One of the reasons for banning says 'Science What does this mean? It's in relation to the ID coneheads_dog or something. Does that mean like logical ban or test account?

You may or may not remember this but for a while when you looked at a banned user's profile the link to the offending post did not work correctly because gamrconnect.com is no longer owned by the VGChartz site owner and the bans were designed to link through gamrconnect.com instead of gamrconnect.vgchartz.com. I asked Brett to fix it and in the process of testing if the banned post link had truly been fixed I needed an account I could unban and reban over and over again while I worked out bugs with Brett.

Wow lots of people are picking up on that. But it was to fix the ban link thing.

Example: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/110435/draketolu/

The green number is a hyperlink. However, before it was fixed:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/113282/pre-renderishit/

The green number now does not link to the site.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Yeah, I remember that. It was only slightly annoying, so I just wrote .vgchartz on the address and that solved it.

Sorry about your dog

Wait a moment. Where are the bans for Slade, Ka-Pi and myself?

Do they not count?

They were all stupid bans and Smeags needs hoisting in the air with a rousing "Huzzah!" for not counting them.

As for FlamingWeazel?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
