Question about blocked internet accounts

That probably depends on the severity of the infraction that got you banned to begin with as well as how fickle the site owner is.

My strategy is to not be a jerk. I have found to be a useful strategy and I have never been banned from anywhere.

It is up to the owner who they allow to use their site. If I had blocked you under one login, and I had any suspicion that you were using another login, I would block that one as well.

Can you elaborate? What do you mean fickle?

THere are ways to go back to sites like that without them knowing it's you-I've done it before.

Yes... but I am very selective....

What makes you think they don't know?

If you use the same IP address they'd know (or at least figure it out). If you use the same e-mail registration they'd know. In most cases people "out" themselves and eventually make it known that they came back with a new name.

You might get by for a while but eventually they'll know if they care enough to know. And if you've pissed them off enough then as soon as they figure it out the new ID will be banned too.

Fickle as in the owner doesn't allow anyone who doesn't agree with him to visit his site vs he doesn't like people that use language that would make a sailor blush or he doesn't allow people to promote or commit crimes that might make him liable.

Sure, there are always ways to get on a semipublic site. But is it really worth it? If your reason for being on the site is to do things that got you blacklisted then you will be found out. If you made a mistake and want to play nice in the future then they probably won't care.

Just because you use a different email address and an IP doesn't mean they won't find you out.

Playing nice on a site doesn't mean you have to do what is considered nice on other sites, it means whatever the site owner wants it to mean. The rules could be completely unreasonable but since it is his site he can set them however he wants. He gets to set them and he doesn't have to change them even if your request would seem reasonable to 99% of the population.

prove what?

Some of these website community managers go to ridiculous extremes-you do something a certian way they claim you're abusing their system, or say the system's not intended to be used that way.

Some of them are such sticklers is that they won't listen to you-all they care about is enforcing their rules.

Then when you try to talk to them to tell them you made an error they don't want to hear and lie and say the site's not for the purposes you said-they act like they resent you being there and act like you're the bad guy.

Other people have the nerve to stick their nose in your business and ask you what you're up to.

I was at one site and I kept getting warned about the mistakes I made-I was trying to follow the rules. I slipped and made another error then they said they were going to block me from using a certain part of the their site.

I tried talking and reasoning with the manager and he still didn't want to unblock that certain part of the site. It's like Moses trying to talk to Pharoah.

As I said there are ways to get back to these sits without them knowing it's you-I have done it before.

That's why I pray.
