General Awareness - Multiple User Accounts on Social Network Sites

It is quite easy for people to open 2 or more accounts on social forums to boost "credibility", but usually these are fairly easy to spot. Readers should always be aware of this when reading on social network sites.

I feel targeted by this post as my lovely mug appears twice on the members banner (lower right corner on homepage).  

Something went wrong when I first registered here, to do with the password, I think...  When I tried logging in a second time, the details apparently were not recognised.  One thing is sure: I could not access my account it once it was created.  So I did what I always do: try again.  And now I look like a fraud.  I know...  

Now I feel I must add that I am not Pink Panther everyday of the year.  So yes, I have another 'everyday profile', to protect my anonymity...  I regret to say that I will not change that, I will not bow down to any sanctimonious  finger-pointing, should there be any of that coming my way.

Good day to you all.
Tell It As It Is
"Sanctimonious" ......... what an excellent choice of word PP ...... spot on.

The giveaway of a "multiple user" is when after one ego posts then the alter egos are very quick to follow up with unconditional support and deference. Its happened many times in these threads.

Are you PP, then TIAII!? ;))

Edit: LOL did you know you can vote for yourself on this site?  Thumbs up for ...me!  A perfect forum in a perfect world, eh!
Tell It As It Is
Ha ha lol ........... no not PP.  Fancy starting a thread like this ....... I ask you?!?
Henry Hinactive
Well I'm me and just me and no one else - I don't have the time or energy to be 2 people - being 1 is hard enough!
Robin Finactive
Agreed Henry, some posts are quite interesting  but I don't think Anne is quite right  ;-)
Anne Vinactive
Neither did I, Robin, I was just jesting!  I think you would be a good Clouseau to our Pink Panther, though.... ;)
Clouseau: Now then, what do we know? One, that Pink Panther has two accounts and can only use one. Two, that Tell It As It Is approves of Pink Panther's choice of words. Three, that my hand is on fire. 
Pining Lass
Hmm I didn't know that either, but it doesn't bother me :-)
If someone is insecure enough to do what TIAII is suggesting then I feel sorry for them; unless they are doing it for a joke or to intentionally wind people up.

I agree with Henry H, it is exhausting enough to be me without having to remember who I am supposed to be at any given moment! Good heavens, fancy making life more complicated !. !. !.
Anne Vinactive
Ah, that's all very well coming from someone who has a life, but some people do not, hence the necessity to make up complications...  I'm exhausted just thinking about it! !.!.!.!.!  (good circumventing of the exclamation mark embargo, by the way ;))
