really galling when people are dishonest about their real identities!
sure thing mj
lol I had āformerly mjkiddā as my undertitle for like two years, which is why you know that was me. But sure guy.
Heās not your guy, friend.
look buddy
Yup. Not doing this. Take your bickering elsewhere.
Which asshole is this and why hasnāt he been permaād?
Whoever has created a gimmick account to admit to creating an account posing as jman, which was of course done entirely to cause bickering and drama, so that they could use the new account to show a PM from a mod to create more bickering and drama should not only be permaād, but mods should check the IPs and out the primary account so that the community knows whoās sowing discord like that and can take that into consideration for future mod actions and voting decisions.
Like, I for one, would never vote for that person to be a mod knowing they did that.
Why do people think this is an infallible way of connecting accounts?
It isnāt.
Even outwith VPNs or anything āsophisticatedā like that, any time you connect your device to a new WiFi network, you will get a brand new IP.
MAC addresses are much more reliable as they uniquely identify the network interface on the device, but a thin client such such as this canāt capture those, unless it runs some sort of surreptitious script to interrogate the hardware on the client device. The Stars client was known for doing shit like capturing MAC addresses, querying other running processes, and even taking screenshots, for example. But to do that, it needs to run as a fat client with local admin (or similar) rights.
Itās someone with a distinctively British way of writing āsportā instead of āsports,ā and hateboners for jman and ikes.
Which narrows it down to like three or four posters.
Not me, guv. I like your detective style though, I too am a fan of using linguistic fingerprints.
No IP matches.
Yeah the problem here is moderation, not the bitches who do this kind of stuff because they canāt come to grips with their own existence.
Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of the opposite direction, i.e. no match != different user. I hadnāt even thought about your point of match != same user.
d2 seems very sus, Iām keeping my eye on him.
Letās drop the speculation/accusations about who the account was. All that is going to do is create drama when/if those posters return and feel the need to defend themselves.
Sounds like it was JonnyA, just sayin.
Looks like Kel got a 5 month ban but there is nothing in the log about it?
@moderators, any comment? The reason for his ban says āwrong placeā.
I hope I am not part of a community that bans Kel for being Kel, and surreptitiously to boot.
As a person, there are few people I could give less of a fuck about than Kel. But, I do care about the principle.
I mean, unstuck has the right to construct its forum the way theyād prefer. Or the poster stepped on RGBās grave. Goofy is correct here, I thinkā¦
There is obviously a partisan angle to this board, which is how it should be. This place can barely tolerate the existence of centrists, imagine right-wingers being here arguing about culture war shit that we all agree on lol
