When trying to log in a few days ago, it seems I accidentally created another account – “niscendutioner”. I thought I cancelled the creation by just closing the browser, before adding an email or setting up a rank, but apparently not. Can the account be deleted? If not, I suppose I can eventually use it as an alternate account. Then please change the user name to “emendar”.
Accounts can’t be deleted, but I’m sure a mod will stop by and change your account name. OGS seems pretty open to multiple accounts as long as you’re not abusing it in some way.
I would argue that it is too easy to create an account by accident. On the log-in page, simply mistyping your user name, typing in your password and pressing enter will create a new account – with no way to cancel this process or remove the account afterwards. It has happened to me again since I created this topic.
Anyway, I would still like to have “niscendutioner” changed to “emendar”. I will post from that account as well.
Oh, I have no idea why your opening post has evaded our attention — this is the first time I see it, and I get notifications for all posts/comments in this section
Anyway, which of the two accounts you are using in this thread do you want changed now?
Questions over questions …
p.s: I have set my browsers to save cookies for this site (and also to remember my password for OGS), so I never need to log in, maybe this could be an option for you?
Don’t you find it a bit odd to reply with this account?
<edit> I appreciate, though, that you make no attempts to hide your split personality there have been others who liked to create Sock Puppets, which sometimes are a PITA, as you can imagine. </edit>
It seemed like a fun thing to do. Just wait until I start having entire conversations with myself on here!
(However, it was mostly because my posts from the emendar account seem to get flagged as spam – likely automatically because it’s a fresh account without any games played.)
Yes, because several posts by different users but the same IP number.
I must say, though, that I don’t totally agree to the “fun thing” here … it can be used to deceive people, and now I know that I’ll probably better not leave comments and variations in the Malkovich log whenever I play one of your several accounts here It’s okay OTOH (and IMO) if just used, for example, for playing intoxicated (or tired, or whatever), which is why OGS allows users to have a certain number of accounts.
That is a fair concern when facing someone with multiple accounts.
Mind you, though, I never wanted a second account to begin with. I created it by accident and could not get rid of it, so now I had the user name changed away from consisting of my current user name and – oh dear – part of a password. I don’t intend to use it at all, I’m quite content with the account I have. But yes, perhaps I will eventually find a use for it – perhaps for lightning games or a fresh start at some point.
