Re: RE: Another ID from a same person in a forum...
, for example,Kathy's original ID in this forum is "ABC", after several days she registered another one named "BCD" ,now "BCD" is her second ID in this forum.I was just curious if one person have more than one IDs in a forum, how to call these IDs other than the original one? Do such kind of IDs have a special name?

On past sites Ive administrated on I allowed other Admin and mods to have a second ID so they didnt feel "on duty" at all times. Also "play" ID's were allowed like "GuestWithAnAttitude" something like that. It wasnt harmful and we all got a kick. In special circumstances where someone felt attached I would allow a second name as long as I and my team knew who it was. It was a very large board over 5000 members so as long as people were civil it was imposible to tell if an ID was doubled by the same user.

If no one has more that one ID, why should we seek one more word for something that does not exist.
surprisingly, I didn't know that anyone has more that one ID. If you don't have a tool you don't need to name it.starry said:It seems hard to explaindekhqonbacha said:

No,I don't have any intention to do this, I just asked a question and wanted to know how to call such kind of IDs in English, cause in other language they are definitely have a uniform name like alias ,forum vest, mask and carapace.

I see,maybe it doesn't exist in English, just like you said,nobody will register more than one IDs in English forum.

that's my point of view. You can take it into considiration but it's you who decides for you.
