Due to something in chat today, I wanted to purpose making a vote on alternate accounts.

Before I say anything, I want to mention that alternate accounts are different from sock puppet accounts since people will know that the alt account is the same person as the main account.

Now, some people have alts and want to keep said alts for whatever purpose (in case you lose an account, shared accounts, old accounts, name changes roleplay purposes, ect.) However, others have a problem with alts since they supposedly promote socks and are annoying. Since they are being banned in chat with no clear* rule being against them, I thought a vote should be made so we have a clear idea of whether to ban them or not.

I'm neutral, but that might change in the future.


 * When I say clear rule, I'm referring to the sock puppeting rule. It states that socks are people pretending to be 2+ people, when the incident in chat involved people who knew very well that certain users were the same people. And while I can't see it being twisted to also referring to alternate accounts, I could be wrong.
