I saw somewhere that someone had been banned for multiple accounts. Now, why is that? Are you not allowed to have more than one account at a time?

Thank you and goodbye.

It's what people call it "sockpuppet accounts".

As stated in our site rules, limit one account per user. Members found to be using a duplicate/alternate account for harassment, spamming and/or trolling will have the duplicate account(s) banned, and in severe cases this may also result in termination and blocking of the original account too.

I've never done this, but I've actually seen people making accounts for different types of their art.

For examples, User1 makes a duplicate account to post all artwork of his OC Sally on it.

Do you get what I mean? I have seen a few FAC members doing this.

...Which is why we watch duplicate accounts for misbehavior rather than banning "just because we can".

Besides, that's better serviced by user-specific gallery sectioning, which is in (slow) development.

I see! Thank you for clearing that up! I will be sure not to create multiple accounts, then! Smile
