Stupid question for my clarification: Why are there different profiles for Zoe Ann and Zoe Finch? In my experience, on a board like this, someone with two profiles is either A) In Charge, or B) Up To No Good. Although with them being so similar, it could just be another example of cluelessness.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

She reregistered with a different name at some point due to password difficulties, and wanted to stay with her new name.

She forgot her password to the Zoe Finch account, and reregistered as Zoe Ann.

Ah. So, general cluelessness. OK.

Bitterchick has two logins, and as far as I know, she's neither. I mean, I agree allowing multiple logins has been a problem for other fora, but we seem to tolerate it and it's never been an issue thus far.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Actually, quite a few people have two logins, mostly for Sang Sacre purposes. It's neither against any policy nor a big deal.

Ah. My bad.

I do think there's a difference between a second login a known poster uses for specific purposes (e.g., Sang Sacre, if someone wanted to keep her posts about fic under the name she wrote with) and someone using a second login to wreak havoc in some way. But the havoc-wreaking thing would probably fall under our rudeness/demon-y behvaior clause anyhow.

Scrappy also has an at-work login because of password issues.

Right. (And in that hypothetical case, I assume all a person's ids would be disabled.)

I want to say that this whole Zoe thing is quite annoying. I don't agree with Allyson that she does this deliberately, but I do find her posts to be incoherent, incomprehensible and otherwise completely inappropriate to whatever ongoing discussion she interrupts. That alone does not merit a warning. I also didn't read the deleted post that got her in so much trouble this time around but I don't think that her snootiness is in and of itself punitive-worthy. I think her gay sex is icky post was an opinion better left unsaid, but her Christianity bashing was much more offensive and may have merited a warning. And at the time I had asked her to delete or otherwise modify the offensive post of her own accord, and she never did.
If this were IRL I would be nice to her when I saw her but stop inviting her to parties and if necessary screen her phone calls with caller i.d. Unfortunately you can't do that here at least until the Marcie filter becomes operational. Her presence has become the most persuasive argument I've seen yet for the Marcie.
Needed to throw in my two cents.
