Is HT really forum banned, though?
I can still search for, and Rep, his posts on the Turbine's forums. His Rep just appears to be turned off - not gone, merely hidden.
I admit I baited with a post on Geoff's post, and Jerry answered. He says HT is not forum banned (which is why I bothered to look into it myself). If HT was game banned, it would also register as a forum ban... but again, it does not seem like he really is.
Somebody here is being deliberately disingenuous, Jerry or HT. I admit to not really giving a fuck who it is. But, there is more then a little befuckery present.
Mem,
This is following the same process as Crane.
Ban the account. Owner logs in and realises it's permabanned and just gives up.
Then Cordo unbans the account, likely removing posting privileges for safety and then claims "wut? I did nossing!".
"It wasn't me, maybe they left in shame because they're Vault socks."
That's likely how the Crane account went.
Once your account is permanently banned, why would you keep trying to log back in? I reckon he can leave the account unbanned, but prevent it posting. If so, this would appeal to Cordoban's sense of humour.
Cordo is manipulating the truth to suit his own ends because no-one can question the facts - but reading between the lines is still transparent.
Hope you can see it.
