When questioned, kw1k said that he had bought the laptop from someone named Jon, and you, Michael, was some random guy that he knew in high school and hasn't spoken to in years.

I really love this!

another one who turns out to be manipulative and dishonest in spite of his "apparent frankness". disheartening.

That is simply not true. I can provide proof that the computer he is using is my old computer. I am telling the 100% truth whether you believe me or not. I have ample evidence that I can provide in a private message from a moderator or someone that can prove all of this.

EDIT: I also despise the number of people here (in every thread of this vein) who suggest that he cheat his way back in by getting a second account, and offer him advice on how to avoid detection. It is because of people like you that many staff no longer offer help on this forum, and it will be because of you that the remaining ones will eventually abandon it. By creating posts like this, you are driving utility away from your community, and by driving utility away from it, you are contributing to its own eventual destruction. This is not advised.

Just to be clear here, I don't believe that FST condones such duplicitous actions, of any sort here. Idol, Cabalo, cine, and many of the other regulars here try their best to point out when people are attempting to receive invites under false pretenses, and they are dealt with accordingly. We aren't perfect however, and with a open forum such as this only so much can be done.

I am not trying to be manipulative at all...I am honest and just trying to get my account back. I can get references from power users that I know in RL and others that prove all of this.

Whatman, could you possible speak to me in private some how? Aim, IRC, or something so I can provide you with some names and other things that I would not like to put out here in public?

I can also provide photo identification, and get alibis from at least 3 other users proving everything I have said to be true.

I am not trying to be manipulative in any way or form...i'm simply trying to get my account back so I can contribute the community. If I was in fact lying and everything you guys said was the case, do you think I would be on here trying this hard to get my account back? I can assure you everything I am saying is true and I can provide ample evidence to prove ALL of this.

The reason why you were disabled again is simple. When you went into the disabled channel, you did not tell the truth and mention that you had had second account. When pyth3n found this out, he banned you again, for dishonesty - white lies are still lies.

In creating this thread, you've made me perform further investigation. Your second account was identified as cthuskies1988. It was invited by the user kw1k. When questioned, kw1k said that he had bought the laptop from someone named Jon, and you, Michael, were some random guy that he knew in high school and hasn't spoken to in years.

The stories don't add up. You say you sold your computer to kw1k, he says he bought it from Jon. So who are you?

That criticism, though I understand where you're coming from, is a bit unfair.
As Rart said, we're doing a genuine effort punishing people who lie here, and there are several examples in the past few months.
You raised a good point, but it's mostly a moral issue, i.e. explaining how to circumvent tracker's rules, and we haven't given much thought about that. The main issue is that it would turn us into censors, and that pretty much goes against this forum's general philosophy. As a mod, it's a big dillema we have here.

I delete posts counseling cheating and give out infractions if they are habitual or explicit .
I think that it's not even necessarily a moral decision on my part, it is simply protecting a shared interest.
Really you have to draw a line at some point and I don't think that that is being unfairly suppressive.

I wasn't asked about my other account...I wasn't trying to lie or hide it, it had been banned so I just forgot about it. I was simply just trying to get my map07023 account back.

[Tv Controls you]

These unfair banning from what.cd are just piling in aren't they?

Need I even say anything or do these multiple threads do it justice.

Its a great site, its just a shame the staff won't give members a chance.

To OP: same thing happened to me, move on is the only advice I can give you.
