Why shouldn’t people refer to the poster by using the alias he most commonly uses himself on the World Wide Web?
It’s like someone calling himself Bob in every bar in town apart from one, also frequented by some of the same people, where he insists on being called Bill.
The previous screen name for all of these users has been added to the forum filter, so the request to not post their previous screen names has been removed from the OP.
This was the post that I was banned for a week for and threatened with a permaban:
Like I don’t even understand the rationale why cuse rounder can’t be referred to as cuse rounder. It’s not a reasonable request and I certainly don’t understand why anyone should humor it. Let alone why you think you should ban someone for a week or forever for typing a pseudonymous name in a word box. And not only that particular name, but ANY old name? Like explain what the hell is going on here. It’s insane.
At the time, otatop didn’t even have the “by user request” in his edict. It was just “don’t call people by their old user names”. He edited that “clarification” in after the fact. And then implied that I broke the reasonable rule against personal information. A vile lie, he just gleefully banned someone he despises for the grave crime of Not Obeying. Very serious, to be sure.
This is a fair point because 6ix doxxed grue the exact same way AQ did but because of the moderation history and rules here I have to pretend 6ix just coincidentally posted the exact same thing and hope that he won’t do it a week again from now.
No, it wasn’t in the OP, but it was in a string of replies between us
And then you made your post you quoted.
I don’t despise you or anyone else on here, no matter how many times you accuse me of it.
Oh? Why did you falsely imply I linked rounder’s irl personal information with his usernames here? Just a little bit of fun, ban a user for for a week for literally nothing and then lie about it. I’m sure you’d do that to any poster here.
And then does it in his first post back. Solid work.
Actual consequences and following through are important. Otherwise you get no changes in behavior and you’re actually encouraging further temper tantrums. SK and his buddies know they whine enough, they’ll get out of the consequences for their actions. It’ll just be worse next time… and there will be no changes in behavior as evidence by above.
don’t call me Barbra here even though I have called myself that in the past, and currently do in a million other places including multitudes of my own posts here. mkay
Sure? Failure to do so shouldn’t result in a permaban, especially if there’s no articulable harm. Like if rounder’s old username was some derivation of his actual name? Sure. There’s an easily articulable harm there. A capricious demand to never mention his old username when there is no such harm, and no explanation for it? Of course people shouldn’t be banned for failing to comply with that.
That guy’s IP only matches @tralalalala and adding the word “victor” to the filter would catch other words like victory so I’m going to decline the request but can certainly add dntTaseMeBro_orDOXme.
