It has longed been forbidden that there should not be multiple accounts for members. This is to prevent members from signing up multiple accounts to 'support/backup' one's argument during debate, which is deemed to be unfair and inappropriate. The only exceptions are staff moderators, who might need one additional backup account for technical testing/troubleshooting.
However, we didn't state this rule clearly in our forum rules.
Anyway, I've added this rule in our forum rules at http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index.php?showtopic=7
All additional/multiple accounts detected will be deleted or 'banned'.

A member (a person) is only entitled to one account in this forum. You should not register multiple accounts in CHF. Any multiple accounts will be deleted or 'banned'. The reason for initiating this rule is to avoid members signing up multiple accounts to 'back up' one's argument during debate, which is deemed to be unfair and inappropriate. The only exceptions to this rule are staff moderators, who might need an additional backup account for technical testing or troubleshooting.
