Who knows?

That would be the funniest reason, but it’s possible that miscommunication or change in policy are behind it.

eta: Turtlicious did get a name change (from “Lady Galeria”, captured in early quotes), which is a bold move for a permabanned poster trying to stay under the RADAR.

Assuming the confidence trick in this thread was irresistible, the name invites any admin who stumbles across the account to ban on sight. Not every admin reads this thread.

For that matter, why change names? If it was a confidence trick, why not rereg with the intended name immediately?

i've thought about re-regging under a different name but I think it's a nice gesture to not hide your post history so people can decide if they like you even despite the terrible things you've said and done online.

also my brand

e: it adds credibility to the lie i guess, especially if you can't keep cover

That was what I've been thinking this whole time too lmao

Their third-person posts from the Smash account were just too manipulative to not suspect they'd try something further once that one got smacked down. I was hoping they lied about someone sanctioning it because who is going to question all the other mods. It's like the reverse of going into the Technical thread and posting "my mod buttons are greyed out but otherwise still visible, can you reboot my status in the server or give it a few kicks or something"

What an exciting poster with exciting ambitions

I feel like that has to be crossed wires with admins, right? Like one admin said ok to him coming back but another didn't realise, and approved the permaban? As hilarious as the jedi mind trick theory sounds.

^^Possible, I guess we'll find out soon if there's a retraction. Maybe KM legitimately didn't know. Honestly the Jedi Mind Trick thing could work too though, because how can anyone prove that not one single mod or admin, out of all of them, granted clemency without interviewing them all? Checking all might even be impossible if some are on vacation. In this case he did paint himself into a corner by saying *which* mod granted it though, which would get him caught more easily.

I don't know what mod or admin decided somebody unstable enough to decide cow terrorism was the way forward deserved a second chance, but they really ought to rethink that choice.
Especially it Turt made it up. The figments of their imagination need some serious reflection time.

It was the most transparent thing. A new poster with a regdate of the same day you got perma'd on, talking about the post that got you perma'd that you made months ago, posting in the same threads you posted in?
