LET rules for account etc

Hey Guys,
I was wanting to 100% confirm the rules of LET to make sure that it is 100% ok to let multiple staff member use one account or if the forum requires everyone to have different usernames etc.
Does anyone know for sure?

i think its okay, normal users like us wouldn't know anyways except for the admins
I just know a lot of other forums are very strict admin wise on sharing accounts and wouldn't like to wake up one morning and find the account banned!
As long as you don't share your account with Naruto, I think you'll be fine .
If i did that wouldn't I just end up Dos'ing myself and causing all sorts of bother? Would be an interesting business plan for sure.
What, LET has rules?
Rule #1 Don't be a dick!
Rule #2 See Rule #1

Why not have RandomVPS_NameA and RandomVPS_NameB, etc?
Good idea. I'm taking.

@gsx I was thinking that.
At LET rules aren't that much structured because there simply wasn't need for that yet however account sharing between employees only have sense as long you're here solely as company representative and you don't use account to express your personal views. But if you're here also as personal entity and represent yourself, your personal opinion, views... account sharing would be just silly and even if there is no forum rule against it's still somehow against culture of the internet, netiquette.
Don't worry, its not WHT here.
+1 on what @Spirit said. It's not difficult to make new accounts here since they're just tied to email addresses.
It also removes the "oh but I didn't say that, the other guy who uses my account said that" issue
No, isn't WHT
But there is absolutely no sense having multiple accounts, UNLESS you want to do something sketchy...
Ditto.
Your best bet would be doing like us ( @Francisco and myself have separate accounts ) or CVPS ( @CVPS_Chris and CVPS_Jeremiah[sp?] have their own accounts ).
That way there's no confusion over who's posting, and it allows staff members to participate in the community as individuals, rather than just as a company name.
What if you have multiple personalities?
Like that HostFail, Snowy, Sturdy dude? What was that name again, Catswon? Or what is that Michael guy? Or that Const....
I have no problems if one user has multiple accounts or if multiple users are using the same account, but it's up to @Chief.
Either way, it would be nice to let everyone know who are they talking to
