What rules did that thread violate?

Is there so sort of Arky clause?

being a faggot

Impersonating is against the rules.

Impersonation.

Unlike with someone like say Kinder, Jay, or the b.net mods whom pretty much everyone knows are either banned or not using the site Nexus is really only referred to as Arky by a handful of people. So for those who aren't familiar or friends with him you coming in and claiming you're Arky can actually confuse people into thinking you're him.

Oh but Digger can be KinderEssen?

ArKy Lives isn't the exact same thing.

That's like saying Prehistoric can't be named Eliab because it's too close to Elegiac, and on top of that, there are no users named Arky on this site.

The "don't be a twat" rule.

It's in the fine print.

Arky is a baby

For you.

I should have renamed you Mr Fantastic cause this is a stretch.

Okay? You can speculate all you want about who can be who, but I am Arky and I don't want it. Sorry if that upsets you but I don't like being impersonated, so get the fuck over it.

i requested a lock, that's why it was locked.

Well, in terms of Kinder, he's not exactly able to come back.

However, LC's reasoning for that is horribly off, since this

So for those who aren't familiar or friends with him you coming in and claiming you're Arky can actually confuse people into thinking you're him.

Still aplies to Bnet mods and banned users, the later especially since they can still be talked about and in that situation, cause confusion.
Also the fact that banned members still have posts here that'll show up if you search their names, from people who've quoted them.

It's common knowledge that Kinder is permabanned and it's easily verifiable for anyone with a little bit of curiosity.

Now see what you're doing right here is a bit different, you're not going around telling people that you are indeed the same Arky that people made threads about. You aren't claiming to be Nexus while using his old name.

Nice job ignoring the fact that Solonoid was going around claiming to be Nexus while using his old name. Those users aren't actually members of the site either so there's no one here to be impersonated. If any of the b.net mods were to join up or permabanned users unbanned those who are having fun by pretending to be someone they're not would be told to stop. It's no different than someone making a Barack Obama account and posting like him. It's common knowledge that Barack Obama is not a member of this site and no person of reasonable mind would think otherwise.

I mean if anybody bothered to read the thread they'd see that I said I was the "new" arky.

Later on in the thread after you had been forced to change your name. Action was taken because you were claiming to be Nexus under his old alias.

Well first off

http://sep7agon.net/index.php?action=profile;u=7

That's Kinders profile so Digger wouldn't actually be impersonating him even if he weren't perma banned. And second off all of his posts contain "This user has been blacklisted from posting on the forums. Until the blacklist is lifted, all posts made by this user have been hidden and require a Sep7agon® SecondClass Premium Membership to view.".

There's no indication that Solonoid isn't the actual Arky in this situation other than a he-said-she-said. This isn't really a black and white case since it's true that there is no user with the username of Arky currently. However the name Arky on here is known, and usually used to refer to Nexus by people who are friends with him. However it's been demonstrated before on here before that a good chunk of people do not know this so therefore Solonoid coming in and claiming to be Nexus using his old alias is a form of impersonation that can easily trick people. This is why the decision was made to make Solonoid change his name.

It's impersonation regardless of whether the user is banned or not.

IF I CAN'T POST KINDER'S DICK AND EMBARRASSING NOELLE PM'S IN ANARCHY THEN DIGGER CAN'T WEAR HIS NAME!

DOWN WITH LC! STAND WITH RAND!

Since this got absolutely ignored in an attempt to I don't even know what.

(I checked this too)

Still applies to banned users since they can still be talked about and in that situation, cause confusion.
Also the fact that banned members still have posts here that'll show up if you search their names, from people who've quoted them.

Oh and if the site lets people use a name, then it should be ok, if Nexus didn't want anyone to use "his name" that isn't his on this website, then he should've signed up with it.
Or asked Cheat to reserve it, which I guess is what everyone should do with every username they've ever used even if they don't use it, just in case it causes confusion.

Tthe intent of this is to stop impersonation that actually has a chance at fooling people. No one honestly cares about Barack Obama tier alts because no one is stupid enough to fall for one. Or would you like you return to the era where taking the piss out of Kinder is banned even though he can't come back and have his feelings hurt after doxxing 3 people?

Maybe because you edited it in after I had started typing up my response.

Once again I'm going to point to this.

"This user has been blacklisted from posting on the forums. Until the blacklist is lifted, all posts made by this user have been hidden and require a Sep7agon® SecondClass Premium Membership to view." All of the users actual posts have been replaced with this. Using quotes from other users to justify your position is a bit silly m8.

The explanation to why the response was the way it was was explained earlier. This case was in a bit of a grey area.

IF I CAN'T POST KINDER'S DICK AND EMBARRASSING NOELLE PM'S IN ANARCHY THEN DIGGER CAN'T WEAR HIS NAME!

DOWN WITH LC! STAND WITH RAND!

Digger isn't wearing his name.

Who is Kinder and why was he banned?
