Just an idea, feel free to cut me to ribbons. I don't see a reason why the identity of alts has to be so carefully guarded. I think if it's the same person sitting behind the keyboard you should be accountable for what you say and do.
I asked people yesterday what the point of alts was, and imo the first two responses hit the nail on the head. 1. To play tourneys or lower tables you would otherwise be excluded from due to point caps (no need for anonymity) 2. To behave in a way outside of the "norm" for your main, without the repercussions I have maybe 5 people per day spectate and heavily troll me. Granted 3/5 are Shannon's alts, but still. It just got me thinking, why protect the identity of people who primarily use alts to troll? What valid reason is there for anonymity? Just on the topic of Shannon (or any trouble makers who are breaking the rules by playing alts while banned) it would help the mods by allowing the community to police and report accounts. At the moment we just have to speculate if an account is Shannon or not, just to use him as an example. Just my two cents! |

at 7:18 AM, Tuesday January 27, 2015 EST I was the one mentioning bans in the context of clean records.
However, I did not want bans to be executed to alts, I wanted them listed with the alts. E. g. Main gets -play for 2 days, the alt has a note that another account of this player had been given -play for 2 days. On the other hand, currently people having a ban on one account are expected not to play alts. That's pretty much the same as banning alts except for the still clean record. You are right that your idea was not about banning alts. I think it was good to have a discussion about it. There seems to be no big interest though and no majority favoring it. So - good discussion and a quite obvious result: Things stay the way they are from my understanding. |

at 12:43 PM, Thursday January 29, 2015 EST sometimes I feel like you're deliberately obtuse herv... jurg said countless times that you admitted to shannon that you were 'bebel' and then he pretty must told everyone... so it became common knowledge at that point.
he never 'outed' you, so to speak. |
