Is there anything in the terms and conditions forbidding the registration of multiple accounts? I see some language that could be construed as such but maybe it's time to update the T&C's with better guidance around signing up new accounts?
How many accounts is considered abuse? Is running multiple niche focused accounts considered abuse? Maybe I'm blind but the policies on account signup don't seem crystal clear to me and I've seen use of multiple accounts being openly talked about on Steemit.chat as being common practice.
At the blockchain level there are no such rules. In terms of web signups of free accounts being given away by Steemit Inc, there can certainly be such rules but the bigger issue is actually enforcing them. Dan's comment about adding a CAPTCHA to deter abuse was one step but clearly there are still many that are being created.
Yeah, it's the free accounts funded by Steemit Inc I'm referring to. There seems to be a little haze around the rules of having multiple accounts and any ramifications that could bring in the future.
