According to the FAQ section of Steemit:
Am I allowed to create more than one account?
Each user is allowed only one paid-for account created via Steemit.com, however users are allowed to create multiple accounts on the blockchain. Creating additional accounts on the blockchain requires users to pay their own account creation fee for any additional accounts.
However, I know of at least one person who has four Steemit accounts:
@thediyworld
@diy-electronics
@blogger101
@trtechtactical
While he most likely signed up for the extra accounts using names and phone numbers of family members, he is still the one doing all the posting and voting on Steemit.
This seems to go against the spirit of community and fair play that is encouraged on Steemit. What do you think about this practice? Is it cheating? Unethical?
Also, what do you think about upvoting your own posts? This member also does this. Seems cheesy. Like picking up a penny off the sidewalk...
