IP Question.

[Kreeps]

Hey guys, I read through a few pages and couldn't find anything directly related to this issue so I figured I'd start one.

Here's the rundown: So my younger brother is a new RP'er and a huge Star Wars fan, as am I. I showed him this site and he thinks it's awesome and would really like to join. Problem is, we live in the same house and use the same internet connection, thus, we have the same IP address. I'm not sure of the rules on this board but on some other RP boards I've been on, having multiple accounts from one IP was a red flag for the admin staff. It obviously brought up concerns of "cheating" etc. So I'm wondering, would it be an issue for my brother to make an account and RP despite us sharing an IP? Sorry if it's a silly question, but I wouldn't want to get in any trouble or cause any problems. If this issue has already been addressed, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Nope, that's perfectly fine. Usually we only crosscheck IPs if we think someone's sockpuppeting (and we check other sources before considering anything conclusive, IP usually is just a prompt for us to look into things further), so giving us the heads up in advance pretty much negates that.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply my bro is gonna be excited.

No worries - if you could just give us his username when he signs up, that'd be hugely appreciated for reference purposes :)

I'll PM it to you once he joins. :)
