Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : WHT Announcements, Feedback and Questions : One Account Per Person?

[Tim Harvey]

The forum rules state that you can only have "a maximum of one account per person, regardless of how many companies you represent"

So can each member of a company have their own account? Just wondering because Tim (who is in on same LAN and so has same IP as me) got 15 warning points for "Having too many user names. (Choose one)"

Is it actually one account per IP?

[Coach]

No, you can actually share an IP and have different accounts, however this has been abused severely in the past by shady users in order to get around other various rules on the board by saying that the multiple user names are different users.

Just open a trouble ticket at the link below and it will be looked into for you. The fact that both accounts use an email address with the name "Tim" and the ICQ numbers are the same doesn't look very good though.
