Banning for no reason is not okay.

Archive: 29 posts


My brother today got banned. I showed him this website because he recently bought a PS3 and came home from the miltary. He was visiting before going home and decided to register. He is a very random person and being that way if he sees something he likes he will take it. In turn, he made the username ***** on here. now he is banned because he wanted to help me out and give me some feedback on my new level. I do not really like to let people know who my brother is on here, so i kept it a secret, and today my brother complains that he got banned from the website, so I go on and check my F4F thread, and his posts are gone. This got me upset because I thought that this website was supposed to be user friendly, but by doing that it shows that they moderate on a hunch......Please fix this.2010-04-19 06:17:00

I don't know the situation here but there must have been some reason why he was banned. I'm almost certain he wouldn't get banned for just leaving feedback on your level, there has to be more to it than that. Maybe PM a mod and ask politely about what the situation was that caused his ban.2010-04-19 06:32:00

Check with the mods - it may be that if he created the account on your computer it had the same ISP which usually they see as multiple accounts from one user, which isn't allowed. It may be an easy fix. Check with them via a private message.2010-04-19 08:35:00

Yes as Morgana said, check with a MOD. They would'nt randomly ban someone for no reason 2010-04-19 08:57:00

Since you wanted to bring it into public light, let me explain my reasoning.

1) This is the origin of the username, from the LBPC:TG thread:


Honestly, i doubt you're going to guess who ***** is before the game is released He's one of the few characters that don't relate to their avatar... or at least the avatar i'm used to seeing. The character was designed after what a ***** is, and not what *****'s avatar looks like But cheers and good luck with that ;p


Why is everyone talking about me? I am getting scared. *gets in the fedal position and rocks back and forth*


Ok nice joke *****. I know it's someone here. Own up. Come on. That account was just made. I say it's Rock! Yes i am blaming everything on Rock now, for like everything.


Yeah I completley agree! Except, I think it is hmmmm....SpookyBuz. IDK That is just my guess. XD

2) Your registeration e-maill address is theonlybub@yahoo.com. *****'s registered email address is theonlybub@gmail.com

3) Same registration IP address.

4) Feedback on your new level was given by ***** and neither party made any recognition that they knew the other party. The original posts, which were deleted, read:


Cool! I will have to try this out right now! I will post some feedback, but I don't need any in return.
I will be back in about 20 minutes.


Your level was awesome! Everything was created very precicly. I hope that you come out with more of these minigames in the future. I can't wait to show this to all of my friends they will love it! I hope that everyone on LBP central plays this level. it is so much fun! I feel like playing it over and over and over. I hearted it and gave it 5 stars. Too bad it is only 4.

----------

Now, I have a hard time believing that things have played out as you described above. The banning was done for a reason; several reasons, in fact. The username was clearly created as a joke in the LBP:TG thread. I stand by what I've done, and it is evident to me that you are trying to clear your tracks.

For what it's worth, the date of birth on the secondary account indicates that ***** is 17. This would make him ineligible for military service.

Thank you, and good day.

Why does it matter if my brother and I have almost the same emails? That shouldn't mean anything.

EDIT: and about that conversation, I told you that he was the most random person I know and that I didn't want everyone to know that we are brothers. So, now what do you have that can back up your statement and keep my brother from visiting one of the only great sites for LBP.

One of two things can happen at this point...

1. You can either let it go and move on.

2. You can continue to lie and turn this into a nasty situation.

It's really your choice, and not mine. We are not going to make you feel bad about this... grudges are not my thing.

That said, if you have any relatives that would like to join the site, nothing is stopping them. We would ask that he or she choose a username that is more befitting than *****, which would've probably been addressed regardless.

Again, have a wonderful day.

Comph, may I say, you'd make a fine detective.

Picking up on such small details...

Well done, Sherlock I mean Comphermc...

I'm told him to use his random PSN name. so is he allowed to. he just got a new email address....
I don't understand why everyone is saying you are a detective because I didn't do anything wrong.....
This is so annoying.

I don't understand why you won't just accept that it is my brother. Why do you think I am lying. Everyone does this to me and doesn't care. Just STOP! I am so angry. I just got in trouble today because my dad thought I was lying but the truth is my brother was and now you. Please leave me be and just let my brother back on. dang I thought this was going to be simple.

I believe comphy made it very simple: If a relative wishes to join the site, have them sign up using their actual information. It doesn't take a detective to figure out that your story doesn't entirely add up.2010-04-20 03:31:00

... regardless of what the case is, the fact that you said the account belongs to your brother who is in the military, and that the account is listed as belonging to a 17 yr. old, doesn't look good.

So that appears (at least appears - I'm not trying to accuse anyone of anything) to be one obvious lie right there. Not to mention the shared e-mail address name (which includes the words "the only" mind you) - you have to at least see why given the situation, everyone is pretty much at the same conclusion Comphermc is.

Maybe I like to take after my brother hmmmm?

Don't worry dude; If he can't access LBPC, he can always try LittleBigNetwork.

With that being said... I really think the over-applauding of Comphermc's investigation and moderation powers is getting abit ridiculous . We all know he did a good job of seeking out all the little nit-picks, but I think it's time to put this to rest and call it a night.

Sorry but you left the field wide open:

I found this:




One account per user. Please do not make multiple accounts for the same person, however righteous your intentions.



Only 1 account per IP adress.
Not quite!

I think that seems pretty clear. I think I'm going to close this thread down now.

Locked.
