RFC: Removal/Ban of gimmick accounts used to circumvent bans (UPDATED OP!!!)

What about accounts that are made to read when banned that then only engage in non-passive behavior like liking posts when the main account is no longer banned, and sometimes at the same time as the main account?

To me the wording seems clear that using alt accounts to post is only a problem when the primary account is under a ban.

Who could have imagined that team boot actually had no interest in reducing drama provided they were the ones controlling the narrative and the banhammer?

NBZ had a concern about using likes to continue ongoing feuds, which could possibly extend to the use of multiple gimmicks to heart posts sarcastically, as demonstrated above. I enjoy the antics personally. But team boot professes to being troubled about the continuing drama while also actively stirring as much shit as possible, and of course I’m fascinated by hypocrisy and love to point it out even though some are bored by it.

Shit I’m guilty and laughed at jman’s antics - you got me. But again, I’m not running around publicly crying about people stirring up shit while pretending that I’m innocent. That would be you and your pals doing that.

Well gosh, that’s why i amended his wording a bit.

Please, can you and @goofyballer please take your drama to the other threads? This could be an effective process without this pettiness from both of you. I didn’t bump this to provide another place for bickering. I bumped it to try to solve a problem that’s been brought up time and again in other threads.

We were having a productive conversation before this.

I was just providing an example of another angle shot loophole you might want to close while you’re still drafting the language.

that’s the kind of thing that might fall under “other actions determined to be hostile…”

What a dog’s dinner.

The distinction was not that it wasn’t specifically called out by your language, but that it was outside of your “if a poster is banned” exclusion, but still clearly an effort to stir shit, even when it’s funny.

I can live with that language, but what’s really important is using em-dashes.

:roll_eyes:

How would you propose re-wording it?

Maybe we don’t need to if we only want to keep it governing use of a gimmick while a main is banned.

Please vote to approve (or not) the wording for the following proposed rule:

Poll closes 8/19/2021. If a majority votes in favor of the wording, the proposed rule will be put to a forum-wide vote.

Why can’t they vote?

Yeah, I don’t care much about gimmick accounts and hadn’t paid much attention, but you get a temp ban and you can’t vote? Seems Floridian. You can’t vote twice obviously, but not once?

Have they tried not getting banned?
