I have yet to see a duplicate account that hasn't ended in spamming.
Thats cause you banned mine before I could get the opportunity.

although i still don't get why screen names are such a huge deal and you can't sleep at night unless you have the one you want.
would you wear pink everyday of the week for 6 months

I'm with Kevin about the username thing, I had mind changed, and changed it to something I liked at the time, and was over with a week later, though, I did wait for 6 months before I changed it to its current. For the user to be able to change their username when they want to by making another account should be fine, if the other account is disabled. It get's more troublesome to the admins, and it has glitches with the cb profiles when admins are changing people's usernames.
I'm kind of on the fence on this issue, because I've used duplicate accounts for both reasons, one to anonymously voice my opinions about the site in feedback. And also to spam anonymously. But if better moderation of these duplicate accounts are taken, such as someone requests to an admin before one is made, then the admin accepts the request, dupes the current account and lets the user use their dupe, I wouldn't see the problem. I don't feel the same way if you let one user have full rights on their 20 different accounts though. One at a time please.

My cbspace isn't even set up, so regardless of the glitch, it would not effect me or anyone trying to contact me.
Ive have various reasons for changing usernames, but im not gonna share all of it. Ill treat you the same way I treat everyone else, if I like you, i like you, if your JCP, ill let you know you're an idiot. I tend to like feedback from people under anonymity even though its quite easy to guess who I am after about 2 posts. The thing is, like Rebs said, most people who spam usernames use it for spamming purposes. However, thats not what Im using it for. Guns kill people, but doesn't mean it should be outlawed.
