    I've unbanned two users now and I can't unban this guy.

    Tell him that he has to wait for an admin to fix it...

    I suggest that you start a help desk ticket on it and see what the admin can do about it.

    Thaed

    so can anybody help Thaedydal to unban me.

    I think the problem lies in the backslashes/forward slashes in your username by the way.

    seamus; from PI.

    Must be to do with the same problem that the unregged posters have, nothing but backslashes in their comments.

    That's what I thought when I saw his username. Convenient that you left that line out of Gordon's PM by the way mate.

    It actually wasn't the backslashes, believe it or not. I was a little skeptical that ecksor's script wouldn't take account of them.

    The ban should be lifted now.

    and for your own information so you don't make the same silly mistake again. the problem wasn't with my user name.
    Charming.

    So, what was the problem? (as it wasn't a 'mistake' on Thaed's part)

    ask seamus.

    the mistake on thaed part was saying that it was my user name...
    it wasn't...

    and thanks seamus for sorting out the issue

    As far as I'm aware, she told you to take it up with the Help Desk forum. If she told you that it was your username then it was a hypothesis taken from me. Hence it is I that is mistaken.

    I really don't appreciate your snide comments to Thaed in that pm by the way.

    The problem was with your username.

    If you choose a strange username, then you have to accept it when sometimes things go wrong.

    Theadydal and Gordon don't work in IT. I do. I figured out why it didn't work purely because I have experience with HTML and PHP, not because I'm any more capable than anyone else. I'd be very surprised, given your track record, if you could show any more initiative than Gordon or Thaedydal.

    You'd probably just call the script an idiot and tell it that it's dumb because it can't figure out what you want it to do.

    Neither do I, if I'd seen that PM sooner, I would have left you banned.

    For your information, the next ban will be permanent.
    I suggest you play very nicely in PI from now on.
    I'm not as lenient as Thaed and I won't be putting up with the crap you've given her.

    Wait, seamus, are you saying that the problem actually was with this guys username?

    That's funny.

    The slashes would have been my first guess too tbh.

    This is what we call a "hypothesis", OP. Smart people use them all the time.

    While you're here ...

    I only ever see that username of yours in connection with annoying my moderators and trolling. If I see anything in the next two weeks (starting right now) that I feel qualifies as either of those things then I will site ban you for a month. I'm not going to go out of my way looking for examples.

    Yup, I wouldnt miss you either. I'm pretty sure you are a reincarnation but while you generally arent a pleasant poster imho, I havent seen something particular from you thats banworthy on its own. They are beginning to mount up though, it has to be said.

    Have you been on Boards before out of interest? (you can PM me if you like).

    DeV.
