He was breaking the ToS by posting from multiple accounts, and for that reason alone his sock accounts should have been removed from the forums. Ppl going apeshit about Cordo banning players for their opinions, when he is supposed to remove sock accounts, it's his job.
so removing sock accounts is his job?
Really - pretty limited job scope. No wonder he's so petty.
I thought his job was community manager, of which a role is forum moderator of which a task is using discretion where multiple accounts are used.
If they're used for causing trouble - absolutely understand. Look at dipshits who drift in here and spam crap, then disappear (exception for Astraghal, he keeps coming back like Herpes). That's what those discretionary powers are for. Abusive, disruptive, obnoxious, offensive - pretty sure you're mature enough to know their purpose without being pedantic.
Crane wasn't causing trouble. He and other simply opposed Uurcock's point of view. Yet Uurcock is allowed to flame anyone he wants with impunity??
Only a complete dick would go all rules lawyer and keep saying the mantra "but the TOS! but the TOS!" when we all know the rules are applied with ALOT of discretion and inconsistently.
Those forum rules are there to be used to prevent abuse, but when no abuse exists - it just becomes a BS excuse.

1. One person, One Account
You are permitted one Community account for posting on the Community Sites. Players who are found posting from more than one account will be asked to choose an account for use while posting, and posting privileges will be removed from all other accounts. Additional or secondary accounts created or used for the purpose of trolling, circumventing a ban, or otherwise violating these Community Guidelines may result in the permanent ban of any and all associated Community and Game accounts, at the Turbine Community Team's discretion.
I draw your attention to the bolded red section.
It says players will be given a choice.
It doesn't say insta permaban on all accounts.
Ofc, Cordo is invoking the blue part because Crane was "trolling".....
No, because he thinks he is Judge Dredd and he can do whatever the fuck he wants to protect his sycophants.
His job is to moderate, not operate his own private forums for his mates.
If Uurcock digs himself into a hole being a smartass, then Uurcock should dig himself out and have the maturity to deal with it, not cry for papa Cordoban.
Having seen Uurcock's behaviour here, he was deliberately trolling as much as anyone on that thread. And what about his follow up behaviour the next day on the forums?
I'm all for the rules if they're applied consistently - level playing field and all that. What can I say, I'm old school and believe in the antiquated concept of honour.

and to add, I enjoy rubbing your noses in it once in a while.
Cool, then enjoy the blowback too.
