Dude, Urist, you should really stop doing that. As sad as I am for Retro to be gone (he voiced his complaints in a reasonable and respectful manner, which I always appreciate) advocating ban-dodging is gonna get you banned yourself, or at least muted.

In between finding out all 3 were on the IRC channel and getting in contact with them, and people in this thread raising a lot of valid points, I've come to the conclusion my previus post might have been wrong and also over dramatic. Sorry about that. Just wait a few weeks for me to get everyone emails and then feel free to ban people left and right.

Speaking of that, does anyone here have any tips on asking for the email addresses of like 100 forumites quickly and without spamming?

Uh? Draw it out over a week or so. Make a list by priority and do ten a day or something.

I'd probably make a list and realize that the probability of someone getting banned over the next two weeks without anyone else having their contact info is kind of low, so you can get away with asking as few as five a day based on priority.

That's the rate I'd do it at, anyway.

I have a very strange moral code. That seems to cover this, I believe.

You don't? I guess you don't find it objectionable to rape and pillage across the land.

Yeah, that kind of code.

While I have not read into the banning of Ze Spy, I am going to once again advocate the ban dodge of Retro, if you're out there, I sure hope you read this. Just knowing he was there and wanted to help improve the state of the forums was very nice.

Retro is on the IRC where the cool guys are ;)

Actually I rather think them objectionable due to other reasons.

quite honestly i do expect to be banned for this thread and thank armok for floating IP's

Actually, it'll be a ban for being a ban dodge account for Lex Talionias aka sicksock.  See you in a few weeks I guess.
