When the internet didn't have web browsers, I used to use network news groups, which were posts onto a common forum. Back then people used to use their own real email addresses (this was before SPAM was common).

As a result you used to get genuine posts as people knew that they had to stand up for anything they said, and if someone started posting garbage you could block them out and not read what they said.

Later when news groups became more common, people started posting rubbish under multiple IDs and a lot of groups just fell into disuse because of lame postings and SPAM.

This ruined these news groups from what used to be useful into a waste of time.

The reason I bring this up is that I think encouraging multiple IDs is going to cause the same issue. It would probably also give the moderators 10 times the amount of work to do.

What you are suggesting might work if people controlled themselves, but there would be some people that would just go for broke and useful posts would disappear.

youd end up biting youself on the foot. sending a bad post under the wrong member name and getting slammed as the wrong one f your many personalites.
might be better off just taking your pills to keep the MPD under contol.
. Ive been caught out when wifey forgot to log out and I switched on and automatically posted under her member name, then she gets stuck in
