This concerns the US and the author's own topic, which previously sparked such intense conflict that the author ended up getting banned.
Both posts have been deleted, leaving only my warning to the user and the author. It is true that the user's post was made last night; however, it was extremely brief, which is why I decided to remove it immediately.
Here is the situation:
The author started a thread here a while back, and his rhetoric was, to put it mildly, pathetic. After he got banned, one user realized he was actually just a clone account running under a moderator's permission, which is something that happened on Lumberjack before too.
After looking into those claims, it turns out Tyndall did grant permission to the previous author's identity. The author also confirmed via PM that the statement is accurate and that it is indeed a clone.
After consulting with Tyndall—who has given me full discretion over how to handle this situation—I have decided to extend an offer to the author. They may continue writing under a new pseudonym, provided they refrain from any further provocations, petty arguments, or similar antics. If not, I will be revoking their access immediately.
The author agreed to that proposal, and we reached an agreement—or at least, that’s how I recall it at the time.
And now we have this situation.
The author, despite feeling provoked by those subtle jabs at his Prime Minister, really should have known better than to react that way. Instead of descending into insults and pointless arguments within the thread, he ought to have simply reported the user. He failed to do so.
I have absolutely no intention of acting like some self-appointed hall monitor, constantly patrolling everyone else's posts just to make sure I don't miss a single instance of someone tearing a thread apart.
I was giving this some thought last night, though I didn't want to take any action until I had the chance to consult with others and get a second opinion. In the meantime, the author went ahead and opened this thread before I could even finish my consultations.
Sves and I have reached a decision on how to proceed:
Both the forum participant and the author will be awarded 500 points each.
Look, calling the author a maniac and throwing subtle jabs at his potential career under the Prime Minister is completely uncalled for. If there’s an issue, you report it properly, and I haven't seen any actual reports filed by Grace Kim80 lately. This entire post is nothing more than a blatant provocation intended to discredit the OP.
The author decided to pick a fight with Grace Kim80, even though he knows perfectly well that's against our rules. As for the actual content of his post, I honestly don't have anything to add. This serves as his final warning before we reinstate his permanent ban. I actually sent him a private message about this last night.
I request that the administration does not interfere with this situation: Sves and I have reached an agreement.
