    Re: Delete Alternative Accounts

    We should NOT transfer stats.

    You wanna change accounts then that's your decision.

    What we SHOULD have is the ability to delete accounts.

    EDIT: Delete them by an option in the User CP that would send a verification e-mail to your registered account and then contain a link to delete.

      The problem is that people use both of their accounts, possibly because they are mentally ill.

        what

        I use one account on other computers, partially for security reasons and partially so I don't have to mark all threads as viewed if I can't guarantee that I'll be able to read all of the new posts.

        All of my other alts are for jokes or a few for ban evasion, but I think that account got banned or something. Oh wait... I still have AfricanLegume which never got banned, even though I'm pretty sure I probably evaded on it.

        1.2 million members is an impressive number, though it may not be entirely true.
        Except that most people only have one account and there are probably less than 20 of us who have 5+ accounts.

            3, one's PMS though. Keep PMS accounts, and I'm good with this. The other one, Cruella, I could care less about. This and my PMS account are the only ones I care about.

            When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

              Yeah I agree with keeping PMS accounts

              Also afrobean, what security reasons and SO many people have alts. Once I hated my name (current) so I made one called BladeSymphony but when I transfured my credits they got put back in this account. This was like 1.7 years ago. I can gerantee at least half the people on FFR had an alt or sombody had more than one alt to make up for one person.

Some might say 'well I want people to know I'm in an FFR clan'. WHO CARES, nobody is going to go 'Wow your in <insert clan name here>'. FFR clans in the first place have no point IMO. I doubt we have 1'000'000 members due to inactive users and tons of alternative accounts. We should seriously DELETE alt/clan accounts and move all their credits changed to their main account aswell as their stats.


                EDIT: If you have one tell me how this benifits you or how creating alts is exiting. (If you think its exiting go here or here.
                I will stay out of this debate but I must MUST make it clear that there is no such thing as a "retart".. It's "retard" as in "Mental Retardation".

                    Re: Delete Alternative Accounts

                    I support the idea of sandwiching accounts even though I do not have alternate accounts with any stats on them worth transfering. It messes with the stats. It makes things more inaccurate than they already are.

                      I made a new account when I tried playing index, to see the ranks I got using index.

                            I've got like 100 alternate accounts, and I've used them for all kinds of things. I've used many for 1mil get; to up the rating of 1mil get, or other threads, or to vote in polls more than once; so I can actually find someone to play in MP when no high level people are around, to test stuff trying to get tokens or whatever when they said it could be by playing songs in a certain order, so I'd boo out of all the TGWP in order on another account, so I wouldn't lose the points on my main one; for getting booflags on songs with over 200 AAAs so I could tell how many AAAs they had, and now that's all stored in its level rank stats, which would help tremendously if anyone wished to update that thread; and many other things.

                              What security reasons?

                              How about not wanting someone to **** up my 03 account if I happen to be posting from a computer with a keylogger on it or something. A bit paranoid of me, I'm sure, and in fact, there are times when I didn't worry about it, but regardless I like to be safe, especially since everyone knows "Afrombean" is me and the only thing I lose out on by using that account is not having as many posts on my main (because I don't have enough already, right?).

                              All of my other ones were made for forum jokes or ban evades. If all of my accounts were forcibly combined, there would be many threads in which I would be posting as "Afrobean" and it wouldn't make any sense, when before, the post was by "White_Ranger" or "Baby_Jesus", or, in fact, my current "main" alt, "Afrombean".
