Hey Everyone,
The community guidelines have been updated with the following rules:
Making Multiple Accounts:
Creating multiple accounts without permission is NOT allowed. Depending on the severity of the situation, anyone who is caught doing this will receive punishment, which may include raised warning level, mod preview, disabled posting, or a banned account. All duplicate accounts will immediately be disabled.
what if you're posting on the multiple accounts you've already made? is that acceptable?
Any multiple accounts made from this day on will have the punishment above.
Although if you are causing havoc or abusing your other accounts they will be deleted.
personally i think that we should give the multiple account users a choice of which one account they'd like to keep and then delete the rest. (unless they have a good reason to have a second or third account) We're not exactly punishing them for breaking a rule that we just created - we're just making everything conform to the guidelines.
Can you transfer all of the posts from my other accounts to this one. So my post count can go up?
How was that member bashing? You assume I was talking about Jeanna in my post. Quit assuming. For all you know I meant posting pics of penises are better than posting halfass pictures. I'll state whatever the hell I want. Get outta here.
Tung this is my topic, its more or less you get out of my topic. If you have nothing to contribute what this topic was made for then don't reply at all. We can take this to the PM I already sent you if you have something further to say.
how is it gonna be a hassle?
I guess Jeanna went to the superiors and ratted me out huh? How lame. Just like how Jeanna been sucking on her momma's titties for money, and can't argue for shit in the Money, Money, Money thread, she has to suck on the superiors titties. I don't know about you, but do you realize there are much more bashing in the Cute/Hot Girl thread, and Member's photos, than me alone? Don't target me, because I'm an easy target to pick on. I'm not going to snitch on other people who been constantly bashing other people, because I don't play that game. Fine, I'll take the fall for EVERYONE for member bashing the past two weeks. Kay. End.
Alright thank you Tung for being the bigger person.
Trish, because to search all the names and then to delete them is by far time consuming. If others really feel the need that they need their accounts deleted because they can't possibly help themselves from signing in on them, then fine. Leave all your multiple user names here and I'll be more than happy to delete the accounts.
how about instead of taking action when they "abuse" their secondary accounts, we take action if we catch them using them at all from this point on?
basically, no ones allowed to post on any secondary accounts if they dont have a good reason to have those accounts in the first place.
Are.you.KIDDING?
No I am not.
That whole account thing is seriously the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Well personally I rather not go through another situation like Amber, or Liana, or anyone else that feels the need to make another account to look like a idiot on the internet.
Wow, I'm glad we care about how dumb someone makes their own self look.
most of the time people get on their secondary accounts to post what you would complain as being pointless topics in the lounge, so you should really be happy.
we arent prohibiting secondary accounts; we're just asking for a good reason to have one.
I don't recall complaining about topics, or people using secondary accounts for that matter.
In which we have come to the conclusion that most of the time there isn't one
Please forgive me for going against the Holocracy.
I'm sorry. Let me edit that.
I don't mind multiple accounts unless you're Amber, Liana, or nqgosihddbnskgjbd
Why should 2-3 people affect the whole community?
with this whole rating thing, we were trying to give the OM's another perk. Since the staff and the members seem to never be in agreement about what's spam and what isn't spam, we thought it would be best to leave it up to the community (or rather, the official members) from now on.
i see no reason why anyone should be complaining about it.
Trish, I don't care about the rating thing.
well f**kin ladidah.
Good point.
thanks, i try.
Your effort is apparent.
and greatly appreciated, i know.
Only sometimes. I don't see you enough anymore to actually pay attention.
i know, i haven't been in the community center a lot since i got promoted. other than that, i've been busy outside of cb.
i shall devote more time to off topic discussion!
edit://it occurs to me now that the rating topic is actually in the forum reorganization thread. not this one. great.
That wasn't the point. I'm never really here anymore, nor do I care where you do and don't post.
so why do you care about multiple accounts? ah hah.
Why did you used to have multiple accounts?
have i posted on any recently?
im considering dragging advice abby out of the grave, but i think jusun changed the pw so other mods could use it.
edit:// and i asked you first.
Definitely not the account I was talking about.
Besides, has anyone besides like 3 people caused trouble on multiple accounts? No.
3 is enough when you think of the handful of people that are actually active enough to give a shit.
No, 3 is enough for you guys to think that there needs to be a call-to-action because you haven't had enough to bitch about.
Why don't we make a poll to see if we should even have this mutliple accounts rule?
Sorry if that's what you think :]
Another reason would be because it's hard to enforce other/older rules on members who have multiple accounts. Should they get warnings on all three or four of their accounts, or just the account used in the action?
An easy way to avoid this is to prohibit the use of multiple accounts all together.
i asked you first.
Because I think you're just pulling rules out of your ass. I shouldn't have to ASK if I can have another account.
Mother, may I?
Yes, you may.
Actually there is a rule in either terms of service or the old community guidelines about using multiple accounts as a way to circumvent suspensions, bans, or warnings - which is (most of the time) why people make the acconts. so they can spam and shit while their primary accounts are out of the crossfire.
so we didnt pull it out of our collective ass.
And I care because it's not like users with multiple accounts never post in the resource center forums. there have been plenty of examples where multiple account users HAVE posted in the showcase booth or elsewhere in the RC.
So why should I be punished for the actions of others? Who says that I'm going to get suspended and use another account to get around it? Not everyone commits the same crime. It should only be for those with a warning. The end.
I believe I stated that some users use multiple accounts as a way to PREVENT from getting their primary accounts suspended or warned.
You aren't being punished... if you have a good reason to use a second account, then we certainly won't stop you from creating one.
There are many forums on the internet that basically automatically reject registrations if the IP or email address has been used on an existing account.
This really isnt that bad. I still don't know why you bother complaining about it.
Because we know you'll respond.
and if we dont respond, we get persecuted for ignoring complaints. how lovely.
at least when i have something to bitch about, i have a reason to bitch about it. im disappointed in you, sir.
PMS is not a valid reason, ma'am.
Lovely.
Well, if you have nothing else to say, I'll continue f**king your mom now, thanks.
Spencer, I'm really sorry that you find all these changes to be negative. We only have the best intentions for createblog as a whole. We aren't keeping you away from doing your normal routine on createblog.
None of these rules are going to be changed, I'm sorry if that makes any of you upset in any way shape or form but their not being changed. They have been discussed for a while now between the staff and everyone that posted said they looked fine, and I asked for their opinions or any opposing thoughts and nothing was said to that extent.
Multiple accounts has been a problem for a while, their not needed if their only going to cause problems. Hey if you want another account and have a good reason for it, then contact a mod and tell them. Simple as pie. If they think your reasoning is good then you can make your other account.
Why do people think that involving someone's mom is means of getting personal? You can talk about how you fucked my mom alllllllll day and I still won't care.
Okay :]
Edit://
Honestly I don't care. If you want answers to legitimate quetions, I'm obligated to be here for you. If you want to start shit for the hell of it, then who am I (specifically) to say "Hey, cut that shit out?" I've started as much shit as you in my day, so I'm no one to speak. But don't think I'm going to keep my mouth shut either.
You're ever so welcome Spencer Have fun with that new account that Elba approved.
No, it was to Trish. Apparently saying you fucked my mom is offensive.
it wasn't meant to be all that offensive, honestly Spencer.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

I was about to say something, but it looks like things were cleared up. ;]
><
GAAAHHH!! Things are becoming way too strict around here. I've never been a fan about this new multiple account thing but it seems like most mods are so, we'll see?
Getting banned for creating another account? I don't just get it.
I guess Jeanna went to the superiors and ratted me out huh? How lame. Just like how Jeanna been sucking on her momma's titties for money, and can't argue for shit in the Money, Money, Money thread, she has to suck on the superiors titties.

Hey Tung, we get it.
sandra: it might have helped if you voiced your opinion when holly asked for it.
Read JC's thread backstage.
Edit// Just for the record, I did voice my opinion. I actually remember having this discussion with you, Trish, backstage.
It's apparent we should worry more about attendance than 3 people using multiple accounts.
This is a prime example of "abusing" your second accounts
http://aycu10.webshots.com/image/37609/2000047803712050378_rs.jpg
tung - what's the deal with the multiple accounts. if u have a good reason for having multiple ones, i'm all for hearing u out. i just don't understand the point of them.
understood, and i hope ur other posts aren't spam and holly can add them the count. i think that sounds like a fair compromise.
i don't think the community in general is very effected by this new rule though, or at least i can't see how, not negatively at least.
2 or 3 people should effect the community because it's called learning from our mistakes... preventing a bad thing from happening again.
how that's not totally obvious is beyond me.
How it's not obvious that you are totally pulling the same things Suzzette pulled are totally beyond me as well, but I guess that's part of the learning process you guys happen to be going through.
how is this in any shape or form like what suzzette did? this was a collective decision. we listened to everyones opinion. we respect yours. but there IS an overwhelming majority of members (remember that you are the only one other than sandra voicing your disapproval of the new rules) who complained about multiple account users and pointless topics.
and josh has reminded me that it was more than 3 people abusing their multiple accounts.
refer to the other thread.
Rule, Trish. Disapproval of the new rule. I don't think it's the end of the world, but I don't see how lenient it is. Ah whatever.
nvm this post. Couldn't resist. ><
how is it not lenient? if you WANT a multiple account, you can ASK for it.
let me repeat myself. MOST other forums prevent you from creating multiple accounts if at the time of your registration, your IP or email address matches an existing account's.
at least we're giving you a CHANCE.
cB ISN'T most of the other forums! It's cB! I remember people giving me a hard time for closing ONE topic yet choose to make a rule about multiple accounts?
im pretty sure in the beginning, cb did the same thing,and somewhere along the line, jusun disabled that feature.
sandra, if you have anything else to say, say it backstage. the things i want to say to you have references to other backstage threads.
I'll stop checking this thread. I apologize.
Keep it public imo.
They can't because then we could somehow find a way to insert our opinions, and that's just unacceptable.
um no i just dont want to leak backstage info, so maybe you should just calm down for a second there.
yknow at least when josh and i bitched about something, we listened to both sides and offered better solutions if we disagreed. you're just being a little bitch.
Damn Spencer, Trish just putted you on blast. You better redeem yourself.
Just because you listened to both sides doesn't mean it affected your decision. You still bitched about it in the end, no?
Good point. But Holly hasn't replied yet. Wait for it..wait for it..
no actually there were a few times where i conceded.
i feel that giving OMs the opportunity to rate topics is just undermining the Mods. Mods should know better when to close/move/reopen topics.
Yanlin, I'm not sure if you knew about the rule that if you make another account to avoid punishment you lose your other account and you can actually get a far worse punishment
Yes because she decided to post porn everywhere, that was her choice. Your not allowed to make other accounts to avoid your punishment. You have to live through them. I don't think her being on mod preview is a big problem. We accept her posts pretty fast and if its not fast enough then she should have thought before posting the porn.
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.
Ohh, my e-feelings are hurt. Kiss my e-booboo mommy.
And I've yet to see a valid reason as to why other people should have to ask to make an account if they do nothing wrong.
because there have been several examples of people making multiple accounts and doing something wrong. thats why.
and if we want to stop those specific people in the future, we cant just delete their accounts or deal with them one by one without there being a RULE about it.
do you plan on making another account? why do you care so much? honestly.
i love that definition of spam.
so how's that working out?
personally, i think spam-hunting is a pretty good way to kill a site. Well except for the layouts section. That could do with a bit of spamhunting.
let me rephrase.
spam hunting wold be a great way to kill the community center.
the rules for spam havent even changed all that much; and we've been doing great, thanks.
Because spam hasn't been enforced in the CC.
I'm tired of seeing Steven's name at the top.
change is good =p
What if you want to delete an account that was already created...
because i got an account that was created a long time ago since Apr 15, 2007, a little after my default one and i want to delete it now. http://teser.createblog.com
Member Titles
Member titles now have a character limit of 30 characters per line. This means that you must include a space for every 30 characters of your member title so that it will wrap appropriately and not stretch out the forum.
Anyone found intentionally stretching out the board with their member titles will be verbally warned, warned, or suspended.
^ Lol. Should just call it the Tung Rule. Haha.
not if he were to post a codebox, or a pic. it limits the amount of space he can use for his posts until they stretch out the whole board. not to mention it just looks ugly anyway. why do you think there's a maximum height and width for avatars? its all the same thing.
lols, i knew something like this would happen. Technically it wasn't actually stretching the boards, it was just making his posts stick out even more than average.
O RLY.
