There are lots of valid reasons for you to have a second account. Merely having a second account will not warrant a ban. However the same rules apply to every account - break the rules and you might earn a suspension or a ban.

That's good to know, but I have no valid reasons nor any desire for a 2nd account. As is there's already too many passwords for banking, shopping etc to remember.

Our stand on dupes is very similar to having multiple bank accounts.
You can have accounts in multiple banks, or multiple accounts in one bank. As long as you don't do anything illegal or unlawful with it, nobody is going to stop you.
If you use even one of it with the intention to abuse or break the rules, don't be surprised if all your accounts get terminated.

question is why do we need multiple accounts for?
thats your right as a user. we do not recommend it, but yes, some people feel the need to have split personalities, and others just want to take online anonymity to another level.
As long as you stick to the board rules, we are not going to penalize you merely for having a second account.

No dupes, no traffic, no ad revenue.
whether the forums are open for dupes, or the two times last year when we suspended new registrations for over two months, it did not make much difference to our traffic.

Previously dupes were simply not allowed.
If there's a change in rules /policy, why wasn't the rule change made known? Announced?
what triggered the change in anti-dupe policy?

What about the ones that keep breaking the rules with accounts one by one and then keep making new ones? can't they get banned permanently by geolocation/device? Even if their room mates are affected, they should beat the troublemaker so he stops getting them in trouble. Also this will hit the macai/trooper farm greatly.

I tot there is always new member register monthly since few years ago. But data from nov 2017, show almost consistent number of visitor which is 6 million per month. Means number of actual members not growing. No of visitor not growing up with no of new registration. This scenario not worrying to u ke in case one by one people left k forum one day since new members not growing.
I believe new registration mostly dupe. Yeah, people can have multiple dupe, but when they online, they only use one account, which explain why no of visitor is consistent since nov 2017.
...dupes are not illegal simply because you can't differentiate between a genuine new user and someone who (probably) got their main account banned but still itching to post.
Dupes are so rampant that a possible new user automatically is seen as a dupe.
So again, not illegal but same rules apply.
There are dupes that purposely create new account to harass, threaten, kamikaze, etc. Those will be dealt the same way as other users. Obviously.
Nampak tak permainan se7en. More traffic more huat for him.
Means lowyat.net more pipul come layan or troll in it.
More than that, dupes eventually get silenced and post to themselves becoz their posts invisible to others, but /k still enjoy the traffic from the silenced dupes for advertisements.... very devious
Yup, it's crueler than ban u, they just let u talk to yourself...
Yeah, it took me for a week until I noticed something is definitely off because I cant view all my previous thread or reply, then test it out by replying offensive words and open kamikaze thread.
It's better if they were to use dupes. If their place of work, car they use, and even the extension number of their work place get revealed by carelessness, and then write something uncalled for about someone's mother, what would happen if all his activities were known at work? What is someone who he offended comes by for a visit?

When new user uses and is familiar with all the jargon, that is not a new user.
This is one consequent of officially allowing dupes. 2.42am create dupe just to write nonsense.

It’s kinda remarkable they haven’t said a single thing about duping. I remember being one of the few to actually have a good legendary gun, it felt kind of nice.
Really kills enjoyment knowing how easy it is to get anything in the game illegitimately, I have no idea how it hasn’t done the same for these dupers. Like oh cool, you’re selling every legendary weapon in the game for caps, now if only you had something to actually spend the caps on. Warframe has this community of people aswell who rather do nothing else but grind in-game currency, but at least in that game the economy hasn’t crashed, and there is unique shit that’s hard to find. I find zero appeal in constantly trading in Fallout. Even getting a mass amount of caps from trading with players is easy even with selling items legitimately, so I’m always wondering how these people with everything duped continue to sell shit.
