I'd like to have a discussion about 'multiple characters'.
The topic has come up a few times, mostly in relation
to downvoting, but I can't remember a discussion devoted
to it.
Personally, I would rather not see multiple characters
because I see this as a discussion where you shouldn't
need multiple logins to express your different sides.
I want to feel that I'm communicating with a person
not a MUD character--although with a single login a
person can, of course, present a facade.
As has been mentioned other times,
multiple logins come with the potential of abusing the
voting system. With talk of priviledges such as
document editing coming with rank, that translates into
a real ability to affect the site.
Of course there would be no real way to enforce a ban
on multiple logins, but as there's no way to enforce any
of the other things being discussed that's hardly a reason
not to bring it up. It's just a thought on how I'd like
things to be, mostly from the social aspect.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
