If I sign my posts Timmy Tiger, and you then refer to me as Timmy Tiger, currently, I could get you banned, as per this case.

I think somebody made a decision without actually looking at the background. At least, when admin do this, they are normally man enough to admit to their mistakes. My recommendation to them is to search through MPP's removed posts, to where he boasts about not hiding behind an anonymous internet alias.

You are right about it being easy to get the information by googling. Just did that.

So are you saying that Russ needs to remove that latest rule for everyone then? If everyone is released from the rule, then I can support that. But since it's been declared people can be permanently removed from the site for this, whatever the rule is should apply to everyone.

You're right! I just found his real name with one search and then found loads of information on searching his real name.

Maybe Russ would consider an appeal against sentence

Hmmmmm. It's starting to sound like somebody, being made an example of most undeservingly, to set a precedent.
What can be done though to make the powers that be listen?
I have abused the forums on a multitude of occasions and only received a two week ban. This is starting to sound a lot more than ridiculous, and way out of line with any punishment anyone has received before.

Its not so much about removing the rule.

As I mention above, if I make publically available information, then how can somebody be banned for regurgitating that information, especially if goaded into doing it, as that troll did in some removed threads.

He's here to cause trouble and get attention, and this kind of thing is exactly what he wants.

It has been declared somewhere in the forums - most people, quite likely including Fat Lady, probably haven't ever read that. So I think he should at least be given another chance, now that he is aware of the rule. And as I mentioned in a different thread about this, it hasn't been enforced against a person who had read it and continued to post personal information, so it clearly didn't apply to everyone so far.

I guess my post already got deleted - you guys are fast.

You're lame, Park. I can't repeat what I said before because it'll just get deleted.

That's a bunch of nonsense! I don't mention my name at all in my profile. Not even my FIRST name. Nor do I mention what city I live in. Additionally, It was clear that FatLoser posted my perrsonal information with the sole intention of harassment and annoyance. This was a good decision and a necessary precedent in order to restore order to the forums.

It is not nonsense.
Google 'Merchant Park Blitz' and your real name is there for all to see.

Google your real name and there's lots more!

Nobody said you did. They just said that the information you give easily leads to your real name by googling, which is true. If you don't want that, you'd better change your profile.
