from mr gatorade. he was banned by me
Hello,
I dont know who this goes to but I am a little concerned that now with my account permanently banned I cant check my PM's or even read the threads. It says I have repeatedly posted personal information about other users and this is simply false. Please review my last posts and you will see I have never divuldged ones true name, address, phone number or any sensitive information to the public, ever. I have been insturmental on 2+2 by getting many bots banned and money confiscated for the greater good of online poker and done lots of good work with other 2+2er's. I dont think this is reasonable esspecially if you read my PM's from user "Dean." and other converstions that say I will get permanently banned because he knows the moderators and so forth. I thought as long as I dont break your terms and conditions I can not be banned because of some negative bias towards me. If you could please review my so called "crime" and see for yourself if it is grounds for permanently banning me I will go with whatever you say I just hope I will still be able to use your PM service and at least read threads of other users. Thanks, Crazy Mike (MrGatorade) |

Mat - As anyone who has met mike knows he comes across as being semi-retarded, the guy has a very weird sense of right and wrong, but I don't think he really means bad. If he apologizes and promises to never do that again would you consider letting him back? It might be a good balance, keeping Mike on the forum is safer for the industry than spinning him out on his own.
Dean asked me to help him with Mike when he was outed a few weeks back, I think there is a thread about it here in the mod forum (I'm running out the door, can someone provide a link?) |

He seems like a likable enough guy sometimes, but it was made very clear that he wasn't to out people in the future. He made a choice know he has to live with it.

Re: from mr gatorade. he was banned by me
daryn, mat:
As I've written before, I think it is ridiculous to ban anyone or even edit posts that link anonymous online poker names to usernames on an anonymous online forum. Anyone who wants to keep their poker site name secret can do so very easily. If their name is outed, it's because they told someone. There is also a ridiculous set of double standards regarding what sort of stuff is posted about people who are not part of the "in crowd" on certain forums. Some of the people who most vehemently complain about poker name "outings" and such crap are often the same people who post all manner of detailed information about the play of non-2+2 opponents. |

You can say that they suck if they can't adapt to people knowing who they are or whatever, but it's still a detriment to them. One that could easily deter then from participate in strat discussions in the future because they think whatever they post will be used directly against them. |
