There are legitimate reasons for creating new accounts when you already have one, for example, if you have strong reasons to want to be dissociated from your past. This does not mean that accounts can be created for the sole purpose of starting fresh. To confirm that the reason is valid, users can reach out to a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}} detailing full reasons. After this request is approved, a new account can be created and the old account should stop being used as soon as possible. | There are legitimate reasons for creating new accounts when you already have one, for example, if you have strong reasons to want to be dissociated from your past.
