The following new Forum Rule #10 has been added and is effective immediately: quote:
#10 - Except upon request and by prior approval by the Administrator, an individual can only register under one username as a member of Maritime SDA OnLine. Intentional infraction of this forum rule will result in the suspension or loss of posting rights.

Daryl, I don't understand, people are posting under different names, or they have soo many differnt things they do on soo many places on the computer pages or webs that things are getting confusing to you as well as them?

The rule is so that the same person will not purposely register more than once under different usernames. __________________________

Daryl This is a really good rule to have. I heartily applaud this one. As you know, I am a Moderator on another forum, and I am currently investigating a case where I suspect someone of registering under several different names. It can be a real problem, as most people who do this, have good reason to keep their real identity a "secret." Their posts are often volatile, argumentative, or other-wise disruptive to the given topic. [ December 05, 2001: Message edited by: DavidTBattler ]

I do not disagree with the basic rule. But, I will suggest that there are some vary valid reasons why one might post under a pen name. A SDA administrator might wish to speak freely without his statements being considered as an official Church statement. There are also other reasons that I could give. But, I will let it go with this one.

Unless I disable it, a person needs to only register once, and can change their display name any time as long as they don't pretend to be a different person.

Anyone who is broad in vision and narrow in purpose doesn't need to post under several different names.  Notice, in this rule Daryl also gave an option of discussing certain cases with the administrator. Does this mean that the "one name" idea could be waved in some exceptional circumstances?

That exclusion was under the previous version. With this upgrade and the display name ability, there will no longer be a need for any exclusions except in special cases relating to the Administrator and some, if not all, of the Moderators.

Why would the administrator or moderators use a disguised identity?

The purpose wasn't for disguised identities as much as it was for distinguishing between a moderator function and a member function, however, with the new upgrade that is no longer necessary. The only other reason now would be for mainly testing purposes by the Administrator. Also, another valid reason would be as was previously mentioned regarding any of the administration of the SDA Church. They would, however, need to first speak to me about an exclusion for them. Mark, I hope that answers your question The purpose is not to be in disguise to spy on anybody. __________________________
