Why does having an Alt account deserves negative trust?

[dothebeats]

Fun Facts: You can be a DT here by finding tons of alt accounts and managing a campaign without strong background on trading(Congressman are offering free spots on his round table for people who are popular here). I will not mention a name!

Just hyping. Enjoy

That's what's happening here nowadays. A discreet witchhunt of someone's alter ego and counting posts for a campaign would give you the most prestigious (?) award in this forum: being a DT member.

I don't know what is his intention for doing such things like that, Maybe extension of Power I guess? Since that DT added multiple user in his trust list. The forum become worst and dramatic. And all DT involve in every drama was from his list. 

Probably? He has the right to do whatever he wants in this forum since he runs this place, but to force users to trust some egotistic people 'round his circle is something else. But like what theymos said, the trust system needs to be overhauled and be customized for everyone to have their own personal list and DT to be ditched.

I honestly think they're overdoing it sometimes with trust. Having an alt account may deserve a comment in the form of neutral trust, so that if the person decides to back his arguments with his alt ol vouch for himself people won't fall for it. Negatives are an overkill.
There are situation when somebody should get a negative on his alt, but this should be limited to certain actions he did with that account (giving his other accounts trust, abusing signature campaigns, evading a ban, escrowing for himself, and other similar infringements).

It's like you're already convicted without having any trials done. Their powerful circle is allowed to have alts with no questions asked but for the plebs that would be illegal.

I think the stigma against having an Alt is because they are often used to either bypass a Trust Restriction (IE your main is red, so you make another to get around that) or to farm Signature Campaigns. Otherwise I don't see the purpose of having an alt in the first place

And I see one.
For example, if you're running a campaign, escrow, or any other forum business, you don't want people to know your personal opinions because that might impact your business.
If you, for instance, say you're supporting death penalty, or are against gay marriages, someone might not like it and avoid doing business with you. That's why it's wise to separate business accounts from your casual ones.

Whether someone having 2 accounts in 2 different campaigns deserves negative trust is another topic for discussion I guess. I'd still say no, because that person isn't breaking any campaign or forum rules and isn't acting dishonestly in any way.
