What about gimmicks?
 
AFAIK, gimmicks are relatively safe under the current UBB forum because IP checking users is a pain in the pooper. But with vBulletin, IP checking will be much easier, si? So the value of gimmicks will be diminished amirite, because mods/admins will easily be able to figure out who the gimmick is?

IMO gimmicks are popular on 2+2 because it's hard to figure out who they belong to. Switching to vB will make gimmicks obsolete imo. IMO.

imo.

Or if I'm wrong somewhere please correct me.

Jokes don't stop being funny just because you know who told it.

Annoying gimmicks might have troubles, but funny gimmick accounts should have nothing to worry about.

Sam - this would presume that NT!'s (or insert moderator's name here) girlfriend fingered his a-hole the previous night, thus leaving him in a modestly agreeable mood.

can somoene tell my how my gimmic got banned?
I made my friend use his email to reg for 2+2 (from his house) and then i made the post from my house.

next thing i know, all my accounts were banned for like 7 or 10 days.

For the most part, if the gimmick isn't malicious, it's not going to get the owner banned as well. That's my policy at least.

Re: What about gimmicks?
 
IMA CUT U is not my account sir, or at least I didn't make it. I only have one gimmic and that was just so I could ask a question about Vegas lodging without making it obvious I would be there, because it was at the time a top secret trip (not my choice).

Diablo was not involved.

Well he was, but not in that part.

Mods will have a button on each post that they can click to get the IP address and hostname it was posted from. They'll also be able to search a username and get all IP addresses that person has posted on and every user who's used any of those IP addresses.

Basically, NT! will be able to not only ban gimmicks, but find their owners and ban them in about 20 seconds each.

Egg on my face, good sirs, for I do declare it was foolish, most foolish indeed, to think my services were needed in such a festival of sausageschnitzelbrauten as 2p2 though I implore and humbly beseech you to fear not, for whenever my services are needed I shalt be there.
