Being Hoovooloo is a state of mind. And I might add, not one I'd suggest you want to be in!

H.

There is no Hoovooloo but Hoovooloo.

This post has been removed.

This could become interestingly confusing for the management. After all, it's only ME that's on premod. Am I running the other account calling itself Hoovooloo?

You tell me.

H.

No, I'm Hoovooloo.

I should add that I'm in no way encouraging anyone to open new accounts, call them "Hoovooloo" then pretend to be me. I certainly won't be doing anything of the sort.

Bonus points for funniest thing said while under pre-moderation...

H.

The really funny thing is that the last few hidden posts were not by me, but by two people saying "I'm Hoovooloo", one from a "Researcher 2xxxxx" account, the other from an account named "Hoovooloo" created just to post here.

Neither of them were me - one thing I've NEVER done and would not do is waste the time of the technical staff of DNA tracing whether an account was me. I may say things here under pseudonyms, but I have never and will never conceal my identity from the staff. Note that I made no attempt to avoid premoderation by use of other accounts, except for the short time I was under the impression I'd been banned completely.

It seems that other people saying "I'm Hoovooloo" caused a sense of humour failure, however. Shame. I thought it was quite funny.

H.

Am extremely glad that I didn't go ahead and post "I'm Hoovooloo and so is my wife" as post 61 - it would look pretty silly now...

So have they told you why you're on pre-mod yet?

Oooops! Just read your new name.

Glad you're out of it now, but did they explain it at all?

Nothing at all beyond the usual non-specific "you broke the Rules".

I haven't even had an email telling me I'm off premod (not that I need one, of course, but you'd think they'd have procedures or something when they do stuff like that, wouldn't you?).

But it's OK - I live with a woman, so I'm used to irrational behaviour, having to be a mind reader, and being held responsible for things I have no idea are happening!

Another excellent demonstration of how if you're in a conversation, it's BETTER to be the one being premoderated, than not.

never mind the management, what about those of us without access to the secret layers of h2?


btw yesterday when i went to JtP's page it appeared that he was in premod too. now *that* could have caused some confusion (he's not in premod today though)



the editors have posted an explanation about H's premoderation - i think its on the community soapbox page.

Hi Hoo .

Good to see you back. Obviously the mod's found the case against you weak and unnecessary. I wonder if they will now talk to the accuser about wasting police time?

By the way I would never pretend to actually be you, far too big a pair of boots for me.

Blessings,
Matholwch /|\.

You go away for a couple of weeks and look what happens!

Hi Hoo. Presumably "Welcome back" wouldn't be appropriate?
