  I have two questions, i hope I will get some help:

  1- Is it accepted by WordPress for the same person to have more than one WordPress account?

  2- If you have two WordPress accounts, each having two sites and you want to use WordAds on all four sites; can you point them all to the same paypal account?

  I am asking these questions because I like to run all my blogs independently without users being able to track which blog do I own. Why? because i like to stay “anonymous” in some of my blogs and reveal who I am in other blogs. I feel this gives me more freedom to say what I “really” think and feel.

  Thank you

  Thank you raincoaster

  how would they know?

  I’m sure they can know somehow:

  • if i regularly log in from the same IP address, same PC
  • same payment information (if I use WordAds in the future).

  I read the TOS of wordpress, http://en.wordpress.com/tos/, i didn’t find any reference to confirm if having more than one account is legal or not.

  Could WordPress employees confirm this?
