Topic: Adding a master account field to profiles. - page 2. (Read 725 times)
You can give a neutral trust to your alter account sothat anyone can know about your alter account and also adding personal text can be another way to mention your alter account and main account.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to link it to Jet Cash in the profile unless I start to use it.
Won't there be a conflict if there is such an option?If someone (scammer) creates new accounts or uses old account for linking with a high ranked user, it will create a conflict. Still the master account have to admit that s/he owns the account.
If there's a way to link two profiles into one master profile, the 'conflict' would be averted. A unique code from a master account could be extracted--and only the true owner of the account, of course will be able to access it--which could then be used to 'link' different accounts to the master. It is doable but I think would not be taken care of considering that not everyone in this forum would like their alt accounts exposed to the public.
You can instead use those blank fields to 'show' people that you're account is related to that one. The fields of ICQ, AIM, YIM don't even follow a certain format--it can be used for literally any text you could think of.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to link it to Jet Cash in the profile unless I start to use it. Perhaps the ICQ entry could be replaced by a primary account name. Does anyone still use ICQ?
What's your goal? I mean - you can put in personal text, or a trust rating saying it's your account - is there something else you want this "master" field to do?
I don't even know what is ICQ,AIM,YIM?
Welp. I feel old. Let's not even mention IRC and BBSes.

I don't even know what is ICQ,AIM,YIM? Maybe they were too much outdated for the current modern world.
They are out of date, but I think it shows the originality of the forum. And would give some a nostalgic feeling.
A futuristic technology displaying out dated ones, how ideal.
There is so much identity theft, and impersonation around at the moment, that I thought it best to block the use of the name.
Leaving a neutral trust rating on your alt account with your main account containing the message that it is your alt account would do the work I guess. That is what most of the people do to let others know about it. Maybe you can sign a message with your Bitcoin address that you use on your main account and put your trust rating comment in that signed message and then post it on your alt account to prove that it is actually your account and anyone else claiming to have control on it is simply falsifying.

I have a fairly good command of the English language.
And illegitimate could be used to refer to a dubious, illegal, against the law or spurious account.
A better way to put it would be acknowledged, or overt alt accounts and covert ones.

I've just been re-reading the alt account threads here, and it occurred to me that it could be useful to include a reference to a master account in the profiles of legitimate alts.
There is no such thing as an illegitimate alt account as multiple accounts is allowed in the forum.
For example, hilariousandco and hilariousetc
On the other hand, illegitimate alt accounts= Alt accounts used by different members which is not known to us/public.
OP has mentioned to add an option where there will be way to link up the main account.

And a rule breaker would be reprimanded irrespective of number of accounts.
And users create alts for different reasons, one of which could be to separate your identity from an opinion you might have. And enter discussions incognito.
You can always add a link to your primary account in your signature or personal text, if you deem it necessary.

I've just been re-reading the alt account threads here, and it occurred to me that it could be useful to include a reference to a master account in the profiles of legitimate alts. I use the name "Kuffy" on a variety of forums around the net, and I've just registered the name here as a protective measure. There is so much identity theft, and impersonation around at the moment, that I thought it best to block the use of the name. It is not my intention to use it for posting here.
You can block it. So it will be even more reliable. If it is implied that the account was created only to exclude the possibility of using the name. 
Even this forum has lot of altaccount for each persons I don't think they will come and expose themselves here.But anyway it will be better to have such feature.
Does anyone still use ICQ?
