...it doesn't say "This no place for ads or cloaked promos. Shills and spammers be warned - unless you have accredition status" I guess I just don't like alot of grey area, especially when ones membership is in the balance.
I think it's a "tip of the iceberg" situation. Marty's shilling comes with a very large body of miscreant behaviour behind it. Not him personally but the peeps he represents. It comes, as it were, after years of damage done.
The Inetbet thing, though somewhat inappropriate, comes with no such context: tip, no iceberg. Therefor the difference in reaction is pretty obviously reasonable.
As to not liking they greys ... life must really piss you off then, no? I mean, life is pretty much all one grey or another isn't it?
And the membership in Marty's case is a professional one: totally different thing that a private, personal membership. Bryan's move was about the business groups involved not Marty personally.
I just think we could have seen a little more good done before having the plug pulled.
It's not like the guy has been put down or anything, if he's set on doing good deeds it's hard to imagine that Casinomeister is his only venue for that. Again, Bryan pulled the plug on suspicious business activity based on years of experience with the parties involved. In the greater scheme of things Marty's PM box is pretty small potatoes.
Marty came to the forum to assist players with unresolved payment issues. ... Marty took advantage of CM's good nature, well then he was shown the door.
I don't mean to be contrary Suze but I think the way it ended has no small thing to do with the way it started. I personally don't believe that it's nearly as simple as "Marty came to the forum to assist players". I think, and I'm saying "
I think", Marty came here as part of a planned, coordinated scheme to use Casinomeister to raise goodwill and profit for a group that Casinomeister has repeatedly refused to get down and dirty with. In short, they snookered us all, as least for a while.
Trust me, there is a river of history behind this and if the group's intentions were nearly as pure as Marty & Co. would have us believe they could have done this legit, properly and to much greater effect. That fact that things have stumbled and turned sour has a lot more to do with where this whole thing started than it has to do with Bryan's boot for Marty.
