Ok. So I was just wondering what is wrong with having two accounts. I'm really not trying to argue and I don't want this to come over the wrong way. I legitimately want to know the answer. I'm very sorry if this appears to be rude or immature. Just looking for an answer. Thanks guys!

I don't know why you might want two accounts but one reason is to eliminate a lot of confusion of who belongs to which account. If I start a commerce deal with you but you answer as a different account name, it screams scam or at the very least very shady.
Having one account gives you a sort of online credibility (if that is even a thing) when it comes to any deals you start with other members and when you meet people face to face at events.
When the karma rating is really just for a joke, all you really have here is your account name and having two (in my book) just makes someone seem untrustworthy.
Lastly, if your account name is banned but your IP is not, you can still log on with the other account name. This is a great way to be permanently banned from MiA as you can continue with whatever behavior/posting/etc that got your other name banned.
Just stick with one account and if any family or friends want to join, tell them to create their own so nothing negative they possibly do/say is on your head.

If you are looking to create another account for karma, don't worry about it. Karma is pointless as anyone can just hit "smite" every hour (you can only do it every hour) like someone is currently doing to me.
Other than that, I don't see what the point is to having another account.

Well, I have siblings, and I saw one guy get banned because mods thought his bro's account was a duplicate.

What you can do is make sure that each account is completely different from each other to avoid confusion.
It would be better to have more than one account for commerce that way you can have your own review and your siblings can have their own to avoid any false pretenses.

That guy was banned because his ip address had about 5 accounts registered to it and every single one caused problems. We allowed him to make and keep one account and he never posted again. Conclusion: he was trolling.
We've had many siblings on here in the past do just fine. Just be aware that both of you need to be respectful or neither of you are going to be taken seriously.

You just cannot troll?

You just cannot troll? No, Phantom was saying that if the OP wanted a second account because of poor karma, not to worry about it. You can technically create a second account. If you have a need for it, you've probably done some thing wrong, and the administration probably won't look too highly on it.

That is what I had thought. When I read Phantom's statement, I wasn't exactly sure what was meant. I figured I would ask; Thanks for the clarification.

Phantom was responding to the OPs concern about having a sibling on MiA. He meant that each brother should create their own account.
Do not make duplicate accounts here. If we catch you, we IP ban you without question. The only reason to have a second account here is to cause trouble. We don't take too kindly to trouble.
