While it may come as a surprise to a few members, we suspect the majority of you will not be surprised to learn that Timelord (formerly known as Zoria) has been banned from PureZC. The reasons for this are many, so we'll outline them briefly.

To begin with, he has long history threats, legal and otherwise, against the site and the ZC developers, as you can see here and here. At the time, we ignored these as he seemed content to stay in his own bubble at AGN and avoid PureZC, but he's recenly returned to PureZC, and already the veiled threats against the developers have resumed.

Beyond this, he has a long history of fraudulent activity. I won't be posting the full details here so as not to publically dox the man, but it is an open secret that he is not who he represents. Far from being an aging British man with a myriad of health issues, he is younger, American, relatively healthy (albeit a drunk), and, most importantly, no stranger to the law. He's run various technology scams in the past, and has been sued by at least one US state for his activities. To put it very bluntly, he's a fraud and a charlatan. This initially came to light around the time he was stripped of his position of ZC developer, but again, we let it slide as he had been mostly content to leave PureZC alone. In hindsight, this was a mistake.

Lastly, he has a long history of... frankly disgusting behaviour in private towards some of our members, including unwanted sexual propositions and bigoted behaviours. These members have asked for the full details not to be made public, but the PureZC staff have reviewed the incidents.

Now, he's returned to PureZC and slid right back into his old habits. He continues to lie about several facets of his life in order to garner undeserved sympathy and paint himself as some sort of martyr. All the while, he's stirred up drama in every thread he's posted in, threatened the ZC developers while swearing up and down he only wants to talk, and picked bones with members he has private grudges against. Frankly, we've had more than enough of it. The ban is long overdue, though we've mistakenly granted him a high degree of clemency in the past for various reasons. We're rectifying that mistake today.
