Do you wonder if some people have multiple accounts?
And use those accounts to upvote their own deals?

I up-voted this question from both of my accounts.
I know some people do. ; )
I don't post too many deals, so I don't use it for that. I have an old one floating around in cyberspace somewhere because I took a hiatus from Woot! and couldn't remember my login stuff or the email acct that it was linked to.
Honestly, if someone has the time and desire to carry out an evil plan of shill voting for their own deals (or downvoting deals), questions, and comments on deals.woot, more power to them. That being said, I used my multiple accounts to post this comment and vote for it.
My dog has one. He uses it for his monkey addiction. Every 3 or 4 woot-offs, he's allowed to spend his extra kibble money for a few new monkeys.
Multiple accounts? What? Just what are you trying to say, here?
Leave me and my multiple personalities alone. I need MOAR Coffee!
Bond. James Bond, Q Branch, at your service.
{Why yes, I think I'm funny. :-D}
Flounder! Flounder! Flounder!
The fish is missed.
@theoneill555: Aw, shucks. The Flounder likes you too.
Hey, this is confusing, you know? Just how many danged personalities do I have, anyway?
Just for old times sake: THWACK
You're welcome.
My wife has an account, and she has in the past up-voted my deals. Does that count? I think she's down-voted some questions and deals of mine too.
@bogie21: My mom is on here but I would never give her a down vote as I would never hear the end of it, if she ever found out.
@theflounder: I feel honored!
"{Why yes, I think I'm funny. :-D}"
@shrdlu: What did I miss?
Did you get edited?
@shrdlu: But too bad not everyone gets the joke. :(

@caffeine_dude: Oh, dear. You are apparently that proverbial "last to know" person. Both @theflounder and @jamesbondqbranch are non-voting accounts I created. Be assured that I have never ever said an unkind word using Flounder. Bond was created during those unpleasant times which shall go unnamed.
I use another browser to make a comment with then, and then vote them up with this account. They can't vote on their own. I went to some serious bother when I created the flounder account.
[Edit] Okay, everyone behave themselves, or I'll pull this browser over to the side of the road.

Yes, I do have that kind of time. I have no life. I also have the sense of humor of a six year old. :-D :-D :-D
I think most wooters have multiple personalities
@shrdlu: Thank you so much, it does make waaaay more sense. Some day I need to research your alter egos. I have created alter egos to liven up a local forum. I did it for self entertainment. Our local "big shot" attorney and chief of police were caught in a scandal. Everyone was afraid to talk about it except behind closed doors, so I created 2 very vocal concerned citizens that were asking questions.
