Accounts

[raybird2013]

Well so far I like fc, but I have one concern about the rules I do not agree with or like. It says you can not have more than one account from the same IP or household. I don't think this is fair, and I will tell you why. Here is an excellent example as to why it isn't fair.
I have an 18 year old son who was living here with me but recently went to live with his mother because of his job. He is one of the people who signed up on my referal and now he is a member too. What happens when, for whatever reason, he needs to move back in to my house? Are you going to delete both of our accounts then because we both would be using fc from this machine? That's bogus bullshit man. This rule needs to be thought out and changed. Just my two cents...

It's to prevent people from creating multiple accounts in order to make more money. It only takes an email address to sign up so people could have several accounts and that wouldn't be fair

I don't know, I tend to agree with the original poster.  Even though it's an e-mail that gives you your new account, if someone else in your household wanted to sign up, I'm sure FC could find a way to have that new person under the same IP address prove who they are - a fax of a State ID Card, Driver's License, etc. would put an end to the confusion of perhaps someone creating multiple accounts for their own personal use.

If they allowed multiple accounts in the same household...what would stop someone from doing multiple accounts themselves?  For example....I make alittle over $100 a month on this site....if i was allowed to do 4 accounts from my home....I would bring it well over $400 a month.  Also you would get refferals from people in your same house and that would add to that as well.  Just something to think about.  The rules are in place to help FC keep away people who just want to scam the site.....most people are honest but others would take advantage.  FC is like anything else in life....you get out of it what you put into it....there are no short cuts!!

Well I understand that you would want each person in the household to be able to make money, but FC and the sponsors also have to make money.  If you really want the extra money could you let someone use your account and do the work for you when you do not have time to get on.  I personally like having my own account and no one else using it though.  Just my opinion.

There is a reason why those rules are in place.  if they weren't in my case i could have 5 accounts as i have 5 different email accounts for my household.  Not only would this not be fair to fusion cash or the people who advertise i would be taking the spots from other fusion cash people such as your self since a lot of hits have a certain quota and once filled are no longer avaliable.

That's a lot of extra work on a small staff though. If every time a member signed up and their identity needed to be verified, it would eat up a lot of time. Plus I imagine people would be annoyed waiting to get verification on joining and walk away from FC.

It seems the IP address is the simplest solution that is still most effective.

May not be fair but more sponsors for FC and really the only way to stop scammers.

If he has a cell/smart phone with a data plan he could probably use that as a hot spot and use a laptop or computer with a wireless adapter and connect through that. Not really sure about this but it seems reasonable.

I feel for ya. i'm glad that's one situation i don't have to worry abouy

[amaravee]

i mean, i kind of like having this rule. it prevents duplicate accounts..
it seems unfair but it does make sense
