How did the moderators get the notification that George Washington was me when I used my house computer to register as Richard Burns but I used the iPhone to register as George Washington?
IMHO people should be allowed to have as many accounts as they want anyway.

Why would you need more than one account per person?

Your opinion doesn't count for shit as far as number of accounts is concerned.:thumbdown:
Anyone else would have had their IP address banned a long time ago, so be happy and quit your complaining.

I call bullshit. Washington's post was so general there is NO way it could have been narrowed down to be me. Further more he was making fun of RB so you definitely wouldn't have pcked uo on it.
You're guys software somehow sniffed me out.

Short term memory loss? Remember all those "split personality" type posts you make against yourself? He signed up and jumped right into a thread and attempted to make fun of you. Oh and on top of that your IP matched up with his.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist but I can see how an RB would have trouble with it.:rolleyes:

Wouldn't really say that. He has a knack for exploding on anyone he feels is "censoring" him. He flipped out on jh104, a new member, just last night. Even went as far to tell him he wasn't welcome here. Seems kinda counter productive IMO:rolleyes:.

It's not about always having to agree with everyone on JU RB. It's about you not flying off the handle and doing things like making multiple accounts or telling new users they're not welcome simply because they see straight through your BS. Just because you've been here longer then new users that doesn't mean you can push them around.
Nor are you a mod, despite your attempts to act as such:rolleyes:.

That is one thing RB was doing. Thanks for pointing that out and making our argument stronger!:thumbup1:
It usually isn't necessary to state that multiple accounts are not allowed. We have always deleted them in the past, and he is aware.
Now the rules have been updated.

Some members are exempt from the rules.
But that's fine. It ain't right but some things are uncontrolable.
I might be missing something here but I see real life and the Internet as two very different things.
I hope those who have met me in person know how I am.
I thought the purpose of JU is entertainment.
Anyhow I'm not here to get in a pissing contest with the board. I'm here and I'm behaving myself and I'd like to keep it that way.

No, some users may get away with less of a punishment depending on the situation. However, habitual offenders will be dealt with more harshly. Different offense require a different level of punishment. From ignoring to warnings and even banning, it all depends on the situation.

I'd love to see proof. I did no such thing. I groan people under MY own user name. I made another account and groaned myself.
I see we stooped so low as to make false accusations.
So be it. You will not make me fly off the handle. I refuse to let you win. Keeping baiting me if you want to waste your time and energy because I will not give in.

I do not feel like going through and locating them, nor do I need to...since the above statement you just supported me by stating you logged in and groaned your own account with a different account. You also logged into different accounts and made posts.
If you don't like the rules, feel free to go, I'm sure JT will accept you or JREF or OU, or somewhere.
You are welcome to remain here though, don't take that the wrong way...but only as one person, not four.

The "because he/she is allowed to do it" argument is very valid in most situations. If one is allowed to do something than so should the others.
The way of JU having different rules for different people is equal to having no rules at all.

I'm pretty sure you would have gotten away with it if:
1.) You didn't abandon two accounts to make a fresh start and then log back into those old accounts drawing even more attention to yourself. (Usually we ban accounts when people no longer wish to use them.)
2.) Continually making digs at the moderating staff. Especially after every time your request to become a mod gets turned down.
Hey, I'm with you on trying to have some consistency with the rules. I'm also for allowing some leeway. Its hard to keep cutting you slack though when you continue to paint a target on yourself. No matter what, DK has the final say and if he's ok with one or two "extra" accounts that's his call. If you annoy him to the point where he wishes to ban your other accounts that's on you. This was probably because you used them to log back in after being temp banned (not a smart move). You had a good run with the multiple, yet similar, personalities, but it looks like that has come to an end. If you can cool it with the requests to become a mod (it got old after the third or fourth time) and declaring that the new RB is coming, every week, I'm sure that might take some of the heat off you. :)

dude, that's embarassing. if you want to be a mod, act appropriately and you'll eventually get asked. At least most forums work that way.
VBulletin is pretty damn powerful and scalable too; no doubt that your behaviors on a primary account looked damn similar to those of the additional personalities you sported. If anyone (a mod) really wanted to, they could provide all the proof that they'd need in a screenshot or two.
mods police other mods, out of the spotlight in mod only areas; that's just the way it works. Don't make this "all about you" because it's not. Frankly, none of us are so important that the mods would get together and find new/creative ways to torture you.
My advice: BaKON n WaFfelz for you; it'll fill you up, but not for too long.

Your other sigs that were deleted were not within the rules. Besides, what does rule 17 say? :) And you also continuously violate rules 18, 19, 20 and sometimes 24.
