Earlier, I have not been able to log on to TASVideos. I have frequently gotten the message that I was banned from the forum when I went to the index (or any other part, for that matter.) I have also heard talk that a member was recently banned for excessive and unnecessary use of the spoiler tag. Was I experiencing his/her side effects, or is it some other reason that that happened?
Also, the spoiler tag blocks out text, right?

If you were banned, you were banned for a reason. Usually bans don't last forever. Just wait awhile. Also, who are you?

I discovered PJBostic shared IP with JWinslow23 for most of his posts, as well as other similarities in behavior and post timing, and brought it up with other site staff.
I presume some other senior/admin then banned him, or it's just their shared IP that was banned. I'm not sure about that.

Creating or using another account to circumvent a ban is usually grounds for a more severe suspension, so if this was the case, I would quite careful if I were jwinslow/pj.

OK, I know that I am not allowed to use actual names and schools in case of identity theft, but we (me and JWinslow23) go to Frank Lloyd Wright, and we are two different students. I'm Phillip Bostic, and my friend is Josiah Winslow. Last I heard him talking to me personally about it, he was just browsing the site in general. When I replied to the posts, he told me about them personally (apparently right after posting).
Ilari, if I knew what an IP was, I'd probably agree with you.
If PJBostic = JWinslow23, then this post is really funny...
He was banned by that time, and he didn't tell me about it. I was just randomly browsing through the fourm, and found that post. You know what happened after that.
Look, Jwinslow/PJ, If you were banned, you don't make another account. That gets you banned for good. It's happened before (portalofrain, codered, anyone?). So, you best delete your PJ account and log back in to the JWinslow account. I'm pretty sure you're unbanned by now.

How is that "other account" thing determined? At our school, we all have different e-mails and e-mail passwords, and since the only way I'd know JWinslow23's TASVideos password is if I knew his e-mail password (which I can't get access to). So how do you think that PJBostic and JWinslow23 are two accounts run by the same person? Look it up, Frank Lloyd Wright has two different students named Phillip Jaycob Bostic and Josiah Ryan Winslow, you can figure out whose account is whose! Jeez, just because we're real-world friends and it is made public here, people think of banning me.

I used to do IRC at my school. My teacher would always pick on me about it.
Also like this one kid would, too.
What's the point of doing TASVideos at school?

I am unbanned! But why?
If I could have a tool-assisted real life, I'd...
Being a novice, I'd probably load the wrong state, have the IRS AI bankrupt me, and eventually make me want to kill myself and redo 11 years of hard work.

Because you were annoying as hell. I quote Fractal:
JWinslow23 has recently been warned at least twice, and users have repeatedly called for his ban. Despite this, he still continues to make inane (and most recently, contentious) posts. JWinslow23 is now banned from posting and making submissions until Dec. 24, 2012.

Bans don't usually last long.
Also, how did you know he meant that?
Also, dont ask me anything, I'll be opening presents.
I think that would be inmplied. For example, would you say, "Grass is green! But why?" if you wanted to ask what your cousin's name is? No! Same principle applies here. If he would have meant what you thought he meant, he would have said, "Why was I banned in the first place?"

The "other account" was determined/assumed due to the fact that your and JWinslow23's posts shared an IP address (I suppose it's likely your school's IP address). Though YoungJ's point is moot anyway, because the account PJBostic existed weeks before JWinslow23's ban.
I can't confirm the thing with your names, but understand there were multiple reasons to suspect that JWinslow used an alt account (most suspiciously, reappearing after two weeks right at the time when JWinslow23 was banned).
Either way, there should be no further problems with you or your account. (Your school's IP may still be banned, but I can't tell for sure). Just don't make the same mistakes that JWinslow did (which, other than spoiler tag abuse, also consisted of general immaturity, making tons of stupid or useless threads, and just annoying posting in general).
Hope that clears up everything.

Got it. Now please, lock this topic. Warepire is right, this kind of stuff should be done in private messages to people like adelikat or Bisqwit.
PJBostic's arguments do not hold water. The account PJBostic was never banned; only the account JWinslow23 was. That will change now.
The account PJBostic is now banned indefinitely for being an alt account of JWinslow23. In addition, JWinslow23 is now banned until Jan. 15, 2013.
