[QUOTE="iamtiberius, post: 2803725, member: 37707"]TL;DR alts are a bad idea and don't provide anonymity. Unless you're running a Virtual Private Network, the mods/admin have system tools to see which IP address the users are sending from. An alt account won't hide your identity. Knowing this, about a year back, i created an alt to make fun of a new member claiming to have dug up ancient coins that were obviously fake. He was lying and obtuse, so i thought it was warranted; still a violation of the rules and i accepted my temporary suspension. The Admin rules described remind me of The Peace Officer Standard Training Council. If a sworn Officer or Dispatcher violates POST standards/rules or breaks a law, the council will convene and execute punishment based off the severity. These punishments are governed by guidelines, but all situations are unique, so punishment becones discretionary given the evidence and circumstances at hand. I don't think there's a better way. The only difference is tranparency. The public has the right to every detail or to even sit in on the council meeting. But, that is public safety, funded by taxpayers and guided by The Freedom of Information Act. This is a private forum. I understand the lack of transparency, but miss Steve.[/QUOTE]
