I commented Stratadrake about this because according to Doomlord1234 and ForestChan he could help me, but go figure, a week later, not even a single word.

Although he talked to Doom when he asked and said he thought my account(LUAjake) was him using multiple accounts. This is not the case, and I'll gladly prove it. I will even take a picture of both me and Doom in real life, both on FAC right next to each other. Razz (Seems like pushing it a bit, but its actually not)

My forum account was banned and I can't seem to get any help or even a reason to why it was.

The Shriver Job Corp. IP address is the same for everyone, or so Doom said. So that is why, I'll gladly post on my computer at home if I need to clarify this even more.

All I'm asking is why my account was banned, can I be unbanned, and if I will be unbanned when will I be unbanned?

Cant be unbanned I believe. Also I think some people were mistaking you for a troll known as Solar. If you are Luajake. (Setzeroth being one of em.)

Also I wasent one of those people, I saw you as just a newcomer, no biggie. Plus you werent chasing me about yelling insults, another thing of proof that you werent solar to those who thought you were, that's his first calling card right there.

Just a case of mistaken identity hun, it has happened to amidarkfield and Ed, and to myself and my friend shadowschild.

Well, if I can't be unbanned, that's pretty much like throwing my account in the crapper. I can PM people like I've planned with this account, but its like being handicapped.

And sure, PMing isn't the biggest thing to give up, but would you still feel the same if you couldn't do it?

I'm sure you know where I'm getting at. Lets say a cop breaks your leg thinking you were a criminal. You turn out not to be the criminal. You still have a broken leg. Obviously you'll make haste with one, but of course 2 working legs is better. Derp.

Yeah I know what you mean.

Hopefully this can get resolved. Here's hoping. xP

I seriously doubt your forum account was banned, but forumside bans are in fact reversible. Tell me what username you want to lookup and I'll provide the specifics.

I will mention, for the record, that you share Doomlord's IP address. That's part of the reason this even came up -- you're both posting from the same access point, and since site staff have dealt with hardened sockpuppets in the past that's something we can't afford to rule out.

Can't quite find my forum ID. My forum account is the banned one, not the main site one.

Questionable, but that may be it.

Yes, the reason for the same IP is because we both exist in a place known as Shriver Jobcorps. It is located in Devens, Massachussetts. The place is a government facility that helps you learn a trade. Over here, there are multiple computers, for some reason with the same IP address. We are going to do THIS: Take a Picture of ourselves, and the computers, and us NEXT to the computers.

Shared terminals is not uncommon, however one of the hardened sockpuppeteers Strata mentioned used this as an excuse in an attempt to create a loophole. With the amount of trouble we have had over the last six to twelve months we have come to a point where it we have to assume the worst.

I also got the report of the shared accounts and I have been monitering them. The LUAjake account is not banned main side. There is a possibility that the shared IP got terminated during use by someone engaging in troll like behaivior resulting in the loss of access to all who use the IP.

Actually, the mainsite IP banning function only affects registration, not logins or general access.

Let me also add for clarity that site admins do not terminate sockpuppets simply because they exist. Shared IP addresses is an unfortunate fact of the Internet, it'is probably not going to change much in the future, so we take other factors into account, such as whether their behavior looks like a sockpuppet or a genuinely separate user.

So will I or will I not be getting my forum account back? This weekend I can log on my computer home even if the IP thing is still a problem.

LUAjake, you say? According to what I can tell, that forum account was manually disabled by admin. It was NOT specifically banned, at least not that I'm aware of.

FYI, the "account has been banned or deleted at the user's request" message is NOT a stock phpBB error message, and in a few cases it is actually a bug.

Yeah, saw that on the FAQ thread you posted.

Here's the picture by the way. Or better yet, pictures.

http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh188/WorldRecorder/Job%20Corp/

Although the whole me ==/== doom thing is already on the ground, it doesn't hurt to prove it even more.

So, Strata, what can I do about this? Anything?

It was not my doing, atleast not that I can recall. I have not manuallly disabled an account in that manor in several months.
