to maintain multiple accounts on Olympus Colonoscopy Simulator Community,
Olympus KeyMed Ltd can and does track multiple shared accounts from a single or
multiple computers as one account in terms of TOS violations. If the TOS is

accounts shared between a single or multiple users who use the same computer
may also be banned for the actions of the violating account at the
administrators' discretion. It is highly recommended that board users do not
share their accounts with others, nor share their computers used to access the

impact all known shared message board accounts. If you must share your
