It isn't possible to view a player's profile in this forum. The comment about "yada yada post with your main" comes from the fact that alts can post on this forum, unlike in the Eve-i forum for example. As a result, alts are frequently used to post inane topics or to flame other forum users without any comeback to the main character. Thus a lot of people, quite rightly, assume that any stupid comments are made by alts and tell them to use their main characters for posts.
PS: I'm NOT an alt!

thanks.
are there any player databases out there on other websites like eve-i? or is the character xml not accessable without logging in individually?
i'm curious to see how other people prioritize and spend skill points.

No, there's no way you're going to be able to view other characters' SP; I can only imagine the abuse that would leave non combatants and newer players open to!

Ways to tell if an alt is an alt;
1. They are posting something insulting, and are therefore scared of the person they are insulting. Therefore they want to hide their main's identity.
2. They have no corp or alliance ticker in their name. The large majority of people turn these on in the 'settings' tab, if only to make it obvious they aren't an alt.
3. They have no sig. A lot of people add a sig, to individualise their posts. Forum whorage alts don't usually have one.
4. The name is something retarded like altdude576, notanalt or DukDodjerz. ---

Not nearly always true (as can be seen by your 'large majority of people' and 'a lot of people').
I have set only name and race info to be shown and for a long time I didn't even have a sig. Still Sable is a main, has been from the start nearly 2 year ago.
So people take these 'way to tell' points with a grain of salt.
The first point of Nero's is still valid in most of the cases though.
In the end it's only experience that will tell you for nearly 100% accuracy whether an alt was used to post or not. ----- Sable's Ammo Shop at Alentene 5, Moon 4, Duvolle Laboratories Factory. Ammo at affordable prices. |

Didnt want to quote you, just to say that IMHO that is the best sig Ive ever seen.
I must be a saddo because it actually made me chuckle.

Im an alt.... (All you need to do is ask)
As for insulting flame.... errr... as the geordies shouted at the Liverpool fans: 'Ya mums ya dad!, ya mums ya dad! la la la la lalrr'
Let's get this straight, if a girl has to be "rescued" 10 times a week from a brothel shes not a damsel but a prostitute.

i'm an alt... But really, it's hard to define an alt without them being specific in action or names such as Altage or ForumAlt1 etc.
