Just curious if these types of participation are condoned on FT. If they are are not approved, then how is it regulated?
BTW, how many moderators and "flyer talk evangelists" use multiple handles?

Craig6z, for instance, is approved to have a second handle which he uses for his moderator duties. It's moderator2.
When duplicate handles are discovered, the offending member is generally given a choice which one to keep and in most circumstances a 'timeout' is warranted.
But those are general statements. Did you have something specific in mind?

See for example in this thread and this thread :

AA___Only
AA--Only
I think someone is going for a FT record!

Wow 
, I have never seen a thread with that many banned handles. Before now I had only noticed 2-3 banned handles.

Of course this makes me look like a newbie rather than someone reading and posting occasionally since 2000 (and keeps me Omni ineligible) bt I waste enough time as it is
Some of us learn the rules and tricks of the trade quickly, yes.
