    Hey Mods,

    Just read the forum Rules..I know DP only allowes one account per person...

    I live in China..Most of Chinese people use Chinese Telecom Company..

    I found this as long as my PC restart,Then my IP changed every time,...For example,

    125.240.12.102
    125.241.209.03
    125.240.12.100
    125.241.209.61

    DP has lot of members....
    I want to know,
    If there is a person,We are live in the same city..
    He also has a DP account..Then I am afraid we have similar IP address to visit DP forum..

    Then I will get banned just for Duplicate Accounts??:confused:

    I am addicted to DP,I don't want to get a ban.

    I need your reply

    Thanks a ton

    We do not ban member only because of the IP match.

    What Katy said... if that were the case, you could just auto-ban people.

    Just don't do things that would make it seem like you are the same person (like bidding on each other's stuff... iTrader eachother, etc...)

    There are so many other factors besides ip address such as bumping each others threads,exchange itraders,exchange Reputations etc. we consider.

    DON.

    Yes, DP should verify bank accounts, social security numbers etc before allowing anyone to post! ;)

    Seriously though, if you're not doing anything shady, you shouldn't be worried about it.

    hi.

    i've got the situation when i need 2nd account... and +1 (3rd) account is already used from same ip address:

    I'm seo manager of the software company. It lists about 50 people stuff. And we all have common ip adress! (1 adsl modem for all). so here are my problems:
    1. my chief is also using DP from time to time.. so it's already may be considered as duplicate accounts.
    2. i'm beginning to work for myself simultaneously and i need to create personal/secured account for my own projects. (jdoght5 account is a work account) so it would be 3rd which i can open sometimes from office [same ip!]..

    Please, advice what is better to do in my situation..
    Thanks a lot.

    Duplicate accounts means not only same IP. They are considereing a lot of things. First think about a thread at Buy/Sell section. Multiple account holder can misuse it by thread bumping, posting fake reviews, itrade exchange, rep exchanges and fake bidding. If you have not done those things, don't worry.

    Good luck

    1. You need to PM a moderator with the other person's username so we can add usernotes. Then you need to make sure you stay out of each others' sales threads, don't exchange iTrader with each other, and don't exchange rep with each other.

    2. There are no personal vs business accounts. Everyone gets a single account on DP; not multiple identities to manage multiple business projects.
