Bad members

[Casinomeister]

Most of the membership in the forum consists of a really great bunch of people. We have members from all walks of life, from all parts of the globe, speaking many languages - but sharing one, and with as many points of view as anyone could imagine. Most members post interesting, well thought out posts - and others are just plain entertaining and quirky. The membership is supportive and tolerant (in most cases ) and this is why Casinomeister's forum is one of the best communities on the net.

Unfortunately, like with any forum, there is a darker element. These are members who participate only if it suits their self-serving greediness, some are fraudsters, some are contemptuous trolls. They never last long here for good reason.

If you are banned from this forum for bad behavior, don't come back - you'll be caught out and it can be embarrassing for you.

For instance:
reject726
http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...reject726.html
His last comment to participants in the thread was:

Whatever. You think Ill just shut up and let you abuse me? Fuck you and the horse you rode in on you useless cunt.

Good one . This was after he had lost some rep points from his fellow members. Needless to say, he was banned - and that was it. He posts elsewhere (you can google his user name and find out for yourself.) But maybe there is another reject726 posting in other gambling message boards

And then comes 3dfella who has been hanging out for a while:
http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...s/3dfella.html
He signs up with reject726's email address, so we're pretty sure it's the same guy.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!

There are other members who seem to be connected to this guy - we're just connecting the dots at the moment - it's not rocket science.

End note: I don't like busting people out in public, but with this situation I thought it was well deserving.

SO A BIG THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU. keep up the good work and have a great weekend

Good job Bryan. I know people get upset from time to time but there is no call for using foul language. I think sometimes use the internet to abuse other people because maybe they feel powerless in their own lives. Regardless it is good to show these people up and let them know we will not tolerate this behaviour from anybody. If somebody spoke to me like reject did then I think he would have earned himself quite a slap from me.

There is such a difficult balance between keeping the forum free for all opinions to be expressed and back door censorship.
There has to be ground rules to keep things civil to allow all to feel free to post without the fear of being intimidated or ridiculed.
As such someone has to make the decision of what is and is not acceptable and even though much of this can be subjective I think Bryan and the mods here are as objective as they can be.
I consider this forum not only to be the best gambling forum but also amongst the best moderated public forums on the net.

Keep up the good work.

A big AMEN.

There are some folks who actually delight in causing offence by using really foul language or in deliberately abusive and provocative behaviour on Internet message boards, and there are probably places on the Web where this is accepted and even applauded.

I'm glad Casinomeister has never been one of these places, and that habitual offenders ultimately find themselves barred in the interests of everyone else enjoying and benefitting from discussion and debate free of personal abuse.

From a posting perspective all it takes is a little personal discipline as a courtesy to other posters.

Perhaps there's some truth in what Osulle says above: "I think sometimes use the internet to abuse other people because maybe they feel powerless in their own lives."

I'll never understand the multiple usernames period. And that goes for everybody. There have been a ton of them on this forum.

I have had the same username for years and years, and yes I've been banned and/or suspended from places. I don't sign up a new username...I just don't go there anymore....or go as a guest.

I just don't get the sneaking around, creating multiple id's, trying to pretend to be someone you're not......I honestly have better things to do with my time...and maybe some of these other people should look into more valuable ways to spend their spare time. And I say that to EVERYONE who does this, not just the ones who get banned here, who curse someone out, who get called out publicly...but everyone who feels the need to do this. Get a life....for real.

And now the guy is emailing me wondering why he's been banned. What a dweeb.

Go ahead and sign back up and make an ass out of yourself again.
