Yep, that's what I really meant by this: 1 hour ago, Love Zhaoying said: Most often, we catch "sock puppets" because they have a low post count and enter a thread to agree with an "unpopular opinion", etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persephone Emerald Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Sometimes alts can be used inworld for purely practical purposes - testing permissions, as models for clothing, trying animations in furniture, as roleplay characters or shop assistants, etc. I think alts can also be fun to use. I like to give my alts different personalities and interests, sort of like characters in a book. They can represents different sides of my personality or different moods. I'm very fond of my alts Alycia and Tasha, because they're not just copies of regular me. My guy alt is unfortunately still rather boring, because I have a hard time imagining myself as a male character. I don't use my alts to inflate my status on the forums or have arguments with other people, though sometimes Alycia and I bicker a bit. Tasha (a wolf) also dislikes pickles, though I don't myself. I'm pretty transparent about my alts - except for the newbie I recently made to view the Welcome Hub from the perspective of a new user. I haven't released her name to the public yet. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I have never nor will ever post on these forums with an alt unless I make it perfectly clear that it's my alt. What one does inworld.with alts is none of my business. Here, to me, is entirely different and I think the majority of people posting aren't playing a role (as some use alts for inworld). I do have a Twitter under an unused alts name. I don't post there, though. I use it to read some SL content. Considering who started this, I find the topic disingenuous. Are you looking for.an OK from everyone? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoiraKathleen Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Personally, I don't have any problems with alts posting in the forums. I generally accept each account I see in the forums, or even inworld, as it's own account (unless specifically told otherwise by one of the accounts). I don't spend time trying to figure out if someone might be an alt of another account, as I don't see any reason to do so. Threads where someone brings in an alt to act as sockpuppet don't bother me too much either, as often those are threads I quickly give up interest in reading. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to experience something of what a new resident would feel. I used the LL viewer, with which I'm not very familiar. Even though I was dropped at the Firestorm gateway, I wanted to be treated like a returning user who had been away for a while, rather than as a current resident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arielle Popstar Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 There has been a few occasions where I suspected that there were posters and responders who are in effect Linden Lab alts in spirit in that though they may be operated by different Lindens, are in effect using them to run a defense against any ideas for viewer progress that the Lab doesn't want to incorporate. By deriding the ideas they make it appear that there isn't a community support for some potential upgrades. Might sound conspiratorial but been a few occasions where I had a nagging feeling that it is what was going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephtyria Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Takes a sip of tea as she skims through the thread. Scrunches her face up and saunters off, only to presently return with a glass of red ..

AzureWaves Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I'm an alt on the forum, because so many people are petty and if you disagree with them, they hunt you down and boycott you or keep digging at you every chance they get. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
