Bughouse Simul, allowed or not?

Just a quick question, are we allowed to create a 2nd account and partner on two different boards? I have seen a lot of people do it, and I want to know if it's legal or not.

Not currently.  You're only supposed to have one account.

I know bughouse simuls are a part of bughouse culture, but it's not currently supported.  Using two accounts, in addition to being a violation against multiaccounting rules, creates concerns about rating manipulation - some people sandbag with one account and then self-partner to inflate their main account's rating.

The proper way to handle it would be to display both boards side-by-side and have a single account controlling both boards.  That's obviously not implemented yet, but if you use the "Make a suggestion" feature under the Help menu, that will help let staff know what people want and what the community considers important.

So everyone who does it will get banned? I can give you the usernames

It's dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but the standard practice for multiaccounting is to either close all but one account, or to give them a few days to choose which account to leave open and close the other(s).  If there's rating manipulation, though, all the accounts might get banned.

I'm busy and don't have a lot of time to take on extra investigations, but you can use the report link on their pages:

Ok, thanks!

I think streamers can do that, and it´s awesomely great for the show, not so much for the poor brain that has to handle 2 or 3 simultaneous games xD

whos @komodochess XD

Staff account used for Komodo to play odds matches against titled players.  Somebody (probably @erik) decided to mark it as a GM, probably to be funny.

It is an engine account, so an obvious choice as an example of how to report someone.  I would have done @erik, but the report button isn't there for staff.
