Hi Chris, welcome back... I still haven't received my set of spanners. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

More like the developement team that uses VB.

According to the site you got 133,317 points in a few seconds? 
You must be one helluva spanner!

I know, not sure exactly why but it has associated all my old reputation to this new account. Odd things seemed to happen in the registration process.

It is because your profile URL is still http://www.codeproject.com/Members/ChrisElston[^].
The system automatically adds the rep points from your old account ( which had the said URL, too ) to your new account.

Yes, I actually chose a different name when filling out the form, but when it returned after saving some of the fields had changed to the old values and the two accounts got linked together like this.

I was really wondering why you got nuked, pissed of a code monkey?

Yeah, it is probably because you are using the same email address. I have had some experience with that[^].
Sorry about jumping into the middle of this thread, but I just noticed you were back again. Welcome back

Like all specialized predators, salespeople have evolved to efficiently catch their prey. While the prey will also adapt, in this case the life-dinner principle doesn't apply: the prey isn't killed, merely robbed, so the selective pressure is not higher for the prey. This prey will never catch up to its predator.

That'd be a wrench if it's truly so.

Welcome back.
If you have followed the lounge closely enough during your absence you would have noticed that more than one person have asked what has happened to you.
If I were you I would ask at the sugs'n'bugs to have your old account merged with you new one or at least revived. It makes it so much easier for us older people to search for old posts. I'm bad at bookmarking.
Oh by the way, don't be pissed at a few anonymous idiots, it doesn't help. I'm pretty sure that most of the active people here have nothing against you.
|
|
|
|

Oh I know.
I'm mostly a lounge user at work, so being off work for a month after getting banned meant I didn't spend much time on here at all and it wasn't until I came back to work I started to really miss it.

Welcome back Chris!
I wondered what happened to your account (I think I missed whatever got it stomped on). Anyhoo, Non carborundum illegitimi as they say in Poland. If they are translating stuff.

It didn't exactly get stomped on, more dribbled on until critical mass was reached.
I only made two posts that day, one totally inoffensive and the other in the Soapbox. Both were reported within seconds of each other later in the day. I had a couple of other reports from a week or two earlier for use of the word penis.
It did make me wonder how long a report lasts for, is it 5 reports ever, or 5 in a period or...
Enjoy this, which must be the ultimate not news ever[^]

As far as I know it's 5 reports ever. I seem to recall however that a suggestion was raised in Sugs & Bugs to let those reports expire after a certain amount of time but I don't know if this has been implemented yet.

I'm pretty sure I've reported DD more than 5 times, so there must be a time limit on them
The comments are pretty good on the conundrum. Hardly the moral maze, is it?

Good to see you back! Other day I saw a thread about you.
And don't know where is PB3 now?
