Hi there, I just recently bought another alt account, and I was wondering, there aren't really any rules about having alt accounts is there? So Is it wise to do so, make an alt account on the forums, as my younger brothers also use this alt account, and they might use the forums themselves, so I just thought I might ask here, as I thought this would be considered as a general discussion.

You're allowed to have alts, but they must not interact with each other in any way. This includes +repping, quoting, or replying to posts made by your other account, leaving likes or comments on the other account's profile page, etc. If your brothers want to use the forums, it's probably best to just make them accounts of their own.
Just to add to what IronMagus said (he's right!) we also have a zero tolerance policy on using alternate accounts to avoid posting suspensions, or breaking the rules. For example if a person has 2 accounts and when one is banned they use the other, that would result in both accounts being banned forever, another example is if someone makes a thread for their server and then creates a second thread for their server from an alternate account (thereby spamming) both accounts would also be banned.
We have a very relaxed view towards alternate accounts as long as they're used for genuine purposes. You're welcome, for example to have one account to apply for servers and another to discuss Minecraft, or one account to share pictures of your creations and one account to ask for help with programming Minecraft modifications.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.

Thank you for taking the time to ask
