Subject: What's your opinion of alts? Are they bad?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I won't say anything buy I may or may not have one....I think they're alright if you don't make it for bad purposes such as trolling or spamming.

You're not supposed to make them, so I don't. Also, they're pointless.

They're pretty pointless.

It depends on what you're using it for I guess. If you make multiple alts to troll it gets old and pointless, but I use to have one for keeping up with a different gamertag.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

They're k. Nearly pointless, yes, but k.

There're many legitimate reasons to have an alt, like: name change, multiple gamertags, and hiding from your stalker. Unfortunately though, the spammers and trolls also realize how simple it is to hop onto an alt, and dump the ban.

When it comes down to it - it's all about how you use it.

Who the hell do you think I am?

I would never use one.

I use them to keep tabs on groups that are dead and I don't want filling my membership queue. Most of my use of alts involves using them for groups. They're handy.

And last I checked, there was no rule against them. Ya, people abuse them, but people also abuse whoopee cushions. Does that mean we outlaw those?

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

They are used to spam and troll.... or used as reserve accounts for those that spam and troll.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

Well I personally don't care. Some people made alts for good reasons, others made them for no reason, and some just made them for bad purposes. I don't think they're all bad, just the bad ones.
