I don't understand what's preventing him from just making a new account, on a practical level anyway.
Exactly.
I don't believe anyone denied a new account to a member who asked to be banned. How could anyone prevent a hacker from creating an account here? This site isn't friendly to make a new account though - I've heard of people complaining that the new accounts are difficult to make. But how could any of us, or even why would any of us deny someone like dcj a new account is mindboggling, and it makes no sense.
Also, if he'd ever want to be back, I can unban him this instant.
I think we've seen a broader decline in acceptance towards hackers really. Having ANY public profile as a hacker is nerve wracking. People have allowed technology to alienate us within our personal lives; nonetheless that's
mostly paranoia. Most of us just want to be ourselves & help people. People & governments do not make this easy.
Many hackers, including myself, often feel too different to associate with anyone.
Just remove the word "hacker" there, and put various species of booyakashas instead and it's the same feeling, word for word lol
But, I'd like to know who it was, that he claims "have denied him the access to the other account". On what grounds?
And how did he speak to them after he was already banned? I don't think anyone has our e-mails, and Alex is notorious for taking a long time to respond to anything, and why would he disallow someone like dcj access to the another account is something I can't fathom.
DCJ, if you're reading this, make another account god dammit

or I could unban you, and see who it was that you claim to have denied you the access.
WE LET YOU IN!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Maybe I should have used a bigger font.
I find it a blessing to be in a tech community that's not enforcing demanding standards on anybody. Technology is here to support our humanity & it's amazing to see that sentiment echoed by everyone who isn't necessarily working within the realm of gadgets & overpowered machines. The creative people here are just plain cooler than AI to me, perpetually. Letting people in is our obligation to basic hospitality, I hope we can all do more about that through technology.
