Site ban for Re-registering during a ban

EWheelChair2

I logged into my account this morning (EWheelChair), expecting a ban i got last week for some random "Krad" comments (a ban i acknowledged, and accepted) to be lifted. Instead it told me i'd been banned for re-registering during the ban, which i did not. One of the lads here in my office has an account, but its been registered for over a year i think. He says he didn't make any posts in the past week, but has been browsing.

Could someone have mistaken his account for me registering through our static ip?

I regret having to make this account this morning, but what option did i have.

Ironically now,You have set up an account to get round a ban.I think you are in a lose lose situation.

How else do you susgest i tackle the problem? Send the mods smoke signals?

The Prison forum?

E-Wheelchair(2) are you sure there is only one other boards.ie user in your comapny? Could someone else have set up an account during your ban?

Have a look at the banlist to find out who banned you (Beruthiel), PM the mod in question and explain your situation there.

I probably would have done this first before posting here

EDIT: Feylya, yep, that's what I thought too but wasn't sure.

Post in the Prison under the system menu

You can't post ANYWHERE (including prison) when your site banned, all you get is a screen stating your reason for being banned and for how long. No instructions on anything. Delete your cookies and you can view boards again, you go to prison, new thread, login with the account in question and you recieve the same screen again.

Beruthiel, seeing as you were the one who banned all the accounts, why not trying to help me on this thread instead?!

I'm half giving up at this stage.

EWheelChair3

And please don't jump-ban this account (like you did the last) untill you've either decided to keep the original account banned or release it. I've no other way of trying to clear this up. Can't get your email address anywhere.

I won't be posting anything outside of this forum untill you've decided what you're going to do.

:rolleyes:

It has already been explained to you. Use the EWheelChair account and just post in Prison forum. You will be dealt with there. Continuing to create new accounts does nothing to help your case.

I assume this means you can post in Prison when your site banned.

You yourself have had at least one account banned within the past year.

Your excuse of "it was my colleague who did it" doesn't really hold up. I can't go into the reasons why because of Data protection reasons, but let's just say that the information you provided us upon signing up gave you away.

Incidentally, the one person who has signed up from your location, and who has not been banned, is the one person who I would have thought most likely to be banned.

discuss it with the mod in question via PM. until then no mod will deal with you, except in the form of a ban. multiple accounts are a bannable offense... creating multiple accounts while banned is just giving mods a reason to not allow you to post here anymore.

I have just looked at said information, and yes, you gave yourself away EWheelChair

There are many ways to shoot yourself in the foot. This is one of those ways!

I wasn't able to post in prison when I was sitebanned.

Could someone pleaseclarify this?

So how long until we see EWheelChair4 then?

sean, Prison is broken at the moment. I've no idea when it's due back, but it's been out of commission for some time now.

Just My View

Is there an alternative to Prison available?
Without it there is no appeals process possible.
Even Saddam Hussein has an appeals process at his disposal.

Ah that explains the lack of new inmates. Polmki's getting really boring.

Hussein is the custody of what is now (susposed to be) a democracy. Boards.ie is not a democracy.

I think we all know at this stage that Boards is not a democracy.
Appeals are not just limited to democracies anyway, does the phrase "Royal Pardon" ring any bells?

If the Prison Forum is not the only conduit for appeals open to the banned what is its purpose?
Other than to allow you to taunt the unfortunates that is.
Why not just delete the forum and drop the pretence of fair redress?

DarthWraak

This is a 100% hunch tbh, but worth checking out

A new user called Krad? Mhhh, sounds familiar. EWheelChair4 perhaps?

seamus

Bloody Gamerz.

Cheers.

Good riddance.

Who was pretending that it's there for fair redress? It's not there for fair redress it's there to taunt people who fail to observe some basic rules. Visible demonstrations of what happens to those who fail to follow those rules is a very effective educational tool.

In the rare case where someone is unfairly banned they can use the forum to air their argument. This can result in them being unbanned.

I for one generally only taunt those I know were banned for good reason.

No bother, the "tends" part is quite important

Who cares? The vast majority of them are worthless scum.
