I can't get him. I've given out too much RG in the past 24 hrs. Someone ding him for me.

Or many he/she trying to over compensate for something.

You put Jon at -79? This thread moves pretty fast so I might have missed something.

Cheers,

In the past few days (8- 10) I have received PM's from some of the members here that seem to be held in high regard. I will not name them but I will tell you that never have I got such nasty, vile messages from people that I consider my "brothers". I have been told that I am a piece of Sh!t, my mother is a stinking wh0re, and other stuff that was much worse. All of this because I wanted to try and do what I could to help the forum I called home. Basically I wanted to do for new members there what the old mod team did for me when I first joined 3 years ago, and that is gentle guidance and help anytime it was needed.

I would like for the members that said these things to maybe sit back and think about what the "brotherhood" means and if you think that these types of actions were an appropriate way to treat a BOTL.

I will also say that if anyone has any question about it , no it was not any of the 11.

With that said I would like to suggest that we move forward and continue to spread the wealth of information we have to new and old members alike.

Team of 11, if this is inappropriate feel free to delete.

Wow, that really sucks. You, Aaron, Dave and Ji (I hope I didn't forget anyone) were in a very cumbersome spot and I personally have great respect for each of you stepping in to try to salvage a terrible situation. I hope (believe) that most members here agree with me that you guys are not to blame for what's going on at pvff. Hopefully, in time, the members that harassed you guys over there will apologize as warranted. IMO, your BOTL nature is exemplified in your attempt to salvage what appears to be "unsalvageable". You are not to blame...it seems pretty clear who is.

THANK YOU for the effort....truly.

This conduct is absolutely not appropriate. NO reason why that type of behavior should ever be acceptable, and I hope it is dealt with appropiately.

But, also I can't understand why some of the admin decisions at PF have been openly accepted by some mods/admins at that site. Can anyone please explain why complete censorship by Jon is okay over there? No questions, no "outside the box" thinking is accepted apparently. I truthfully don't want this to turn into a PUFF bashing post, but that guy is a complete ****ing jackass.. and in a couple of months we will all look back and see what he had coming to him.

Good luck Jackass, you're gonna need it.

No reason was specified.

WHAT?!?! I didn't even post!!! :-) oh well

The part I was starting to hate was the censorship. I didn't realize China was suddenly running the internet.

Hahah same thing here

You have been banned for the following reason:
insults/drama

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

The only thing I have said in the past couple of hours was a ding to JC's rep for an honest "closing/deliting" thread. Maybe he read my post here? Stalker!

Oh well.. got my family here. :-)

Tony is Newt right?

It seems like all people who post here are being banned over there. That is a lot in people to ban.

This is not just a cyber board. I have met many many people and consider many of you my friends. It's not just a game.

This brings me to my next point. Jon Caputo is a real person as well. Like him or hate him this is not a game to him. He has invested a lot of money and time into this venture. Agree with his business or not this is real life to him. To us maybe it's a stupid forum. To him it's a lot more than that. If you met someone in person and came into their business and started harassing them and saying bad things about them to their clients. You would probibly be sued for slander. How is this any different? Why are we treating another human being this way?

You don't have to agree with it. You don't have to subscribe to the Puff lifestyle. Weather we think he deserves this or not. It's not really our call.

let it go..

that's ok, we'll all just join the other 600+ nonactive members that only exist for financial purposes

I haven't been banned yet. Don't want to get banned yet either. Don't agree w/ what's going on, but I'd like to go back and see what the place will become eventually.

Wow, members are pretty butal over there. That newt guy is getting massacred.
