It was Inge Jones...  searching brings up this:  http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/member.php?userid=14

but only when you locate a post - I searched through all the Is in the member list, all traces of Inge have been scrubbed

God help us all... utter nonsense at work in the 21st century! Don't it make ya glad to be alive?

[Inge]

A thought has just occurred to me, is it possible they're doing it for publicity?  Maybe Maxis have let it be known they want a site to make a documentary about?

of late that seems to be the Motto for VS

Well I have to say that none of this makes very much sense to me. Now I haven't been reading the threads in question, just gathering 2nd hand information, but from what I understand first Wintermute wanted to ban Inge, but Rennie wouldn't let him and made a pretense about taking some kind of stand about it or some such thing. That didn't make much sense to me because obviously Inge and Rennie aren't exactly best friends at the moment. All I could think of was she was just trying to make herself look good. So then Wintermute gets mad because of this and leaves in a big huff.

Well now Inge really is apparently banned? Which would sort of make sense and follow the pattern of the way things went with Pescado, except that if she was going to ban Inge anyway she could have avoided the whole Wintermute drama and kept him there, since hacks and beating MTS2 seem so important to them.

Only things I can think of is either she wanted Wintermute gone or just wants to create as much drama as humanly possible.

[Inge]

Well I am not banned, more sort of partially wiped.   I can actually log into my account I discovered.  But having done that, most of the system doesn't recognise me, so for instance I cannot view or edit my profile, nor view anyone else's.  I can send PMs and receive them, but I cannot read them.

I haven't tried seeing if I can post a forum message because I am already weary of having to wait several days to see if they appear.

[Motoki]

So she was so firm that she didn't want you banned that she let Wintermute leave over it but she has no problem whatsoever with you being partially wiped and more or less unable to function as a normal user on their site? 

[laeshanin]

Inge, aren't you totally cheesed off with this? You must have the patience of a saint because I think I'd have kicked her arse by now - preferably while wearing some decent toe 'tectors.

[Inge]

It's really getting to the point where I am more amused/bemused than anything else really.   I am intrigued to see what they get up to next.

I certainly wouldn't have had the patience for this BS  either

[Motoki]

I'm betting she eventually makes some bullshit excuse that it was a server problem.

You can't just make some big dramatic stink over how you don't want someone banned, and then 5 minutes later do something that for all intents and purposes serves the same purpose as a ban without looking like a nut and a hyppocrite.

You mean a buttocks problem, don't you?

In a perverse way, I see exactly where you are coming from. Sometimes it IS better to let them hang themselves and enjoy the flapping.

[J. M. Pescado]

Ah, Inge is in my position now. That's what happened to my account when Rentech decided to "not-ban" me. But yes, it's more amusing than it is annoying. I mean, who really cares? It's obvious by now that Rentech.com is Not As Awesome.

[Andygal]

Rentech is kind of shooting herself in the foot, "banning" all the best modders isn't she?

*shakes head*

[nectere]

I think the general rule of thumb is that you are not allowed to talk about other sites and certain people on certain sites lest someone is watching you and thus commences with the ban hammer. Its the Gestapo Regime!

So basically she can deny having banned either of without lying due to a technicality?

She should become a politician.

I agree Motoki...she certainly has a politician's talent for speaking out of her 'server' 

[Baddmark]

Witch, I think I was Inge Jones on there.  Try with both names.

Edit: No I think you're right.  Also as it's my birthday today I would have expected to be listed in the birthdays, but as I am not I have to assume the account has been vaped entirely.

A bit weird really, because whatever made them decide to put me on moderated, I certainly hadn't done anything since to deserve "punishment".  I am not sure therefore what policy has been applied to me.

Happy birthday, although I'm guessing it's not that good a day if you're posting on here instead of getting buttocked in the pub. Whoops! I mean served in the pub. It's easliy done, isn't it?

[aussieone]

LOL.....oh the endless connotations.....on a roll people

that's about the size of it. reminds me of the 2003 recall election in California when Gray Davis was dubbed a smorgasbord governor, which ever special interest group was paying the most that day thats the position he supported  until the next day

Happy Birthday, Inge.  I do hope it has been a good one in spite of this other stuff going on here.  I decided to try sending you a PM on VS just to see what would happen, and this is the message I received:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
