Really nordlys, after the whole drama cools down a bit you want to start it again? This is bovine excrement!

Almost makes me wish there was some sort of reverse thanks function I could use to express my disgust

Click those scales on the post.

ChrisP is a nickname used by chrispedersen, who has neither been banned nor deleted. Bat/man has been banned but not deleted. I don't see any evidence of a user named chrisp. I don't see any evidence of banned user accounts ever being deleted.

pyg, Sombre, Omnirizon, hell even Wikd Thots are all still here, long after their banning.

???

The only thing that would make sense is banning all his accounts, just like they should have done when other dupes were exposed ;)

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Moderators
 

Well if he had a reason and was contrite then rolling the accounts into one has happened in the past.

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Moderators
 

You mean like with your old dual account wikd thots?

Well, then we have two cases where double accounts is obviously ok. They just ban the new account and lets you keep the old one, good to know. Bit inconsistent with the official rhetoric but whatever.

You guys are really something about digging up stuff from years ago. That might be a couple years farther back than even the blog incident. Wow.

Actually I was referring to something more recent iirc altho still enough years ago that many here might not remember.
My accounts were blended at the great site conversion along with lots of other people. That was when they did a huge update to the forum software and a bunch of things broke for awhile. The account blending for me didnt go quite like I wanted since my usual account login gp1628 was blended into my name account. But I didnt want to lose my "joined" date to fix it. Its kindof a pain to remember to use my full name to login with instead of the way I do hundreds of other sites.

Most of the blends at the time were for people who remade for reasons like forgetting their passwords or wanting a space login for Space Empires and a fantasy login for posting to Dom3. They all werent mass-banned. Just asked why and it was fixed if they said they would comply from then on. Most got the "chance to volunteer to be banned" conversation that used to be pretty standard altho that was back when there was more staff.

I think the guy you said was already gone long before that.

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Moderators
 

Chrispedersen had no valid reason for his double, it was made deceptively to get a clean slate from his very bad reputation.

And I don't see how there was any valid excuse for wikd thots either.

Both of those were much more clear cases where a total ban was warranted than either Calahan or Sombre.

It smells.

Afaik all of TWs got wiped (I think there were 3)
If CP did it for a clean slate then that wouldnt rate on levels such as a temp account to spam sales without getting caught, or to post offensively from an anonymous account, or to multiplay in games that didnt allow it. Those are common reasons for all multiple accounts to be held accountable. Especially if CP didnt use both accounts at once. I think the only offense would be not having deleted the old one.
But I can see where hardcore MPers might feel it was the most capital offense. :)
