So I recently found out that my buddy :iconkaseykockroach: got perma-banned from DA for having two accounts - one for his regular artwork and one for specialty pieces. And I do feel bad for him (it's certainly not the first time a friend of mine has been kicked out of this place for doing nothing wrong), but I also realized with some trepidation that, um, I'm apparently running the risk of being in the same boat as him.

Is it true that DA can ban you for having more than one account? 'Cause if so, I think I'd better start migrating all my underwater drawings back to this page.

when was that a no-no here on deviantArt.
I have a RP- account and I'm not banned.
The deviant mentioned probably did something nasty on his other account to get him banned.

Can you get banned if you have multiple accounts with each account having a different email address?

I sent a note to $ewm asking about multiple accounts. She says it's fine so along as all accounts follow the rules. Told her about my 3 accounts and what I was doing with them; she said not to be concerned. So who really knows wth happened to your poor friend? That still is a bummer. :(

Oh and I goofed: it wasn't 3 to an IP address, it was 3 to one email address. :ohmygod: sorry.

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with having just 2 or just 3 accounts. :shrug:

Oof, that's unexpected! But from what I've learned in the comments, there is nothing wrong with that - I've just checked the rules as I type this, and there is absolutely no mention of "multiple accounts" or "profiles" in the "DeviantART Etiquette Policy". (linked there for your convenience) [link]

According to DeviantART's rules, you are breaking no rules at all. And they will be in deep sh*t if they try to delete any Underwatertoons pics, I tell you this right now! >_>

Banned for having more than one account? I thought I saw in the RULES of DA that one can have up to THREE accounts on one IP address. I have three accounts: this one is an art/humor account, the other two are photography accounts. There must be something else to it that your friend got banned? I've never heard of this before. :worry:

Nah deviantART doesn't ban JUST for that. :/ They are totally aware of the fact that they exist, and if they banned for that they'd probably go and delete every single plz account ever, and mot of the admins/mods probably sue the plz accounts themselves or have multiple accounts.

A friend of mine was perma-banned some years ago because of "harrassement" but he was just stating his opinion on his journal, and one hyper fangirl took it as harrassement reported him for it.

So if somebody reported the account for some reason, it's possible he may have been banned for that small reason. I doubt he was ban for the multiples.
