Just generally being a passive aggressive idiot across multiple threads. Got warned for it, then started sending abusive messages to mods. Was masking his IP to connect to the site so clearly a member whos already been banned.
Mid life crisis i think.
This is simply untrue.
I am on relatively intimate terms with ballard so can confirm s/he does not feel either of the two PMs sent to you could be considered abusive. If you genuinely believe they were then publish them here as s/he explicitly gives permission for you to do so.
As for the issue with masking IPs it is a wholly understandable precaution to take these days especially when we wish to avoid personal identification in this virtual world to creep into the real one in which we live, play and work. An IP address can be as unique as a fingerprint and if security is breached access to virtually unlimited personal data is a real possibility. Nobody wants their personal space violated do they Charlie? If you are going to assume everyone using TOR is the same person then you are potentially looking at nearly half a million multi-nics.
Moderator transparency, fairness and honesty has been an on-going concern for this site and as long as individuals with moderator privileges continue to operate without a publicly available playbook as to what is and what is not in or out (forget the site guidelines as most ‘transgressions’ fall well within what these consider acceptable) and without any obvious sign of overall control by the management then these types of situations will occur again and again.
A management review of the moderation system, quality and the current team is long overdue.
Note to mods: even if you decide to delete this post as you did the two ballard posted yesterday asking for clarification of the infraction system some will have seen it and that will be enough.
