- Why do you care?
Up until now BMR has been pretty lax about how many accounts a single person can have. On average, most seem to follow the idea of either having just one or only a couple for whatever reason. However, to avoid abuse of this privilege in being allowed multiple accounts, it's been decided that a reasonable cap is to be put into place.
Now, before anyone goes crazy, the cap IS reasonable. The cap is NO MORE THAN FIVE ACCOUNTS PER A SINGLE PERSON. This will more or less have little to no affect on a very high majority of members. However, those of you who do indeed exceed this five, staff asks that you please contact them about what you'd like to do with your extraneous accounts. They can either be merged into a single account(s) or deleted outright.
Staff also asks that those of you with extraneous accounts step forward and contact them before the end of the month--more than enough time to figure out what you'd like to do with them. If you choose not to contact staff, it will be assumed that you don't care what happens to your accounts and staff will delete your extraneous accounts using their judgment as to which ones should go. You will then receive notification to your most current/active account as to which accounts have been deleted. Again, this shouldn't affect very many members at all.
One final thing. For the future, if you will be needing more than five accounts (staff does understand that there can be extenuating circumstances), please have a good reason for doing so AND please notify staff FIRST. If you don't, it'll be assumed you are breaking the 'account cap' rule and thus the account will automatically be deleted without warning. If disregarding this rule occurs too many times, you risk your site membership for ALL your accounts.
Thank you.
EDIT: I should also add that if you are banned from the site via one account, ALL alt accounts will be banned as well and for the same duration of time.
