Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

Well, since even Promestein says that we should ban BigSmoke, I suppose that we have to do so. It is unfortunate though.

@Promestein

For how long should we ban him?
 
Ant you ******* banned Potato for less, why you’re so hellbent over this
I am not hellbent, and Potato gave me the impression of systematically instigating problems deliberately, whereas BigSmoke just seems to completely lack common sense. I just didn't want us to overreach and abuse our power too much.
 
I would also prefer to not overreach in this case, but I seem to be outvoted.
 
WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. ****. We are changing our decision based off a single person? He already had his warning Ant. This discussion should be over. This sudden change is utter bullshit. Man got his justice.

Unrelated to the earlier discussion, all I'll say is that this is not an appropriate reaction to a staff member's decision that you disagree with.

Be polite and respectful on this thread, please.
 
Reporting... my self for derailment. So could I be banned from content revision threads? I tend to get into a very bad habit of derailing and doesn't really help at all.
 
After talking to our system manager about the LordTracer issue, he has confirmed that the sock detection system is working accurately and there is no fault in it. However, he also said that there was only one out of likely hundreds of IPs that Tracer used that matched with Pan's and it was a corporate IP, meaning that it could have been a public connection used my many people and there is a very slight chance that Tracer just got unlucky and used the same one as used by Pan.

Considering their past actions and how Tracer had consistently good behavior that does not fit with Pan's, coupled with Pan's constant insistence on wanting to come back as his own account, we decided to give the benefit of the doubt to LordTracer and decided to unban him for now. He will still be kept under a watchful eye and if something's wrong, it will eventually come up with more clarity. My apologies if this inconvenienced him.
