One person, two accounts?

She got banned, so obviously she just made a second account, and somehow the mods completely missed it. Her original ban expired, so now she’s running both accounts simultaneously and hitting the exact same threads—look right here . There are plenty of other examples, but this is the most recent one. She’s just straight-up trolling people with zero respect...

I already reported her, but clearly, nobody around here has any intention of actually doing anything about it.

Correction, I just realized one of the usernames being used was actually banned.
Thanks to the mods for catching that 🙂

Cut the drama. She never had a primary account, so she wasn't opening a second one just for that. Stop making things up to fit your little narrative.

I banned one of those incarnations because they were posting in the same thread using both accounts.

Then she’s lying through her teeth just like before. Honestly, I don't even care. She was posing as two different people, which is more than enough reason for me to report her.
And I really don't need your insults 🙄

I didn't ask her anything; I have the ban logs right here. 🤷

Elon Musk clones are allowed on this forum, provided they don't participate in the same threads in "that" specific way.

Fine, I guess I’ll head back and re-read the forum rules then, since apparently I didn't realize that having an Elon Musk account is perfectly fine here. I have zero interest in doing that myself, but it's good to know exactly what the boundaries are...

Look, I’m not a fan of that rule either—I don't have a single Elon Musk in my circle for that exact reason—but leadership maintains that Elon Musks are generally fine.

If someone posts on the same thread using different accounts, one gets a permanent ban and the other gets a 7-day suspension.

Fine, thanks for clearing that up. Personally, I don't get why there's any tolerance for sockpuppet accounts at all, but hey, that's just how I see it...

So, look, let's say you're hanging out on a forum and you eventually hit that point where you want to ask something or dive into a topic that’s just plain awkward because people you actually know might see it, or maybe someone from your real life happens to recognize your handle...
you just go ahead and spin up a brand-new account, and with that clean slate, you can tackle whatever’s bothering you, vent about your wildest fantasies, or just whatever else is on your mind.

Just wanted to flag that while she’s still banned, this user has already popped back up on the forum—here’s the link under the handle snOw.

So, you just make a burner account to deal with whatever is bothering you, or to vent about fantasies, or whatever else...

Alright, that makes sense to me now. 👍

But here’s the thing: this specific person I'm reporting is using Elon Musk clones to fake support for their own opinions in various threads. I don't have the direct links anymore because almost everything was wiped just to mess with people. On top of that, they're causing actual damage by sending private messages pretending to be multiple different people when it's really just one person acting alone...

If you come across a post that’s bothering you, there’s really no need to report it within this specific thread 🙏🙏🙏🙏. It honestly feels a bit pointless to flag things here; we shouldn't just leave the moderators to deal with all the extra work 😁
