In our last episode, thousand_suns was finally banned for good on 18 Oct 2007.
Posted by SMX on November 2: "He's back
again. This time as twisted_wings. Banning him
again. *sigh*"
Posted by LC on November 3:
I have received two more emails from Captain Cockbite.
LooseCannon,
Can you do me a favour? Will you please 'install' my
old username including password back so that I can
post any message I want? Because of that old news
reposting accident I was banned permanently last month
and then I had to login under a new username and
password. About my new username I think I should
delete my profile under that, perhaps from now on.
LooseCannon,
Can you do me a favour? I would like to rejoin the
Maidenfans.com forum because my old username
thousand_suns is still existing and yesterday I had my
account under the new username spiral_path deleted
including posts.
I am begging you, LooseCannon. I do not want to login
under a new username and password again. All I want
you to do is to sign me up. I almost forgot the forum
rules before I was banned from posting messages.
Please.
Perun's reaction to all this on November 4: "What the
fuck???"
LC, November 4: "The only reply I can think of is this: thousand_suns, you are banned from maidenfans.com. This means you are not welcome back, forever. If you return you will be removed again. Do not return. You are not welcome. Fuck off."

Perun, November 14: "I just checked his profile, and the guy has tried to log in
every single day since he was banned. It's just amazing."
November 23: thousand_suns registers two more new accounts and starts posting with one of them. Perun writes up another email:
Hello thousand_suns,
I am writing this email on the behalf of the moderator squad from Maidenfans.com with the intention to spare you and ourselves any future effort. Please read this thoroughly and please do what it says.
As you know, you were banned from posting on Maidenfans.com. The ban was executed after lengthy discussion among the moderators, who are: LooseCannon, SinisterMinisterX and myself, Perun. Also participating in the discussion were Shadow and Real World, who is the administrator of the website, i.e. the one in charge and command here.
The moderators are the people who were assigned to enforce the forum rules, and act when somebody breaks them. That means, if a member of this board violates the forum rules, or if someone is acting as a nuisance to other members of the board, we jump in and warn and/or punish the offending member. In your case, many other members have complained about your behaviour, and you were also violating the forum rules. Therefore, after we warned you several times not to do that again, we decided to ban you. That means, we decided that you are no longer wanted or welcome to post on this board. To make it clear once and for all: Nobody wants you to post on Maidenfans.com. Nobody appreciates your posts, nobody wants to read them and nobody wants you to make them. I am sorry to be so blunt, but you do not seem to understand it. If you are banned, that does not mean you can just return posting with a different username. By doing so, and making no effort to conceal your true identity (which we would find out no matter what), we believe that you are either trying to annoy us or trying to take the piss at us, or that you are simply very, very stupid. So, in case you still don't understand it:
DO NOT REGISTER WITH OTHER USERNAMES. WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO POST HERE.
You should have found out by now that we will ban those other accounts of yours immediately when we see them. It baffles all of us why you still try to do it. Why are you keeping this up? Why, on earth?
And just so you know it: It is of no use trying to send an email or a private message to LooseCannon, SinisterMinisterX, Real World, Shadow, myself or anyone else asking to allow you to post here again. In your case, all the moderators agreed immediately to ban you (which is a rare case). I hope you have finally understood. If not, I will once more put it in very, very simple words:
STOP POSTING ON MAIDENFANS.COM
You would be saving us and yourself a lot of time, effort and frustration.
Regards,
Perun and the Maidenfans.com moderator team
As we were discussing the above before sending it, LC piped up with "Try this:
LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK!"
You can't blame Loosey for getting frustrated. In the very same post, he reported the latest email he'd received:
LooseCannon,
Do you remember me? You are the person along with Perun and SinisterMinisterX who banned me from logging in to the Maidenfans.com forum for disobeying its rules. I am currently using a temporary username. I haven't posted anything yet under this username and will you reinstate my old username thousand_suns into the forums so that I can post any message I want? It means that I can login under that name after I delete my new username. By the way, can you remove my own post under the name twisted_wings? I am begging you. Please.....
AND THEN
He reported two of his own posts as twisted_wings. Asking to have them removed.
My own proposal isn't suitable for human consumption. As I said at the time: "Since I have no more patience with this knuckle-dragging buttnugget, I am the voice of unvarnished vulgarity."
Finally, on November 24, the end:
Real World: "The IP 60.53.183.40 has now been banned at a server level. He will have no access to any page on maidenfans.com and will simply receive a white page with no text."
LC: "He has other IPs he's accessed too."
Real World: "Give me a list I'll ban em all
"
LC: "124.82.82.169, 218.208.209.237, 218.208.210.116, 218.208.212.177, 218.208.214.186, 218.208.215.215, 218.208.243.27, 219.95.12.16, 219.95.232.1, 219.95.236.52, 219.95.27.71, 60.48.180.120, 60.48.180.170, 60.48.180.193, 60.48.180.48, 60.53.177.123, 60.53.177.22, 60.53.177.5, 60.53.178.177, 60.53.179.154, 60.53.179.45, 60.53.180.132, 60.53.180.44, 60.53.181.183, 60.53.182.102, 60.53.183.21, 60.53.183.64, 60.53.184.217, 60.53.185.192, 60.53.185.245, 60.53.185.42, 60.53.185.53, 60.53.185.69, 60.53.186.163, 60.53.186.19, 60.53.186.192, 60.53.186.95, 60.53.187.92, 60.53.188.216, 60.53.189.251, 60.53.190.240, 60.53.193.117, 60.53.193.14, 60.53.194.153, 60.53.194.182, 60.53.194.229, 60.53.194.27, 60.53.194.59, 60.53.194.76, 60.53.195.102, 60.53.196.144, 60.53.196.70, 60.53.197.179, 60.53.198.210, 60.53.198.33, 60.53.199.182, 60.53.199.45, 60.53.200.185, 60.53.200.88, 60.53.202.220, 60.53.205.64, 60.53.206.70, 60.53.207.153, 60.53.207.64, 60.54.81.214."
I think in the end RW wound up banning all of Malaysia just to be safe.
