Are you still going to sue if they do that?
I seem to recall that threatening to sue the Reader was a ban-able offense.

Aren’t memberships only cancelled for bannable offenses? Just quit posting and the effect will be the same.

:dubious: Hello?! He was! He even said so! Go back and read the thread linked in the OP again, for comprehension. :rolleyes: ETA: On this message board anyone who has more than one account is a sock. This is because they want to keep all the posts under one name, all the posts stay with that person. Yes, they were a sock!

No you jackbooted pea-brained rule nazi, a sock puppet is created in order to deceive and create mischief, and no one with any functioning brain cells left thinks GazooII coming in and announcing, “hi everyone, I used to be Gazoo,” is out to to deceive anyone or create mischief.

…A lot has changed here in the three and a half years since paid subscriptions started, and if i’d been away for that long, i’d probably appreciate a chance to participate as a guest for a few weeks while deciding if i wanted to return full-time…

This thread alone, and specifically this comment:

… the guy who happened to run into the expression “pan-fried semen,”’ started researching where it came from, and happened on the SDMB, signed up and is trying it out.
[/QUOTE]
may be all Gazoo needs to decide whether to return.
Something tells me that intentionally, repeatedly mistyping another poster’s name, obstinately railing against the system without rhyme or reason, and using two underscores in a username all violate the “Don’t be a jerk”.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass, babe.
I was in the same boat at one time as Gazoo, but I just emailed Tuba a few months ago, telling her I forgot my password–she reset it for me, I signed up, paid and here I am. So I don’t think it was a very malicious banning–just procedure.

:dubious: Cute! Read my later post. I didn’t say I thought the guy should be banned, did I? BUT the way the rules are enforced here, a second account IS a sock. ***They did acknowledge the fact that he wasn’t up to troublemaking, they didn’t ban his first account. Only his second account, and that is fair! *** But a second account isn’t allowed, period. That is what the registration agreement said when I signed up, before the boards went to pay. ETA: And why argue with me, I’m not the one who enforces the rules?! I am stating what I have observed and seen explained by the Mods and Admins COUNTLESS times. Duh!

You guys won’t believe what happened to me yesterday.
There was this widget store that I used to go to awhile ago, back when I was into widgets. I hadn’t been there in years. But yesterday for no particular reason I felt like stopping in and checking out the widgets.
When I got there, there was a sign on the window that said – get this – “Welcome, valued customer, and thank you for shopping at Widget Warehouse. We’ve recently moved! Please visit us at our new location on 123 Maple Street, and have a Widgety day! Fred Smith, manager.”
Can you fucking believe the rudeness of that note? Fred Smith is a total fucking asshole. And when I tried to go into the store it was locked!
[/QUOTE]
What an insightful and useful analogy, you frigging moron. Here I thought the widget store would turn out to have changed into a paying membership co-op while you were away. When you tried to get a guest pass they said “go find your old free card, come back and pay, then we’ll let you in.” That might have applicable, if still tortured. But nooooo. You had to be completely retarded in your analogy crafting so your side would be soooo obviously proven.

Don’t be like that! It’s not all bad. Always a little rough in the pit, though.
See, now that you said you’re leaving, everybodys going to want to wish you a fond farewell…

Just fucking leave! It couldn’t be easier. And fuck you for threatening to sue. You want to go to court for half of a $14.95 fee? I don’t think you can even sue for an amount that small. Fuck you sideways.

You’re right, and now I’m going to change my second boy cat’s name because it’s tainted now. My cat who used to be named Otto will now be Adolf, because I can’t give him the name of a thief and a liar.

Yep, do this. TubaDiva will either reset the password/email, or help you register under a different name.
For now, I’ve got to ban this username. Don’t take it personally.
[/QUOTE]
Well, in the off chance that the rules have changed and now two wrongs do make a right, Congratulations!
I understand the rule, I understand they must be enforced. Still, these people (GazooII and cynical313) are not here to cause any kind of trouble. They are out and upfront about their situations and want to get them straightened out. Is the 4 cents of a day’s subscription so important that they can’t be allowed the grace to post while their situations are resolved?

If you had said “second account” instead of “sock” I wouldn’t have minded. As much. There’s a certain, how you say, “willy-nilliness” to the way the rules are enforced around here, and don’t let any mod tell you otherwise.
I like hanging around here most of the time. Duh. That’s why we’re all here. “This isn’t a democracy” is what you should remember, not “that’s the rule!”

While I agree that they’re not here to cause any trouble and appreciate that they were immediately upfront about their situation rather than simply trying to slip under the radar, I don’t think having to wait to post until everything is straightened out is such an onerous burden. It’s a message board, not a dialysis machine.
