<DIV><SPAN class=824210218-25122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I feel that a
serious miscarriage of justice was committed yesterday (Thursday, December
24, 2009) on the Zone. I had written some innocuous (harmless) code in C
(which I will reprint below), and this prompted an investigation by Doug
V, who came to the conclusion that, in his words, I had been "suggesting
ways . . . to hack [another user]'s account." The code I had written
has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking. Doug subsequently banned me for
two weeks for my (apparent) wrongdoing. I appealed the decision to the
administration, and have yet to get a response. Another user was banned
about thirty minutes before me on the same count. Here is the code, more
or less. Tell me, people: Is this, or is this not, considered "hacking
another user's account?" My opinion is that it is not.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=824210218-25122009><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is simply
a block of memory-allocation code (which, btw, won't work because malloc
needs a variable to store its result in), which I directed at the user
whose account Doug said I was suggesting ways to hack. Honestly, I feel
that our CL's, before banning people, need to know *what* exactly they are
dealing with (be it computer programming, speaking foreign languages,
etc), and they need to do a thorough investigation to figure out exactly
what harm, or lack thereof, could come from the questionable content
posted in quicknotes or other media.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

that Doug was right in banning me for this? Why or why
