So, with that in mind, I would like to ask: Why do you alt post? Or, if you main-post, why do you think others alt post?
Is it paranoia? Or, in more nasty terms, cowardice? Is in-game retribution for forum actions really that prevalent? Is the risk of some people not liking you that high? Or is it something else?
Discuss. (Sorry, couldn't help myself)
I post with an alt to keep my main from being ganked by people i might offend by expressing my views in forums. It happend to my main before so i'm more careful now. |

I don't alt anything. I specialize and focus. I have all my SP focused in forum warrior skills and specialize in posting.

I post with my main in hopes of attracting in-game gankers. Not one, so far. Lots of threats, though. Official Recruiter for GoonSwarm Corporation.
If you paid isk to get into GoonSwarm, you were probably scammed.-á If you had the foresight to save the name of your scammer, let me know and I'll do what I can to help you. |

Its just a bit of a shame that the social consequences of being an unpopular large alliance no longer lead to plenty of defensive allies through the Inferno 1.0 wardec system.
I received perma-war from the Swarm for basically being their most hated player in the game bar none (mostly for not being impressed by Mittani's fanfest antics). Lucky for me my alliance has been in a constant state of war since its inception and my first instinct on receiving the dec was to make it mutual and lock them into an eternal war with hundreds of defensive allies!
And then CCP announced the 1.1 changes, you sperged about how CCP caved to goons, both CCP and the CSM told you that was wrong, and you completely ignored that and continued to sperg the same line for another 2-3 weeks. |

Not an intended derail but...
Who gets to determine what character is a persons alt or main?
I mean there are some pretty obvious examples out there where one can find a consensus but there are also a lot of gray areas. This is my second oldest character created mere hours after my first. I have made the majority of my income on this character though it has never fired so much as a pop gun.
I have both trained and traded for other characters that have more sp and have used them for everything from pve and pvp to infiltration as well as ganks. Yet I still consider this character as my main when it comes to market transactions (the bulk of my income) and forum posting.
From time to time i will make a post and some forum warrior will come on and check my history on battleclinic or some other source and chime in with "post with you main noob."
So I ask as a counter question who gets to say what is a persons main? Are kill stats the only determining factor?
I have many kills on many characters but i do not post on them and feel no need to.
Meh, --Posting with MY main.

There are some people, however, who'll try every trick in the book to win an argument. You can argue as correctly as you'd like about f.ex something combat-related, but if the char you're on doesn't have multiple thousands of kills in the last months, they'll happily go "post with your main, or your arguments are null and void because you don't have combat experience on that char!". |

You must have been quite outspoken, since many posters on this forum posted their disapproval of his behavior, including some CFC members and even some Goons.

I dont really have alts. I dont beleive in the concept. I treat all of my characters equally.
I find the idea of calling one character a "main" and one an "alt" offensive actually.
How do you define which of your alteregos is your main alter ego ?
It boggles the mind. |

Because people pigeonhole you based on what corp or alliance you are in an and presume that you are incapable of unbiased opinion. With alt posting they also presume some sort of agenda (tho undefined), which is IMO the lesser evil, but in the end it doesn't matter. |

Besides, when discussing on a forum, people should reply to the post/argument - not the avatar. It's the same RL person behind my arguments no matter what character I'm posting with anyway.
Far too many need an internet existence behind some character in a space ship game where every one and his mother/dog/cat/grandma claims captain quarters and nex clothes are for wow players.
Interesting psychology, a real good study case.
Now please everyone, I'm testing mmo's players trust behaviour, send me a couple millions and of course I'll return them back to you with some extra to thank your participation.
Thx.

Because idgaf and if a person posts decently and cause use reason, logic, and evidence in their arguments then who they post with shouldn't matter.
The downside is that by using an alt small-minded people can more easily dismiss your arguments. But honestly, if I posted with my main they'd still dismiss my arguments because *Goons*. Don't worry about posting with your main! -áPost with your brain! "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." |

Don't you feel that posting with your non-goon alt is somehow avoiding "social consequences" of your involvement with an organization that isn't very popular ingame?

Hey, look at this person with an over-inflated ego. Our most hated person is and always will be SirMolle. You're more like a little yappy dog that won't shut up while we're watching Spongebob.

Haha, why would I? The people who hate us already wardec us constantly. And this character isn't wardec immune or anything. I regularly travel around with her, and I have yet to be wardeced at all.
The problem of people dismissing alts comes when people use their npc-alts to post crazy nonsense simply in an effort to stir up **** without facing consequence. That ruins it for people who just prefer to post with alts because they like that alt. Don't worry about posting with your main! -áPost with your brain!
