Hmmm... Janesy should get in touch with Gibbo then 
I would just like to take this moment to apologize as in late 2006 i said i had overlocked my pc to 3ghz. When infact it was only 2.7ghz. I'm really sorry and I feel deeply ashamed. I just thought i would let you all know as its better you hear it from me before im exposed by fellow members.
My advice is for Lucero to invoke the Gibbo Loophole and plead for mercy
Or alternatively start posting at a top tier level, wait a few years, be invited into the elite crew, and then not have to worry about breaking rules.
What do you think your chances of becoming a mod are?
/Skim read over..
Who hasn't overendowed themselves (or their exploits) over the internet in the past? Honestly, bit of a pointless thread unless the reason was to either embarass the person in question, or get him banned. A proper Motors post...

I think he knows he has no chance!
This thread is disappointing really, and pointless. Its like grassing a kid in at school for something pointless.

Consistency of rule application has been mentioned a lot in this thread, as though it's the simplest thing in the world. Different mods interpret different rules in different ways, some mods are upset by something another mod won't be upset by, some mods stick firmly to the rulebook and some use a certain amount of case-by-case judgement. Ensuring that all mods use an arm's length application of the rules on each and every occasion isn't easy nor particularly necessary imo. Life isn't fair, why should an internet forum be?
So it's been revealed that Lucero has one or more dupe / banned accounts from years ago. It isn't as black and white as an outright ban, when the new account has been used pretty well since. And I agree about the mustard cloth above; horrific! Not sure why he's taken that back though?!
As long as emotions are a part of humans, they will be a part of moderating. JanesyB obviously upset someone by correcting their spelling (and then having a massive row with them about it); he was unlucky in some ways, but if that mod backs down now, he'll only get twice as much 'why was he banned in the first place' compared to what he's getting already.

I think it highlights some glaring holes in the applications of the rules round here.
Janesy was banned when a mod lost his patience with him and permabanned him. his only offence at the time (the straw that broke the camel's back in the mod's eyes) was correcting somebody's spelling mistake for them.
Meanwhile we have another poster who has been permabanned several times but because he's been alright this time he can stay ?
Not on really is it ?
I actually don't have anything against lucero, but if such leaniency is shown here, why not elsewhere ?

Surprised it took you so long.
I do think that there a gulf of difference between saying you have 300bhp when you really have 295bhp and the sort of stuff that Lucero has posted.
I of course completely agree that "outing" a poster like this is 'sad and pathetic' whilst the actions described in said outing are entirely reasonable and exactly the type of trait we want in members here.
This forum did not tolerate Tom (my thread, btw), it did not tolerate Gav posting c&p'd spec lists (merlin), it did not tolerate portable sun guy (everyone?), it didn't tolerate mk1dubba and a long and illustrious list of others. I don't see a difference between those and this, bar the fact that there has been some time before Lucero was noticed as a returnee.
Debate the account on merit (or not) as you see fit, but you can't attack something ingrained in these forums that make them what they are - an intolerance of blaggers.

Since you'd be such an inflexible mod if you were in charge, presumably you'd also ban yourself for spamming Wikipedia pages? These moderating rules you keep referring to...where does it say that they are completely inflexible? How was it the straw that broke the camel's back if it was his only offence at the time? If he commited lots of offences, then you can't just take one offence and ask why was he banned for it.
Lots of questions that I doubt you'll be able to answer properly.
As long as hurfdurf stays a member of the unwashed it'll all work out 
Rest assured this is being discussed. It would be better if other banned members were not brought up again. each case is handled on its own merit, this being no exception.
A huge amount were. Rather recently.
Whoa, hang on, this thread wasn't started by moderators and at this point I do not believe any action has been taken! Chill your boots.
You're bickering like two little girls
Behave.

So all banned members that show they are repentant should be allowed to stay? In that case a HUGE amount of posters should be unbanned/allowed to have a new account...but they won't be allowed, most, if they sign up again and post who they were, will get banned.

Lucero posts a fair bit in the Mobile Phone forum as well, never caueses a single problem and is really helpful
I don't understand why DRZ has such a strong agenda. Fine he has numerous accounts, but he has clearly proved he isn't the same as he was from 6 years ago!
Discretion can be applied
