Title: Is it allowed to use alt that has your main account name?
Post by: Angelo Santos on February 21, 2018, 03:30:15 AM
Is it allowed to use alt account if you use something like this "Angelo Santos_alt" and verify that it is your alt account. Is there a chance you'll get negged simply for having such?

I have DarkStar_alt (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=862062), and have had it for nearly 2 years now, so I'm going to say no. You might get a negative trust that mirrors the current negative trust you have though.

I see, okay thanks!

Sorry if it sounds rude but why is your account not having negative trust ? Is there any privilege for senior members ?

Merely having an alt is not necessarily untrustworthy, it is just often the case that people use their alts for untrustworthy things. There is nothing wrong with creating an alternate account and making it public. It would be great if everyone was this upfront about it.

I'm not farming signature campaigns with it, trying to cheat giveaways or bounties, and I'm not sending myself positive trust or merits. I don't see any reason for me to get a negative trust.

Alts aren't always bad, even theymos has one.
