"It was my [insert relative] that did the trollposting, not me!" "Screw you, you're still banned!"

This excuse has been so overused that when it finally happened to me yesterday, no one's going to believe me when I say my cousin joined TvTropes during his stay at my house. No one's going to believe me when I say that I told him not to because I knew he was going to get banned. No one's going to believe me when I say that my mom made me help her make dinner so the little fucker finds Quickie Questions on Yack Fest and asks that if the IP ban that I mentioned is indeed invoked, if my account will be affected. And he asked some really stupid questions. I mean, "What is this thing she calls trolling?" Come on. Fast Eddie nukes his newborn account and bounces back to Google. I clear all the cookies and I can access my account. I wake up the next morning and I've been bounced. None of my posts have been deleted like his and my Contributor page is still up, and as far as I know, I never received a warning.

And about the "Lol people are supposed to lock up their computers better" thing, I am prohibited from adding any security measures to my computer thanks to my dad to make sure I don't watch porn. Except, of course, no one's going to believe me.

So do I have to make a new account and make sure I never fall under the shadow of the banhammer again?

/whining. Sorry.

You should probably pothole to Sincerity Mode in your explanation, if you need to.

Weak, I know but I don't know what else to say.

Central Avenue · 2011-01-17 18:03:22

^ I doubt that would make a difference. Any troll could easily pothole Sincerity Mode.

As for what to do, well...I'd say you should try to plead your case, and explain just what you've explained here. There's a chance you might get in trouble for ban-evading, but...what else can you do?

ninjaclown · 2011-01-17 18:08:50

Make a sockpuppet and make a plea at Edit Banned. Sucks, but this is how the site is moderated.

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 18:09:47

It might be less trouble to just make a new account, though. Not to mention that Fast Eddie said he "may puke up a lung" if he hears the relative excuse again, which does not bode well.

Trash_Vortex · 2011-01-17 18:10:44

Which troper are you?

ninjaclown · 2011-01-17 18:14:11

Was your avatar a fox like Madrugada's, or are you someone else?

Trash_Vortex · 2011-01-17 18:18:19

Madrugada got banned?

Gelzo · 2011-01-17 18:19:28

Yes Trash, Madrugada got banned.

Trash_Vortex · 2011-01-17 18:20:36

noooooooo

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 18:25:02

I used an arctic fox at one point. The latest one I used was an angry Rena. Same handle as the one I'm using now.

Myrmidon · 2011-01-17 18:25:20

The old handle was snowfoxofdeath. Look it up guys, last post was yesterday.

God.

Gelzo · 2011-01-17 18:30:40

I don't think I'm going to end up being helpful, so I might as well try to satisfy my curiosity by asking what exactly your cousin did.

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 18:33:16

He posted in Quickie Questions introducing himself as the cousin of a troper asking if trolling and strawmanning would warrant an IP ban like I feared. He then proceeded what to ask what trolling and strawmanning was.

Gelzo · 2011-01-17 18:34:44

That's it? Christ.

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 18:40:41

Well, I just found out that Google bans are meant to be permanent.

Time to make a new account?

Ponicalica · 2011-01-17 18:47:03

No, because it'll get Google banned too.

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 19:05:12

What the--

Do I have to renew my IP address if I ever want to post in the forum ever again?

thatguythere47 · 2011-01-17 19:15:30

You could try pleading your case in edit banned with a character witness or two.

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 19:20:46

I cannot access the site after logging in, and this applies to any device in my household. As soon as I press a button on the Knower Form, it's back to Google. Was Fast Eddie in a really, really bad mood yesterday?

thatguythere47 · 2011-01-17 19:24:03

Have you tried making a new account while using a proxy website?

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 19:46:02

I just tried and got a 403. I'm screwed, aren't I?

AHR · 2011-01-17 19:56:12

Try a computer at your local library, or get a troper friend on here to pm the mods with a request that you wrote.

Anonus · 2011-01-17 19:59:30

Eddie's banned most proxies he knows of.

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 20:07:05

Not even 3G network/ my phone's data plan is bypassing it. If someone were to plead my case for me and annoy the mods, would they be banned as well? I don't want that to happen. I'll try the school library tomorrow.

AHR · 2011-01-17 20:13:03

I could, if you want, or if you trust someone else more, they could.

snowbull · 2011-01-17 20:15:48

Are google bans the default now or what?

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 20:17:45

^ Sure seems like it. I read the thread you made here, snowbull. I wonder if Fast Eddie's evil twin took over.

^^ I'll try making a sockpuppet from the school library first. I'll start looking for a troper-attorney only if I have to, don't want to bother too many people.

snowbull · 2011-01-17 20:19:11

Why doesn't FE just delete the entire right side of the fora? Wouldn't that fix all of his problems?

snowfoxofdeath · 2011-01-17 20:20:37

There seems to be a modicum of mercy left in his heart. Maybe.

Central Avenue · 2011-01-17 20:21:03

*smacks snowbull* Don't give him ideas!

Howdy, Stranger!
