Should ET limit users to one screen name?

Predictable response fully lacking in creativity, wit, intelligence and common sense.

I wondered what troll would be the first with such a "snappy" response, no suprise it turned out to be you.

if that were the case, then you wouldn't be able to post.

Quote from ARogueTrader:

Rather than limit screen names, why not limit posting on ET by IQ rankings?

That would certainly kill the troll's habit of overposting.

Or we could give sobriety tests.

A liberal that actually wants to violate someone's first amendment rights. Interesting. I don't want to suppress free speech. I just want to limit screen names to one per person.

Of course then ART would not have anyone to respond to his threads, but I think we could all live with that.
 
What prevents paying members from being trolls?

What prevents paying members from having multiple handles?

Money doesn't buy class, just look at Donald Trump.

Some of the biggerst A-holes are wealthy.

All users would be restricted to one screen name per person. That is how you prevent the trolls.

Don't you know that is what makes these numbers even more convincing. The fact that one guy and all 12 of his aliases voted for number one and yet options 3 and 4 are still holding tight. Only makes the argument better.

Yes.

You have a point.

I have been frequenting this board since late 99 / early 00 and have gone through over 10 handles during that time, but I don't use "multiple aliases" at one time -- I simply change my handle is all and have been using the same sign off since I first came here, which makes it pretty easy for people who have been around here for awhile to know who I am. I don't do this to hide anything, as I am one of the few here who has openly given out his first and last name on this board, but simply because my existing handles grow "stale" over time and I want to switch them up.

I agree that it is pretty lame to use multiple aliases simultaneously, especially when brought on by some agenda or motive to do so.

But lets not forget that this is an Anonymous message board people. I'd say that less than 2% of the posters that come here reveal their names, and more than likely should not, so I don't see what the big deal is with this issue. Content is the object of the project, and not what anonymous person is saying it.

PEACE,
Commisso
