jest cause you think Rov is a pussy don't make you any less of one for whining and bitching about it.

If y'all object so much then either do something about it, or admit that y'all are all talk and no hustle.

The "proxy" thing is their latest gimic to ban someone without cause. I mean, they can just say "it was a proxy" and everyone falls in line. It doesn't even have to be one, and nobody would know different.

Very good point and the fact IP numbers change every time you connect, EI could use that tactic for anyone they wanted to get rid of.

Actually, here's the scoop on that.

They realize that a person might use several different IPs over the course of posting. For instance, with dial-up or wireless...depending on where you are. Rov himself said this, and stated that his IP changes depending on if he's at home, work, school, etc. That's not the issue.

What has been stated by Orpheus is that he's using lists of "known proxies" in both North America and Europe, so he can compare someone's IP to that list. The problem with that is that new proxies crop up every day. Google it, and you'll find websites dedicated to proxy searching...finding new proxies and sharing them with a select audience. There really are a lot of paranoiacs out there.

So, realistically, the only ways Orpheus will catch someone using a proxy is:

a) they use a known one from an established list, or:
b) someone switches proxies because the old one crapped out, and then someone goes over past posts and notices different IPs and decides to check.

Even if a proxy isn't on someone's "list" there are ways of checking it to see if it's in fact a proxy...unless it's an elite proxy which is damn near undetectable.

Sadly, I'm with RobL on this one: I think they're booting troublemakers and claiming proxy use. I went back and read Batboy's posts. Generally, people seemed to like him but he was asking troublesome questions. Can't have that.

BTW: two years ago, I predicted this scenario would happen.

Thanks for explaination. I'm going to check it out by way of goggle. :)

Sounds time consuming for Orpheus but he was on the hunt until he found a matching number for Batboy. Apparently took him several days and a few updates of proxy lists to do so.

No it's not BS- the protocol at Ei was that only an admin could make the AQG announcement of a suspension - that has just recently been changed.

So do you guys really have a rule about which direction you're supposed to wipe your asses in?
 
you all need to shut the fuck up. :roll:

why the hell does anyone care about how a message board is run? especially if it's a message board quite a few TKers seem to hate? if you don't like something why fuck around with it? why don't you concentrate on TK instead of EI. i mean, if you're from one country why piss and moan about another country that doesn't affect you in any way?

or are you just finding faults in EI that you really see in TK?

Everybody needs a hobby.
 
Why would anyone of reasonable taste and self-respect want to post at a board with *THIS BANNER* (???):

:huh:

I've skimmed over the board briefly and it appears to be on life support, sustained by a hardcore few.

Not worth your worry.
