Many things are possible.
- On Wrong Planet, no account is ever closed, removed, deleted, or whatever else you chose to call it.
- WrongPlanet Rules
Quote:
* Each user of WrongPlanet is only permitted to hold one user account unless given permission by the owner of WrongPlanet.net.
jamieg, you have advised someone to do something that they (and you) cannot do, namely (1) above, and then advised them to do something that is against the rules, violating (2) above.
Perhaps you were not aware of the former consideration, although you should be able to deduce it from the Terms of Service:
Quote:
By posting to the forums, or any other sections of this site, you signify agreement that you
are giving WrongPlanet permission to use, modify, and reproduce your submission, in part or
in whole, in any way, shape, form, or method in which we decide to do so, at any point in
the present or future at our discretion.
Telling people to create a second account is clearly an incitement to that user to break the rules, as a result of which they could be banned.
You were informed of all of the above, yet you seem intent on making an argument out of the situation. Please read all the above carefully, including the prior posts, and abide by the rules and terms of service.
Unless Alex makes a major change of policy, which he is perfectly at liberty to do, or (more likely) not do, accounts will never be deleted, closed, etc.
