WTF?!?

Unfortunately we would have to ban them. Everyone is aware of the fact that creating multiple accounts without a stated reason to the administrator or the mods is in danger of being banned.

And that helps explains why nobody has yet opened a Harlan Fuckleby account.

Registering as we speak (j/k)

Mad,
Can you send me over some duplicate Latinas for the weekend ??

B

Finally, a reasonable and well thought out request.

Of course my pale Packer brother!

But the carpet might not match the curtains! Might not even have any carpet at all!

Nobody likes carpet anyways!!!

I think the whole thing is it's easier to deal with somebody who would want to do harm to the forum by banning duplicate accounts than letting the cat of the bag and having to deal with the admin work that it would take to deal with them after they did the harm.

That's all I'm going to say about that.

Hell, I've raised a stink about getting something other than "Trailer Rat" and the Redneck Mexican won't listen to me, so I've moved on. That wasn't even put up to a damn vote.

I don't get the joke behind it myself, but I think it's funny mad won't change it

How about

Because the guy running the ship said so

It might not be a perfect system, but its the system thats in place, and its about 6000% better than the alternative.

A quick $.02 re: multiple IDs ...

Many folks have the opinion this forum is a more friendly place than others on the web ... a place where debate is spirited and yet respectful ... a place where members make plans to meet each other in person as friends ... hell, we even have the friendliest and most respectful "troll" I've ever met, one who has been a part of said meetings despite being a fan of the Dread Purple.

It's my opinion that the ban on multiple IDs is directly responsible for this positive environment ... perhaps even more so than the fact that lurkers must register in order to read content. You get ONE identity here, and everything you say is attributable to that single identity. If you want to be repected and welcomed in this friendly place, you will be compelled to conduct yourself in a socially acceptable manner.

With multiple IDs, this social reinforcement is lost. You could hide behind different identities in order to post something nasty one minute and friendly the next ... and if you regret being nasty, no harm if you stop using that "nasty" ID. Just create another one the next time something nasty comes to mind.

Under the current setup, nasty posts have social consequences. The result is an almost total lack of the behavior the Internet is famous for---statements made in print that a person would never say to another's face. I think it's wise to keep it that way.

Regarding the argument that multiple IDs could be used for good rather than evil ... it's a trade off I think most of us are willing to make. We value the atmosphere here enough that we will preclude the occasional comic alter-ego in order to preserve it. FWIW, mraynrand, I thought your "Cleft Crusty" column was well-received and very funny even when posted under your own ID.

IMHO

hit the nail right on the head

Good, she is hot.

She'd be better without braces. Not bad, though. One thing that annoys me about her is she craves for attention. She'll say she'll leave, than she'll come back, than she'll start a thread about her pregnacy issues, than she'll post private messages.

For Fuck's sakes people it's PackerRats, not Days of Our Lives.

I know but the key is....she's hot.

Best argument I've seen yet. Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it (I mean that).

Happy to help .... I could see where you were coming from on this, as "rules are rules" has never cut it for me either.

Braces are alright, they straighten your teeth up nicely. How can you even tell? I had braces and my teeth are now perfect.

Well you can bet your ass I'm not leaving till I get the boot. Sure I crave the attention, I mean sometimes this place is slow, so why not stir some shit. Sue me.

Based on the fact I read every new thread and skim every post, I would say that its definitely busier than ever. There's no need to stir shit up and make excuses.

Working out just takes me from Greg Norman to Tiger Woods. Either way, I am pretty damn cool and rich.
