Will Swordman be allowed to post or not that is the question?

No. By virtue of using a proxy server he or she was trying to shield their identity from the forum managers.

The only reason for a proxy server is to not show what server/ip address you are really posting from.

Forum admins cannot tell when someone using a proxy server and were banned would come back on. That is one of the main reasons one of the rules is that you cannot use a proxy server.

One of the admins posted that when this person was emailed or PM'd about using the proxy server they did not even respond. More evidence their intentions are not honorable.

Elder Epley,

Whoever Swordsman was could come back and post under their regular server under a new screen name and they could then post I am sure.

The person in question whose identity I do not know pmed me with a pm he sent to the administrators and said it was not so he was not on a proxy server. So what is the deal??? I said he but I don't know if it is a he or she but they are saying this is NOT so. So adminstration needs to clear this up

The Swordsman did send a PM to me because I was one of the staff online at the time, and I forwarded it to StMatthew. I'm sorry I can't do anything more. I'm just a moderator-- and the technical stuff is left up to those that actually know something about it. They don't want me in there messing around trying to figure out what is going on. I'm sure StMatthew will check into it as soon as he can.
