What area of New Blood are you suggesting this for?
ZS and maybe MB too?
What is your suggestion and how will it work?
Banning the use of Alternate Accounts
The method?; By making a register for alt accounts so when it detects a new account comes into zs or mb which has got the same ip address as someone else it can be ticked on the list as a alternate account and get banned off the servers, (not ip ban, just normal ban in general), unless if its a test account for the staff, then the staff can give the test server accounts a special role to bypass the register, however if theres a mix-up between accounts and the main account of someone gets banned then they need to contact the staff to sort it out and stuff
What are the advantages of your suggestion?
To end the recent on-going trend of experienced players making alternate accounts to troll people and annoy everyone and getting away with it or just act silently and said-annoy everyone, i mean, it started out being funny and its started to get old with everyone freaking out pointing at eachother to see whos the alt account, and also to note; it could maaaybe help stop hackers too? idk lmao
What are the disadvantages of your suggestion?
i don't know how this could change New Blood as a whole but, i do know that it could cause problems like it could ban someones main account due to the owner mostly harassing everyone in their alt, or something else like the register getting glitchy and later it gets fixed lol
note:
i could see people who troll on alts saying "OOO zOeY tHiS cOuLD bAn EvErYoNe!1!!1!1!1!" even though it won't happen and will never will, get back to your alternate account and cry about it
As was mentioned on Discord, there are a fair few reasons as to why people have alt accounts. Some for prestige, some for anonymity, some for fun. Creating a rule banning alt accounts would have to have some substantial reason behind it to explain why it would be a proportionate response. Issues such as trolling can fall under other rules, although I don't tend to see alts made to troll, and alts made for farming fall under the play fair rules. If someone is harassing other people under their alt, there are rules that cover that and if an alt is banned, so is the main account. Also, some alts are not actually alts? if we are working on the basis of same ip's then my brothers would be banned. I don't think we have an issue with alts to the point that banning them would be in any way a proportionate response.
