Talligurl Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 So I made an alt and tried to log him onto the forums and I couldn't. I am assuming there is a waiting period. anyone know for how long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I don't think there's a waiting period. After all, trolls make alts and post garbage here with one day old accounts. What sort of failure do you get, exactly? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Have you logged the alt inworld yet? That might be a requirement. ETA -- I just confirmed that you need to log inworld first. Likely because that is when you accept the TOS.

Conifer Dada Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Many years ago someone started a thread on the old SL forums for people who had never posted before (lurkers?) to add their first post. So I created an alt called Forumsinglepost Artful to make one post on that thread, after which I immediately deleted that account. I know I'm straying off-topic slightly and you can see how long ago this was because Forumsinglepost Artful had a proper second name. I wonder if the late Forumsinglepost holds the record for the shortest active account in SL at probably no more than 10 minutes between creation and deletion! I imagine that even 'throw-away' griefer alts last a bit longer than that before they get AR'd and LL catches up with them and bans them!

Anna Nova Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I have an alt that is premium and a beta user, and could not get logged into the forums. Tried everything. Asked for support, got told to raise a Jira, Jira said go back to support as the forums are 3rd party provided, finally after another 2 weeks support fixed it. If all else fails, you will need to raise a ticket, the Support Lindens are very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelindaN Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 All my alts log into the forums without a problem. Even Cordelia who was maybe only one week old first time. But they had all logged in world first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kali Wylder Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I was an alt for 3 years, then I became the main and my original avatar became an alt. Kattatonia posted on the forums until sometimes in 2011 or so, and I maybe posted once or twice before 2012 and then not again until sometimes last year(whenever it was that Dil's music thread reached 10,000 posts and died). Never had a problem. none of my other alts have ever posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days really aren't worth getting out of bed for After you posted your question yesterday, I created a new alt, tried to log into forums, got a message saying access was denied or some such, and then when I went to log back in as Marigold, my main avatar, I found I still got the same access denied message, and couldn't log in any which way, until today. As I found I could do so at my brother's house, it had to be something to do with browser, although by this point (thinking while soaking in the bath), I'd already submitted a support ticket to Linden Lab, because I couldn't log in here to find the answer. Fixed it myself when I got out of the bath, haven't tried the alt yet. (My new alt is a male too. Making a new avatar was fun all over again.)

Default male avatar, but wearing a nice freebie bathrobe acquired from the London City sim I arrived inworld in. Quite a few people around looking shell shocked, made no new friends, but am full of cold and not feeling all that communicative while everything feels like a cotton wool head filled dream. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansiri Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have only used this one here, i once tried to log in here with my alt but got some error. Maybe it was some temporary thing, but gave up, wasn't that important. Seems though here shouldn't be any block for alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parhelion Palou Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Here I am with my 3 youngest alts. One of them has posted in the forums before and the others had never logged into them. They've all logged into SL; that's why they exist. As @LittleMe Jewell said, that's necessary to log into the forums. I suspect it's an additional barrier to the bot accounts we used to see here a lot. I'm the little one at the bottom of the picture. I've logged them all in to the forums so they can have their first (and very likely last) post. Peri's had some posts before, so this is a way to show that she's one of my alts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parhindon Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I've been around for almost 4 years. I exist to test things like clearances under things and permissions. I'm also in the early stages of being a typical SL male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
