What's happened to Dave's Account?

[GepperRankins]

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.

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.

manker pretty much hit the nail on the head. have you seen any log files where me and bob have exactly the same IPs as eachother, or are you just taking RPerrys word for it?

i reckon it could be possible that we had the same IPs on the same day even, but neither of us disconnected around the time he got banned. it's taken over a month for me to fall into the banned IP feild as well

Yes I do expect you to believe it. I believe it because I know Dave and trust him, he said that they were in different houses when the posts were made. Dave and BoB!1! were conversing on MSN at the time.

You've known Dave for longer than me so yes - I fully expect you to trust his word.

I said the post was bollocks because I wasn't trolling. In fact I'd been fairly polite. If you aren't bothered if how I feel then thats a matter for you but I'm a member who was politely expressing concern about how the moderating team goes about their business.

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.

No shit, so no IPs had been banned that night and the IP he'd been using for a month to post every day on this board wasn't blocked.

Well done, Miss Marple. How did you come to that conclusion.

Obviously, you needed to know the IP with which he was trying to access the board. Something already provided by Cheese.



So which is it?

Either you took ten hours to figure out how to lift the block or you thought Dave was posting as BoB!1! and you thought he should be banned but then decided against it.

we found it strange that they used the same IP within 30 min. so we needed to check that out, because it was possible that Dave used the bob account.

Being a member here for over 2 years doesn't mean its not possible he would post such a reply.

edit: @ ike


yeah it is possible that i'd post such a reply but i'd have to kill myself, if not for missing my own point but for the terrible grammar. (for those that never saw a bob post, it's worse than one of mine. or should i say "mine")

Ah, so when lynx said that the reason for the delay was because it was a bit tricky to lift the IP ban - he was talking thro' his arse.

Thought so.

[GepperRankins]

has anyone checked the log files yet?

I changed my post, it first said it was both. what lynx said and what I just posted. but I removed that line because it looked stupid with your quote (looked like I agreed with you that lynx is 'stupid').


There were some things that were confusing. but everything is fixed now...

Okay, mate.

Yes, I have seen logs of that, were you trying to imply that RPerry was lying? In actual fact there appears to have been a mistake in the IP that was blocked, it was the one you were using up until a few days before the offending post, which is why there was some confusion about how come it has taken a month to take effect. I could go back and tell you the exact dates, but to be honest I can't be arsed.

i reckon it could be possible that we had the same IPs on the same day even, but neither of us disconnected around the time he got banned. it's taken over a month for me to fall into the banned IP feild as well

If neither of you disconnected, then how could the other get the same IP? Caught by your own statements.

[manker]

Yeah, basically one of you would have had to have disconnected for you both to have the same IP if you hadn't previously. It's just the way it works.

Well self pwned, Dave - or should I say BoB!1!
