I have a couple questions/messages for you, and I figured that I could get other people's opinions on them also (so I made a thread instead of a PM)
Questions
1.) Was my thread locked because the topic was spam? I was trying to collect various people's thoughts on a loving and caring creature, so I can improve the goat's life style. I didn't think that trying to help out such a beautiful animal would be spam.
2.) Was it locked completely due to my spam? (IE: If no one else posted on it, would it have been locked?) Or did the poster's contribute to the lock?
3.) If none of the above, do you have a secret fear of goats? If so, that is OK. Everyone is afraid of something, I can just remake the thread with a sheep if that is the case.
4.) Why didn't you tell me why it was deleted the first time? :'(
Comments
1.) Sorry for my shenanigans :(.
2.) Please don't banhamma me!
3.) Your the coolest admin :-*. (Yes, this is sucking up to you)
Sorry if this is considered spam also. I/you can delete it if necessary.

You know, of all the members that are sure to get banned eventually, I'll miss you the most. =(

What happened? Not A Troll was a lot of fun :'(.
-
Schaef understandably probably banned him. I am saddened and yet understanding at the same time.

Basically this, though I am a little curious as to why Schaef banned him so quickly. There have been much worse members that have gotten away with a lot worse, and I can think of one or two members that -are- much worse than he was. Ultimately, he was a fun member who, for a day, was extroidinarily entertaining. He even made on-topic posts about Redemption in other areas of the site. I kinda understand, but at the same time I felt like it was really, really harsh.
-
It's clear he made a second account just to mess with forum rules, so that's justification for a ban in my opinion.
-
I wasn't aware of that; who was he?
-
I don't necessarily know, but it's pretty clear he was/is a member based on the quality of the trolling and the inside jokes within the trolling (such as schaef related nonsense).
-
Anyone thought that maybe Not A Troll deleted their own account?
-
Also a legit possiblity. I prefer my schaef based conspiracy theories though.

It's OK Shaef I know people who know people, we will get over this together!
-
I dunno, I never thought that. He seemed like he was just clever. Trolling like that isn't really that rare on the internet, he could have stumbled across it. As far as the Schaef jokes go, c'mon, it doesn't take someone especially bright to think of them. Schaef just happened to be the person who yelled at him first.

Schaef threatened to ban him in another thread; it's pretty obvious he did it.
-

I think this is a lot more likely. Schaef has been really generous with all the rule breakers in the past it seems like.
I haven't been on the boards as long as most of you, but I don't remember him ever banning anyone.
To Chronic Apathy: Yes, schaef threatened him on the other thread. However, I've been looking around at some topics around here and haven't seen anything of his (aside from this thread) after that warning; and I don't think The Schaef banned him for this.

Similar to the Gandalf the White conspiracy?

I was thinking somewhere between the scope of FDR caused Pearl Harbor and We never went to the moon.

He was clearly a smurf, yes, but smurfs are always entertaining.
-
I agree, but it's against forum policy to second account.
-
I could create a 2nd account now, and none of you would know.
-
It was him! Clarinetguy097 is Not A Troll! Arrest him, Schaef! :police:

Atleast you know it wasn't Colin or SoulSaver!
Wait... how would I know he told you that? :dunno:
-
How do you know it wasn't me?
Also, could "Not A Troll" please PM me from their second account? I'm dying of curiosity and you know that you have my guarantee to secrecy.
Janissary specifically asked (over a PM) if Not A Troll was you or SoulSaver.

Well, I asked about Soulsaver over the PM based on the kissing face. Colin was more like a throw on, like hey, this is the sort of stuff Colin would do. In retrospect, he would have done it about more serious topic.

It's not that hard for an Admin to find out who's using a second account from the IP(s) that the post are being made from. I know of another unnamed second account spammer who got in a little trouble a while back for his chicanery. His dad wasn't to pleased with his shenanigans. :laugh:

I went through the trouble of hiding behind a proxy though :3.
-
well, he just admitted he was hiding behind a proxy. kinda hard to track that down unless you're an IT specialist.
-
Yeah, if you can hgandle the clunkiness of a proxy, it would work for sure.

i'm sorry scheaf but i had to laugh at that.that was just priceless :rollin:
-

I love conspiracy theories. They make life more interesting, even if they're totally off-base. But I have personal stock in the actual moon landing. I know for a fact it happened; my own grandfather worked on the Apollo 11 crew. He helped build the lunar rover and the "little joe" rocket.
-
Psh! Don't you know the government paid him millions to lie to his family and friends? :P
-
It was him! Clarinetguy097 is Not A Troll! Arrest him, Schaef! :police:
No, it's not me. I wouldn't do anything like that :laugh:
-
If i had to make an accusation I'd say it's Ringwraith but that's just me...
-
I agree, but it's against forum policy to second account.
Why? let me logout..... ::)
-
Rawrlolsauce already said he was Not A Troll for those who haven't seen his thread yet.
-
If something like this really becomes a problem, it is not at all rare for message boards to ban the IPs of common proxy servers.
