Administrators: Member Suspensions.

[Dab]

I hear what you are saying, but if you went off previous allowances to post in your sanction thread then how can you rightfully be punished for that? It is like being told you are allowed to do something in the past, and when you do it you suddenly cop punishment for it under a new rule not so publicly announced or known.

Waratah's original ban was not extended when he posted on the Mimic account. The main account was banned only for the 48 hours originally imposed. The tempbanning of Mimic did nothing but enforce the previously levied tempban on his account. So Waratah was not punished for using Mimic, and the posts he made in his sanction thread with it were not logged as offenses. Posting in your sanction thread is fine. Doing so during your ban, is not. It's the same as people not being allowed to post in sanction threads as proxies for people that are banned. If the banned member wishes to talk to an admin, they may PM them, or post in that thread after their ban is complete. This is true of both normal admin bans and of tempbans. Furthermore, the Mimic account was supposed to be banned along with the Waratah account at the start, but was not, which was an oversight.

Also, I think I forgot to quote that sentence, but if you invisible a post of Mimic posting in the media section, and I assume he was not trolling with that post, then why would you invisible that post, and then rely on it for a sanction on top of a sanction?

I removed it from my post, since I was not personally involved in the catching/invis'ing of that post, in fact I was asleep at the time. If Athenian did it, he can point out where it was done. Finding invis'd posts is very difficult, since they don't show up on searches, even for moderators (phpbb fail).
