Hi Max,(All),
Reiterating I don't approve nor condone the email TonyT sent to LockCasino.
However that's a moot point in relationship to personal information being shared & disclosed without knowledge, consent or approval from TonyT the LockCasino customer.
As I see it there are a number of issues that have been bunched together to justify the actions of LockCasino, its Rep and posting this information to the CM forum, for the world to see.
Attempts to condone these actions are identical to saying Two Wrongs make a Right. When the saying goes...Two Wrongs Don't make a Right...
Issue #1 - abusive email to LockCasino
What a customer chooses to send to a casino is between the customer and the casino.
Unless TonyT signed up accepting his information being transferred and or shared between the two entities (CM & Lock) or (submitted a PAB) or gave permission to Lock to pass this information on to the CM forum, Lock casino was obligated by it's own click wrap agreement between the parties of TonyT and LockCasino to keep any and all user data and information private.
Issue #2 - Posting of TonyT's email content
Like it or lump it, TonyT's privacy has been seriously undermined. Both by Lock Casino and the CM Forum.
Issue #3 - TonyT LockCasino account termination
Did Lock close TonyT's account before reporting this incident?
If they didn't, why not?
If LockCasino found the email offensive they could lodged a formal complaint with TonyT's ISP. That would be the correct protocol.
However disclosing this information to Max, this info being added to a post, seems nothing more than a childish payback from LockCasino to TonyT by way of using the CM forum; Max and Bryan.
With the double standards taking place here on a daily basis, the quasi justification for actions by staff for deleting posts; locking threads and other actions that seem to have filtered into the CM forum of late; armed with a
do as we say not as we do mentality, I'm not surprised in the least that CM members are short fused; angry; upset and fighting between each other.
In Closing
The CM awarded casino of the Decade is admired and respected for its sartorial online casino management and day to day operations.
Not in my wildest dreams could I imagine Pat or Ed disclosing such information about one of their players (regardless of any factor or player action/s) to the CM forum, much less any other web site. Without prior consent from the player.
Further more being OK with this information being posted to a public forum
IMHO LockCasino and the people involved here at CM that made this information available owe Tony an apology for breaching his personal data and information.
I would hope this thread is not locked; I'm not given a ban or TonyT's membership at CM is not canceled.
However given the current status qou here at the CM Forum, it seems anything is possible...
Cheers
Dave
