Only one account per IP address

I thought we could have 5?

It's a temporary precaution due to the recent spammer attack.

Ah, k.

Those of us who already have a few will be ok if we stay logged into just one of them, right? (also I thought the limit was ten, but that's beside the point.)

Stupid doomed timeline...

How long will this last? I want a new sockpuppet with a name that doesn't make me so easy to Flanderize.

something

Yes. I tested it out earlier and took the sockpuppet out on a test-run. Everything is a-okay for me.

From what I've heard, I'm pretty sure this is just a block on account creation with IP overlap. If you already have two, I think you're fine.

Infinite Tree: an experimental story

Yes. Some people will have grandfathered accounts that they can still log in with. Treat them gently. There won't be any more.

So, new sockpuppets are officially banned now?

Collaterally.

You can thank the wave of spammers.

I know there are ways around it but I don't really feel like breaking site rules (sort of) to get sockpuppets. guess it's just me and jesus.

Well, that's another item for the list of nice things we*

can't have because some asshole found a way to abuse them.

Infinite Tree: an experimental story

It's life. Thankfully I have two, and am staying at my main one. My other one's Hydrozor, though. It's too bad, though. A few jokes are fine and dandy, till it goes too far.

Also, if you lose your password, are you still allowed to make ONE sockpuppet to recover it? Keeping this in mind, everybody's allowed one main and one sockpuppet, right? I just want clarification to avoid any problems.

Quest 64 thread

Nope. One IP, one account. Keep track of your account info.

Ah. Thank you for clarifying that.

Quest 64 thread

This wouldn't stop, I assume, people going to their library to create an account to request a password reset then having the account at the library killed, allowing someone else to do the same?

My name is Addy. Please call me that instead of my username.

Yeah. I have a library nearby that I could use to create a sockpuppet. I may want to create one in the future, but not any time soon...

What about computers that cycle IPs?

Or shared IP's in a number of places for that matter?

You guys having a contest to see who can come with the highest number of ways to ask a question for which the answer is "One IP, one account"?

Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

That would certainly blow for university students who share ips.

Can the forum rules be changed then, since it still says we can have ten accounts.

Or Singapore.

That's a good point. This could lead to some issues in the future.

Oh yeah.

So is Vatican City.

So Singapore, Universities, and libraries are screwed. Well nice way to alienate members and editors.

Is this permanent? Or only untill you figure out a better way to avoid spam?
