You are basically just saying that multiple accounts aren't allowed, or specifically that they cannot play the same game, in a roundabout way.
If multiaccounts are allowed: isn't it a given that they are used to play games?
I am trying to say that even if you are not playing with your different accounts in the same games, you are still cheating by decresing the number of points of your opponents, thus you stand at a higher rank than you deserve.
And for sure multiaccounts are fortunately not allowed. The problem on BGA, is that they are in fact tolerated my admins. The main account of a cheater should also be banned.
The problem is solved.

You did not cheat per se. But BGA rules are unclear, a thing which lets you do this no brainer thing of having 5 accounts, all in top 20 in a game you have skill at. (no brainer is not an insult)
Again... it is unfair for 4 players, who would get in top 20 if not for your extra 4 accounts, and you don't care about them, but only about your selfish accomplishment of having 5 accounts in top 10.
If i was on BGA team, i would ban your 4 accounts, let you choose which 1 of the 5 to keep, and make some cleared rules.

As already noted multiple times in this thread.
BGA report system wrote:
It is acceptable to own several accounts on BGA, as long as it is reasonable and does not violate another rule of the website.

Also for the original poster:
Why exactly did you post this thread to begin with? Considering you got no penalty, were you really that offended that BGA didn't stick to their vague rules regarding multiple accounts, and warned you?
I would find it hard to believe, considering what you do with the 5 accounts, is a bit... immoral (to say the least). Not cheating or against rules, just immoral ranking saturation.
The problem is solved.

I don't understand why multiple accounts are allowed to begin with. I can't think of any legitimate reason for having multiple accounts.
One time, I forgot my BGA password and couldn't remember it because I had it saved on my old laptop and never had to actually type it in. Because I had an old email address in my account I was unable to reset my password and get into BGA, so I had to create a new one. Months later I remembered my old account's password but I now had a great ELO on the new one for Solo and some other games, so I kept it. Haven't logged in in ages but I don't see why having a second account just on its own should be a bad thing. It is what you use it for.

I think having more than 1 extra account (made to be used in cases of emergency like yours, or to test game bugs... and not used in any other way), especially extra accounts used to ambush a ranking system in a game, without caring, only to get satisfaction by making others feel bad by not being able to enter the ranking, or feel bad by witnessing this and not being able to do anything, because the multiaccounter is admittedly taking advantage of a flaw the site is not correcting... should be specifically prohibited.
