Theflyingcar = Red Scorpion?

Trooper · 03-13-2016, 05:59 PM

I was just going through the stats page and spotted something weird. On the ban list there's an entry for Theflyingcar. The ban reason was that he was a Red Scorpion imp with a proxy IP and the ban duration is permanent.

But Theflyingcar never is or was Red Scorpion, right? Either way, he's an active member now, despite the ban duration being listed as permanent.

It's confusing me. Help, Space Goat.

He was mistaken for being Red iirc

I'm guessing I deleted the imp account and the userid was reassigned to Theflyingcar when he registered. The ban page is a custom thing I built, so it's not surprising the ban record didn't get cleaned up when I deleted the original account.

Ah okay, that's cool.

I can now sleep soundly at night.

Sorry I just checked and it was Red who claimed someone else was an imp, oops
