Title: Greetings Theatregoers - Here are the rules of Alts
Post by: Statler & Waldorf on April 01, 2006, 04:09:57 PM
Statler: Greetings. I'm Statler.
Waldorf: And I'm Waldorf.
Statler: And it looks that, at long last, we've returned to Nutkinland. As everyone knows - we're an alternate account. If you know who's alt we are - good for you - but don't spoil the surprise for the new members, let them figure it out.
Waldof: It's not like it's hard to figure out.
Statler: Well, I for one think it's never wise to overestimate the intelligence of some folk around here.
Waldorf: :ahem:  Alts come in two basic categories - Punchline Alts
Statler: That's us
Waldorf: And PbP alts.  As you might guess the PbP Alts stick to the Play-by-Post area. That leaves alts like us, which are an annoyance to some posters
Statler: While a never ending source of joy for others.
Waldorf: If you want to make an alt then let the Nutkins know - All alts go into their own usergroup.  True users will be able to turn them off with a switch - effectively ignoring them all.
Statler: Before making an alt understand that it is very hard work to be constantly funny with new and interesting things to say.
Waldorf: If you say so since you fail to do that all the time.
Statler shoots a sidelong glance at Waldorf: Not going to get mad. Anyway keep in mind that alts are only good in moderation.
Waldorf: You'll see us only on rare occasion these days here and on Nothingland.  Maybe once a month, once a week at most.
Statler: Unless our owner gets drunk, then watch out.
Waldorf: One more thing - lame alts get banned. The Nutkins decide what's lame. That is all.

:ponder: So when Diaglo creates an account here does he get banned or become a Certified ALT?

I have been told by a begger from New Orleans that the switch to off the alts is in place and you'll find it in your thread view options page (User CP >> Edit Options >> Thread Viewing Options )

Or you can always just put each alt as it pops up on your ignore list.

No prob.  Plus it allows you to keep ones visible that you like, if any.
