How should I handle this
 

I banned Indiana at 1:56PM on 10/27/05.

At 2:17 10/27/05 MastaDeLePoque starts posting.

MastaDeLePoque PM's me asking to unban his friend Indiana. I look them both up and they have identical IP's. MasterDeLePoque again claims he is not Indiana.

Many times when a user contacts me himself I go ahead and unban him and instead work out an exile. However in all prior cases the user was upfront about who he is.

Why not post a poll and let OOT decide?

I'll leave the Indy bashing to others.

Tell him indiana has to contact him. Wait a day. Ban the second account. When you are contacted by indiana admitting he is indiana tell him you will unban him in three more days to one more week.

could be a roommate?

would a dual exile work? I mean that might not be fair to his roommate if in fact that's the situation but hey if he's tight with Indiana then it was gonna happen eventually.

Re: How should I handle this
 

I never had a problem with Indiana, so I don't really care if he comes back or not.

That being said, I think you should go with your gut on this one.

This won't work now....U should have PM'd this message...

Why is INDY banned ??

Re: How should I handle this
 

I agree. We should let OOT decide.

Re: How should I handle this
 

Since you asked:

Unban Indiana, ask him to be upfront in the future and ignore any claims he may make to the contrary (he is just saving face now, knowing he got caught). If he does it again, well, you know what to do.

Indiana is a productive member of this forum, if I were in your shoes I would cut him some slack and let him post again.

the odds of it being a roommate are SO slim. i thought he was a troll from time to time, but he wasn't in a league with manybeers or anything.

at the end of the day however, i can't stand people who continue to avoid telling or evade the truth. if you have a strong feeling it's him, and he continues to tell you he isn't...tough to side with an unbanning.
