I'm just wondering what legitimate reason someone would need to have a duplicate account. I can understand when people meet up and decide to create a joint account to celebrate the occasion - this has been done for a long time. BUT that also carries responsibility - remember that a new account is effectively a new person as far as everyone is concerned - please be TACTFUL in using it. What may seem like friendly joking around to you will probably be seen as trolling behaviour by those not in on the joke. So try and let people know who you are pretty early - to stop the joke going sour.
That is the only legit reason I can think of. Every other reason for having a second account seems to be related to:
1. annoying people by playing pathetic jokes on them (trolling)
2. being duplicitous in debates, in a lame way to try and get an advantage (having the second account come in to support the first - this is called solo tag-teaming)
People posting from the same IP are fine if they share a PC or computer lab - as long as all the actions from those accounts are not causing any trouble and pass the sanity/sense test. It's quite simple, really.
