No this is not anti alias or pro alias. This is my rant against myself using the wrong alias! I understand TERs ruling of not posting with multiple aliases in the same thread, but sometimes it is hard on long threads that go on for hours or days. I have posted on several threads using an alias, then several hours later and many posts down on a long thread see something I want to reply to, and I use a different alias or my real handle by mistake. (forgetting I already posted on that thread earlier) LP has had to pull several of my posts because of that, and I owe him a beer each time it happens and now he is accusing me of trying to destroy his liver! How do ye of many aliases (guys like inicky and the drunk asian dude and various others) remember to use the correct alias? Of course guys like Mikey don't have to worry about that
Maybe a total of 4~5 times that I can recall, maybe more if there were that I didn't catch. I immediately PMed them mods and they either whacked it mercilessly or corrected it to the right one.
I'm still hoping for the day that TER puts a simple code fix so that it becomes fool proof, where the alias selection menu automatically selects the one you already used on that thread. With the staff and resource at their disposal, I sort of having difficulty believing that it's still not here yet...
As to how I remember: I pay close attention to what I started with and try not to break the rules. It's harder on a mobile device because the fonts are so small and can't see the whole thread on the screen. A combination of utilizing peripheral vision, attention to detail, but mostly not wishing to get banned or kicked off for breaking the rules. lol
ps i wonder if anyone can guess how many aliases I have. Free beer to the first dude that can guess it right. lol
But it's totally possible that I lost count somewhere along the way, and yes I cheated. I also fuck up with the alias thing occasionally but I have to key to fixing it, or unmoderating myself after getting caught.
If you have 450 aliases, I guess we haven't seen most of them. Besides, how many variations of SomeDrunkenAsian can there possibly be? I just counted mine and came up with 207. Most of them have not seen the light of day. Back to the drawing board
Also on this board, I'm no longer using a majority of the "stupid drunk" aliases like "blo wingchunks" "absolute shitfaced" anymore (even though those two were my favorite for a while...) so that I dont annoy certain folks who expressed "concern"... apparently for my health and safety. Lol
So I had to create some new and more creative ones that don't fall under stupid-drunk category.... and I'm "future ready" lmao
You need to explore creative ways to explore "certain areas" of concern to the mods. For example, I created one called MP67sLiver. If you recall his first post it was just "uncle."
it were permiteed to use several aliases in a thread as long as they don't talk to each other. like when i've already started and someone has a new post that would be just perfect for a reply by a different alias than one i've already used.
i have occasionaly screwed up but usually remember.
I DON'T!. I have fucked up more times than I can count, for the same reasons you cite. Gambler and LP have warned me multiple times, pulled my posts, and even moderated me. I am somewhat better but not perfect. The only reason I'm not moderated right now is because the mods know I don't do it intentionally or harmfully, and that I really try not to do it at all. You will probably do better over time, unless LP runs out of beer.
I feel your pain however. More than once I've had too PM and offer contrition to the moderator shortly after realizing my unintentional blasphemy against their doctrine.
I won't say what LP says I gotta do for him for every time I double-aliases a post. But I have heard that GaGa has started a pool with a $1000 per pick over it and says he will film it as proof.
