A bad mistake of mine.

[Gamefreak]

It seems, in my banning of JDog/Axel/Master J, I made a "slight" oversight.

When I went to delete Axel, I accidentally deleted Alex, a well respected member of the site.

Right now, JQ, kamikazi, and I are working on a way to restore her account.

[Darth Wyndisis]

At least her posts will still all be here, right?

[MagmarFire]

Oh, gosh... That's a boo-boo...

What are you trying to do to reverse it?

[Gamefreak]

I'm in the process of talking to Jack about this.

[Keaton]

Yar, I noticed that Alex's name showed up as a guest name.

I was all, "lol wut"

[Takun]

How did you get upside down letters Tach? Anyway. Thats lame. Is there any hope at all?

And why did Jdog get band? (No sympathy, just curiosity.)

[Darth Wyndisis]

He got three warnings, the last one being insulting/swearing.

[Twilight Wolf]

It was a bit sad, seeing as he had been around for so long, but it was only a matter of time before he finally slipped up fatally.

[Hi no Seijin]

Her posts will indeed still be here.  Banning doesn't delete the posts you made while you were a member.

To Takun, Jdog had trouble managing his anger and every now and then he would get a couple of warnings before he got it under control again.  It was a matter of time before he got three warnings considering he never showed much effort in keeping his anger in check.

[Keaton]

I probably shouldn't tell you all this, but Gamefreak started a betting pool on the amount of time it would take for him to slip up that one last time.

Shika won.



In other news, HnS, her account wasn't banned-- it was deleted.

[Hi no Seijin]

It's past midnight, I'm a bit tired, my mind isn't all together.  Please forgive my boo-boo.

[MagmarFire]

Eh, either way, her posts would still be there. After all, Gamefreak did delete all of JDog's accounts, yet we still see his name appear in Author's boxes for threads. Not that they're links, but they're still there.

[Keaton]

Administrators can alter post counts.  They can rebuild her... it won't show that she was the author of the posts/topics that she originally made, but she could still have the same information as before.

I'm pretty sure admins can also fudge join dates.  3:

I think the fix is over here - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=246737.0

here's a quote, emphasis bold

The first query is missing a where statement and thus will not work. Plus this requires your user to recreate their account, fill in details, etc. If you have a backup you can restore it to a temporary database. Then extract the users you delete and import them into your live site.

But only jack would be able to do that with the database.

The thing I'm worried about is Jack not understanding how SMF is coded.

That sounds extremely complicated. I hope we can get her back...
