FurryDon:
What was your original callsign? You have given indications you played recently.
Everyone knows we use persistent names because alleg runs on reputation.
You seem to have had rep issues in the recent past which led to the name change.
Lately, you have been posting increasingly foolish threads in CC like someone we all remember.
I for one would like to know if you plan on clearing this up.
Not that I expect most other people to care, but I don't care for obfuscation.
Some more info for the curious...

I don't give a crap whether he's a new stupid voob or an old stupid voob under a different name, and neither should you

Who cares?
he's signed up for CDT, so even if he's voobish he's shown he wants to improve.

If that were true, we wouldn't HAVE hiders.
If it *is* Weylin and you couldn't tell without a shadow of a doubt the very first time he played or posted, then the hider is doing exactly what it's designed for:
To allow someone to play without being harassed or targeted.
Do you guys honestly think BV or TE would ever play if they didn't have unknown hiders?
Harassment falls on both sides of reputation.
As long as s/he is not disrupting games, STFU and let him/her play.

Hiders (linked callsigns) are useless:

Fun fact. I quit using my callsign "Weylin" because it gets booted 4000% more often than my non-weylin callsign that gets booted 1% of the time.
I'm actually wondering if I can make a new forum account without getting in trouble... To just start fresh as a newb that's a quick learner, regularly insults known idiots, and is a biologist that jokes about frozen semen, since that seems to be the requirements to get accepted into XT.
But overall, people don't change while using a hider or different account.

Yeah, that's why I'm not a fan of the Leaderboard.

Overall, I agree. However, on the rare occasion that they do, they should be allowed to stay "anonymous".

There is no anonymity within this (small) community, anonymity within here is only a illusion...
BTW, don't you have a list of hiders within your own squad forum and which squad haven't it's own one?!

If you want to "start over" here, the best thing is to post under your real name while posting under your new nape. Kudos if you get into an argument with yourself and make the original you ragequit
