Sounds like a plan to me. Right now there's only a couple of people who've mentioned anything to me about her possibly being LMS and they won't say anything about it to anyone.
Just for FYI and record keeping sake...
PM sent to my blog:
Hello, this is wendylorene
I was wondering why I was banned from bellazon?
https://www.facebook.com/wendylabel
She is using beholder_of_beauty as a messenger. PM's sent to me:
wendylorene was curious as to why her account was banned, and she asked me if I could ask you why this happened.
She's wondering if there's anyway possible she can communicate with you and the other moderators about this issue? She stated that her wifi connection on campus is bad, so she wasn't aware of reposts if she made any and she also stated that most of her updates were forums that hadn't been updated in months.
I also want to add to my previous post, another the reason we should try to keep how we found out wendy was trolling is there are other members we are suspicious about. We don't want them to know all our methods of how we figure someone is trolling. For all they know we just base it off of IP addresses 
In regards to the whole Wendy situation you mention RafSecret. I have chatted with her through PM for a while now. She is from NZ. Being from Australia we bonded over our closeness she is def from there not too sure on why her ip is tracking to Bosnia. She does travel but that's weird. She is however curious about Wendy being banned. She asked me why and I said I didn't know. They might be friends and she's just wondering why. But it's just funny that you brought her up thought I'd let you know.
So mums the word, and say nothing about why she's banned. Got it 
Here are all of Rafsecret's IP addresses in order they were used starting with the most recent:

So either she was in Bosnia/Herzegovina several times or ...
Kevork if you are "friends" with her perhaps you can goad her into talking about travel and places she'd like to go or has been too.
Ok will do. From what she's told me she's been to Europe before. That's the most I know. But I can play detective lol.
I got a multiple accounts suspicion report. During my investigation I came across cherrybomb's account. Not sure is this something we should be concerned about since most of the IP addresses are via wireless broadband/mobil devices

Dear god... that's a ton of IP's and that fact some of them come from a proxy is a big no no o.o
Banable offense imo.
^ The fact she & Sweet Lu share quite a few IP addresses is concerning, and she is linked to banned members modelmayhem & thewire 
I am not sure how this proxy thing works but I know my work IP addresses are often from proxy servers I work from varies sites but here is an example:
132.183.13.76
ISP: Massachusetts General Hospital
Services: Confirmed proxy server

There are several different types of Proxies. Some companies use them to make indirect network connections to other network services. The proxy gives them a nearby cache of Web pages and files available on remote Web servers, allowing local network clients to access them more quickly or reliably, which is fine, however the kind BZ members are using are Transparent and Anonymous proxies which gives them anonymity and get them around simple IP bans. They are transparent in the terms that their IP address is exposed, not transparent in the terms that they don't know they're using it (the system is not specifically configured to use it.) Anonymous proxies does not make the original IP address available but instead gives them a totally different IP from anywhere in the world.
Sweet Lu should of been banned right after LMS. He went off on a massive tirade calling staff every names under the sun.
Cell Phones: Some earlier smartphone users have bought a static, or permanent, IP Address, which can still be used today. However, it is much more common for a phone to have a dynamic IP. If all phones had a static IP, there would simply be too many. A static IP address is an address permanently assigned to a workstation or cell phone (ie they'd be using the same phone or pc to log in). A dynamic IP address is an address that is used for the current session only. When the session is terminated, the IP address is returned to the list of available addresses.
michelabella and whomever sharing the same static IP... wtf? As much as I love her I think this is something we need to look into. She's always been a great member to the forum, so this is troubling to me.
^ Thanks for taking time to explain this to me 
I understand better now 
I think we might as well ban Sweet Lu.
Michelabella seems like a nice girl but I don't think she is fond of me b/c she blames me for JuliaX's banishment 
Before she would be friendly towards me but right after JuliaX got banned and she got recruited as admin on LVSM, I noticed she started to avoid interacting with me. Although a few months ago she did send me a PM asking me how to change her password b/c she thinks JuliaX was hacking into her account and reading her PM's :notsure: I gave her the instructions and didn't ask too many questions b/c I didn't want to get involve with their drama. It did cross my mind early on MB might be JuliaX's spy considering how anit-BZ she is. I heard JuliaX forbids any mention or credit of BZ on LVSM 
If there is something shady going on w/ MB I could only imagine the mad drama b/c I know JuliaX would get involved and start acting ape-shit again 
As for yours_forever, she is pretty naive and trusting of others so I could imagine her getting manipulated by LMS and Sweet Lu to misbehave
After warning TexasLongHornFan after an off-topic, negative comment about transsexuals, I disabled his posting pending his answer to my message. Of course, 99.9% of the time, this results in me receiving an instant pm 
. I do this especially for a second warning as he was warned by another staff member a month ago. I figure if they don't respond, we lose nothing and when they do, I can put it on record. Anyway, this was said instant response...
I did not intend a conflict and got angry and lost myself. The deletion of the Mod post was a mistake/attempt to apologize to the thread for my words.This was a mistake on part and intended disrespect to you. I hope you will consider returning my posting abilities. You have my personal promise they will not be misused again,
lol he loves to start shit and the min he's called out on his crappy behavior and how he handles situations it's always someone else's fault. Lawyer my ass.
Texas sent me this as well:
Sent Today, 09:29 PM
In response to previous warning pint given a moth a go. All posts will conform to board norms and standards going forward. I apologize for all bad behavior in the past and will not repeat such in the future.
If we lost him... oh well. I don't like him in any way, shape or form.
Got a similar PM. Pretty much same shit different day:
I made the mistake of getting into a quarrel with a fellow poster. In the process of a Mod cleanup, I attempted to make an apology to the thread. The Mod took it as an act of defiance and banned my posting.
I apologized to the Mod w/ hopes of restoring my posting. I make my final appeal to you on my behalf, as well. All of my future posts will conform to board norms and will not be abused in any way.
He seems to be really pushing it recently to see how far he could go. He is pretty much heading towards Ban-ville as I don't see him changing his behaviors anytime soon There has been complaints about him posting sexually inappropriate comments. When I go and check his posts, he had already edited them but you could still see evidence of them b/c you see other members telling him his posts were offensive.
I told him to send one to someone else too to put it on record. He's banned the next time then. Though suspension would customarily be the next step, as you said there isn't much point if he doesn't show any signs of improvement with no apparent redeeming qualities on top of that. Individuals from some of the more liberal 'men's' sites seem to have varying means of adjusting and his seems to be on the lower end. On a different note, a lot of members are either showing difficulty or telling me they have difficulty with the nipple print clause of the updated nudity rule that has the bare butts in exchange for nipple print stipulation. Aside from those that didn't read the rule altogether, I've been asked what the tight shirt safe zone is 
.
^ No visible female nipples whether bare, through sheer or tight clothing, etc (Y)

Hey, I got this in my inbox:
Hi there,
I wanted to bring your attention to one of bellazon member`s profile title. The member`s title name contains swastika(s) signs. The individual`s user name is Victoria_Justice
The content of the title is offensive and is an offence.
I appreciate and thank you for looking into this matter.
The link below will direct you to the member`s profile:
What do we do about it? Ask her to edit out the member title or do we add to her warn level as well?
*edit* I went ahead and edited out the offensive title myself, but do we just send her a PM warning or immediately raise her warn level as well?
^ I thought the Nazi symbol is tilted 45° while the one in Hinduism & Buddhism (which by way has a positive meaning) is upright However, the Nazis has pretty much tainted the symbol regardless of the position Most Neo-Nazis nowadays don't even know which is which, so end up using the upright version when they intended to use the 45° version 
I would send her a PM telling her why her member title was removed and briefly explaining why the symbol if offensive & hurtful. If she gives you attitude then maybe raise her warning level but for now I would just give her an unofficial warning via PM
