Alternate account

An alternate account (alt or alt acc for short) is an additional Roblox account belonging to a user who already owns an account.

Purposes of owning an alternate account
There are several reasons why a user may create an alternate account, including:
 * Name sniping or user ID sniping.
 * Getting locked out of their main account.
 * To play Roblox without being followed by other users, if the main account is well known to some degree.
 * To complete multiplayer challenges with the owner (done on two separate devices).
 * As a group account, though technically not allowed by Roblox rules, to own a group place or group information.
 * To make an inappropriate game.
 * To troll other users or evade possible server and/or game bans.
 * To circumvent account bans. This is a bannable offense, if caught.
 * To get another account if the user forgot their password, had their account compromised, or is banned.
 * To store limited items on, quite often when the user does not want to trade them on their main account.
 * To show a free Robux/Premium scam without being banned.
 * To do a task in a game that might require two or more players. Either done on different tabs or devices.
 * To exploit without getting their main account banned.
 * <13 users that want a 13+ account, or vice versa.
 * To make the player look like a noob (both in external appearance and username) but are actually good at the games they play. This practice is commonly referred to as "smurfing".
 * To test certain aspects of the main account's game.
 * To get more friends, such as adding the main account on the alt account as a friend.
 * To buy a limited then sell it to give to the main account in Robux to not get banned forever if the item is Poisoned.
 * Stock up tickets, to give to the main's group (2007-2016).
 * To advertise group games to have Robux payments and advertisement Robux separated on different accounts.
 * To bypass swear words and other inappropriate language.
 * To experiment with features on Roblox.
 * To create a roleplay character.
