Signing up for another account while on a ban -> another ban.
Signing up for another account while on a TP for life ban -> life ban.
Using that account to post in the "don't ban" thread, just so EVERYONE knows you've done it -> pointing and laughing at the thick Yorkshire t**t.
Open and shut case, seems to me...

Precisely what Hoovooloo said. Creating new accounts while banned, pending a lifetime ban, is inexcusable.

In case anyone's interested, said thick Yorkshire t**t, as though he hadn't already cooked his own goose, has actually now posted abuse to my own space.
Not literate abuse, obviously, but that pretty much goes without saying. He's labouring under the illusion I'm Scottish (or, as he charmingly put it, "scotish") and proceeded to heap abuse on Scots in general.
Bless.
Note to h2g2 staff - you have this tosser's email, or failing that, IP address. You therefore know who his internet service provider is. You are therefore in a position to make an official, BBC-headed-notepaper type complaint to them about the abuse he's perpetrating using their systems.
You could get his entire internet access cut off! Wouldn't that be cool?
Even better, if he's logging on from work - you could get the c**t fired! Even better!
Of course, I'm not suggesting you do that right away. Let him post another message here, maybe two, before you get in touch with his access providers...

More abuse has been posted to a number of conversations I'm in. I'm assuming it's abuse - someone else has yikesed it. Shame really - illiterate moronic rantings are usually good for a giggle. The great thing is it's still politically correct and acceptable to point and laugh at people for being thick.
So... since the abuse continues, and since the w**ker is opening accounts at will, it seems time to fire off a .bbc.co.uk email from the staff to his service providers, requesting that he be prevented from continuing this spamming of the site. Mention of the new European laws against spamming might be in order - but I doubt it will be necessary. Most reputable service providers take abuse by their users seriously, and cut them off at the first suggestion of improper behaviour.
Go on, Editors - do the internet a favour and cull this

I still haven't seen enough evidence to justify the original ban given the people who are allowed to remain. However, I'm not saying the evidence doesn't exist - especially since my general impression of AWOL from the few times I have randomly come across posts was that they have always been trouble-making rather than constructive.
Meanwhile it seems pretty clear that AWOL has no intention of respecting the suspension period while a ban is considered. So if the ban is justified at all then it should be upheld for that additional reason. NB U247789 seems to be another duplicate account (unless it is someone's warped idea of a joke). The PS and these posts seem to be admissions of guilt: 817?thread=8172233" >F122233?thread=321977&skip=3&show=2

Researcher AWOL has been banned from h2g2 for life. This is due to the amount of offensive content posted (and since removed) to h2g2 since April:
How sad is this site,,lol,,
my heart breaks

I might as well carry on collecting evidence of multiple identities being used to post during a ban even though I still can't say the original ban was justified: U247912 claims "aka AWOL" in F107134?thread=322059

another valid point! least you are basing your opinions on factual evidence you are gathering rather than just jumping in and commenting on something you know absolutely nothing about
(rolls eyes at some of the previous posts in this thread)!
