  Hi @japaloc0s, you might run into some friction if the email address is already in use with another account.

  But you could use an email alias or other variation. For example, (email visible only to moderators and staff) and (email visible only to moderators and staff) are the same address as far as Google is concerned, but they will count in our system as two separate addresses for different accounts. Want to try that?

  You could also log into the other account, change and confirm the email address there so the other address is freed up, then log into this one and use the freed address. But the dot trick is a lot easier. I’d recommend giving that a go, and updating us here if you need more help. Cheers!
