Just to let you know I've added the following to the COD:

Posting as Two Different People, Pretending You Are Two People
As well as being very silly, this practice is dishonest and will instantly result in a complete lack of trust amongst other board members. If you lose your membership details or need to change to a new account name then fair enough, just make sure we all know you are the poster formerly known as... But please do not continue to post under two different names.

In case you didn't know all the Sweepers/Moderators can view the ip address that you post from, the information given also includes other users that have posted from the same ip.
Now obviously some people are going to have the same ip because they live in the same house or street, or work on the same bank of computers etc. But it does raise suspicions when two new people join and anounce themselves as seperate people without indicating any connection between the two, which is why I posted this:

Not as an accusation exactly, but just as a chance for NobbyNobbsJr and/or wannabenanny to confirm the situation.
Now there's nothing wrong with two family members/friends or what have you posting seperately, but we have had troubles in the past with someone pretending to be two people and causing a bit of angst with it when it became public knowledge. So we do prefer that people stick to the one personality please.
If NobbyNobbsJr and wannabenanny are two people then fine, if you are the same person we might let you off for being new if you admit it and stick to the one account? Though neither has posted sinse I posted my message, so they might have scarpered.
On a similar note, it would be nice if Human could explain donna_troy, who I sent a PM to and who cunningly didn't read it (my own fault for titling it 'you and Human') and decided not to post any further messages? Human is still posting I think, but nevertheless I think the same should apply to you - i.e. we can let you off if you were posting twice, as you stopped right away and there was no proper rule for it in the past... or perhaps donna_troy is your sister or something and didn't want anyone to know?
