The Curious Case of Hyp64
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2010 11:17 pm
So, there was a phenomena on USTREAM tonight, before EDT became EST.
So, I was stopped playing Pokemon Red to visit TBB and kill off some boredom. I log on via the chat (on ustream.com), and typed in the following
Hyp64
(my password)
Now, I'm on the chat, but somethings fishy. Banondorf register's my name as Hypp64 (in other words, a completely different name). Thus, I was treated as a new user, until Banon linked this "false name" with my actual account, and banned me for 30 minutes for using the nickchanger without authorization.
If you knew me IRL, you would know 2 things about me.
1. I hate getting in trouble
2. I try to avoid getting in trouble
3. If I get in trouble, I fight it (if it's an unjust accusation)
I don't know how to change your nickname. And even if I did, I wouldn't do that. So, of course, I got worried, and contacted a user (to try to tell a mod what happened). What ended up happening was the user told me to suck it up. Then, I finally got through to a mod, and told him what had happened.
Of course, the mod went forth and stated I had changed my nickname without authorization. I then told them I did not know how to do that, and that it was probably an error on USTREAM's part.
The mod said that they felt I was lying to them- that there was no way my nickname could have changed unless I did it with a Nickchanger, and that because of how odd and eccentric my case was, they would not unban me .
So here's my question... (to anyone who still supports my case), what in the world happened?
I really want this resolved so this rare occurrence doesn't inconvenience anyone again, because this so far has happened on 2 separate occasions, only this time I got banned.
(please don't respond with "Why are you crying about this?" or "its just a stupid little glitch, get over it", because I'm trying to figure out what happened so this doesn't happen to anyone else).
