bagatelle

Zeraph, I'm not worried about having multiple personalities. Can I not ask about things regardless? ;-)

It may be rare, but I was wondering, if it could actually happen, that a person would create an alternate account to one and same forum he/she already is, without knowing it, and would possibly interact with him/herself? I know it sounds a bit silly, now that I say it out loud.

There are cases, when people actually make alternates (knowingly), and use them to boost their other forum "persona", if they aren't getting attention enough or support to their opinions.

These alternates could be detected by forum staff, if the member doesn't know how to hide it.

I really don't have much knowledge about mental illnesses, and if I'm correct, a skitzophrenic person does not know anything about the other personalities, he/she has. So, it could happen that he/she makes another account to a forum, he/she is already in? This would likely be stopped by staff, if alternate accounts aren't allowed - they usually aren't - but the forumer would be puzzled why he/she is disallowed to forums, right?
