What does it mean to wear a vest?

Vest is a network term. When a real person registers more than two (including two) IDs in the same forum to use at the same time, the commonly used or well-known ID is generally called the main ID, and the other IDs are called vest ID, which is called vest for short.

The general forum explicitly prohibits the use of vests to make trouble. Privileged classes such as administrators can find your IP and seal it, but if you are a dynamic IP or use a proxy, it is difficult to seal it.
