How is it a permanently banned certain user is on the site as we speak, under his user name, voting for articles?

Some ban....

He can't say anything - isn't that good enough?

I can answer that. A ban on ArmchairGM prohibits a user from commenting, editing, and sending board messages to any non-admin (or non-founder, can't remember which) assuming they are permabaned. They can also still edit their profile.

it's not really an issue, is it? What harm does him voting do?

Shouldn't part of the ban including deletion of said profile and user name?

What a dumb rule that is.

Ban means never hearing/seeing someone again. Ever.

The site can't delete the account. Seriously. It's illegal. As soon as you contribute to the site, they cannot delete your account. It's part of the copyright.

So I guess that's why we have a ton of useless, inactive accounts?

pretty much. We have to keep a record of all changes (granting exceptions that I don't want to have to explain) by each user, because otherwise we've "stolen" their contributions

What is the difference in him voting as an anon or under his own user name?

Well, I can't speak to the logistics of the ban, but I can say he still wants to be here and thinks the ban was unfair

Who cares what he thinks? If he and his cohorts made a positive impression/contribution to the site he wouldn't be banned, would he?

Well, so you all know - I have officially issued a warning that if said user(s) continue to eminate defamatory utterings about me or my family on other sites which were explicitly designed to attack my personal life that I will pursue the proper channels and have him prosecuted for criminal acts including cyberstalking.

It will go NO further.

Needless attacks on my brother, about my personal life and statements about "pissing on my grave" are not funny but are clear threats.

I requested that they not only cease personal attacks but also that they shut down the "blog" which was set up solely to harass me.


I suggest that any and all AGMers quietly ignore said cyberstalkers. Trolls are one thing, but many lines have been crossed and I won't stand for it.

My uncle just got into Cyber Justice about a year ago and has since said that they have a high conversion rate of finding people who slander and defame on the internet. However, I would suggest you take plenty of screen shots and document what has been written, it can be hard to convict or charge someone without images linking their username/IP to what they wrote and all that.

The way I'm reading this is sort of like being excommunicated. You can't go to communion but you're still Catholic.
