No one mentioned about him gaining an advantage so not sure where you got that from, he is constantly deactivating and reactivating 2 accounts which is abusing the system, that isn't what it's there for.

I'm saying, if he's not doing any harm and not gaining an advantage, why shouldn't it be allowed?

But would it hurt for it to changed for you can only reactivate twice or three times or something?

Also would it okay if you could post on both accounts? One day you are posting on one account the next day you are posting on another?

we have recently asked for clarification about it and no 2nd accounts are allowed at all. Sam's post stands.


Does this mean you are not allowed a "friendly only" secondary account?

This should really be clarified to certain members.

no because that is a 2nd account. i have asked admin to clear this up though as there is clearly confusion.

He's not doing any harm or gaining an advantage and I'm not even bothered to be honest, but he is abusing the system because it hasn't been implemented for that reason, was just stating my opinion what i thought of it.

Dgen, I've always wondered....why do you post and agree on something but then when one of your mates post and disagree you agree with them, i just find it quite funny.

The whole point of not having second accounts is that you could cheat your way to a higher rank (unless there are other things I'm not aware of). If he always has one account active only, he can't cheat. No problem.
But whatever you say. Not a big issue anyway.

also you cant really cheat if its a friendly only account as you cant gain rank from it.

i do think its wrong, if its both ranked accounts then one probably could be banned, if one is friendly i don't see a problem.

I am very curious to this admin is who told you this, If this the same admin who reactivates people's accounts? But the rest of the admin team say this is not allowed?
What is point of having a second account for friendlies just play on your main account for friendlies, Or play as a guest lol.

i was referring to the situation of having a friendly only account seb. it is pretty obvious to me that that is a 2nd account, and therefore not allowed.

max what if you want to go for a target, a target what requires a lot of resetting, and i don't really want to be a serial resetter on this account.

logging off and on as a guest can be a pain as you lose stats as you log off.

One admin tells you one thing then another admin tells you something completely different, so what do you do?

i would ask an admin first if its ok, if they say yes then i will make a friendly account for carom (nothing else) as i have this target i want to achieve but its a bit out of my depth so i end up resetting a lot.

consider it a resetting account if you will what doesn't play ranked games
