MsFortune-Take 110 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) So here's a question I have and I don't know where to put it so I put it in Omorashi General, how does Kirito know if someone has multiple accounts or not? I'm confused as to how someone could find that out. Edited June 11, 2017 by MsFortune-Take (see edit history) Link to comment

desperation_fan 257 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Trust me on this, based on experience from another forum(not something I'm proud of, but just an informational point), if you're doing something unethical or trolling using multiple accounts, they will find out. Even if you delete some of those accounts before getting busted, they have ways... Link to comment

We can easily check to see if a person has multiple accounts. Multiple accounts are against the rules, obviously. Someone who is permabanned cannot easily bypass it unless they literally move somewhere else and buy a new computer. Us mods have tools for checking IP's that takes all of like 5 seconds to see what IP's an account has used, and all activity across that IP, and when and where such activity occurred. Link to comment

Thank you, I just didn't understand how someone could figure out if someone else had another account or not Link to comment

Guest Blurple Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The IP address isn't locked to the computer. Most ISPs give out dynamic or changing IPs unless you have a business account with a static IP address. Yes, IP bans can thwart someone for a short term, but determined trolls can and will get around them. Example: I post from my cellphone which gives me the option to use wifi at home or my carriers network. If one IP were to get banned I could switch to the other. I could also go somewhere with open wifi and use that connection. There are other ways, but I don't think we need to get into them. Link to comment

Even with these conditions alone, you will have to avoid using the connections you've been using on your old account. Switching to your carrier's network or using a public wifi is viable in a short term, but is it really convenient? I prefer to browse this site when I want to and not when the conditions are right. Given the fact that the boldly highlighted thing above is not the only thing at the disposal of the Competent Diviner team, the only winning move in the game against them is not to play.

Guest Blurple Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 True, but I'm just giving the easy examples. There are easy ways to hide your true IP without leaving your home or changing your habits. Link to comment

Palloren 239 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A quiestion I have that relates to this somewhat, what if I theoretically lost the password to this account, so I made a new one, would that get me in trouble Link to comment

Duplicate account tend to be banned without a second thought. Link to comment
facade 1,947 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Or the forgot password link on the login page... Then a contact request if that fails. https://www.omorashi.org/contact/ Edited June 22, 2017 by facade (see edit history) FallingDusk 1 Link to comment
