Sockpuppet for a reason

Is it allowed to use 2 usernames on the same thread?

If I had posted something relatively general on a thread under my usual username and then realised I would like to go into detail after all (with a nc), would that get me a ban? It is a sensitive subject and what I would have added might have been hugely identifying.

Hi reni2,

Thanks for asking - we're happy to explain.

As others have said, we'd only penalise someone for sock puppeting if we could see they were doing it to mislead or with malicious intent. And this sort of thing is usually spotted a mile off (and duly reported) by MNers.

We can see if someone has name changed on a thread but we're not concerned if we can tell there's no funny business going on. Smile
