Does myLot allow having 2 different accounts from the same IP?

My problem is this: my girlfriend would like to have an account on myLot , but since we're living together and we share the Internet connection through a router and have the same IP on both computers, I don't know if that's allowed. Do you know if we can do that?I mean,will we get our accounts suspended or...? Please help me out at this one. Thank you.

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing, take care that your paypal accounts are separate. Yes, you would be using the same i.p. address. It's only on local lan network you have separate i.p. address. So, carry on posting, there is no specific rule with regard with this ruling (it is very ambigous), here is my opinion, the only thing that should be avoided is multiple people are accessing your account via a compromised password (that's illegal) and if many other people have joined Mylot but are having the same paypal account (i am sure Mylot security would notice that anomaly at the registration stage itself, but you never know). Considering your scenario, Mylot will clearly know that if 2 people are operating at the same time, they will study your posts, check the fact that you are having separate accounts. The only thing that should be avoided at all costs is trying to be biased, by marking each other's response as best response etc. and trying to cheat the system. However, if Mylot has a problem with that, then this site is not worth your time, because it just not make any sense to invest in a separate Internet broadband connection for posting in Mylot. Above all Mylot policy on this issue is just not clear, i checked out their rules, it is indeed very weird, to be frank. Also, lot of Mylot member's with excellent ratings, will get into trouble, because i have come across plenty of individuals where there are siblings, husband/ wife who are sharing an Internet connection. So, i do not see any harm, in your case, unless something drastic happens (i.e. Mylot clearly states their policy... which is not the case as of now), you can go ahead and join along with your girl friend, good luck to both of you. Also, remember do not try to manipulate, because i know 2 guys who just vanished, they where spamming the board with threads and replying in each other's thread, giving best response etc.,i think their accounts have been terminated. Of course there are methods to bypass security, however i think it would be morally incorrect on my part to give you any advice that would harm Mylot, since i want Mylot to grow, and do well.

I have no Idea, just as coolcatzz said, it's possible as long as you have different email accounts...My friend and her husband have a account on here, they share a computer and she was never banned or suspended. But, it's better to be safe than sorry and just check... At the bottom of this page you will see "contact" try there to get to whom you need to.. Good luck

yes u r able to do that.my brother and i use the same pc + internet account(IP).and there was no problem in creating our accounts as we have different email IDs and paypal accounts.i think if it was against the rule then mylot must have specified it and as it isn't the case so i think there won't be any suspension as i or my brother haven't faced any.:)in my opinion there's no risk if ur girlfriend creats her account.

well....we have different emails and different e-gold accounts.... I am waiting an answer from ehmm who ever answeres to the questions on "contact" section. The thing is that we had different account on other forum,and after (almost) a month they suspended our accounts becouse we had the same IP.And that forum was not even paying for posting there... But except having those different accounts...I really can not deminstrate that we are 2 not 1. But I was wondering...the persons who are using Internet caffes ,they all have different accounts from practicly the same IP,right?SO...myLot allows or not this thing???

i think mylot allows that but you need to give a seperate paypal account for that.

I think so as long as you have different email accounts. But you better double check the rules section to be sure. If you can't find anything then send a message to the mylot moderators. They are really good and respond quite fast.

The rules say nothing about it. Where can I find a moderator? Many thanks.

I think yes as long as you have different email addresses and different paypal or egold accounts. I mean they want people to share the site so it would be rediculous to only allow one accoutn per household. My niece and I live in the same house and have high speed internet that uses the same router and we both have accounts. If you are really concerned then email the admin. they are usually very helpful and get back to you pretty quickly.

I don't recall this being allowed when I read the restrictions, but you might try writing them with your specific situation.
