Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Details, please. Sorry, but I don't keep tabs of everyone on this site, and certainly do not take the time to verify identities of each new registration.
Did this happen SINCE the "get tough" policy has been implemented, or are you talking about historical references? If it was prior to the tightening of policy here, then sorry, I am not interested to hear about it. A LOT of people got away with a LOT of stuff before that. Sorry, but I am not making the tightening up retroactive.

For your information, I was never ejected from this site and certainly didn't leave because of Wes, even though it was in HIS best interest. Also, "boapit" was simply my user name. My posts were always signed "chris kennard" as required by the TOS. Therefore, I have changed nothing. I merely dropped the username to display my name in its place.
CHRIS KENNARD

Well this is a problem. The system does have the capability to merge user names (in other words take one registered name and copy NEARLY all pertinent info into the destination name). However it does not accommodate some of the hacks done to this system over the years. Warning points are one of the hacks that are not recognized by this process. I just went and merged Boapit into Chris Kennard just to see for myself what would happen. Sure enough, the posts followed along, but the warning points got dropped in the process.
Yep, it's a flaw in the system, and not sure how easy it will be to fix. I've contacted my programmer about it to see what he can come up with.
Best I can do is to ask everyone to keep their eyes open for new registrations that are of past active members here so I can try to limit this as much as possible.
Sorry, but the developers of vBulletin didn't have all of my future plans in mind when they designed this software.

Anaconda Al and CloudNine for one pair. I doubt that he's coming back, but one of his ID's is banned, the other "suspended". The total is well over 100 points.

To my understanding, it is (was) not against the rules to have multiple user accounts unless it was done to bypass a suspension. Perhaps the same rule should apply to bypassing warning points in general? I think that's what you're getting at here, but I suggest it might be best to spell it out with the rest of the rules. For example, I don't think it would violate any existing rules for me to start a new user name and lose my warning pts. No, I have have no intentions of ever doing that, I'm just saying that I suppose someone nearing 100 pts. might though.
