And then a further 10% when Ami was demodded. (Even though he presumably couldn't set tags himself.)

what happened with santa initially is that he was juniored for making too many dumb threads and then would not let it go. constantly bugging the mods, whining, etc, so he got the perma-boot. And he got the kind of perma-boot where when he comes back as an alt and they find it, they are immediately inclined to give him another boot. Some alts are known alts and are just allowed. Everyone knows who Crushed is, everyone knows who "Puddles" really is, and so on. I'm 99% sure they know who Wrath is.

If they perma-ban you but they have no hard feelings about it, you might survive as an alt. If they hate you, you're going to get perma'd as soon as they find out who you are.

I remember the days of "Free Laramie" with the Laramie alt posting in the same thread.

I'd be curious how they know who Wrath's alt is, given the history.

Interesting.

But I doubt they investigate everyone and anyone. I mean, no offense to my fellow borehos, but a lot of them don't pose any threats, except for a few notorious old timers.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #8886 on:** November 06, 2011, 11:57:22 AM »

There was once a leak from the mod forum that contained a "ban wishlist" for each admin/mod. I was so proud to make Dragona's list back then.

I heard about that incident. Is it the same as when someone (from OA?) figured* out MikeWorks' password? (1234512345, I believe lol)

*when it comes to Mike, I don't think anyone "figured" it as much as "were tipped." lol.

I know I was on someone's ban list in 2008. I was banned seven months out of the year there.

i didn't really alter my posting style when i had an alt. what got me banned was a "would" post in a thread i forgot what i was about. it was perm so i guess they knew and just waited for an excuse.

Yeah, Wrath wasn't that hard at all.

Other giveaways are things like people who post the exact same opinions on games on GAF under their alt and then on their Twitter as their regular persona or here, ip addresses, psn/xbl names, dates of birth, email addresses, stuff like that.

Usually the first hint, though, is that they hit up the same topics and write in a similar style. That leads to extra investigation of that other stuff. Your writing style is almost like a finger print if the right person looks at it, and GAF has at least two people on their moderation staff who are very very good at that stuff.

gaf's alt forensics team is csi-worthy. #ga was a hotbed of poster analysis, and they caught 90% of the oa idjits reliably.

The question that I had in mind was, was he recently appointed or has he been part of the team for some time?

And speaking of "PC gamer": I'm surprised EL hasn't been able to persuade ghst to become a mod yet. The two are pretty big buttbuddies.

He's as bad as any console fanboy on the site. Probably worse. Constantly derails any threads to inject boy I love my PC stuff into it. And he's mod approved so behavior that he does wouldn't be tolerated by other posters. But that's just my imo.

I would find it more amusing if trolling was allowed the other way. It's not too hard or brave to troll when the site owner shares your same bias and upholds your behavior and then shuts it down going the other way. But I digress...

I usually find his wine-sniffing quips about pc superiority amusing. But yea, low hanging fruit - but that's more Evilore's fault for being a tightwad about return fire.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #8903 on:** November 06, 2011, 04:08:36 PM »

The biggest problem I see in his routine is the derailment, because his arguments more often than not hold merit, not to mention being sharp and witty.

On the other hand, people who usually take the bait are so quick to use your standard, stock defense (usually of consoles), and miserably falter doing so. That's from my limited experience. It's always a circus of knee jerk reactions.

Another problem is his had the same routine for a couple of years now, it lost any sense of power or outrage ages ago.

I do remember after one encounter with him on Gaf, Red Scarlett PM'ed me saying that she couldn't stand his PC brigade type posts, i linked her to a post he had made earlier comparing a PC game with no dedicated servers to a rape victim, he was banned shortly after that for a fairly long time.

The Experiment alt?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=32467237&postcount=160

No seriously, I think the main reason why is that most college students believe their Marketing or Sociology majors will net them $60,000+ a year salaries once they graduate. If they believe they will get them, why bust their ass in very unrewarding majors (STEM) when they can get paid and be able to cruise the bars four nights a week? Most college students believe they are the exception until it's time to graduate and find a job.

Hate to be an elitist douchebag (no wait, I love it) but people are just unwilling to put in the work. College is all about getting drunk, high, and laid, bros!

ADWD is a book that's best read right after finishing AFFC, so good timing. ADWD also makes AFFC even better, retroactively.

I have never ever seen Kabouter the mod before ever, nor have I ever seen him post on GAF.
