I have a confession to make

[sonambulo]

The name on the account is alkemyst.

Mods can go ahead to feel free and lock the account as well as ban the IP range. Sorry for any trouble this has caused.

Thanks in advance!


Situation has been dealt with.

Fine the sonambulo account has been banned until we verify this. If verified, both accounts will be locked. If not, you're on a one month vacation. bsobel

one month? seems someone trying to get another member banned like this should be gone for good.

It wasn't a difficult attempt to catch, but it still wastes our time verifying. Any other 'jokes' like this from him would likely end his participation here.

I think this stems from http://forums.anandtech.com/me...eadid=2230757#29586170 this thread.

Does that mean he will be banned?

If there are others who have done this, don't you prefer them to come forward?
After reading this, they will not be encouraged to.

What will you do if someone does this and you find out without them coming forward?

What am I missing?

Most of the thread.

sonambulo is NOT Alky (with a second account).

They are two different members, sonambulo was just trying to get Alky banned with his *fake* confession. If you read bsobel's post above you would see the link to a thread in OT where there was a little *tangle* between sonanbulo & Alky, presumably this is what led to this (lame and transparent) attempt at getting Alky banned.

Because this isn't OT.

Good call bsobel, I'm all for goofing around but not in forum issues. Mods have enough to deal with and threads here are supposed to be legit.

Where in the guidelines does it say that joking in PFI is a major offense?

The more applicable guideline is: "10) Post in the right forum. Topics posted where they don't belong will be moved"

#10 should apply to this thread 😛

No one said it was a major offense.

No, the words major offense were never used.

I think a one-month ban implies that it's considered a major offense 😕

I mean obviously the OP is a joke post. Who the hell confesses to having an alt account anyways? It's plausible that he posted in the wrong forum.

True, mod never used those words, and neither did I, Spartan did though. And I will now.


I'd agree with that characterization if it equals one month vacation for first offense and an "end of participation here" for the second offense. After all, "Permanent bans will not be given lightly and only as a last resort for members who severely disrupt the community."

Causing senior mods to pull IP records and verify a false claim is disruptive and wont be tolerated.
