Second accounts! I knew I forgot something. Yeah, they are insta-ban as well.

Apparently, I have been declared banished.

I've seen several staff-members and other 'favoured' members do that, on occasion. Made for some funny stuff... so, why were they not banned? Or is it just bannable for us regular folks?Second accounts! I knew I forgot something. Yeah, they are insta-ban as well.

The rightful owner of this Ciddie can kiss my arse! :P
I am also Chu52. This is my first ever account.
(SPOILER)Just kidding
A year or two ago, there were a bunch of people creating second accounts for a joke (repo_man being a prime example), and from what I can remember, a couple of these included staff members. I don't recall a ban being imposed on second accounts until just recently, and - correct me if I'm wrong - but "Insta-Bans" for second accounts are only enforced if the member who has created the second account has done so in response to their first account being banned.

There are some staff second-accounts, like Loony BoB's good friend Award Guy, who uses a second account. Then there's the EoFF Sniper, who never posts anymore. Second accounts that actually have a purpose other than misleading EoFFers into thinking there's someone new. Second accounts usually get banned; but, depending on the circumstances, the original account might not get banned. Depends on what the second one was being used for.
It's pretty safe to assume that we've all got second accounts. There's no use denying it.

Hi.
Though I use this to double check things which don't want to see as a normal user but I see normally in the admin account
EDIT: Oh, I'm banned anyway, I guess that means that the banning of second accounts applies to me too
No banning should be 100% permanent unless it's for something major like continuous posting of porn of threatening to kill someone. At another forum I'm a staff member of we had a member who posted a link to a video, the last four seconds of which were (according to the admin who dealt with him) hard core homosexual porn. He got a week long ban. If he posts something like that again, he'll likely get perma-banned, yeah.
Although there are times where someone makes account after account after account to just spam. Seen a few of them. I think on one of them the site owner actually wrote to the public facility where the guy was accessing the account and got them to block the site.
It does all depend on what the preson's being banned for I guess, but year-long bans aren't really the way to go. A few weeks maybe, once or twice, before the really long bans or perma-ban.

What you do works for your board, what we do works for our board. I've adminned/staffed at dozens of boards and I can tell you now that each one of them has a different set of rules and each set of rules works for them. This site is large and successful, as you can probably see, and has been so for a long time - our rules obviously work well. If you do something like post porn accidentally, that's your problem, not ours. You should have checked what you were posting. Simple as that, really. But as I said, each site needs their own rules. I know some forums that are fairly large and don't ban people at all unless they've done something really bad. They don't even really warn them - they just make fun of them and stuff. It works well for them, but if we did that here, we'd probably have a lot of members screaming at us about how abusive and egotistical and whatnot we are. Well, we get that anyway, but it'd be a lot worse. You'll find that with a board of this size that has it's forum staffers in the same social ring / circle of friends as the rest of the members, you can't put a foot wrong or be even slightly inconsistent without all your friends (and other members) giving you a good tell-off for it. If we had one-week bans and one-month bans as well as permabans, then everyone would analyse every ban we make, and we'd have a lot of people demanding that we unban certain people sooner rather than later and saying "This person got this long a ban, while this person only got this long a ban, this is not right, we hate you" and stuff. Permanent bans also mean people don't get away with doing something because "I felt like it, and hey, I'm only going to get banned for a month anyway."
So yeah, there are so many reasons why we don't offer short-term bans.
Now, as for second accounts: Unauthorised second accounts do always get banned. I'm pretty sure one of the admins went and banned all the unauthorised ones such as repo man and Other quite some time ago, so yeah. The difference between a normal member making a second account and a banned member making a second account is once the second account is banned by us, one of them doesn't have a first account to go back to.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
ACH DAMMIT.
I'M making a double account, JUST BECAUSE.
