I was wondering. Can you get banned for getting a second account?
For example, I already have an account. But what if I want to create a second one? Will I get banned?

I don't think so, I have a friend with an alternate account, and he's not banned.

Not automatically, but you can't be logged on both, actively posting with both at the same time. also, you have to identify your other account on both accounts.

It's fine, just make sure you tell a mod you made it; and put a link to the alt in your profile, and your a link to your profile on the alt.

People just get in trouble when they try to deceive people using an alt, other wise it's fine.

This is my second account. (I wasn't banned in the other, I quit)

So, no. You don't get banned.

By the way people, I'm space20. :P

Lots of top 100 users have second accounts. For some reason, they get tired of being in the top 100 and they make new accounts to escape it...

Well, under normal circumstances you can't get in trouble for it(lots of people have alts, as they're called), but you can't be on both at the same time, and in the case that you create another account to circumvent a ban, then yes, that would get your new account banned.

Why not? I don't see how that would hurt anything...

Well if your on both at the same time then you can get losts of AP in almost no time at all. That really isn't fair to the other users.

Ehh, I guess, but you would have the points on both accounts. They might as well just go on a spam fest with one account, at least they'd have a large sum to show for it.
