Fastest Granite Cookies and an oddity.

Newbie Olddoggie's first thread AND newbie Faulkner's first post, BOTH in the same thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3302213
Happened shortly after DU came back up.

I wonder if there was any connection between them....adding a dash of tinfoil: I wonder if any connection to DU server issue? (I looked and could find no posts by Olddoggie that were disruptive... not sayin he or she wasn't an earlier disrupter who got TSed but if that were the case how did Olddoggie get back in and stay long enough to post 13 posts?) Another possibility: were these two accidentally TSed when DU server came back online?

1. They may have been caught in the spam filter

2. I am relatively computer illiterate but

...wouldn't they have been caught by that filter while trying to sign up?

3. No

If one tries to post too many times during a given duration (like 10 times in 30 seconds for example) the poster gets TS'd. They can email the admins to get reinstated.

5. Ah...OK sorry to be a pain but what about Faulkner?

Only one post and TSed! I suppose the spam filter may explain him...but BOTH out of the same thread???? What are the odds?

I am wondering if this was an accident related to our server going down. I researched Olddoggie's posts and found nothing disruptive... he or she did feel like someone trying to sneek back in but to be honest that may just be my :tinfoilhat: acting up.

6. They may have had his/her IP on a block list

8. Sorry, still beating this horse: So how did he get to even post at all?

Maybe we should send Fox Mulder to ask Skinner about this.

9. I do not know...

10. I alerted the mods to this just now just in case.

Sure, there is fun to be had there but it would be sad if these TSed newbies got TSed because of some kind of glitch due to the work being done by admin on the servers.
Thanks for the help KW

[Fox Mulder]

13. Mr. "Center of the Mysterious" Fox Mulder:

While researching Olddoggie I came across his name in one of YOUR threads:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7720640

So what do you know about this matter? Why are you hiding important stuff???

Where O where is Scully when we need her??? :tinfoilhat:

[havocmom]

4. But one of them only had ONE post

Not a spam situation if only one post.

[KitchenWitch]

7. IP block maybe

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. Both of those tombstones were on purpose

There were no problems on the server associated with the down time, as far as we are aware.
