i register.
everything goes well.
until i start making posts and responding posts.
then an sociopath/self-righteous/jerk/communist moderator gives me warning. i try to talk to them. why? how? just to make it even worse. no warning. no forgiveness,
i feel like forums always has to punish you for everything. say something wrong. ban. i feel like the forums practice communism. everything you say will me and must be used against you.
anyway i get a few days/months ban. i make a new account and abandon ship the old one.
few days later they see its shares the same ip adress with the banned one. gets banned too
Multi-accs are never liked in any forum.
One easy rule for forums is: Use common sense, and you did not probably. We moderators just dont go out here and warn people, actually there is a very small number of warnings, and bans are not an usual thing either.
You have to be really hard working for these warnings and bans, and lets be honest. When i knock at your door, do you want that i advertise the newest product from xy to you?
VR6 and W16 request - you did not use the common sense, which is search-engine and the FAQ.
And for your info: The last warning/ban issued by misbehaviour or just because we felt like to do it was >4weeks ago. So if you feel offended by getting punished/warned about your misbehaviour, then this is not the place for you, sorry.
Edit: If you have a problem with one of us, discuss that in a PM, not openly here. Either discuss that with the Moderator that you have the issue with, or with an Administrator or even with a beta assistant.

im not talking about this forum only.
i had a warning 4 weeks ago ???
Now you see, firstly, your points are pretty much invalid here because I know almost all of the Moderators here closely and they’re a very lenient bunch. This whole community is actually one of the most friendly and low maintenance I’ve seen so far.
I’ve looked at the logs and have seen that the only warnings on this forum to users so far are for double, triple, and even sextuple posting.
Now, finally, I have a piece of advice. It might not be the smartest idea to call a moderator a “sociopath/self-righteous/jerk/communist” and then complain about how you’re being warned and banned. Free speech and all that but if you call someone that in public, I’d be surprised if you didn’t get a punch in the face.
Tl;DR: UltimateBMWfucius say “Don’t be rude, won’t get banned.”
From my experience being a forum moderator on other forums, the most common reason for having multiple accounts is ban evasion, which is strictly against the rules on most forums.
Furthermore, there is usually little if no real reason to have multiple accounts.
To add to this, if you do happen to have a reason to have a multi-account, it’s an unspoken rule of forums to seek permission rather than beg forgiveness, i.e. ask before you do it. Then the mods/admins will be able to tell you whether they think that reason is valid/will work on the forum, and what conditions might need to be met in order to run that account.
From my own experience, multi-accounts are frequently not only used to evade bans, but to also misrepresent and skew evidence in the event of drama (which inevitably happens). The worst offenders? Why, those who have undeclared alternate accounts, of course! So naturally, any moderator with enough experience is naturally wary of the undisclosed multi-account user.
p.s. mods, if it’s not already in any forum TOC or FAQ, it might be a good idea to explicitly state the rule, one account per person unless specifically okayed by a mod/admin!
Have you ever been to ThemeParkReview?
I once while being there said “Shame there’s no pictures of this one coaster” NOTICE: i said shame there isn’t, which is probably the most polite way of saying it.
Welp the moderator that also owns the website deleted the post and told me:
Instead of complaining about our reports, which I spend a hell of a lot of time out of my day writing and posting when I could be on rides, how about you appreciate what we DO post? And if that doesn’t satisfy you, then go out to the park and post your own report.
