    ya, so I have a brother, him and I share the same computer (sometimes). I told him not to create a account here because i could be banned, can he make a account here?

    I'd be handy if he could - you could get banned shortly as you have 6 infractions already ;)

    Well with all the infractions and red rep, could it just be you pretending to have a brother, to create a new account?

    As long as the account is for your brother and not for you it should be fine, however you could fall victim of multiple accounts.

    There are no rules which prevent your brother from joining.

    That's fine as long as they don't give each other i-trader feedback and bump one another's threads and stuff. :)

    But we have a fail safe method of detection. See the bar code under the DP logo? That's actually a retina scanning device. :cool:

    like sandhya and sudeep? :D:D

    but seriously, don't worry too much about siblings accounts. you won't be in trouble as long as you:

    1) notify mods
    2) don't abuse the privilege (like giving each other iTrader and bumping each other's threads)

    How bout sending pms on behalf of others?

    Plus @ crazy, does retina scan store the info on the same server as dp is hosted, cause i do not want my retina scan to be hacked and used to break into top security places. Can i get a copy of the scan plz ?

    My brother wanted another account, so I told him to just restart the router, clear the cookies etc before he logs on because we're on a dynamic IP.

    You've been posting for a total of 20 minutes and your brother already wants an account? Did you have another account here at DP previously or what?
