New/Old Accounts- what to do?

[Paddy]

This must be quite a common scenario...

1. A few domainers are chipping in some funds together to buy names under a new entity/brand name

2. Naturally, they want to open new accounts at the DN forums using the new entity in order to market and sell the names, and at the same time, also keep their personal accounts which have been around for some time (and in case the new entity doesnt work out for whatever reason).

3. The rules mention that users are not allowed 2 accounts. Is this fixed in stone or is it ok to have 2 as long as the Admin is properly informed?

4. If it's not ok to have 2- does the old account have to closed or can it be dormant while the new account is used?

Appreciate if anyone can share any insights. Thanks.

Your NamePros account may not be transferred or sold to another party. Duplicate accounts are not permitted. If you need to change your username, please contact a staff member.

from what I understand all rules are to be followed and one can only change their username by contacting a staff member. If they allow one to hold 2 accounts, then they need to allow all, what a chaos it would be.

Thanks for your thoughtful response Weblord. I agree that having 2 accounts or double standards will be chaotic for any forum.

The source of the question lies in... what should one do if they already have a NP account but get involved in a new venture (selling domains) and want to use the new entity's name to (correctly) represent the sale accurately in any subsequent forum posting.

One account per person - end of the line. Feel free to buy a username change here:

Partnerships like that are common, but requests for a new account to operate under are not. We would request that someone from within the group be given charge to represent it and be responsible for it under their own identity

That is what sigs are for or your Line under your name could rep the site.
