It is funny to me when someone is an obvious re-reg, because considering some of the people who have been banned and permabanned from this site in the past; making yourself indistinguishable from those ghosts of the past is like putting on a disguise in the form of a wispy mustache and an electronic ankle bracelet in an attempt to draw away attention from something embarrassing.

To goons, expressing any sort of interest or curiosity about a woman for any reason at all is indistinguishable from stalking, because that is the only way they know to interact with women.

Not trying to defend Caganer but just need clarification. All I know about the saga is from his post above which sounds like he simply asked something like "hey, pantshitter69's wife looks like someone I know. Is that Angela from Tulsa?". Or was there something more nefarious that he is leaving out of his side of the story?

I've never understood how/why reregs out themselves. If you got kicked out for being a weird creepy poo poo head, maybe... I don't know, DON'T do that in the future? Aside from a mod outing you, literally no one else will ever know as long as you don't either outright admit it or continue to act in the exact same, likely lovely way.

The dude claimed a yospos mod "doxxed" him by confirming he was a re-reg. Being outed as a re-reg is probably lovely on the mod's part, but it's not in any way doxxing.

If he's that hyperbolic about being "victimized", I have no problem believing he's severely downplaying his actions being (at the very least) a creeper.

I thought mods weren't supposed to have access to the kind of info that would confirm a re-reg? Did he just use the same email address or something?

Mods do not have access to that information. The admins can correlate emails or IP's or something to check whether someone's a rereg, but it's not supposed to be outed unless there's a good reason (for example someone avoiding probation with an alt), or at least that's how it was when I was a mod. My understanding that nobody has access to credit card records, no names, no nothing, that's only the payment processor, which is why we can't know who bought red-texts.

Yeah, that was my thought as well. Source IP or email address, but I'm not sure if mods have access to that data.

re: CC info. Since SA doesn't actually process the transactions themselves I would be very, very surprised they have access to any CC information. Any PCI audit would find that poo poo and SA would have its merchant account suspended or cancelled. Plus, I seem to recall ZDR emphatically stating that there is no CC information on SA's servers in any form (minus any idiot that might put it in a post).

The most recent credit-card related meltdown I know of was Negromancer (edit: formerly gfsincere, sorry genesplicer I didn't mean to implicate you in this), a black D&D poster who claimed to work at a credit card security company of some sort and went off the deep end one day and started posting like like "LOWTAX IS STORING YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO WITH NO SECURITY" or something like that. Think he ate a perma for it. This was around... a year back now?

My guess is that at their very core, they are that shitposter. They can polish the turd of their personality, but the smell still seeps through. As much as the appeal of the internet is being able to be whoever we want to be, it seems like very few people can sucessfully pull it off. While a lot of goons probably boast about having a pretty firm wall between their SA personality and RL personality, my guess is that the reality is they are much more similar than they care to admit.

Negromancer used to be gfsincere, not genesplicer. He also, at some point, posted a photo of his business card (I guess to prove he knew what he was talking about?) which prompted Lowtax or someone to call the company and ask questions about his conduct or something. It is another example of 'how badly do you want to prove your point' when you get goons calling up your former employer.

Yeah, he has the name wrong, but I remember the guy he's talking about. He was claiming to have worked for SA's host (whose name I can't remember right now) saying that there were credit card details stored and they had been stolen.

(And many posters got mad Lowtax banned a black guy.)

Usually posters don't get followed around and called out for something that they were punished for to the point that they have to rereg. There's no need for threads to constantly be derailed trying to get a sick own on him when there's a punishment system for a reason.

For fucks sake this is some TB poo poo.

We have absolutely no credit card info whatsoever, and do not know anyone's real names or information. Admins can check IPs, that's it.
