Another good example is Raiders 72001 who was banned for years and is now back as Raiders72 and running his TFZ forum just below the RR.
I also gave the OK to let Dell Dude back and he just posted recently and joined a post up contest. I am sure sooner or later he will make his way back here to the RR.
There have beeen several others who have been allowed off the banned list but there are some like Kodiak and the other banned touts that you will never see back again.
OK, Whale you are no longer the poster child for rehabbed banned posters.
5Starbomb, I am not trippin, it's just that RR or not these ghost accusations can get taken seriously by posters who do not know better. I am sure you would not like it if out of the blue someone said I know 5StarBomb is Kodiak.
No one likes to be accused of ghost posting and a lot is made of how many ghosts we have here at the Rx. I will admit there are some active posters that may have additional user names but they are either so old that they were forgotten by the poster and he had to re-register or they are just dormant/no post registrations that for some reason or another a person created.
What I look for is posters who are either banned, on post review or unfortunately and foolishly loose their posting rights on their own by betting them on something like TheManej2001 did. When these types ghost I have no problem either rebanning them privately or exposing them publically and let you guys make what you want of the situation.
I don't like censoring posters, I don't like even less banning them but if you were in my shoes and given my responsibilities almost all of you would be forced to at one time or another ban or post review someone if you wanted to keep the job.
I try to be fair and as many of you know you can email me and simply explain what went down to cause you to do something to get you banned. In around 95% of those cases I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I am not looking for guys to beg or plead either, just discuss it like men and we can work it out. Believe it or not I am not on any kind of power trip and get no joy from using the ban button whatsoever.
The only area where I am very firm is regarding touts who lie and create ghosts to manipulate the posting body by having the ghost praise the tout and tell all who will listen how much money he has made buying the tout's picks, when all the time it is either the tout himself ghosting or one of his empolyees or partners. They get no leiniency or sympathy at all.
