he had his first a winner acount for 2 years, then created 2 more when he had problems using a winner, after he was banned i think hes tried 2 new ones, both have been stopped. his actions come mainly from not really understanding the does and donts of web use. i feel an e-mail educating rather than punishing would have helped him a great deal. but hey-ho, looks like the zero-tolerance police are out in force...

it seems sexism and racism will get you a short forum ban, but a bit of cheeky harmless rule bending gets you banned for life.

BFG and 2 other names created by this user were banned all at the same time in the same thread for multi-account abuse (there are rules here)
A winner was banned shortly after.
There are a number of other things this user has done, false accusations and such.
I don't think you have the whole story.

you should pay more attention to what people are writing before you suggest they are talking rubbish.

So you're saying there are even more names than the 4 we already know about?
All I know is that BFG and 2 other user names were all removed at once, your post reads like BFG was created only to play chess and once that was removed he made more names.

All I found were vague accusations and personal attacks on the admins and RHP.
I still stand by you not knowing what this user did to have himself removed, though having 4+ names in it self is certainly enough in my mind.

Originally posted by Phlabibitsorry if im not being clear, bfg was created a while back when he had problems with his original user about a year ago. he didnt use it to post until a few months ago, styx is a few weeks ago. im aware this doesnt make his case look good and again i stress im not defending his actions, they do seem stupid. as i was aware of what he was doing maybe i should of stressed to him that he would get a ban, but looking at the other stuff that goes on in the forums i thought he would just get slapped wrists.

Most are able to come back and enjoy the site as long as they stay clean and don't play the 'guess who I am' game.
