"Handling multi account users at Raids"


#PokemonGO: Greetings,Recently my local POGO Facebook group went into a storm because of people using multiple accounts at raids. This led to a heated debate with no real "winner" as of yet. I'm interested to know how other groups handle the use of multi accounts.I believe there's two types of multi account users:People how level up and use a second (or more) account of their own ("Baby account").People who brings other's account to a Raid, because they themselves are hindered.Our Local group has, until yesterday, ignored the fact that people were using multiple accounts for any reason, giving them space to join. If a Raid was filled to 20 people, the excess account would be the second account of someone, not leaving out any participants of the Raid. Edit: Our group knows how to split into smaller groups, sorry for the confusion :)But yesterday single account users posted they will not tolerate multi account Trainers, and they will actively avoid them, or create private lobbies without granting them the password. Furthermore some Raid posts on the Facebook group are now marked "Single account only".Their reasoning being multi account users drive up to the raid, beats it and puts 6 Mons in the Gym minutes before the Raid, berrying it if contested and hence pissing the rest off.Another reason from single account users is that it is more fun when all people actually shows up, instead of someone bringing their second/their spouse's (or whoever's) account.Several individuals has said they will not raid with multi account users, and claims they will leave the area if one shows up at the agreed Raid time. This begs the question if they will create a new Raid next to and leave out that/those trainers.My question is how the rest of the world handles this situation? Our local admins are currently discussing this internally, but I'm curious what other local groups does and why/how.I'm not taking either side here, I just wanna know what others does.The T&C are against any type of multi account-ing, but it is also against discrimination of individuals and groups, so who's in the right here?Looking forward to everyone's thoughts :)Edit: In case it matters; the town size is about 50k citizens, and about 30 +/- active raiders if it matters.Edit2: Wow, many more responses than I could have imagined. I'll read them all but cannot guarantee to reply to them all. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2FKzp7S
