Alts are for trolling.

There, I said it.


False. While some are used for that purpose, many aren't.

EDIT: I hate you Spartan.

OP, wasn't it you who had a known alt for posting more news stories in the Flood?

Ironic. You can't have it both ways.

Alts? Nah. Alts being used for ban evasions or spam? Yeah.

Describe for me, aside from reincarnating yourself after a forum ban, what sort of purpose an alternate account would serve?
More groups to be in.

In my case it has to be since there is an apparent problem with the fact that no one will fix the space for 3 groups on this profile.

Even after asking staff to help i get nothing more then ... well nothing at all.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Depends what the account is used for.

I'm trying to become an '04, but it's not working too well."

The only useful reason for an alternate account is to swap gamertags. Aside from that, i really see no point.


My alt has been autodeleted, as i only used it a few times, then forgot the email/password.

kinda sad, as all my H2/H3 stats and pics were deleted :[

well, some people like to mess around with different personalties without making themselves look bad, so they make an alt just to see how acting like that would work, or to see how people would react to a...less common idea before supporting it publicly themselves.


and with the whole ban avoidance thing, some might see the ban as unjust or something similar, but are too scared of your might to contest it.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Oh damn, I didn't know that guy was back again.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

ALts are mostly used to spam and troll in groups now mostly. I dislike them. In my several years on bungie i have never used one.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

People don't get that its posibble to have more then 1 person use a computer. I have 2 brothers who also have an account and when 1 of us gets banned the rest do also. Its completely unfair.

The way to fix this a bit would be not to ban "alts" that have XBL accounts linked.

  • 02.12.2012 4:03 PM PDT

Not at all. Just as long as they are not being used to break rules.

  • 02.12.2012 4:10 PM PDT

Also it is very unfortunate when an account on a college network gets banned, then everyone on that ip that longs in will be subsequently punnished for another persons actions.

Clear your cookies. If I'm not mistaken, every time you're banned a cookie is stored in your browser. If you log into another account while the cookie is still there, the account is auto-banned.

I have a -blam!- ton of Gamertags and I have an account for all of them.

As long as it's not used for ban evasion. I'm tired of PSU poping up every month in a different alt though.

  • 02.12.2012 6:18 PM PDT

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I have a couple of alts. I used them because I want'ed to check my stats, and unlock recon. There are reasons to have an alt.

Other than coming back early from a ban? There's nothing wrong with it. Same reason why people have alt accounts on XBL.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
