But as far as sam and zap goes, I personally never thought they were the same poster. It sounds like you are on a bit of witch hunt laced with some paranoia.

Lying? Not at all. As I said, your objection in this case really has nothing to do with me and you really should take it up with the web site's owners. I have never been banned, as you know, and this thread is about 'returning' banned posters sometimes being tolerated. I'm not quite sure why you are trying to sidetrack the thread. The Sam/Zapp case really has no ...[text shortened]... ou think posters who have been banned should be allowed to continue posting with impunity?
and
the Zapp Brannigan account User 646001 is also not banned and the user is able to post in the forums then
we must assume that the user, if they are one and the same, has either notified admin that he no longer wants to use the Sam the Sham account and has now become Zapp Brannigan - no different to you changing from one account to another
or
Zapp Brannigan and Sam the Sham are not related, other than in your mind
or
admin are happy that no breaches of the TOS apply regarding the two accounts, which may or may not be the same person, so making this thread pointless.
