I always post on my main. Unless i was to use a silly named alt for sillyness
My favorite alt is from back when i was a low sec pirate. Have an alt called the campfre who i would put in a Burn Ing ship on the gate with us. Because when you go camping you need a campfire! |

I post on whichever character I spend the most time ingame with, currently it's this one, next month it may be my original character or my trade alt.

ITT people say they don't post with their alt.
This is my main, but several people in this thread are my alts. Seriously, like roughly 23 people. I just typed that I'm actually posting with my main to fool y'all. Rifterlings - small gang frigate PvP - low/nullsec operations, newbie-friendly, free ship program; Join today! www.rifterlings.com

I think a lot of people are afraid of the consequences of posting the ******** they do on the forums, so they post it on NPC corp alts. They're too afraid to stand up and openly declare "this is who I am, and this is what I believe." |

Well, see, the ones who do post with their mains are Mittani alts, so they don't fear wardec retaliation because it would be silly for Mittani to wardec his own alt.

Just curious to see why there are people out there who post on here with a forum alt, as I genuinely don't know why you would want to hide who you are.
Does your alliance or corp not let you post on these forums? If so why are you with them?
Is it because you fear retribution (lol) for your opinions? Why do you think everyone dislikes your opinions?
Is it because you're a massive troll? If so, why are you Snot Shot/a GRRRR Goon?
This is a legit question, and definitely not a troll post or a rant.

As for 'worth' of an Alts opinion: as I've said - an opinion/idea doesn't become any more or less relevant/interesting based on some arbitrary number of SP's, a born on date, or any corp membership. You might be surprised what this 10/8/2012 'Alt' could tell you about scanning for instance or living in a WH. Some of us just come here for to exchange ideas, info or a laugh or three. My impression of a few groups/individuals has changed over the years because of it ( both positive and negative ). It's also good to see things from somebody else's perspective on a nerf/buff/etc and see why it might be a good, bad or who cares idea. One persons 'Small Nerf' can actually be a 'Kinda Big Thing' to others.
Oh I agree that you shouldn't dismiss opinions due to age, SP or anything else. If I ever do it purely on that basis please feel free to call me out on it. I'd like to think I listen to peoples opinions and views and then respond based on what they've said, not the mouth it's come out of.
However, sometimes if I see someone posting something with an alt, you have to wonder why? I mean do they actually believe what they are saying? Doesn't mean I wouldn't agree with it, but it's like every alt saying "I'm a director of Goonswarm and and elite pvp god" (if goons have such a thing). If you posted on your main who was a goon pvp god doesn't mean i'd instantly believe what you say, but I think it does reassure people you have experience if that's your argument as to why people should listen to you.

Alt posting requires two mental conditions: cowardice, and stupidity. People use alts because they want to feel like they are part of the conversation even when they have nothing to say, but they don't want anyone to know that they are stupid. It makes their corp look bad. Better to say nothing and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt... that kind of thing.

Are you not worried that your opinions will be dismissed out of hand because no-one will know/believe what experience you have of EVE and that your opinions are based on experience and totally not made up?

No I hope that what I say (when I even care) stands up on it's own and isn't dependent on an old character.
I also don't like the idea of 'reputation farming' I guess you could call it. So even though I've probably made tens of thousands of posts I periodically wipe the slate clean. |

As for the 'cowardice' comment: why don't you try substituting another word in there. It's 'privacy'. Argue all you want about public internet, public comments or what-not. Reading something I post on a forum doesn't entitle you to any of the following: my real name, my address, my phone number, my SSN number, my birthdate, my bank account, it's balance, my credit card number, my mothers maiden name or any form of bodily fluid or tissue samples.
It also doesn't entitle you to the names or locations of any other characters I may have on my account(s). This is Eve. I don't know you and I've learned not to trust you. Ever. And my definition of privacy draws the line at this character. How much I let you into my 'life' ( in game and out ) stops right here...

I post with an alt, possibly.
Even if Lors is my oldest toon.
I decided to use one character on one account as my 'nick' on forums and on other social media stuff.
Mainly because I'm to old to keep track of the others.
But I've never tried to hide that I've got other toons that are more active in EvE.
It's just simpler to use one nick.
And Lors is the one who's most me, even if he looks far too young. |

I am always entertained by this subject, although I have to agree with the succinct comment "search function. use it."
What is a main character? The one who's training? Do I need to switch the character I post on if I switch my main? Did you come here to read posts and have discussions or did you come here to determine if someone is an alt and try to undermine what they say with "post on your main". Maybe it was my main. Maybe it will be next week. Is there some reason you can't just read the post and consider the merits of it on its own? If I have multiple accounts, do I need to tell you who all the main characters are?
This argument seems silly. I don't post on my main, I don't care what you think, it doesn't mean I have to stop posting. |

My "test" earlier was that if you were told you could only have 1 character and all the others will be deleted and you can never have any more alts, which one would you keep?

This argument seems silly. I don't post on my main, I don't care what you think, it doesn't mean I have to stop posting. There are people who have legitimate questions about eve, and in those questions those who know the answers should offer them. Sometimes what's "obvious" to one person might not be to another, and in a healthy community we can accommodate that. Nobody's a master of everything, after all.
There are others who disagree w/ the direction of game development, the actions of one corp or alliance, people with ideas for features or have solutions to propose to resolve problems in the game. All of these merit discussion.
Sadly, there are those who are just toolbags. They have some RL issues... need attention, want to feel important, or have some kind of mental imbalance. They aren't here to offer anything. Call them trolls or just a*******, what they are in the forums to do is find some measure of therapy, or make people feel as bad as they do about themselves. However, these desperate, tiny little wastes are transparent, and a lot of capsuleers see them for what they are. Why alt post? Because they want their therapy without consequence. That is the primary reason people use alts to shiptost. They don't have a legitimate question about the game, they have nothing to offer, they are just trolling.
You asked "Is there some reason you can't just read the post and consider the merits of it on its own?" I answer "yes". Often times a disagreement isn't fundamental, it's just the result of different perspectives and experience. At the outset of a disagreement, you have to assume, if you enter into it fairly, that maybe you aren't seeing things from that persons perspective, and through discussion what may have initially appeared to be a "stupid comment" was just one of you misunderstanding the other. The troll exploits this disconnect... it's not that they don't understand your perspective or that you don't understand theirs. They just want attention or whatever and are trying to elicit a response. It's obnoxious and a waste of time.
Trolls suck.
I've made the mistake lately of actually responding to them. I'm going to stop doing that.

I'd say that if you had all your alts in one place, and you were told you can only be one of them forever and never have any more alts, the one you pick is your main.
You could say "It's the one you spend the most time on" however if I'm a spy I'm going to spend most the time on my spy alt rather than my "main".
Therefore I'd use the above test.
Why would someone with multiple accounts only have one main? Why would I play a game that didn't let me have different experiences from that one character? What if I get tired of that one and want to pick a different one as my main? What if I stop playing that character? or biomass it? Now who would you post on? And do you have to explain to everyone you're this other person who posted a lot before so they don't think you're an alt?
This is an alt. He does stuff different from my main. He might become my main one day. Then I'll have to go find another alt to post on... |
