Just transition your account from here to there. Use your same login information.

Look, login into your usual account. Then, go to an SE related site you never been on or SO and try to add a comment or vote on a random post. It will pop up, asking you to log in or create account. Try again.
But, uh, i need to go. I hope you figure it out!

@TheMattbat999 this will allow them to ask question in that site, not allow them to get unbanned from SO.

I think I understand now what is ECS - it's when you have many entities, and systems are a way to access them efficiently. I need a type of system that selects entities by their location. There is one already, but now I will extract an abstract base class from it. And also I need to refactor entities' spawn/removal, because now fire can affect a removed worm, and this bug crashes the game.

Creating a new account to get around a ban / suspension is bad idea. Quoted from https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/318486/228147:
> You asked about making a new account to circumvent the question ban.
>
> Please do not do that.
> Using multiple accounts to do anything the user couldn't do with their original
> account only is specifically against the rules. Both the system and human
> moderators enforce those rules.

At least the last line is sometimes a lie.
Pikalek
Pikalek
? You mean about enforcement?
nwp
nwp
Also chat formatting makes me sad.
Yes
Pikalek
Pikalek
Chat formatting also makes me sad. I edited that a number of times - that was the best I could do before it locked :( Maybe I just need to finish my coffee & get more chat formatting experience though.
Alexandre Vaillancourt
Alexandre Vaillancourt
The only formatting that can be applied to multi-line messages is the "code" formatting (fixed font)...
It makes me sad too.
Pikalek
Pikalek
15:09
Yes.
Alexandre Vaillancourt

@nwp You've seen moderators not apply that?
nwp
nwp
It's not just you. Multiline code or quotes in combination with anything else just doesn't work. It's been complained about for probably 10 years now. But hey, we have SO screw with voting which is totally more important.
@AlexandreVaillancourt Yeah, you, just now/a couple of hours ago.
Pikalek
Pikalek
Technically, as long as at least 2 humans enforce the rules, it's true.
nwp

(Don't worry, I won't tell :D)

Also, the ban isn't on GDSE, it's on SO.

@Pikalek A quote is a single > at the start IIRC (or after the :numbers)

but it doesn't.

^ yup, that's what my first pass looked like

Not per line, per message
Pikalek

Yes, the per message not per line is what I see as being the problem.
But maybe a minor problem in the bigger scheme of things.

@nwp Oh!

For the record I don't think this needs to be moderated. Then again I can see SE just kicking people out for not following the guidelines.
Alexandre Vaillancourt
Alexandre Vaillancourt
I guess moderators should handle this, as this is a way for user to increase the bad content on a site.
But then, we're not expected to spend our days to try and find those users...
nwp
nwp
15:54
But then again you stumbled across it. But then again no harm was done. But then again it is a violation. But then again you're not a moderator on SO. But then again you could contact one. But then again that would be spending your day chasing those users ...
The woes of smurfism :D
I really want the smurf term to catch on. It's so cute and somehow fitting.
Users: "Everything is on fire! Fix it! It burns!"
Smurfs: "La-la-lalalala"

I did not need to do anything, the system did if for me; they were prevented from creating a second account :P
But yeah, I could have told them to not do that because it's bad.
