Can I Have More Than One Account?

Modified on Thu, 3 Apr at 2:42 PM

Yes, members are allowed to have more than one account on BlackHatWorld, but there are important guidelines you must follow to stay compliant with our rules. 


Creating multiple accounts for legitimate purposes is permitted; however, using multiple accounts to manipulate forum activity is strictly prohibited.


As outlined in Section 3.3 of our Terms and Rules, you must not use multiple accounts to:

  • Inflate post counts or artificially engage with content
  • Bump your own sales threads
  • Leave fake feedback or reviews
  • Interact with your posts in any way that misleads other members
  • Circumvent restrictions like warnings, bans, or posting limitations


Doing so is considered an abuse of the system and may result in:

  • A formal warning
  • Removal of your posts
  • Or, in serious or repeated cases, a permanent ban on all associated accounts


Important:

If any of your accounts are found to be linked to a previously banned member, the new account will also be banned without warning, regardless of its activity level.


If you're unsure whether your intended use of multiple accounts is acceptable or if you need separate accounts for business and personal use, we encourage you to contact BHW Support in advance to clarify.

Your reputation and activity on BHW matter, so always keep your actions aligned with the community’s values. 


When in doubt, ask!
