Well, is sharing accounts against the rules? If so, why?

5. RULES OF CONDUCT Your use of the Site is subject to all applicable local, state, national laws and regulations and, in some cases, international treaties. You are solely responsible for all activities, acts and omissions that occur in, from, through or under your user name or password. You shall not use, allow, or enable others to use the Site, or knowingly condone use of this Site by others, in any manner that is, attempts to, or is likely to:

...

* violate any laws, regulations (including, without limitation, laws regarding the transmission of technical data or software exported from the United States), judicial or governmental order or any treaties, or violate or infringe upon any intellectual property rights, rights of publicity or privacy or any other rights of ours or of any other person, firm or enterprise; gain unauthorized access to the Site, other users' accounts, names, passwords, personally identifiable information or other computers, websites or pages, connected or linked to the Site or to use the Site in any manner which violates or is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;


Sharing accounts is similar to gaining unauthorized access to another account. For example, say you and a friend share the account 'Zega'. Your friend's a jerk and starts posting pornography on the forums without a care in the world about the account, you both are held liable for your actions, not just your friend.

Besides, accounts are made for individuals to use -- if there were joint accounts, I'm sure AG would've made an application form for them.

There's a bigger technical reason, but I really can't think of the words right now!

This might be more helpful:
"1. REGISTRATION AND USE OF PASSWORD
We may require each user to have a unique user name and password combination in order to access and use certain features or functions of the Site. Please read our Privacy Policy, which describes the personally identifiable information ("Personal Information&quot we collect, use, disclose, manage and store. As part of the registration process for the feature or function, you will choose a user name and password. Your user name and password are personal to you and you may not allow any others to use your user name or password under any circumstances. We are not liable for any harm caused or related to the theft or misappropriation of your user name or password, disclosure of your user name or password, or your authorization of anyone else to use your user name or password. You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of or believe there is or may have been any unauthorized use of (or activity using) your user name or password or any other need to deactivate your user name or password due to security concerns."


So pretty much, you should never allow anyone on your account, or ever share your password. Anything that they do under your account (spam, profanity, etc.) will be looked upon as you did it personally, and you will be in danger of being banned. So the whole 'my brother went on my account' thing does not fly. Because you would have violated the Terms and Conditions as well.
