in thread For PM gods only

The only real reason I can think of is we now have an individual with posts under two accounts, something usually associated with the gods. And if he sticks around as Shaka_Flex then we are depriving new Monks the benefit of seeing all of his nodes (such as the heavily downvoted ones that apparently show his true character). If there was a way to link the accounts -- something like "by Shaka_Flex (posted as SFLEX)" -- then that would be great, especially since he would not be able to edit his old SFLEX nodes. Anyway, that's the only reason I can think of.

Personally, I wish Shaka_Flex would see this as an opportunity to start over with a clean slate but it sounds like it will take a few more years for him to mature to that level.... Such a waste. :-(

    Site Rules Governing User Accounts explicitly allows that to any ordinary user under the condition that they tell the gods. I know of ordinary users who post under two accounts (even I have an alternate account for it allows me to test whether it's my user settings that's broken something). It's quite possible that there are lots of people that post under multiple account, only they don't need to reveal that, whereas gods do reveal the connection between their normal and godly accounts. In fact, the gods also have not completely public extra accounts too, eg. it's not completely obvious who's behind

    I, and, paco (I'm not claiming all three of these are gods' alternate accoutns, but at least some of them are)

    Is that him posting under $h4X4_|=73}{ as well? I thought Monks were normally supposed to have only one active account?
