Rhody isn't banned, it's a glitch

Evo

I just want to assure everyone that Rhody has not been banned, it's a glitch caused by an update he tried to make to his profile. We're hoping it will be fixed soon.

JaredJames

Hmm, sounds fishy to me.

I know you like banning people in chat, but that behaviour should stop there .

Worst cover up attempt ever.

Evo

Honestly, I wasn't playing with the ban gun. I was no where near Rhody went it went off.

Really.

Borg

That's good. It would be a terrible if Rhody was told to hit the road.

At least hope he's wearing his race leathers with the webbed fingers.

Borg

I love a good software glitch. It would be interesting to see how that happened.

Thanks for letting us know, Evo.

It is not clear where the problem is, but it is not the first time something like that happens. When you change the email address you have to confirm it clicking on the link that is sent to you. If the email gets lost you end up with a locked account as he did. Sometimes it is just an email that landed in junk folder as filters classified it as a spam.

Looks like it is happening more frequently lately, we are not sure if the problem lies within PF or if it is external.

Could be there is something more in the Rhody's case. We don't know yet.

The problem is Evo being given a ban gun.

Does he have a temporary sock puppet?

Evo

I was just thinking that since this may not be fixed quickly, he should set up a sockpuppet.

JaredJames

Can you not just unban him or resend the email?

I never see the point in sock puppets for these matters, nobody knows who you are and when your account comes back you lose everything posted with it.

Evo

He's not banned, it's that his status is unregistered. Only an admin can reset him and Greg is unavailable and chroot hasn't responded, so we just have to wait for one of them.

If we had the old system of a banned member with a line through his name, he wouldn't have a line, he'd just look greyed out.

I think Rhody. would work as far as being recognized, it would at least let him post so he doesn't feel cut off.

JaredJames

Hmm, going cold turkey could certainly prove problematic.

Borg

That sounds like more of a security feature to keep the accounts from getting hijacked. I'm assuming that the email goes to the old account. Of course that's a problem if your email account changed months ago and you no longer have access to it.

Evo

Rhody!!

Evo

From Rhody, where ever his soul may be trapped...
