With the implementation of the merit system, I don't think holders of several accounts would be encouraged to maintain their alternative accounts especially if their posts aren't recognized or merited. There are certain campaigns now that require a significant amount of merit scores. It would be hard for them to handle accounts and apply to campaigns especially when the requirements are not met accordingly. Maybe due to this, they would rather just focus on one account to assure profit.
I think with some campaign rules in place, this forum would really get cleaned up. It wouldn't even require much extra effort from the mods.
So I totally agree with The Pharmacist. With improvements in rules and its strict implementation, this forum would be back to its optimum state.
