Last year we had a thread about this. Here.

GOG support was contacted and asked how they interpret the Code of Conduct.

"2. WE DON’T TOLERATE:
2.9. Creating multiple accounts (f.ex. for ban evasion);"

https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/16033977811613-GOG-Code-of-Conduct-effective-from-17-February-2024

GOG support answered that you can create and use multiple accounts for games and movies if you don't use them to break the GOG Code of Conduct.

Now there is something which needs to be addressed.

One specialist from the thread above started to use and create one account after another since then. Let's have a look.

MrKrabsWallet

Quantum_Quark

JacobSlatter

NotOfftopicRanker seems to be the new name? WTF? LOL!

Fark-9191932

FarkyTheDog1932

FarkyTheDog

The newest account in this bouquet is

FarklesDoggo

So... FarklesDoggo is the alt of FarkyTheDog which is the alt of FarkyTheDog1932 which is the alt of Fark-9191932 which is the alt of...

I have probably forgotten some accounts or there are even more which I don't know. If you know some other accounts you can report it here and I will add them to the list above. These are the accounts by one user.

Then there are a bunch of throwaway accounts. I guess everyone here has noticed strange 'new' accounts with interesting posts. Look at LeeKingHole's
post.

Or look at this thread.
Someone seems to have recycled an old throwaway account or whatever the heck is going on there.

There are more accounts like the ones from above.

It is a problem.

It is indeed a problem, but typically hard to enforce without harsh approaches; for example IP bans or keeping a serious eye on every user and building cases.

What proof do you have that all those accounts belong to one person? Just stating that they are so under the assumption everyone will agree with you is insufficient. I say if people who can collect a list of account names with common traits exist, then a person who can forge such an account also exists.

Even if it's true, is this person doing anything wrong? It's one thing to try to punish someone for a crime, and quite another to organize a witch hunt.

Look, the important thing is that we give into paranoia while also making sure that potential trolls get as much attention as possible. The rest will work itself... wait, are you one of THEM?!

Shit, I'm getting the frog out of here!

You have come to the realisation of the truth... all accounts are just alts of GamezRanker. Every interaction: each conversation, quarrel, moment of mirth... all were an elaborate fabrication of the almighty GamezRanker. Succumb or be eliminated.

The real problem is you seem to need to get a life, and that gog seems to be okay with stalking.

The funny thing is op is obsessed with people following the rules yet has broken the no stalking/no calling people out rules to make this thread. And all because they have an obsession with one user simply posting. I can't make this shit up, folks.

There is no escape from this forum. I learned that long long long ago.

This topic intrigues me.
For those of you with more than one forum account, why do you need more than one? Multiple Personality Disorder? Please enlighten me. I don't get it.

I'm lonely and have a crushed and fragile spirit. If no-one responds to my provocation and calls for help, I'll just respond to myself

Some might want to say certain unpopular yet allowed opinions (gaming/etc) while not wanting the comments associated with their main accounts, while others might use them because forums stalkers helped get their main accounts banned.

See these two rules in the code of conduct:
2.19. Use of language that is abusive, vulgar, hateful, defamatory, obscene, profane,
threatening, privacy-invasive, or law-violating;
2.21. Encouraging anyone to break these rules or any laws;

I would say that the original post is both defamatory as it lacks proof, and encourages others to participate in the slander. Tut-tut!
I don't get why one needs multiple accounts on here either. At least FarklesDoggo is a funny name.

I'd be happy with one name, but people like op (and more so staff with double standards) make that impossible.

I hope we don't need to discuss that Fark-9191932, FarkyTheDog1932, FarkyTheDog and FarklesDoggo belong to one person. This is VERY obvious.

I give a start. MrKrabsWallet is GamezRanker. He said it himself here

For the rest you can find stuff in this forum or just ask other users who have noticed the same. If they don't belong to GamezRanker then he can use his own account and correct me right here in this thread.

I haven't said these are yours. These are examples for the other throwaway accounts which appear here often.

They also likely posted as alt brutaltruth99 duroing their most recent ban. Then they complain about alts. Confusing!
