Do not stress over using a public or shared computer. Do not stress over using a network. This is not an automated system. A human must make the call, the tools provided by vBulletin (IP logging) only identify potential clones. We know people share computers, we know people use public computers and we know some large networks share a single IP.

I would like Alarra, WampaX, and Supagoof merged thanks.

Bluff check [roll0] -I hope you have a very low DC come to think of it...

I think I have a Captain Jack Sparrow (or was it just Jack Sparrow?), and I badgered my friend into creating a Bert The Dragon once. The first can be merged, second friendly banned.

Yeah, if you can just merge El Jaspero, Vael, Rex Idiotarium, and wxdruid into my account, that'd be fine. You can just go ahead and friendly ban Charity and Fax Celestis.

((Dang.))

People are worried about the chances of an innocent mistake here. I believe this is unique among your current rules in that an innocent mistake could result in a ban. Will there be an appeals process for 'closed' accounts, perhaps PM ability only, so that they may contact a mod and try to work out which accounts were in conflict?

Question may be stupid, but are the posts of the banned alts are still functionable? Supagoof mad various (very funny) entries in my game with his different alts, and I don't want my thread to look like digital swiss cheese suddenly.

If he is merging the alts then they will all show up as Supagoof having the posts, otherwise, I believe the posts are still there, it just states the user as banned.

It has been suggested that I should use the term 'closed' rather than 'banned' (aka 'friendly banned') for accounts you no longer what to use. Although there is technically no difference, I think this is a better term to use.

You will know when the accounts have been merged or closed, trust me, you will know.

We will take efforts to ensure that no mistakes are made and people don't claim alts that are not theirs. When we start actually closing/merging accounts, we will detail the appeals procedure and let you all know what is happening.

I have made a supplemental thread to this to make identifying alts much easier, if you are able to log in and post as per my instructions in that thread, then we very much appreciate it.

My brother had an account on here at one point (don't know if he had it removed in some way or just abandoned it, I know he's stopped posting here though) which I believe was called Michaelius (might've been Michealius, but I'm fairly sure it's the former). I know he's posted from one my machines before and used that machine to register, so I'm just letting you know it's not me. I'm not doing this in the supplemental thread as a). obviously I can't log in to it as it's not my account and b). I don't know what he wants done with it (I doubt he cares tbh). Like I say this is mostly to confirm that it's not me but my brother.

so you were the Carbon Rod....can't say i'm surprised...

well, i have two alternate accounts....
party1 (my alt account for town, forgot the password)
and No-one (joke account, like the carbon rod)

i have some questions though:
1) what will be the difference between "Friendly Bann" and "Merge"?
2) if those accounts dissapear, can i change the e-mail reference to one of them?
