Uhhhhh... I get this:

Sorry RuperT, you are banned from using this forum!
alt of Eco-Logic

I have to think this is some kind of db error, but maybe somebody wouldn't mind asking about it over there? I sent a Facebook message to their page, just to establish some personal context if needed.
I know I overlurk, but I want to think somebody can believe I'm a unique sentience. I mean, I suppose it's possible I've been operated as the most boring alt you can imagine, even as far back as GoneGold...

LOL you are definitely not banned. Eco created an alt which I also banned. Like you said I think the database is all mixed up.

Thanks!
I'm amused how flummoxed I was for a moment; "the tribe has spoken!"

I don't know. Perhaps and investigation and congressional hearing is called for.

Just to be sure.

Somehow I'm sure this is Obama's fault.

Let's not jump to conclusions just yet.

Let the congressional investigation and hearing take place then we can jump to conclusions, about just who is responsible for this conspiracy that has done great damage to so many innocent victims.

It says I'm banned too for being an alt of ecologic. Which I am not.

Multiple "alts" of Eco Logic is actually kinda hilarious. Goes to show that you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

I let the GT folks know.

I am Eco-logic.

Perhaps we're all alts of Eco-Logic

I have never seen Eco, Scraper, and Moose in the same room at the same time.

He also signed his posts "Eco", which I thought seemed like a strong sign that he might be Eco.

Scraper and RuperT

Are you still showing you are banned? I'm not showing anything from the admin interface stating that. I don't see the database so i'm not able to fix anything from there.

RuperT · Post by **RuperT** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 4:03 pm

Yes, still showing as banned.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 4:07 pm

Cache issue perhaps?

RuperT · Post by **RuperT** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 4:14 pm

Possibly. Refreshed again and it's now:

Teggy · Post by **Teggy** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 5:50 pm

I'm guessing the news of Obama's approval rating hitting 50% generated some sort of Akira-like psychic explosion in Eco that he managed to ban accounts that weren't even his.

naednek · Post by **naednek** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 9:14 pm

I wish I can do more, but unfortunately I don't have the keys, and even if I did, I don't have a lot of experience with the backend stuff. I'm sure it will get straightened out soon.

I'm pretty sure that when they fixed the overexuberant bannination mechanic, it went to far the other way and Let the Wrong One In.

Thanks for the reminder! OO696969 worked!

Actually I finally had to just reset my password, it would never let me in. I went with 1234567 this time, that extra digit should throw off any hacker...

I'm wondering if it's because they posted a bit of an outlier of a review for 1886, which put it at the top of the Metecritic page.
