Given the recent clampdown on alt accounts (and the much more recent actual announcement about that), I'm moved to wonder how many of you are affected by this, or think that you might be.Alt accounts are being disabled (sometimes while actually logged in) if they are found to have inadequate or invalid contact information -- whatever that means, exactly. Have you had an alt disabled because of this? Do you think you might? Do you even remember what information you provided when you created it?

I recently hit the restriction that they're no longer accepting alts (even with proper identification), because I'm working with their open source version and wanted to create a crashtest dummy in order to not flood friends with login/logout messages.
The irony of course is that if I provided a secondary (or disposable) email address, different name or birthdate I probably would have gotten the account.
