BANNED on TWoP.

Well, apparently I don't just know when to quit. So Mars got rid of me. Hopefully my next account will get by without much scrutiny, although I doubt the name "Super Metroid" won't turn a few eyes ( Read more... )

So, tell me, what got you banned? A post with just the word 'Um'?

Your description of the mods being like suburban cops is perfect. They blast you for every small transgression and it just ramps up until they decide to strike you from the population. To be fair, I got rather heated with Herr "Darth Pipes" for his whining, and this was the last straw for Mars.

You think I have a good chance of getting by with another account, or do they analyze IP addresses?

I dunno. Did you make it from the same email, or a different one? That might be what they check.

Different email. The name is slightly similar, but they can't be THAT communist, right? My primary concern is posting updates for Away. If I do that it's a pretty hefty indicator of who I am, so I'd like to ask that you try and stimulate a little conversation on that thread, either by recommending a story and trying to get some responses, or whatever so it goes over to a new page. Then I'll post a link to a story I've been "updating" and gee, aren't I curious to see what people think of it.

Ah, and I never asked you: what'd you think of Reprisal?

You got banned? Like permanently banned? And it was because of arguing with Darth Pipes? That totally sucks. I'd be surprised if they actually block your IP address. Just wait a day or so and try to register with a different email address. If that doesn't work, then go use a computer at a friend's house to set up a registration (with yet another email address). There are always ways around these things ;)

If I could ask a favor of you, and possibly Isaac: tool around for really good stories and recommend them on the fanfiction section, enough so that the page gets turned. That would let me get off the radar with Mars for having a name similar to Metroid13 (and damnit, do I want to change my display name. Any way of doing that?)
