Interesting and simple method you described there. I thought it was much more complicated!
If it was on my way; i would remotely read hard disk ID bytes, or router ID or something simillar....
But than again, for what? Not a big deal after all.
I can understand need for multiplied nicks. Me personally, i would like to dissociate one part of my character here from another. One part is dealing mostly with tech stuff closely related to VLF and PI metal detectors. Other part can deal with everything else on this forum. This is advantage and not drawback, also shows how rich this forum turned to be. Many interesting, yet much different subjects. Also i dont want to be annoying to other members showing myself everywhere with same nick, same avatar, same font....
Already got few remarks on my way of posting here recently. So.... 2 nicks to have is not sin at all. Of course, as long as no harm, from those, done here.

To be honest, most of the forum controls are there to prevent spammers from entering the system, and to enable removal of them, and their posts, as easily as possible. We can also ban their IPs and email addresses, and disable their logins. This is all done to enable our members to have a more pleasant experience when visiting Geotech. The intention is not to act as forum police. In fact, the rules here are very relaxed compared to other forums; although occasionally there has to be a reminder of the rules. Incidently, no members have managed to get themselves banned so far this year, except those who have posted blatant spam.
Hopefully you have noticed that some recent changes, to prevent posting by unregistered users, has made a dramatic difference to the amount of spam being posted. Most spammers cannot be bothered to register, as it must be done by a human being, and their posts are usually removed within minutes, even before another member can click the "report this post" icon.
All we ask is that you follow these simple guidelines from DarthCarl:
- Be polite. Write messages as if you are standing in front of someone talking to them.
- Criticism should be relevant and constructive. If you disagree with something, state your case, and move on.
- Don't post copyrighted material
- I also ask that posts be written in English to maximize participation. If English is not your native language, just do the best you can.
