Ninny Man Jr's Summer "Vacation"

[mark13]

I hate to say this guys, but as Provost has said, the DLs listed above are not in fact Chris's - they are all the work of the guy known here as Ninny Man Jr, and more recently Johnny Flashman.

[MarkG]

so it's not Chris Wilkinson but an impersonator of Chris Wilkinson?

[Ming]

Ninny Man Jr and Flashman are indeed the same person.
However, we will look into it and reconsider any actions taken against Chris.

If you wish to send any information to help us out, please PM myself or MarkG.

Thanks for your input on this matter.

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, although Chris and Ninny Man Jr. are good friends in real life...

Hey, no worries, but I think Chris would be a little alarmed to get back and find that he has been banned without doing anything wrong. It is Ninny Man Jr. who is behind this. Give him a good vacation and then let him back with a logon. Just keep your eye on him for any misbehaviour (I suppose this is like teaching a grandmother to suck eggs really )

where is Pedro Lopez?

This is quite entertaining.

Ming, I can tell you without any doubts whatsoever that my esteemed Vice President is innocent of these charges, and I verify the complete truth of the words of Provost Harrison. I'm sending you a PM about this too.

Please unban Chris at once.

[MarkG]

we aim to please

thank you for the help reismark

i should note that chris' vacation was my doing...

[Ming]

Well MarkG... I take the blame too on this one. We both saw the same thing when we were tracking it down this morning.

Yeah... suckered by a fake email address... it happens

But unlike some people, we are willing to admit our mistakes and correct them. That has been done. You will note that I have edited the title, and the first post... as to not further damage Chris's good name.

Chris... Our deepest apologies. We thought the trail led to you... and it didn't. Please forgive our mistake.

[Winston]

Ah, I see now.

Special banning threads are posted when the mods aren't entirely sure what they're doing - just in case someone sees it who knows the actual facts about the logins involved.

Maybe you ought to make it the rule rather than the exception?

[Gramphos]

Why not use this image: <img src="attachment.php?s=&postid=426328" border="0" alt=""> as an avatar of all banned logins?

[spartak]

Alternatively use this image when you ban someone incorrectly.

Hasn't Ming fallen for this one before - Didn't JETW/RC sucker Ming into banning MikeH as his D/L?

So much for once bitten twice shy.

[ACOLKitty]

They also banned someone who they thought that was my AE.

Uhhhh... no... While I have been sucked before, that wasn't one of them.

People will continue to try their best to fool us with their little "games"... Just because we aren't perfect (and who is) and we fall for it, doesn't mean we should not continue to do our job as best as we can. I will continue to admit when I make a mistake, and correct it when I can. Life goes on
