Haha, wow, same AC this is replying to, saw the AH2.0 accusation and wasn't paying enough attention to the thread I was in. The direct parent comment was the first time I entered the thread, but it still stands that the accuser for AH 2.0 may have privileged site access, or they are just an idiot wildly guessing to try and push their agenda of blaming their bad actions on to others.
Do you think aristarchus really cares about AC posting? They used their account, even for the alleged doxxing according to janrinok, so why would aristarchus care about AC posts? Wouldn't the AC spammer apk care more?
Anyway, good luck whoever tries to keep this beast alive. Janrinok seems to at least be sincere in trying to run the site well, even if he thinks terrorist content is within the community's free speech purview. Woops, I mean generalized terrorist content. If it targets anyone specific, like a community member, then that is too much! Lol, still janrinok seems sincere and tries hard to address complaints. I will criticize him for not updating the site's about page blaming non-perl skills, puhleeze just tell people how they are tracked and don't be misleading. Saw pipedot recently, at least there they say IPs are recorded and not sold. Since another comment was modded troll or spam, a reminder that logged in user's AC comments were revealed by staff to always be tied to the UUID, so staff can always find out a ligged in user's AC comments. Misleading eh?

I have no privileged access at all. I volunteered today to help the site, but I've never been a member of the staff. I simply remembered Azuma Hazuki 2.0 rage quitting the site, recognized the behavior, and was able to infer that the same person was responsible for the AC comments. When you repeatedly disrupt the site with spam comments, both from an account and as an AC, it's easy to recognize patterns and link the AC comments to the account. I don't need privileged access to see what the AC has admitted: they were, indeed, behind the Azuma Hazuki 2.0 account.
Incidentally, the doxxing is very real. Runaway1956 posted that he lives in Little River County, Arkansas. Because he has directly said as much, I am not revealing any secrets. I have seen a comment where aristarchus replied to Runaway1956, not as an AC but from the aristarchus account, and posted what he believes is Runaway1956's real name. It turns out that this name and Runaway1956's county of residence uniquely identifies a single individual. I don't know if this individual is Runaway1956 or not. However, if this is not Runaway1956, then aristarchus has targeted an innocent person for harassment, and that is horrible. If the individual is Runaway1956, then the comment effectively doxxed Runaway1956. There is no ambiguity, since this comment was posted by the aristarchus account. I despise Runaway's comments, and I've repeatedly condemned many things he said. I emailed the admins to complain when he posted a journal that used an ethnic slur for Native Americans in its title. But doxxing is wrong.
By the way, I also emailed the admins at one point to express my concerns about how IPID hashes are retained. In fact, I had a conversation with one site admin about this particular issue because of privacy concerns.
But if I am going to be intellectually honest, I can't give you a free pass just because I actually agree with quite a bit of what you say. If you're going to break the law, or if you try to disrupt this site, I'm going to be honest enough to criticize you as well. I email the admins when I have concerns because my goal is to get real action taken instead of just disrupting the site with AC spam. In effect, my issue with you is the same reason Azuma Hazuki has criticized aristarchus' methods. It's not about your political views. It's about your methods.
THIS ACCOUNT IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED

You forgot to change your IP address - your comment and the parent comment you are talking about are from the same person.

And janrinok is again abusing admin powers to dox ACs. Pathetic. Time to let SN die a noble death, falling on its own sword, or hoist by its own petard.

Funny how they abuse their power all the time then ask for proof. If I cared I would keep a log of comment links, but that is investing too much effort for their antics.
The best part?
"same AC this is replying to"
Literally said I was the same AC, though I can see the wording isn't very clear. Dalek is busy becoming what they hate, and the irony of them all mocking "aristarchus version of free speech" while trying to block speech they don't like, why that irony is nutritiously delicious! Make Soylent News Science and Tech Again! Maybe their heart is in the right place.

Sorry but I have to call you stupid again. Basic reading comprehension is all you need.

Maybe stop abusing your privileged access then? Then it wouldn't matter how tired you are, just say no! Uh oh, I mentioned your abuse, guess this comment will be moderated spam, troll, or flamebait. Sad days when staff allow this rampant abuse then lie about it, while obsessing about AC identities. You are one weird frood, and noy the good way.
