Issues with PMs to ShiftySamurai | Forums

[ShiftySamurai]

Hello all,

This won't matter to most of you, but I felt the need to be transparent on this, as it has affected some decisions I have made in regards to a few situations.

As you can see from my posting info on the left-hand side of the screen, this account, named "ShiftySamurai", is not the account with the same name that I typically post under. I was unaware of this accounts existence until some interactions with Retribution and D2 Dahaka where they mentioned private messages had been sent, yet no messages from them appeared in my inbox.

Upon investigating the issue I found that there were two accounts with the exact same name. This wouldn't typically be an issue, except about 80% of my Private Messages have been finding their way into the inbox of an account I don't recall ever having signed into.

I have spent the last few hours replying to every PM that was waiting, even the few unfortunate ones that have been waiting from as far back as March of 2014.

I apologize for this situation, and as much as this should never happen, I ask that you please refrain from sending Private Messages to me until Monday, when I hope to have this sorted out and fixed.

There have been a few users who I have asked to PM me over the last few months, and I have made some decisions based on their lack of communications. Some of these decisions will be reversed. Most of them will be invisible to most forum users, but in a few cases they may result in forum users being reinstated from the ban zone. I can 100% understand their point of view and mounting frustration from trying to do exactly as asked while, from their point of view, being completely ignored.

Please accept my sincere apology. This will not happen again.

Follow up from my usual account for the purpose of "proof" so that nobody on the RL/Ubi side removes the post/account for impersonating. They are both accounts under my control.

If you must send a PM before I get this fixed, please try sending it to "RoguishRonin", as those *should* come to the correct account.

The last message I sent to you, gave me the choice between 2 copies of your name. I wasn't sure so I tried selecting both. Stuff like that I also send to other mods as well.

Jolan can you confirm if you have recieved a PM from me? I replied to you again re my skill game but I couldn't see if it had been sent. apologies if you recieved it 3 times

What a peculiar situation.

I am sure the people it affected will be pleased to have things sorted.

Issue is sorted as well as it can be at this moment. Messages to RoguishRonin will find their way to the correct inbox.
