Anyway, if you're not using the account to play games, does it matter? Who is it hurting?
Generally speaking, this kind of thing is a way for established players to come online, insult or troll others, and escape any damage to the reputation of their real character. So, it's not that different from people who build a multi so they can join someone's game and mess it up without any consequences.

Bollocks.
Same here!
But both of you had a long history of playing games here, even if you're not playing any right now. Without even looking I will very confidently bet fifty bucks that neither of you posted in the politics forum on your first day here.

If the player is a multi it might be as a way to support another account in a forum section, but that seems unlikely.
One doesn't accidentally wander onto a gaming site, avoid the games, and head straight for the politics forum with the precision of a guided missile to start trolling people. Someone searching for "games" will go to a gaming site and play some games, before possibly exploring the rest of it. Someone searching for "politics forum" will find Usenet, not Conquer Club.
Probably not provable, unfortunately, but guaranteed this is a multi.
