Angels Bring
I think you should just say, "If this isn't your first account then you can't join." then. Because otherwise what you're saying controdicts yourself.
You say no fibbing, but I would have to in order to tell you when I joined. Thus my first account.
But you said it has to be my current account which is this one as I gave the old one away.
So either I lie about when I joined or you should say "you can't join."
People make mule accounts - I'm one. So the 'join date' is based on each individual account.
The only join date she'll put down is the one that's visible on your profile of the account you post with. Simple as that. Sure, you joined on a different account earlier, but this new account's gaiaversary is different.
You can't
lie about putting a gaiaversary down for an account that you no longer own. See?
It goes for people that got hacked as well. If the join date has to be visible, it'll only count for their new account.
@TBC: To avoid further issues like this, perhaps clarify something about just the account their posting with? And tell them to post with mules if they want those included. Mention something about previous (inactive/given away) accounts or hackings. 'Cause geez, that's a lot of
drama.
