Alright so I have another account, an old one, which is Snipes Teh L33T, without underscores. Due to some problem I couldn't get my gamertag to link to that account, and I had to make a new account. I wanted people to remember who I was in groups and stuff, so I made the username similar just with underscores and slight capitalization differences.

The big problem is that all my PM's go to my old account, even if the sender uses the Message User button, it still sends it to that account, which annoys me to no end, especially when I think I have no messages because they don't go to my real account. I have sent a few emails to Bnet Bugs, but have gotten no reply, so I have come here, maybe to get some help.

How did this get me re-banned?

I got blacklisted for something stupid I did, not reporting a member when I should have, that was totally my fault and I feel I deserved that, so I have no problem with that. But I was having some problems because my blacklisting had not ended after it should have ended (It wasn't a time zone thing, I waited till well after 10:00 for a a an that should have wore off at 6 o clock). I knew that I didn't get any PM's so I signed on to my other account to check my PM's to see if the mod had responded. Of course, when I went back to my real account, and tried to post again, I got ANOTHER blacklisting error, saying that Disembodied Soul had banned me for trying to use another account to avoid my ban... I NEVER EVEN POSTED WITH IT. I got another 2 day blacklisting for something incredibly stupid. I don't think I should be blacklisted for errors withing Bungie's own site.

As I said, I have gotten no response from Bnet Bugs, so if any moderators, or user want to post their comments, I would appreciate it.

I'll be on my own side.

The Soul is automated; he has no way of being able to tell whether or not you posted with that account. Besides, the fact that you got banned before you had a chance to post only reaffirms his effectiveness against people who truly are trying to evade a ban. Sometimes, people get caught in the crossfire due to unusual circumstances.

As for your odd bug, try PMing Achronos or maybe runningturtle, but I'm not exactly sure what he does...>_>

By PM, he means to actually go to that user's profile and actually send a private message to that person.

Here, I'll help you out. Click here, and send him a message

last time I tried to PM an employee I never got a reply, I'm assuming he gets so many PMs he doesn't read all of them? I don't know.

ut I think theres a better chance if I post here.

Your old account was permenantly suspended from the Bungie.net public forums. What happens in that process is that a moderator will temporarily suspend your account and then later it will be permenantly banned from the forums. This may have been because of various issues, such as prior warnings, suspensions, ect...

When someone selects the message user button the message will be directed to that individual account. There is no bug or mistake; others are simply just messaging your old account instead. If there is an issue where I am mistaken you may report it to a moderator or an administrator and I am sure they will be more than glad to assist you.

When you sign into an account that is banned from the forums and then you sign into an alternate account via the same IP address, you will receive a 2 day ban from an automated user, Disembodied Soul. If I were you, I would stop signing into your old account and let it automatically delete in one year.

After that there will be no more confusion and you will not have to worry about another surprised banhammer, unless you are planning on disobeying the Forum Rules. Just read the Code of Conduct, the stickies, the rules and you have nothing to worry about. If you would like any further assistance, send me a private message and I will be more than happy to help you out with what I can. Just remember that you have no rights. Play nice.

Ok, I didn't really understand this.... My old account was NOT permanently banned, it had the same 2 day suspension as my good account. I have confirmed that even when users click the message user on one of my posts, it would still send it to that old account, if that isn't what you mean, please clarify.
