A reasonable assumption, but incorrect. Here's my painful story of being constantly bullied by SC mods. It makes me want to run for my safe space. Please allow me to quote myself from an earlier thread:
... Weird, can't get the quote function to work... cut and paste instead.

Well, to be honest I've a bunch more posts than 20. I used to be hopefultiger13. I was a subscribing/paying member for a couple of years and probably had a couple of hundred posts here (wow, I actually went and checked and I had 1286 as hopefultiger13 since joining in 2008). Anyway, the fact that I had over 1K posts w/o getting the hammer shows that I'm civil over here and have been around since 2008, so I'm not just a dude who built an account and is here to bother you.
Anyway, in December 2015
@uscbeckham blacklisted me. I'm still not sure why. I asked and he gave me a one word answer: trolling. I assume it was because I posted a thread about Hunter Johnson flipping to Clemson. There was no anti USC stuff in the thread, just an opinion that the QB situation was looking good for post Watson Clemson. In fact, within a couple of minutes after I was banned there were two threads about the same topic. They weren't nearly as civil as mine. I did mean to start a conversation (and honestly, probably a snarky one, with the USC fans here). Is that really trolling? Anyway, I could never get an answer back from him to get me reinstated. I appealed to
@Chris Clark and
@Brian Shoemaker but never got an answer. So eventually I unsubscribed and set up another account as a free member.
I cleverly disguised myself as hopefultiger14. I live out in Idaho and Last November took a trip to see a friend in Washington State. We drove down to the nearest weed store, bought some bud and watched the Clemson/USC game while totally stoned out of our minds. It had been almost 20 years for me, and I must say that the quality of pot is much improved (or maybe I'm just old). My friend passed out after over sampling and I thought coming over here to post in the FGF was a BRILLIANT idea. Needless to say I deserved and got the ban hammer.
So I cleverly disguised myself as hopefultiger15. Got the ban hammer a month or so back. Not sure why, but I didn't even bother to appeal.
So I cleverly disguised myself as hopefultiger16... and here I am.
