Lets wait for their reconsideration.
We have asked on 3 occasions if they have two accounts, and why if they do over the course of a number of months.
On two of those occasions we received radio silence.
On the third occasion they denied having two accounts, and then proceeded to say that they forgot the password to one of them in a subsequent reply.
So, ignoring our fair requests, lying, and not giving sufficient reason.
(Hit post too soon).
I guess that makes more sense, although still seems harsh if there was no other bother. Not my circus, though, and appreciate the extra info.
....shit!
Right?
Damn.
However, the secondary point of it is "own your shit" - if somebody's going to spout shit they're going to be embarrassed about, and they can't just walk away from it, they'll think twice next time.
At least, that's the theory.
You're still that optimistic ???
I can't just walk away from embarrassing shit I've spouted on here, so I don't see why anybody else should be able to.
Usually with duplicate accounts it's either that they're trying to troll or shill their stuff. But this one fazed me to the point that when I searched the two names it basically brought me to this thread but no-where else.
The only narrative that makes sense is the 'slightly embarrassed to be in this position' one, maybe mixed with (I suspect) a tendency of a large chunk of the baby boomer population to still think basic IT systems are fallible (I have endless conversations at work along the lines of 'not trusting' a single tab, 50 row spreadsheet because of some anecdote or other). Basically - he thought he could style it out by denying everything.
Which anyone who pays attention admin/mod interventions knows would be impossible to get past the modmins. They clearly know their system inside out.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

To be clear, it's definitely reasonable to question it, and we've tried to be completely transparent about it.

Ditto. I can't manage a whole one nowadays.
If a member loses their password, access to their email account, or other issue, they can get in touch with us admin@thefretboard.co.uk - or if they do try to register another account, then they can comment in the "why do you want to join?" box stating that they can't get into their old account. We get that reasonably often, and we always respond favourably to it - we usually ban one of the accounts and let them carry on with the other.
Similarly, once joined, if anyone PMs us and says they used to be someone else and can't access their account then that's something we will also look at favourably. We won't ban anyone if they are up front and honest about it - they just need to let us know one way or another.
In this case the member in question had opportunity to do so for quite some time, and on multiple occasions. We only ask for people to be up front and honest - if they aren't we have to ask why they have chosen to do that.

I know it must a right pain in the gluteus maximus for the modmins, but some of the reasons for banning are hilarious
