Getting On My Soapbox

[Andromeda]

I had to get someones attention because again, a MOD wasn't doing their job and permabanned Che because again, they didnt know what they were doing. See a recurring theme here?

And on a side note, we want more members, but what if chad was a new member and got permabanned for something he obviously didn't do? Jesus christ kiddies.

Alright, time to set the record straight since everyone is lacking a few details that actually changes the situation totally.

First, the reason that the account Chad was banned was because when doing an IP change it only came up with Block's IP.

Second, the reason why Chad's account was banned for being associated with Block's IP is because Block was banned and we always ban any accounts related to the IP, especially given that Block had a history of several attempts to circumvent the ban by creating new accounts.

Third, the reason why only Block's IP came up was because Che's account was deleted and not banned, thus meaning that it was removed from the system. This resulted in all of Che's IP being removed as well and thus never going to show up in an IP search, which is what we use to match accounts to each other for the purpose of banning additional or circumventing accounts.

With these facts available it is pretty clear that it was a very easy to make mistake with any evidence of Che's account having been wiped. So as a staffer if you checked the IPs and found only Block to be related, who had a history of trying to circumvent his banning, what would your reaction be? Answer, you'd think that Block was making a new account.

Checking IPs is not 100% accurate, but it is a fairly uncommon case that two different members would be sharing the same IP (i.e in the same house). It obviously happens, but it's an exception. The remaining facts about the who Chad was became known and it was fix quickly.

It's not fixed though, according to che, he can only view threads but he can't send any posts/replies/vms or anything.

I checked on his account and it is in the awaiting email confirmation member group. Which would probably explain why he is unable to do anything at the moment. I'd ask him to check his email to look for the email confirmation. That should fix the problem and get him to set as a regular member.

If that still doesn't work, we'll need to get an Admin to edit his user group since S-Mods do not have that power. So I wouldn't be able to fix it.

This post needs more Che, let him back in... RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

And if any of you fucks bully Oceaneyes again, I will fuck your shit up!

Now please.... continue...

I don't know what is going on. No one invites me to chats anymore.

However, I feel qualified enough to say that people here are babies. You really should not let other people get your kicks for you.

Uh that might not work.. I had the same problem when starting up since the email wouldn't work but I sent an email to the admins. and they were able to activate it

I'm not sure if someone fixed my account last night, or if it was me. I sent another e-mail activation since the first one didn't work and it started working a bit after that. Thanks whoever fixed it, if it wasn't me. Lulz.
