I have multiple chess.com accounts. I want to know if that's fine, or if I'm breaking a rule. I know it's wrong to use them to sandbag or to artificially raise your rating, but I don't so is it ok?

Note to admin who see this: please, PLEASE don't ban me for this if it's wrong. Tell me here or private message my account and tell me it's not allowed, and I'll delete the accounts. Thanks.

That is, unless you're unleashing your world or rather website-famous sarcasm once again

I know it's an old post, but how do you explain famous GMs having more than one account? Are they allowed?

Yes. Titled players are allowed one titled account and one "anonymous" account.
