I believe Denali was banned, along with one of their other alters.

Oh, phew. I took late to mean something entirely different.
Denali was banned perhaps last August after a rant clearly violating forum rules. I didn’t see it, but it was mentioned on a fairly recent CE thread in which “The Moo” participated but was banned when the admins decided “The Moo” was an alter for Denali.
I miss Denali.
Something I don’t understand about being banned: how hard is it to set up a new email, etc and set up a new account if you really want to get around the ban?

Oh, sorry. Just banned.
Wasn’t Denali the one saying it was ok to have sex with kids???
Ah no. I know who you’re talking about but cannot remember the name. It wasn’t Denali though.

It was DW I think?
Good lord, no.
She invariably supported victims and with every fiber of her being wanted to protect against abuse of minors, especially sexual abuse.
Please delete your post and I will delete mine quoting it.
Nope, that would be Viney. Among other things.

Yes! That’s right. The name escaped me for a moment.
Are you a mod?

Whoa. I missed Denali getting banned. I’m pretty sure she and the Moo were 2 different posters though.
And I do think Viney was the person who went on a bizarre rant about children… that was really really bizarre. So was her fixation with saying rude things about a certain beloved TB stallion who is now deceased. That was really really odd too.

Apparently the same person, the mods noted it over in current events. https://forum.chronofhorse.com/t/wuflu-vaccines-shouldnt-go-to-old-white-people/754277/675
are you suggesting to break forum rules?
If you think I’m a mod, you might want to share your suspicions with some of the posters in the CE threads.

No.
I have a general outlook that if a rule is flat out unenforceable, in a lot of circumstances it is better to jettison the rule instead of pretend that you can enforce it.
It’s sort of like the logic of “If owning guns is a crime, only criminals will own guns”. If posters who break forum rules are banned, and it’s easy to sneak back on, only the most rule breaking banned posters will come back, the comparatively rule abiding banned posters will stay banned.
Now, I don’t think that gun laws are unenforceable, and am definitely in favor of stronger gun laws.
I think this forum was pretty important to Denali. I wonder if she has snuck back on, so I’ll need to check your join date, BrendaJane.

One theory was that TheMoo was an alter that was used at different times by different banned posters. This is consistent with the fact that Denali and TheMoo appeared together on some threads before Denali was banned, and, as I remembered it, had quite different personas.
However, in the thread in which TheMoo was banned, after the fact, I realized that in that thread TheMoo did sound like Denali, and different from the previous Moo.
So I think you’re right that Moo and Denali were two different posters for most of Moo’s posts.

I looked back at the post by the Mod stating that TheMoo was Denali.
After the reveal, one poster, Equkelly, who described herself as a victim of Denali said she was “thankful” Denali was banned (again) because of Denali’s “toxic bullying”.
THAT poster was banned six weeks later. Not from the whole forum, but from CE.
Sweet, sweet irony.

I don’t think it’s hard, but apparently when you create a new account it is hard to refrain from the behavior that got you banned in the first place. So people start complaining about you again and then the Mods probably check your IP address and determine that you are a previously banned poster.

OK. It actually seems sort of appropriate that if you come back as a new screen name and new, better behaved persona, that you should be allowed a second chance.
I agree that most people who had been banned would not have the self control to stick with an artificial persona when arguments get “heated”.
