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) |

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. |

[/ QUOTE ] No one should be banned for saying that "XXX on Stars plays like..." That doesn't change whether XXX is a 2+2'er or not. Just don't say XXX is El Diablo. |

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. |

But with every rule there is an exception, and outing someone maliciously is a different story. Mike's outing of Dean's screen name was malicious, he got 5 days if I recall correctly - I think that was fair only because the reason why Mike outed Dean. |

Agree with banning for outing being bad.
Ban Gatorade for being a lunatic or trolling Deal, but otherwise I don't think this makes sense. |

Whether malicious or not, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it makes people douches when they knowingly out other people but it's not 2+2's job to protect people's identity as far as poker screennames. As far as I'm concerned, it's totally Dean's problem that he got outed, if he was that worried, he wouldn't tell ANYONE. |
