Complaints regarding administration of the SDMB

I am begging you admins.

Enforce the rules. You made a big deal of changing the rules a while back.

Use them.

I agree, we have obvious examples of people posting with multiple user names.

Please enforce the rules.

Thank you,

Maybe if you help out the admins and tell them specifically what’s wrong, then they’ll do something about it.

I really do think the admins here aren’t idiots. They know what’s going on.

It’s funny, back on AOL they would have done ANYTHING to get rid of Cyberian. Now he’s here, and it’s pretty damned obvious he’s breaking the rules, and they won’t ban him.

I’m all for free speech, but John John is breaking a rule that is punishable by banishment, and it’s being shoddily enforced. I really do think the admins should use him as an example. It would make the MB a much better place, as well as prove that the rules aren’t hollow.

The situation has been resolved.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I was afraid that I was going to have to go to Plan B, which involved a new and potentially obnoxious poster named Rekcirb. Whew. :slight_smile:

Just to review–if someone is banned for having more than one user name, are BOTH of the user names banned??

QUICK! Everybody go post a buncha new threads in all the forums! Let’s sink these losers down to page two PRONTO!

Ooooh.

Just noticed that last line of yours, Bricker.

If someone has two (or more) handles, we’ll generally write the user and ask which handle will stay, and which will go. We will allow further postings by that person, but under only one handle.

If you want to change your handle, write to one of the administrators, and we’ll help you through it.

If someone has violated other SD rules (don’t be a jerk and all its corollaries), and we are CERTAIN that this person also has multiple handles, all the handles are banned.

The real problem here is that it’s hard to really know if someone’s a sock puppet or another real person with very similar tastes and outlooks. Several people on the old board, for instance, thought that Opalcat and I were the same person. I was greatly amused by this idea.

. . . Sort of like the people that think (or thought for a while, anyway) that MajorMD and I were the same person.

Yeah! And the people that thought SmickD and I were the same-Uh, oh wait, we were! Now that we have split, life is so much better.
Hey! No Aaron stamper jokes!

Oh, no! An M.D. and a J.D.? Now that would be dangerous.

Are you saying John John is gone? Good grief, it IS the millennium!


When all else fails, ask Cecil.

He’ll be back. I suspect the SDMB is just as addictive for him as it is for myself and others.

One week, tops.


The odds that the bread will fall butter side down are directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.

Lawdy, certain ignorami… er, I mean fellow posters have implied me and Otto were the same person. Of course, I assumed they were the same as other ignor… er, posters of their ilk right back at 'em. Didn’t help.

I almost created one by spelling my handle backwards too, but curiously, someone already had it.
