A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

But was he offensive? I thought the conversation was funny.
He was fairly well behaved, except for the refrain of "I'm-being-funny-you-stupid-bints." But let me put this out on the table: he's killing any discussion in the thread that isn't centered around him. People are avoiding the thread, and talking around things so as not to engage him. We need to follow our own rules, but I'd like to see him gone. And if it becomes necessary to ban him, we need to know if he's posting under aliases as well.
Signed,
Talking big even though I haven't been around much until recently. But still a Buffista.

Dear God, let there not be games of multiple identity going on. Please. Pretty please.
t / been burnt with that one before on other board.
while my PC may very well say 192.100.0.105, the firewall will be telling the world I'm 12.15.10.195, and it will also be saying that my coworker is 12.15.10.195
Precisely.
You'll see hits from both me and Plasmo, during work hours, from 203.2.218.1 probably.
All I ever meant to say was "two posters who have the same IP address" isn't quite enough proof.
It's enough proof to ask them about it. In your example, you guys work for the same company. And know each other. It's not random.
PaulJ, that's not who I was thinking of. But I'm reluctant to name names, though, since I'd hate to impugn anyone wrongly.
David is already Hec. That's why he's Knut.
Please excuse me while I expire in a cloud of oldtimerness sautéed in a light oil of obscure injokery.
I love being an esoteric reference.
It's enough proof to ask them about it.
Agreed.

we have logs as detailed as that, by the way? In order to be able to find out stuff like that?
If there are two posters who are really the same person, is it logical to assume they must be using two different browsers on the same computer? Because of the cookies, they couldn't use the same browser.
I doubt that they're the same person.
Here's an interesting thing, though. The "Tim Minaer" who tried to register yesterday, has an e-mail address from the same domain (an ISP in Ohio) as our friend. There's a nice little coincidence.
We do have IP addresses in the logs, but it'll take a bit of sifting and detective effort, and isn't anything I can do from work.
t OT
...how can I tell what my registration number is? For I was most endeared by the Chibi!Lizard dialogue t'other day, but it made me go 'huh?' too. And now I'm curious.
