W4c's a DL, so he won't be needing the signature feature anyhow.

He might need it next time, you know.

Nice detective work, Mikelock.


Or do you prefer Mikeford?

Or Columbmike?

Spellings, political stance and general attitude are all good give aways for someone like Steve5304 but I think IPs are logged, so unless you swap ISP every time...

Oh yeah, and Saddam is one of only three people to spell "by", "bye". The other two are Steve5304 and his DL Warrior4christ
Not that I'm insinuating anything at all...

I thought Steve and Saddam were a bit too similar... I was just about to ask how Saddam knew the fact that I was a European...

And I always switch ISPs every time. Or at least log off and log on to recieve a new IP adress, though usually the former.

I have a neat little tool under development which will make it much harder to get away with. The benign ones that aren't too flagrant aren't a problem, but the flaming/trolling ones, and those which try to get past a serious ban are worth hunting down.

Sneak a benign post in here or there in the on-topic forums, and it's easy to build a "history" that won't be immediately noticed.

Other than screening new accounts (and some of those are toasted before they ever post, if they come from repeat customers), I personally don't pay attention to registration date and post count as a hunting criteria.

I've never got that kind of reaction before, let alone in an On-Topic forum. I still can't decide whether it was a friend's login (It was pre-dated) or whether it was an old login he forgot. Who cares?

How long is Steve/Warrior4christ/Immoral Ozzie/Saddam/MR SADDAM now banned for then MtG ?

He was a flagrant violator, repeatedly warned, and copped a real attitude with us.

Those are all gone, permanently.

If he creates a new logon after some time has passed, and it behaves, we'll likely let it live, but he will be on a short chain for any misbehavior.

edit - Saddam/Mr Saddam was a name change, not a DL, but the four also had a close match in IP's and some other indications that he/they were yet another DL that had been quietly shut down.
