:Allowing multiple people to share the same account is to be discouraged. Not only does it violate the TOU agreement, but it's also a very unwise idea. To Wikia and all Wikia wikis, the account '''is''' the person. For example, if an account is blocked, then all users of that account are blocked. There are no exceptions such as "wait, I didn't do it, that was someone else on my account!" -- it's impossible to verify such a claim. Accounts should not be shared under any circumstances. Even married couples should use separate accounts. {{User:Mathmagician/sig|21:27 UTC|Fri|20 July 2012}} |

Is there a Wikia policy on shared accounts? Several users on The Hunger Games wiki have started doing this, which I am construing as sockpuppeting. However they are not using the shared accounts to evade any bans or blocks. I am concerned though that more users will start doing this. Local forum discussion is here.

- http://www.wikia.com/Terms_of_Use#Membership applies in this case. Specifically, it says:
- If you choose to register for membership, in consideration of your use of the Site, you agree to maintain the security of your password and identification and to be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place using your account.
- Allowing multiple people to share the same account is to be discouraged. Not only does it violate the TOU agreement, but it's also a very unwise idea. To Wikia and all Wikia wikis, the account is the person. For example, if an account is blocked, then all users of that account are blocked. There are no exceptions such as "wait, I didn't do it, that was someone else on my account!" -- it's impossible to verify such a claim. Accounts should not be shared under any circumstances. Even married couples should use separate accounts.

- I wouldn't be so quick to jump to that conclusion. I don't really see much wrong with this, and they seem to have a legitimate reason as long as they notify the admins.
