Latest WF dirt: Staff conduct with new accounts + bonus

Newest board mishandling exposed.


Gonad wanted to register a dual at WF. I suggest "Disgruntled TKer" for the laughs. She changed her mind and didn't want to post with it.

So I did. She also registered a second dual. I suggest the name "Omega Weapon."

Disgruntled TKer was let in within 5 minutes, stamped and approved.



Omega Weapon, registered right after DTK, was eventually deleted once Nick saw what was going on. I use the term "saw" loosely because his blunder was legendary in terms of lulz.

After I first posted as DTK, he almost instantly posted "Hi Gonad." He continuously claimed he was 1,000,000,000% sure it was her. After his brain got its second wind and dose of oxygen, he further inspected the account and figgered out it was moi. He is now possible under the impression Gonad and I are the same person, and even claims our IPs match (How he could look at two different IPs and claim they match is BEYOND me.)

OW regged a few minutes after DTK. No one seemed to bat an eyelash at it, but they were apparently drooling for DTK.


Ever wonder why no fresh blood comes in? This is how your staff handles account registrations.


This episode has revealed a number of things:

1. The staff is ready and on call. If your account is not getting through, it's been handed over for further inspection or ignored entirely. Although how you can filter out normal-looking accounts with normal-looking e-mails and choose one over the other (*cough*DTK*cough*) is also beyond me.

2.

The rule is that duals can stay as long as they are entertaining. Unfortunately for the people that run these duals, they don't get to decide whether or not its entertaining, the staff does.

It ceased to be entertaining once other people started registering a dual for each other and playing pass around the account, so I got rid of it.


The talk about a dual's entertainment value or lack thereof is a lie. The staff simply has it in for me, and now has it in for Gonad.



You have been banned for the following reason:
Zodiac, if you want to be let back in, email Elwood. Gonad, don't make accounts for other people.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never
Apparently, the moron who wrote this assumed Gonad to be sitting on my lap with her arms wrapped around me. Perhaps tickling my ear. Anyway.

We are left with an interesting question. Why should the staff care whom Gonad makes accounts for? Does it confuse them? Why this level of control over the registration process? HMM.

Though, at the end of the day, what we are left with is always what we're left with: The staff doing its best to manipulate the rules in order to save itself a headache. Or minor annoyance. Some "hard decisions," huh, Nick?

Thank you for delivering yourself into the palm of my hand so swiftly. Generous thanks to GTC.
 
You either allow duals, or you don't. Having this in-between policy creates more headaches than it's worth.
 
The underlying poster was told that he can't have any duals until he talks to Elwood and straightens things out.
This is a flat-out lie, and I needn't straighten anything out.

Or so I thought.
 
Aye. I thought you'd asked for the Zodiac account to be temporarily locked.

So, I'm not sure what's to straighten and why it matters more that another username has been registered while locked than if you registered another username while unlocked. The results are the same.

:mystery:
 
The fact that this was posted in a forum invisible to me doesn't sit well with me. Could someone perhaps start an HD thread regarding this new development?

Why don't you just PM elwood to ask to have your Zodiac account opened up.
Because I don't have to. I won't rub your face in the crap troll attempt (PM?). I'll simply continue registering dual after dual after dual, until I hit one which will "interest" you fools.

Of course, my patience has limits. After the 5th or 6th dual which gets approved (Or removed. I have a few sleepers), I might devote my time to flooding the board with a proxy.

That's a head scratcher. Why should he? He had it locked by request. He wasn't banned. Why can't a simple request by a non banned member be handled by any Admin? What's the deal here? Making him jump through hoops he shouldn't have to just 'cuz he irritates all of you?

Oh no no no. It has to be an official e-mail to Elwood. Simply forwarding any such request, even through an admin, is not enough, Mark.

Every dual you make will be deleted.

It's not fair for you to have 3 warnings on your account and make dual after dual, as a matter of fact, it defeats the point of warnings.

Interesting. I'll have to make more now.

Oh, and BTW, don't try to cover up the impropriety of the staff by implying that my duals will be deleted, when UkraineNotWeak, a different person altogether, couldn't possibly share my IP.

I have done nothing warning worthy with my other accounts. I asked for my account to be locked for 6 months, after which time they will vanish. Please don't mewl about what's fair and what isn't, because we all know you'd find a way to attach any warnings to my main account anyway.

It's time to stop the touch & go policy regarding duals, and think up something concrete.

and then Elwood ignores e-mails on top of it. then he calls you a liar. then just ignores when you prove that you were't lying

In the past, where a poster has not made specific arrangements for their identity to remain secret there have been plenty of occasions when a new account has been merged into the old one. Multiple accounts belonging to the same person have never been seen to be completely different to each other.
 
Zodiac got exactly what he deserved. He deserves no pardon. He's only there to cause mischief, and Wordforge can't have that.
