It's really not a stupid rule. However, much like many school rules, it is implemented in a black-and-white manner that really isn't appropriate.

You'd let everyone have as many accounts as they want?
nope its just take way to striktly
Well either it's enforced in all cases or not at all. It can't be halfway, that would be stupid and unfair.
I'm afraid I must disagree. Would it be more work to do so? Of course. However, in a situation like this one is being claimed where that other account isn't playing any games and hasn't been used in AGES...common sense should prevail.

Actually, I don't. I just recognize that is how it is handled here. Though I will admit that in the vast majority of cases, I do agree with it.

Firstly, here is your old account,
Jimi, which you can see, has been accessed on 10th March. The account is currently inactive, which is apparent by the fact that 'Guests' is the only usergroup available (but that is probably only since being kicked for rule violation). It would be nice if one of the mods could shed some light on this, if only so that this discussion can be conducted on fact, rather than speculation.
Scapula signed into the jimi several days after they were busted as multi's. That just proves he knew the log in information.
Very interesting. Thanks, Semp.

The problem with this is someone can "fix their crappy score" right quick by creating a new account.

Therefore, these people should be informed of their mistake, have the new account closed, and have the premium applied to their first account. If it happens again, then they are stripped of their premium.
I agree. But they should always be reuqired to use their original account, for the reason I just mentioned above.

I agree with your general point on this. However, not in this case...it seems Scapula did log into the other account after they were busted as multis.

Scapula account.
Jimi was the first one and made in 2007. Normal procedure is the original is allowed to be used and bought back in on and the newer one/s are guested.
Agreed. I don't understand this either.
