I think some people sock up and avoid the behavior that got them banned. If they can be good participants in the board, then I’m happy to have them. I suspect those people are in the minority of socks and most are trocks.

Continuing the hijack despite @Aspenglow’s request to drop it.

ETA: considering the recent posts, TPTB may just go straight to dropping the banhammer.

The ones that get noticed generally are. No one really pays attention to a new poster unless they act up in some way.

In theory someone could let something slip and be identified that way, but I can’t think of an example where that happened. I don’t remember there ever being a poster who was perfectly well behaved, but accidentally let something slip so that we realized they’d been banned before.

I was kinda feeling sorry for the OP until they decided to call a couple mods “cruel.” That seems a rather dumb thing to do when requesting leniency.

At least we can say “good riddance” to **KennyT** , and kudos to the mods for a good job. What an insufferable asshole!

Dolf just got a warning and a threadban, at the least.

You linked that thread from here. That’s practically an invitation for **dolf** to start in here instead.

Yes, that is why I posted the forum and thread title in plain text and didn’t include a link to either the thread or the user profile.

ETA: They are suspended for the next 30 minutes according to their profile so we at least won’t see anything until then at the earliest.

Ah. Well, I’m not a big fan of talking about people behind their backs. Anyway, he’s likely not long for the board, so try not to get too attached.

He sounds like the bastard child of Octo and Asahi, spouting rigid politics + hysterical rantings.

You want I should hide, or watch? I mean to say, if I hide, I can’t rightly watch.
