First off honesty is the best policy.
I use three different bungie.net accounts. My main one is this one which I recently created on 7/7/11 so as to have an account that matched my xbl account. Previously I created an account named Balor. And my old account Frag Ingot which I created back in '07.
A few weeks ago, I was bored and wanted to see if I could provoke a phenomenon. I wanted to see if the community could come together and get it so that only gold posts were on the first page of the community forums. So, I posted an innocuous post in the flood. It was a simple post asking people to post something relevant in old golden community threads. I knew it was pushing rule boundaries, but I thought the worst it would get me is a minor ban. So I used my Balor account.
Well I was wrong. The ban-hammer smashed my head like a walnut. Balor was permabanned. I was like oh F%#*!
Curious to see the affect of being permabanned, I logged in with my main account (which I use with IE9, vs FF for Balor and Frag) and replied to a post. Then I logged in with Frag and replied to a post. Well Frag Ingot got a 3 day ban for circumventing the permaban. Now every time I post with Frag I get banned from the Disembodied Soul for three days.
Disembodied Soul issued an extended ban that expires 8/5/2011 11:01 AM.
Reason: An account owned by you has previously been blacklisted, using a different account to avoid the blacklist is not permitted.
I tried talking with the moderator whom banned me, but I had admitted that I had other accounts, and I could live for three days without posting. So my request to be un-permabanned was denied.
So, now my point. Because I have violated the rules severe enough to deserve a permaban, and despite my feeling that I contribute positively most of the time, I intend to abide by my punishment and never post again within the Bungie forums.
And as a final request, if a mod feels that I should adhere to my punishment, then please perma ban this account and frag's account. But if by some chance they feel I may deserve a reprieve, please unban Balor.
Thank you, and God bless.
