The ignore button doesn't stop people from posting, it just means you can't see their posts, Which means they can talk behind your back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe we need a Forums Special Operations Alt busting team. However, I do see the legitimacy of exposing a person behind an alt ( with evidence not speculation) if the person on the alt account is doing something against the rules that is bringing harm to others. I probably need to consider this aspect more carefully , haven't given it a lot of thought so my opinions aren't concrete.. lol @ "forums special operations alt busting team" It's actually against the forum rules to identify alts on the forum, and you can get a slap from the mods. However, if I saw someone being especially malicious with their alts I would AR them and let the mods take care of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gathered from the context it was a report of some kind but wanted clarification on what the acronym meant. I actually didn't know that it was against the rules to out alts either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Amore Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 If something is told in confidence, it's against the rules. Guessing, not so much. Making mistakes and outing yourself? That's just funny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Pole Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I have no problems with people posting on the forums from their additional accounts providing that they are following the rules and not falsely inflating posts using these additional accounts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If light hearted fun its all fine but when there is a vindictiveness behind it then it would just be rude and probably against the spirit of the guidelines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you go first. I've guessed at someone's alt and so have a few people. AFAIK, they didn't get reprimanded nor did I. The posts are also still up for all to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that challenging ruffians to fisticuffs generally works, as they are for the most part cowards at heart. If that doesn't work, running fast is an excellent alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
