As you know it says in the CoC Quote:
How Many Usernames Can I Have?
It is best if you have one. Be a real person that you are. You are allowed to have two usernames at Heroes Community. If we find you using three or more, we'll delete them and penalize you.
You've been spoken to about this by more than one moderator now, and have still failed to correct it. In fact you have recently created yet another account to post with.
Please select the two accounts that you wish to use and remove all posts made with the other accounts.
To make it easier, here are links to the profiles. Please don't take this personally, as its something you have been spoken to about before.
edit: In hindsite i deleted the names in case you wish any to be kept hidden, but if you need links I can give em.

Asmodean has two accounts which is not breaking the rules. Who else in the modsquad has more than one?

id say 2ndary accounts are all a toss.
If you got something to say and you dont feel you should say it with your usual account, then maybe its best it doesnt get said at all.
This multiplie account thingy has been up to trouble before and i really cant see any good whatsoever in it unless used for the occational laugh.
So i strongly suggest all extra accounts removed.
That way issues like this never have to be a problem and we get posts that are thought through and has a point which you can stand for behind em.

To my knowledge there are no moderators that have 7 accounts above the two allowed here at HC.
If you feel that rules are being broken here, then you are free to Im a moderator and have the issue raised in modsquad, speak to Valeriy directly, or come right out and say it here.
However that has no bearing on the fact that three moderators have spoken to you about extra accounts and have asked you to rectify the situation. You have not been willing to do that yet - so this thread is simply an effort to reach you once more.
If you are not willing to follow the rules you will end up penalized, and really no one wishes to see that happen.
Real Deal, don't worry about TUM he's only got 2 accounts and that is allowed

screw 2ndary accounts... except TUM they are all boring anyway.
if you think not, give me 3 good reasons why 2ndary accounts should be allowed please.
Id say 1 is enough, in some cases its even more than enough

Actually, I do agree with you there - but not all members do. I mean, it seems silly to me to load up the database with fake nicks - it serves only to slow things down and make it harder to search the memberlist as you're looking througha ton of unneccasary accounts.
I think in the Glade tho, some members choose to post using their character name, especially when they have more than one character in a storyline. To me, this is okay - as there is a valid reason for it.
In the same way, TUM was a valid reason for creating another username, as would be The Ultimate Geek (no I'm not l33t speakin ). In those cases, the name was created for a specific reason wherein it wouldnt do to use your own regular handle. That said however, in both of those cases they are the only two usernames by the member so no problem there anyways.

1) Portraying different moods / personalities. Some people can be both comical and extremely serious, and they may want to express which is current using a different account.
2) Double-posting. In things such as one-person narratives, only one person posts in the thread, and if they use multiple accounts then their post count does not go down for having three or more consecutive posts.
3) Stealth. Sometimes people don't want others to know who it is that is saying something, perhaps because of a reputation. Using an account that you do not normally use is like a mask - even if they know who is wearing the mask, they know that the wearer wants to get a different kind of point across.
Of course, all these require only one extra account, hence the rules, two accounts maximum... Usually one account is enough, though.

so basically:
1) different account depending on mood?
isnt different sides of a person what makes it dynamic? and besides.. if you think one trait of your personality isnt good enough to show with one account name then you problably shouldnt show it at all.
2) to spam up threads?
if you are alone posting in a thread you might wanna take it as a hint and not talk to yourself to increase your post count which leads to spam?
even if i think none of the 3 arguements was good.. i really dont understand this one as it would only mess threads and forums up if everyone started talking to themselves?
3) to hide from opinions?
if you cant stand up for what you think you as in 1 shouldnt write it at all.
Im still waiting for any IMO good arguements, and yes i realise i might sound harsh but so far ive heard one reason i think is good.. and thats making an 2ndary account for the occational laugh.
Except that?
i mean seriously? having different accounts for different moods? thats just making the persons behind the accounts one dimensional and i think is a great step back for good conversations if you cant show all your sides...
it just makes discussions worser and harms the msg board.
and then.. we have the spam the place up reason.. i wont even get started on that again.
Or hiding from our opinions? i mean.. our opinions make alot of who we are. By denying those opinions we are denying parts of ourselves.
now how can THAT be a good thing to a messageboard?
IMO all the 3 reasons given just harms the discussions and i would like the 2nd account rule removed.
EDIT: oh sorry, i missed pans point about more characters in glade.. id say that would qualify as good reason aswell.
so you got
1) good for occational laughs
2) good for role playing in one HC forum out of ten?

I don't think you understand.
See, some people here write stories that they post on the forum, like me (although I didn't write anything for quite a while - sorry for that everyone  ), Consis or RSF. It is a lot easier to read these when there are no reader comments tucked in here and there. This problem is nonexistent in the case of The Minks' Jolly Good Adventure because me and Daddy post alternately, causing no multipost penalty. Consis and RSF however made theirs alone and had to find other means of avoiding the multipost penalty, e.g. by using an extra account.
This is not "talking to yourself" and it actually makes such threads easier to read instead of causing the mess you mentioned.
Also, about the "hiding from opinions" bit.
In certain cases, if member A posts something and member B replies, B's response may be affected (sometimes quite strongly) by A's reputation - either positively or negatively. Sometimes A may want to avoid this.

People should stick with the reputation that they put on themselves. If they don't like it, they should gradually attempt to change it. Don't just bail out and quit.

To be perfectly honest I'd like to see a bit of a modifying to the rules of multiple accounts.
First off it would be no multiple accounts for starters.
In order to get another account you must receive consent from the moderators or Val. You can only get this by giving a good case to convince the mods that the extra account is necessary.
When it is no longer necessary to have the additional account, the account is permanently banned.
That's basically it.
Also another thing. Should we be allowed to spam in Wastelands with extra accounts. I did it with Asmodean and it was quite funny. The posts will get deleted when the thread dies and the account will essentially be cleaned out of HC database automatically.
