We all have that friend. Maybe more than one of them. Every day they log on with all of their alts, one right after the other, until your chat log looks like this:

[@FriendName] has logged on with [Their Main Character]
[zone][@StrugglingPug]: Does anyone know where the bank is?
[@FriendName] has logged off with [Their Main Character]
[@FriendName] has logged on with [A Clever Bank Alt Name]
[@FriendName] has logged off with [A Clever Bank Alt Name]
[zone][@TrolliciousLipLicker]: banks won't matter after the election
[@FriendName] has logged on with [A Bodily Fluid, Excretion, Or Function]
[@FriendName] has logged off with [A Bodily Fluid, Excretion, Or Function]
[@FriendName] has logged on with [ERP Prince(ess(e))69xxoo]
[@FriendName] has logged off with [ERP Prince(ess(e))69xxoo]
[@FriendName] has logged on with [A Name That Will Be Banned In Like 3 Weeks]
[zone][@StrugglingPug]: How do I leave Cyrodiil?
[@FriendName] has logged off with [A Name That Will Be Banned In Like 3 Weeks]
[@FriendName] has logged on with [Their Main Character But A Sorc]
[@FriendName] has logged off with [Their Main Character But A Sorc]

However!! You can help fight against this alt login spam! Just go in offline mode (which prevents you from sending login messages while active) before you do your daily switcheroo and your friends will thank you for it. Or not notice at all, since, you know, you went in offline mode. Make sure to go back into online mode once you're done or all your besties will think you abandoned them forever.

    There are certainly more important problems out there, but there are also plenty of threads addressing them. Shouldn't you be commenting there, instead of wasting time coming here wondering why people are trying to be helpful about minor issues?

    Not sure if core setting or addon (NoThankYou), but you can disable these login chat messages if that's causing you so much trouble.

    Alternatively you can remove them from friendlist. Anyone causing that much pain to you should not be considered as friend.

    Not really causing a ton of trouble, just wanted a humorous post outlining a minor inconvenience that players can take steps to prevent.

    But new problem created, as that would also block login messages for people that are logging on for real-real, not just to spawn mail. Also, it's really not a huge problem, was meant to be 95% funny and 5% cereal.

    I have never seen this as an issue. Actually, seeing a friend swapping through characters lets me know they will be ready for action in a few minutes.

    I warn everyone that adds me that, while I try to remember to go Offline when I get Hirelings, you may see the occasion 12-toon spam twice a day.

    Twice a day?? That's some dedication, I don't even bother getting the second mail just because it's so hard to juggle exact 12-hour intervals every day.

    I don't have that friend, I'm that friend :(

    Sorry, but... You see, ten characters...
    And yes, I totally forget to set offline.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I've got all 12 slots filled, gotta log in to each every day, and so far I've only once forgotten to set to offline mode. Nobody's whispered me being like "GOODNESS GRACIOUS MEN'DO" but I know they'd think it if I kept doing that every day. XD
