Is it really now okay for former members who had their accounts closed administratively to rejoin?

Because I know a couple of people who would like to take advantage of this new policy.

Thanks!

You mean their old accounts are closed by mod due to multiple TOS violations and want to rejoin VJ now?

More like resuscitation or zombie?

At least one has rejoined. Unless you're AJ, many people have a hard time keeping up a pseudonym. Linguistic tics and specific geographic references can give a person away, especially those in the grasp of the Dunning-Kruger effect (so sad).

Dunning–Kruger effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome. I didn't know it was a thing until I looked it up. Maves has a very extensive vocabulary, this isn't the first time one of her posts sent me to the search engine.

I'm just happy that somebody else gets confused by the things she says.

Big words hurt my brain.

B_J, you will forever be one of my VJ boyfriends for your well-reasoned, well-tempered and literate posts, notwithstanding your pleated chinos.

Some things just never go out of style.

I'm going to assume by the lack of response that it IS now okay. Tell your friends!

I wrote a ticket to the admin (contact us form) to 'complain' my ban.

Guess what?

The ticket is closed due to inactivity!

No response from the VJ site admin at all (I guess it is that Captain Ewok or maybe should be Captain AWOL instead)

I thought the lack of response might be pleading the fifth. It would be hard to reconcile any yes or no answer to this question with events as they have actually occurred.

I remember that kip came back briefly with a new account, then he was shut down quickly by the mod.

I think Kip's problem was he went right back to being Kip. Eric was also allowed to come back and he lasted a little longer than Kip.
