Ready and willing.
Dude, pick an account and stick with it. This is just silly.

And Ekarderif wasn't completely perfectly spelled in the last one or two posts. Chanoire was.
o_O now this is going to become "how to i say these people's names" topic.

Nah, only abusing them. Mostly because checking everyone's IP is a real hassle, plus the vagarities of "that's not me, that's my brother!" Having conversations with yourself is considered abuse however.
so that means we can have multiple accounts? (*goes and creates NeoRidleyXI)

Basically, I consider multiple account abuse as owning and posting from more than one account. There is absolutely no reason to have multiple accounts that I can see, so if you are posting from more than one, that is abuse. Your second, third, fourth, etc. account(s) will be banned.

Why not all?

Well, from what I've seen, the admins here have only been banning/deleting multiple accounts. I personally feel, however, that all accounts should be banned.

Priceless when I paged down to the bottom and didn't see the posts before it. ^_^

And um... that's not what we're saying in the rules. Although I sort of made that call based on lazy. More importantly though IP matching is an inexact science; famously for me GreenMamba and Chet Rippo have an IP match. We already waffle enough when we get a match; making the punishment that much harder will make things that much worse.
So if I'm not mistaken. IP match shows that a computer is shared by two users, correct?

All it shows is that multiple users are posting from the  same computer.  Whether it's two people sharing a machine or one person sharing two users is unknown.
I thought the e-mail address was a total give-away. It's not very uncommon that someone has a brother with a different e-mail address to use the same computer.

But sometimes Someone has two accounts but the other one idles, like my friend Ace. But that's beside the point right now.

But I just thought of the possibility of someone having two computers and uses maybe a cousin's address to abstractly have two accounts o_O.

btw. there's a mosquito driving me  Evil or Very Mad right now

Or, a person could very, very easily just get a second email address and create another account on m2k2.
Don't do that.

It actually shows that those accounts have used the same IP address (and how many times that IP address has been used when a post was made). It's not an indication of people sharing the same PC as many 56k users share dynamic IP address pools, which many different people can have used over a period of time.

I've seen over 20 accounts (some of which admins, mods and other 56k members) posted off of one logged IP address.

If you're talking about 2 users say, from a static-ip address, then fair enough. But not everyone has a static IP address allocation. Not even on broadband...
I have a router that all of my computers run off of in my house save mine and my fathers, so me and him get static's.

If there is another 24.195.x.x IP, Its my friend Googs from town. Then again he doesnt like metroid and has ventured only once into IRC to send Houston a txt containing over 1000 MySpace usernames and passwords.

True story.
