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

Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

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

I'd like to be half-man half-tree in an octopus' garden in the shade.

Nah. This place would be boring if all the permabanned users just went away forever.

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

Well, I have an alternate account because I couldn't link my gamertag to this account due to difference in e-mail addresses.

Yes people use them for trolling/spamming, but people also use them because they lose interest in their username or have the username linked to a wrong account or something along those lines. People learn to take the bad with the good; besides the only way to really tell if it is an alt account is if the username is close to the profile that you are trying to imitate or a recent join date, and if the user is posting with good forum etiquette why would it matter if it is an alternate account? I don't think it's that bad of a problem.

This case, which applies to me as well, I don't see how it could be bad.

I have a -blam!- ton of Gamertags and I have an account for all of them.
The hell do you do with them? Sell em?


Why you know someone who is looking to buy?

Describe for me, aside from reincarnating yourself after a forum ban, what sort of purpose an alternate account would serve?

I have a second account (not for getting past bans, though). I tried to use it after I got banned a while back just to see that it got banned with this account. It makes no sense to make a second one when you'll just be banned again...

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Alternate accounts are bad m'kay.

I'm gonna be honest: I also use alts to be a member of more than 25 groups. Suck it, webteam.

There are certain, um... Methods to avoid this, shall we say?
