Are you allowed to make more than one account here?

[ElevationNotice]

This is my only account I've had for 2 years. I'm curious, can you make more than one account here while having an active account?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Sure. What sock puppet would you like?

I believe you can only have one account per email address.

Why would you need to?

Yes but at least he/she/they/whatever's on a nice clean Disney site.

I have seen people create a second account because they were planning a surprise trip for their partner. And their partner was also a member, I think. Something like that.

Whatever the reason, if you use a different email address... how would they know?

They'd know through mac address, IP address, cookies and a number of other data points collected from the forum software.

Good point, but would they care?

There is at least a handful of banned members who have returned under a new name. And I know at least two who lost their login details and just created a new account.

Unless there is a reason to investigate, I do not think they will go through the trouble.

LOL. Finals week here for High School. Break is next week.

I agree with you that they normally wouldn't care. I think it used to matter with known banned members, something they don't seem to worry about lately, and trouble makers trying to start again. I guess they don't care until they need to care and they would use those data points to help.

Even if you use a VPN?

Even if you use a VPN?

That is a bit more technical than I am on the subject but I think the only thing a VPN would eliminate the tracing of would be the IP address. Your MAC would remain the same and the cookie data would be intact as well as far as I know. I'd imagine there are other tracking points within the software that I'm certainly not aware of as well. Maybe someone with more technical knowledge could offer some input as well?
