1.4 Sock Accounts, Virtual Private Networks and Virtual Machines

As a member, you agree to register and maintain one account only. Multiple accounts are not allowed unless under circumstances requesting approval by the Admod Team & PT for Vis-Ed. Sock accounts created outside of this process will be subject to merging or deactivation. Members discovered to have multiple accounts may be issued with official warnings or banned from the forum. Furthermore, the following shall also apply to sock accounts: should any member account be used to flame, bully, antagonize, insult, threaten, stalk or harass the members/staff of the site, the account holder will be subject to discipline potentially leading up to banning and informing the user's ISP and/or the proper authorities as the law permits.

Blatant abuse of Virtual Private Networks, Virtual Machine or otherwise use of technologies, not considered as typical computer security use, that hide a members Device, or IP will not be tolerated. Virtual Private Networks and Virtual Machines are used to hide the identity and activity of the poster. This is done by many spambots, trolls, and sock puppet accounts.
