What's happened to Dave's Account?

[DanB]

Thats correct, and thats the exact Pm you sent to me. At that point I had not mentioned Dans name to you, though I did indeed have a match on his name for that IP. I never contacted Dan about that at all, only you SnnY.

Yes, I know that, and I told you then I was going to tell dan.

So he didn't try and use a banned proxy to get here.


Not attacking anyone here, just stating facts

That is true, it was SnnY that told me of the aspersion being cast against my good character

[GepperRankins]

Well done mods.

I've already told you how it's possible that they posted from different locations yet had the same IP.

That's exactly what I was talking about when I said it appeared he could change his IP. Otherwise there would be no way that TheDave (aka GepperRankins) and BoB!1! could have the same alternating IP address within such a short space of time.

Anyway, I'm just glad he's back on the board.

Welcome back The Dave/Gepper.

Phew...one problem solved....a mod's work is never done... :sigh:


Now....

That just proves is IP is dynamically assigned - not that he can alter it at will. My point was that at the time, either Dave or BoB!1! rebooted and, by chance, reconnected to the same hub/proxy server that the other was connected to.

I also said that their IP could change every time they disconnected or not at all. He can't do it when he likes - it's down to chance (whether there is a free slot in the last hub they'd connected to).

He'd tried several times to alter his IP but it wasn't working. I'd already posted that too.

FFs people!!

The Dave/Gepper Rankins is not banned, nor is he being penalised for any wrong doing or anything at all. Give us a break!!

We are sorting it out...have a little patience and stop being so bloody paranoid and uppity. Anyone would think that he had been actually banned for no reason and we mods/admins were being gits!

You lot know it aint the case and you are just trolling.


As for the Billy thing, I rather got the impression that people were enjoying the opportunity for a bit of a flame war.

That's just bollocks.

I'd explained the situation with his IP and shown that he and BoB!1! could have been using the same IP at that time. I'd explained that some ten hours before the ban was lifted.

To sort it out required a few clicks to remove his current IP from the block list but posts were made by members of the team which unequivocably stated that you lot thought either Dave was using BoB!1!'s account or that BoB!1! was using Dave's computer.

Implying that Dave either made or condoned the racist rubbish that BoB!1! posted.

Which would have offended me if I was Dave.

I completely stand by my posts.

[Peerzy]

Correct me if im wrong but can't you change your ip through CMD?

/ip release
/ip renew

Or something like that?

Do you seriously expect us to believe that for weeks on end Dave had the same IP, but by some miracle there was a half hour period when Dave lost that IP, Bob gained it, then lost that IP and Dave got it back again? And in between he just happened to make that offensive racist post. Please, go and take a reality pill.

It is quite obvious that the post in question must have been made from Dave's pc, and I'm certain that Dave knows it. But that doesn't imply that Dave made
or condoned Bob's post.

If that offends Dave, I'm sure he's capable of saying so, quite frankly I don't particularly care how it makes you feel since it doesn't involve you.

The reason for the delay in removing the IP block is that the blocked IP was not the same as the one he had been using for the previous month, which caused some confusion.

[JPaul]

If you do that it gives you the same IP unless someone else has taken it, I think. But then I don't know squat about these things and just make stuff up as I go along.
