Scorpion...a very sad teenager who...on Christmas Day of 2002....commited suicide. I had met her about 6 months earlier and had TRIED to help her, but she lost to the dark depression that took her over :\'(

I wasn't around then, but it sounds like some "Talking Walnut" person that some people have been going on about. Is that it?
And was he about as strange as robocop?
I just think he wanted attention. I don't think he meant any harm. He was looking for people too talk too. He just needed to look at the world around him and see how he could improve his life. I hope he's doing alright. I don't wish the worst on anybody. I wish I could have helped him. I just wasn't strong enough then to do that though. I understood what he was going through since I had gone through some of the same stuff in my life.

I was actually accused of being him once, because of my suicidal tendencies.
Andrew didn't really have suicidal tendencies, he had homicidal tendencies-that is what made him very scary. He was talking about killing the doctor who had him locked up and from what he was saying, I'm sure everyone on the board thought that he needed to be locked up.

He's still around. I think it was last year some time he delated his account-whether intentually or by mistake, I have no idea. And then he reactivated his account. You will see that the "guest" posts are probably from last year and if you look at the more recent ones, he is a member.

Yeah, I'm a relative newbie (800 is a baby compared to Mark, Philip or Apricot, LOL!) I don't know you that well, but you always struck me as nice, so I agree. :)
I've posted (and co-moderated) at tons of message boards before, so I know sometimes arguments, drama and changes can go down - just like in real life, and it sometimes doesn't feel good. I've had it happen to me too -- a couple years ago, I almost left one of my boards because of that but I'm glad I reconsidered (as are my buddies over there).
Maybe just give it a week away or so, and you'll feel better about coming back. Just a suggestion.

less of a testing thing, and more like an easy way to have a second email address set up fror the reporting tool to send notifications to.
Robocop is banned. Probably the first ban in the past four months I can even remember. Last straw was yesterday with the annoying "Robocop was here" posts in a dozen or so topics. Just way too disruptive.
WHOO! Finally! Thank you.
Thanks Chuck, I totally agree with this. :)
Wonderful! I thought his posts were way to bizarre. ::)

I like a certain amount of bizarre, but not when it's disruptive to other members. I also generally don't mention when I've banned someone, but it was really irritating to have to sit there and remove his posts.

I doubt it. Maybe she just deleted her account. The only glitches I know of that have happened in the past couple weeks are 1] users getting banned by mistake, and 2] my post count (and Philip's and Indy's) dropping by a couple hundred due to deletion of a mystery thread. :-\\

And a lesbian, to boot. My first reaction to all of this was this: What exactly is he trying to prove? Is he trying to live vicariously through his split personality and somehow oddly getting off on it?

I haven't taken a hard line stance against the multiple-accounts thing in the past.
That said, posting pictures pretending to be someone else in the members thread, was a little too deceiving in my opinion (even if most people were in on the joke). It crossed a line with me (and I see I wasn't the only one) that I wasn't even aware was there. I didn't ask for the account to be deleted (or do it myself), I just said it wasn't funny and I didn't approve.
I can tell if people are sharing the same machine to some extent, and if I really was serious about enforcing rules against it, I'm sure I could write something to let me know when people might be doing it.
Since people can post anonymously, member accounts shouldn't need to be faked, or even applied for if people don't want to know who is making a post.
I'm trying to gauge people's opinions on this, and was going to start another thread to discuss whether there should be a rule, or what the guidelines should be for it.

I dont' see any problem with having multiple accounts/personas if you are honest.  For example, AL-B has become La Sine Pesroh and he has stated in posts "I am the original Al-B" and he has "Al-B" in his sigline or by his avatar, somewhere where it is easily visible.  If someone wants to create multiple accounts but isn't claiming to have a different NAME, LOCATION, AGE, SEX, etc that is fine with me but there is a certain level of trust on this board - and i think that is what keeps many of us here, even though there are hundreds of message boards out there... so when you cross the line to claming you are someone you aren't, that is not cool, in my opinion...

I think it was just a joke and we should of all played along instead of jumping all over him... it became very obvious everyone knew by the comments they posted, i wish everyone could of shown a bit more wit and played along in a fun way, many people on this site are such hypocrites, they laugh when they are supposed to laugh, they jeer when they are supposed to jeer, how about being yourselves and let other people be themselves for the last time i looked this board is called "the playful penguin place" and I believe having multiple profiles can be playful, the lesbian "fake" profile was a lot more amusing then some of the lame "fake" profiles I've seen on this site... now all you stone throwers go pick up your stones for you may need them again... PS I think it took "stones" to post such a profile ;D
They'll need 'em again... this board hasn't had a witch hunt for about a year and a half; I guess it must be overdue.... ::)

I just wished we could of kept it going a bit longer, it could of been amusing ;)
and to think, Howard was left out of this  ;D
IMO it's that attitude that makes the whole thing feel even worse. Howard is vulnerable at the best of times. The net is about trust at the end of the day and if we don't have it - what's the point?
Oh Jiminy, this is from a person that has never changed his profile.  ;)

I haven't taken a hard line stance against the multiple-accounts thing in the past.ÂÂÂ
That said, posting pictures pretending to be someone else in the members thread, was a little too deceiving in my opinion (even if most people were in on the joke). It crossed a line with me (and I see I wasn't the only one) that I wasn't even aware was there. I didn't ask for the account to be deleted (or do it myself), I just said it wasn't funny and I didn't approve.
I can tell if people are sharing the same machine to some extent, and if I really was serious about enforcing rules against it, I'm sure I could write something to let me know when people might be doing it.ÂÂÂ
Since people can post anonymously, member accounts shouldn't need to be faked, or even applied for if people don't want to know who is making a post.ÂÂÂ
I'm trying to gauge people's opinions on this, and was going to start another thread to discuss whether there should be a rule, or what the guidelines should be for it.
Ok, this question is going to need to be addressed sooner or later, so I think we should deal with it now, so that this whole thing can be put to rest soon... Here are my two cents on what the guidelines should be:
If you feel the need to create a multiple screen name, say, for example you want to keep your political thread posts separate from your PPP posts, I don't see a big deal with that... but..either put your true location/sex/age or leave it blank... don't put phony stuff like saying you're female if you're male... or saying you're 18 if you're 45... and don't post things about yourself that are outright lies... like "Well, I live in Florida and the law here states that..." when you actually live in California. Even better, just put your AKA's under your avatar or in your sigline like people often do when they change their screen name... that eliminates the question of whether it was meant to deceive, but you can still have fun with it and it will still serve its purpose... as long as the user doesn't have bad intentions, i can't see why they would have a problem making it known who they are.

That sounds great but there is no way to enforce that. I also don't know if Chucky can limit the number of accounts to one computer because both Carlos and I use the same computer (but we use different e-mails on our accounts). As far as I can see, we just have to rely on the integrity of members.

Well, I think Chucky probably has better things to do than worry about people using duplicate accounts... I wouldn't expect him to make a concrete rule about it, because yes, it is hard to enforce. (Although, Cat, I know you are actually Don Carlos but I won't tell anyone ;) ;D) But I think many of our eyes are open now and we (the members) are likely to catch it if someone else is doing this and happens to slip up... All I ask of Chucky is that when asked, that he will confirm or deny that ip's are the same. For the sake of just letting this all go, I will buy Mark's explanation that he didn't know it would be a big deal... but as of now everyone should know that if they do this, and get caught, they will become a big public spectacle and will lose a lot of credibility... so this is the perfect opportunity to stop.

why is it that mark is the onlyone we are talking bad about for having a fake profile, there are two more members I can think of right now who were also caught doing the same and no one says anything about them, i still don't care if anyone has multiple profiles, all i do is post remarks and respond to others remarks

Oh yeah, bit different because that wasn't at all serious. I don't get bent out of shape that somebody decides they want to be somebody different, fair enough.. but it's just a bit dodgy that somebody would lie for that long.. and not get bored of it. If i was pretending to be somebody else, i'd either take it to ridiculous heights, claim to be a cross dressing midgit wrestler or something, or just get bored with it.

That's the point. It was done in jest-and everyone knew that. They knew it was other board members (maybe not exactly which board member). And how long did it go on? A couple of days? But, when someone goes on for YEARS, I don't think of it as joke anymore, I think of it as deceit.

You seem very quick to defend, Jiminy, lol. You don't seem to be the kind of person to get too passionate about things so I find this quite intriguing.
I have said it before, it's the intention and if somebody is willing to decieve for so long, it is worrying regardless of the apparent motivation. I don't buy it one little bit and, I'm a guy with a sense of humour, see no joking motivation within the 'Superfreak' incarnation.
I have trusted Mark as a friend with all my genuine honesty (as he can vouch for in past PMs) it would be nice for a little back.  :)

I think "Superfreak" was a board member BEFORE I got here. I went into the archive and while I couldn't find exactly when "Superfreak" joined, there were posts from 2002. That is a long time.
