I've never experienced this problem, although I didn't have time to check right now.

I will, however, point out that it would be helpful to know what browser, theme etc. you're using.

Actually, it's good right now. It's only happened twice this week is all.

Is MS1029 still trying to get back on here?

Yes, but he generally tries through proxies these days, so we gave up IP banning quite some time ago.

Because there are still some IP addresses blocked from when we were doing IP bans. All depends on what IP address you get allocated to you on a given day.

ahhhh. That's why Nate's in charge. He's smarter than me. This means that he's smarter than the rest of you, too, as I am obviously one of the blazing intellects here. Escuse me while I eat McDonalds and smoke a cigarette.

Someone is, and the MO fits MS1029.

On the other hand, it could be an existing member trying to quietly create a multi. Difficult to be 100% sure.

MS1029 was a guy who came here and followed the line of so many other unfortunate noobs of trying to be a useful member and instead just ending up spamming lots (cf. Your sig, I guess, plus many others including Mars the Mudokon and Ackril the Vykklig). After several warnings and infractions and getting horribly mauled by the local noob-maulers, he decided to give up on his attempts to fit in and instead settled for spamming fulltime, after which he caught gorman disenza (aka. he got perma-banned). Now he fills his time by creating new accounts in an attempt to re-enter the forum and continue his spampage, while Nate fills his time by identifying and deleting them. This has been going on for two or three years now.

He's like a demon king from one of those epic fantasy game series that keeps getting resurrected and unsealed every time someone decides to make a sequel, and Nate is the hero who keeps slaying him using a magical sword knowneth as 'Your Account must be Verified by an Administrator Before you can Begin Posting'.

You missed the vital piece of information; his first (double-sized) infraction was for creating a multi, which he claimed was actually his brother. The infraction would have expired soon enough but he spammed in that time and got banned. He couldn't wait out the banning, so he created another multi. And another. And now we're back to the end of Splat's story.

I take that as an insult Splat. In my time gone I've taken therapy classes. I don't spam anymore. Being annoying? That's part of my charm.
