How does the (email+1@gmail.com) work?

[FixedDevice]

Can I basically sign up again on any website with the same email if I keep on using the +1 thingy? example:

 

johnsmith@gmail.com

johnsmith+1@gmail.com

johnsmith+2@gmail.com

etc...

 

Is there a limit to this as well?

id assume most sites know about that

Theoretically?

If I saw that on my website, I would definitely check it out and most probably ban/block the IP address and Email if they kept on doing it. I'd end up setting up a rule so you can't sign up if you email started with: johnsmith and it kept occuring... Lol

I would advise not to do it relating to a main account you use for the game. If they found out about your emails, they would ban each account. If you are giving money/items to your 1 Main account from all these others, I would certainly get rid of all the money/items you got, and most probably ban your main account for a few weeks. 

 

Although they might have LOADS of members signing up, I wouldn't bother looking through each member, unless they had something to auto detects multiple accounts with almost the same name. Not only that, but they would also see all the accounts logging in from the same IP address if you didn't use a VPN or something for every account LOL

 

 

It really isn't worth it.. Unless you make just a few accounts and try to play it safe

wow thanks for that reply!

 

Yeah after that description it probably doesn't sound too safe unless I use it around once a week and hopefully they won't detect anything... >.< 

 

I'll consider my options later on today
