It's true. I recently created an additional account ("GoDiegoGo") in order to anonymously remind people what a great site this is despite the recent bannings, and Denny outed me. Somehow that strikes me as somewhat ironic.
Your effort was much appreciated, but the rule is the rule. It's not a bannable offense, tho. Simply, we think it's fine for someone to make a "Czar" username to make jokes, but we think it's in everyone's interest to know who it is.
It was GMJ, and we already posted it was him. The poster who claimed to be Beadle truly has an IP that does not match any that have been used by any other poster. It could be her.
Obviously, there have to be rules, and rules have to be enforced. In that particular case, though, I was a bit sad about it . . . it was something of a game, and I was relishing the opportunity to figure out who it was. Oh well, it's over.
If someone wants to clear such a game with us, we might consider letting it go for a while. We knew who Czar was for a while and let it go. We didn't out you right away either. If anyone cares, I have a 2nd login - Batman. I've posted as him a handful of times all as jokes. It doesn't really matter if Batman posts "same bat time, same bat channel" after the first of a back to back against the same team and people know it's me. It's either funny or not. Probably not
It's weird because this poster who may or may not be Beadle used the same handle on other sites to defend/comment on herself. This spanned back to a few years. -Petey
John Hollinger still does post from time to time at the apbrmetrics forum. So does Dean Oliver. http://sonicscentral.com/apbrmetrics/
i forget the name of it, but in the thread the mod's were joking around and changing everybody's response and writing it in red ink. It was really funny at the time like 3 months ago.
You now answer to me. I'm the new head Nets mod along with Joker. Your first duty is to hand over your mod title to Yi Sucks...err..I mean to Himuki.
