iDrama
Here we go again. The latest iDrama episode involves a user who was banned because he broke one of the cardinal rules in the Code of Conduct. The consequence is standard procedure—it’s an instaban. Then comes an email from him that says a hacker hacked his account, followed up by a very public confession (and then some) from the hacker. Accounts banned, case closed, everyone’s happy. Right?
No, not by a long shot.
See, said user was popular, so when his account was banned, his peers got very unhappy, got their pitch and forks, and threatened to lynch the moderators. So, I get a call from the mods asking me to look up IP accesses to verify whether the account was really hacked.
Well, it sort of was.
The hacker created the user’s account. This whole thing was a staged incident.
Frak.
So, until further notice, all related accounts will stay banned.
