We consider it a violation of the terms of service for you to have more than one Askpedia account and answer your own questions.
If you have multiple family members who are using Askpedia from the same household, they may create multiple accounts and answer each other's questions. However, if we do notice suspicious behavior and attempts at gaming

the system, we will close accounts and all points associated with the account.
We take security seriously and we employ industry standard measures to protect the private information inside Askpedia. Your email and IP address is kept secure while you are using the Askpedia website.

With that all being said...let me clear that "Raphaelthomas" is my beloved son...I wanted to know if this was in violation to have family members on their site..AP has set the record straight. Even though AP mention that family members can answer each other questions but I have never answered my son's questions because I don't like CONFLICTS.
Good information. This seems to be a bit of a shift from the way it was before. If you can answer each others questions, what constitutes gaming the system? If I spot two or more people gaming the system, I wouldn't know what to complain about.
Your son seems to be doing just fine. You can be proud of him.
You know we love you and give you a hug. We appreciate what you do for all of us.
I am always learning something with the new askpedia.
Thank you for the information.
When you said members of the same household can not answer each others question it means members that lives with you right?
I have friends and family members that use this site but they do not live with me so it is OK to answer each others questions?
It does not make any sense to me when someone have multiple accounts and answer your own questions that is a real concern.
By the way if we want to search for a member to see their activity where is the SEARCH MEMBER in askpedia or it was removed?
Good question! I just tried to find it and the best that I can come up with is the all time expert list, which you can page through until you find the person. I didn't see a particular search option either.

Well... This clarifies it for a certain person, doesn't it! Thank you for your informative post. Some of Raphael's Q's must make you smile!!!
You just made my cry!. Now I realise that you understand that my family was allowed to use the site as well. But now we have been told by AP that they all need new emails so we are working on that and drama drama drama! Is that really your son ! He is wonderfull and a credit to you.I am always popping in to see if he has a new Q as his Q's & A's are great and he has great humour too.Very handsom son you have there too !!
Sandy, AP just implement that policy when they develop this new Askpedia system. Sad to say, it wasn't their policy under the OLD system...
Now that I have found out, you can bring them on..Remember, we are a FAMILY here...Family member's disputes are taken up with that particular member. I taught my son Raphael to be respectful to all the people on this site because we are a FAMILY with ZERO Tolerance...Raphael is my Baby.. Don't 4 get this is a PUBLIC FORUM..we don't want our
New Faces to disappear. I have an open door policy...KNOCK YOURSELF OUT on my WALL.. Once your additional family members come on board, I hope that you announce who they are so we can WELCOME Them! O, here is a KLENEX to wipe your TEARY EYES..BAG
One of my daughters is actually a member of this site, too (user name: annchez). Some members are already aware of this. We live in the same house, we use the same computer, but not once have we answered each other's questions. This is because we happen to have different areas of interest. As of now, a lot of other things keep her busy so she's no longer that active on this site. In fact, she hasn't seen this new AP format yet.
Never have guessed that Raphaelthomas is your son. Funny & witty guy -- must have taken after his mother, I suppose... :-)
Thank you for let me know how i can search for a member without going through the list.I try as you mention and i was able to check on my friends activity but i like the search on the old askpedia.
