I’m using a public terminal
I’m not. Neener-neener-neener!
I’m using one too.
I had no idea you wanted to know this.
Why don’t you put it on the sign up questions?
And the SDMB viewing public is supposed to care about the terminal you use because…
Don’t play dumb!
Where were you when TubaDiva came up with this gem
"How could we tell you were using a public terminal if you didn’t inform us? Are we supposed to be psychic? "
But you were clearly asking him to be psychic first!
Alphagene, I know you saw how TubaDiva was jerking around a guy all week, and a week after the only excuse she had to ban him was he had failed to tell her before she asked for it that he’d been at a shared terminal. And even then she offered no explanation of why this would matter.
You mods get so fucking creepy when you lie.
You always say people only get banned if they “cause trouble”, then demonstrate it by banning people left and right who had done nothing but use a public terminal.
And why the fuck should this matter! It doesn’t, you creeps!
TubaDiva, you shrew! Look at your own IP address. Now look at the one you had a day ago and two days ago. They’re different, aren’t they? And do you know what that means? Somebody else is using your old ones today and you are using theirs! That’s how it works! Nobody own an IP address anymore. Now please ask yourself the same asinine question you force on everyone else - “How are you going to explain having the same number as someone else? And be sure to tell us before we add the key words ‘at AOL’, or we’ll think you are stalling.”
We went through this when there was a couple dialing from home. They were banned, got things sorted out after being held hostage for a few days, and finally figured out what TubaDiva was asking: Why do you have the same IP? Answer, because we thought that was OK. TubaDiva- Oh it is OK unless we spot you doing it then you should have told up first.
**Immediately afterwards, we had thread after thread of people wanting to be on record because they shared a computer. **
And now it’s happening again??? What ARE the odds???
Stopped taking your meds did ya Pink?
Um Pink,
If you have a rant about the administration of this board, please use The Pit.
THE BBQ PIT - If you gotta flame, do it here. This is the place for all complaints and other discussion regarding administration of the SDMB.
In my opinion comments like:
and
are commments that belong in The Pit and not in this forum.
:rolleyes:
Wow, you sure are in a big rush to defend the OP, do you know him? Friend of yours?
Pink, my point was if this is something the OP felt that TubaDiva should know, he should have emailed her.
You see, by having this dire need to post everything out in the open rather than take it to email (which is the intelligent thing to do) Saint is essentially trying to make a big scene out of nothing. A cybertantrum, if you will. In fact he’s well on his way to being just another screen name who contributes very little to this board aside from Mod-bashing, which, by the way, belongs in the Pit.
It’s funny. richman2 did the same thing in a now locked thread. He also made a tactless post on this MB that should have been a simple email response to Tuba.
Friends with him too?
This is the mod lying (there is no better word) I hate. If you defend someone 8 hours later it’s called “a rush”.
If you find TubaDiva’s confusions unfunny, you’re a friend.
Guilt by association? Good motto for a “spreading truth” site!
But if yojimbo throws in his nothing babble it’s just because he logged on and this was at the top of the list.
I had the same questions as Pink, when I saw this thread, but thought I’d better lie low. Don’t rock the boat! Don’t stand out or Mysterecks will say “I have my eye on you”. How crreeeppy is that!
What I want to know is whatever happened to the other few people swept up in your last Dragnet? Or do we have to wait for each of them to wake up one morning, decide to post again and repeat this whole scenario?
They were never
I’m using a number at work, that only has 2 IP addresses, yet everyone is logged on at once.
How does that work?

What about the others who declared things are they suspect as well? They are right that there were others.
I can dredge up some names of couples, if I must, but they too will have no “board disruptive” behavior, I’m sure.
Better watch out triton277! Alphagene will find it suspicious that you chose to post this instead of emailing somebody!
Nessy,
For more information on this subject, this is how many networks are put together – What is NAT?
It may be a little technical but hopefully will give you an idea of how assigning one or two addresses within the scope of an internal network versus the internet works.
Nessy if you have further questions you might repost your question in GQ.
Uh huh. That public terminal looks like it could use some repairs. I suppose us mods are to blame for your incomplete posts and general gibberish, too.
Take your Evil Mod complaints to the Pit, that what it’s there for. If you are at all capable of following our very simple forum guidlines, you’d take your boat-rocking sob stories down there.
Quoth Pink
No, TubaDiva was not asking richman to be psychic. She noticed that he had the same IP address as a known troll, which could potentially indicate a problem. To determine whether it was a problem, she e-mailed him and asked, among other things, whether he was using a computer which would be used by other people. It took him several days of e-mails and board messages to finally answer.
Can one of these idi… people please explain what the attraction is? I mean, posting in ATMB all the time? Just venting on the moderators and administrators? Judging from the time you spend elsewhere on these boards, this place is of little importance to you. So why the concern?
I’m puzzled. I don’t get it. Really, I don’t.
Oh no…Pink, Roman Caudle, and La King are all together here. You know what that means, guys.

I am trying to figure out just who is MAKING these people come and hang out on this message board with all the ‘corrup’ moderators.
I mean surely they don’t have a choice about it. Otherwise they might just sod off into the sunset and find another message board where they can dictate terms.
I mean if I felt that strongly about the admin of a list or a message board I would go elsewhere… it’s a conspiracy obviously. They are forced to be here.
Chronos, Sorry to see this being brought up again, since I had planned not to post, and didn’t realize it was part of some larger debate, but if you’re going to drag me into things again, at least get it right.
A- I did go the email route for 3 (three) tries before posting to the board. The emails are in the neighboring locked thread.
B- No, TubaDiva kept asking me "What’s your connection to these other posters. The answer was always “none”. It wasn’t until I posted to the board that she started asking about computers, and even now I have no clue why public terminals or not makes any difference, in fact I’m quite sure after techchick68’s link that there is no difference and TubaDiva is simply confused about that.
C- The others involved were not “known trolls”. Look at their posts for Christ’s sake. They only have like 5 among them. Go look. You, Chronos, go look, and tell me with a straight face that any of them were trolls? No, they weren’t. They also probably weren’t notified they were being cut off any more than I was.
Find out what’s what Chronos. Don’t let MysterEcks and his singing tomatoes get away with distortions.
Go read the emails in order, Chronos, go look if any of the others were actually trolls, and then tell us what you found. The truth is in print on this board and it doesn’t side with the tomato singers.
