I found a post saying these exact words "you cannot have a seccond acount because its agianst the rules". Now arouses my question: why is it agianst the rules? I know it has to deal with a moral but i can't think of it at this period.

Abandoning an account and starting over again is OK. If we catch you abusing the multiple accounts though we would do something depending on the situation. We understand multiple personality disorder well at thehelper.net and as long as the two accounts are unaware of themselves you will not have a problem.

Define abusing.

What if we have 3 personalities? Or we want to "reserve" a name :D

Well, what could possibly happen if, for example, and purely at random, I perma-banned, let's say Sil3nt and the next best new member like... what we had recently here... Batman?

Would also allow for bad puns like "You have the right to remain sil3nt" :p

You think you have suprised me, you are wrong. I have long known of your advanced technologies and tracking devices. But no matter how advance it is, you can never find the batcave.

Anyway, even if you manage to defeat me, Superman would stop you. Super [strength, speed, hearing, flight, vision], xray sight, heat vision, icey breath; that guy can do everything, he's just a bit retarded in the fashion department.



And for no particular reason at all

However if one of them goes into threads filling them with RP-style spam, there might be a problem. And I'm not just talking forum-wise. :nuts:

Let me spell it out for you.

The two accounts must not talk to each other, interact with each other at all. We understand multiple personalities but talking to yourself is just not allowed. If you came in and answered a bunch of questions for a year then wanted to do something you make another account and go to a different forum and start discussing. You have 2 accounts. We dont care. You get the ban hammer when you rep yourself and reply to your own posts, start talking about your other account, or whatever. It is just common sense stuff.

Another thing about multiple accounts, though I allow them according to the above it is not a feeling shared by all the staff (in other words I think I am the only one that does not care). I kinda get this feeling if you guys continue pressing this issue, asking for further definitions and such it might get squashed.

Members with 2 accounts tend to spam. Simply. It's near inevitable; when they have an idea, they have 2 opportunities to post. Therefore, double the possibility of spam.

I ban second accounts when I become aware of them, usually.

Regardless of reasoning, unless it's a thing like "I forgot my password". Then I change the password, PM the account and soon after ban the second one.

I don't see it as a major issue you only give one rep if you’re a new member and to create a new account would be the quickest off jobs and you would need different email address just to stay less detected it’s not a slow progress :s but it agents the rules so I don't suggest trying it just a waste of time and your more off a rep addict than everyone else

Just like my split personality. And I had never thought it would end up here.

Yes, I did have two accounts interact together, got banned, and came back to face the problems I had with it. It still lingers. I still have two accounts, one is banned permanently, the other over-active as always. You may imply to others that you have two accounts, you may quote the sentences the older account had made, and you may tell others that you are a reincarnate, but you can't have two active accounts altogether talking together, such as the incident in Battle.Net, where more than 4 groups of people talked anonymously and got banned by the clan leader.

It's like "cloning" in the real world. It brings up a lot of controversy around it every time someone mentions to make clones, either from themselves or others.

Admins can detect the ip's that log into the account so if you want to hide your identity then you need to change your IP every time you login to an alias. And if I did it, it wouldn't be for rep, that's a bit too obsessed imo.

@tom
How do you know if your account is banned? Can't login? Can't post? Just wondering.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
