Hello out there!

As most of you are aware, Iwaku only allows one account per person for both legal and safety reasons. Although this policy is laid out in our terms and rules, multiple accounts still happen due to things like forgotten login credentials or a user looking for a fresh start after a hiatus. Whatever the case may be, there is now a backlog of multiple accounts that need to be addressed. Instead of working through each case individually, staff is allowing users to come forward to resolve their multiple account issues without consequence.

Multiple accounts are resolved by merging the secondary account into the primary account. This means that whichever account you choose to keep will inherit the content of the account that is being merged. On your profile, the old username will appear under the 'previous usernames' tab. You also have the option to have your secondary account deleted.

Please click here if you have a multiple account that needs attention.
 
I've never understood the point of having more than one account

A lot of times people just forget their passwords, or they're gone for a year and don't want to bother with the old account. It's not too often that we have people deliberately making alts.
 
theres a site im on that i kind of have to have more then one account for since it has a limit on characters so i made an oc and danganronpa account i barely use and my encanto account im always active on but i think thats different but what do you mean "legal" reasons is there like a law that says something about it?

This only something we do here on Iwaku! So you don't need to worry about it on other sites, other sites likely have their own rules. :D But here, we only allow one account because we have both teens and adults and we want to keep track of age locked areas. That is the "legal reasons". We don't want people creating alt accounts to sneak into agelocked areas.

oooh that makes sense! thats also why you only tell them about the age locks after they have joined?

You know, I thought there was already some fast information about them before people join, but maybe I should look into that and add it. O_O It IS in our policies and public terms, but I guess most people don't read those before they register.
 
ah ok it might have been sorry if i hadnt seen it its also been a few days so i might have forgotten
