Hi everyone, I just removed the new member CountVacula (less than 24 hours old), who I believe was nothing more than as banned member rejoining.
The clue to this was the fact that this user was using a special service called an "Anonymous Proxy" to try and hide their identity from us. As soon as I see a user is using a service like this I take the following steps...
#1 I delete all of the posts they have made, so making posts under an Anonymous Proxy is a complete waste of time.
#2 I delete the user name from the database and it become unreachable.
So please remember everyone, using a proxy service to hide your identity to the web sever is against the rules and will cause an immediate removal of everything posted as well as your username. I can immediately tell if someone is using a Proxy, so while you think you might be "hiding" it's actually an immediate red flag and bells ring.
Please do email me privately if you suspect a new member is really an old member coming back in disguise and let me know the username. Thanks again everyone.
