If I am mistaken about this assumption then I will gladly stop posting.
Let me know LFG.

Not sure what you mean, I wasn't directing anything at you based on what I posted above. I haven't seen you do anything that would qualify you to be banned or anything close. You have the right to post anonymously here without revealing your guild or character name if you want, I will not reveal any info about you or post your IP number or anything else even if I had to ban you. I also have no way to know what your guild or toon name unless you reveal that info on these boards.
The only exception would be if I caught someone posting on two different names at the same time while trying to act as if they were two different people. I have pretty powerful admin tools as part of this software, and can easily search for matches based on complete or partial IP addresses to determine if the same person is trying to post as two different users.
In that case, I still wouldn't disclose your IP number or any personal info, all I would do is post both of your posting names in a poll, and give the users a vote on which of your personalities should be banned. My intent is for you to only ever have one account on this board. If you want to post anonymously, you are pretty much limiting yourself here and are stuck posting that way unless you decide to later reveal who you are. But you can't just start over on a second account, not unless you moved and got both a new IP number and email address.
So for sure, I will never post your IP number or email address, and I don't have any other information about you at all. Your pws are encrypted and I don't have access to them or to your messages.
As I have also stated, I will never give you an embarrasing posting title if I don't like you, I've always felt like that was uncool for admins to do.
The guy I banned earlier was posting racial slurs, and made about a dozen short spam posts in various forums. He was posting solely to grief people and start shit for pure sport, and for no other reason than to irritate and annoy people. I asked him to stop and he didn't. I banned him because he intended to continue harming this site for his personal entertainment.
With that said, you have the right to post here without revealing your character and guild name, but I never understand why people want to do that, and don't give a person any credibilty when they are afraid to reveal who they are. So I don't care if you post anonymously as long as you don't try and harm this site by doing anything that will make people want to stop posting here or get me in any kind of trouble.
