No he was banned for loads of people complaining about the PM's.

Seems legit IMO.

I mean, it seems likely that of all the emails they get reporting posts and abusive PM's they would act on the ones about this place.

Occam's Razor, bro.

Listen fact of the matter is its not ban worthy rigjt away imo should get a warning first then ban if it continues.
Exactly, they banned a paying customer over a few PMs. That is ridiculous, regardless of the content. Forums have ignore functions for this reason.

So whats the deal now? @Jason you are fine with your stance on banning Team Bisping @Gilbosh for the reasons you stated even though he's a paying member? Did he receive any type of freeze or warning at all or did you get the pm sent to you or read it yourself and decide to pull the trigger? I have emailed RickStorm @RickStorm and Kirik in the past for very obvious TOS being broken and was flat out ignored and of them was for fighter bashing of Nate Q who used to post on your site, what motivates you? If a paying member PMs another to inform of MMA content that might appeal to them and could cost your site clicks it's a ban but when a paying member PMs staff to inform over the top fighter bashing and provides who, where when and even quotes the post it goes unnoticed? One of the remarks was in a thread when the lawsuit was a super hot topic and a bunch of idiots decided to unload on the plaintiffs with all sorts of insults, we alll know that internet fights create that mob mind set and generate clicks so....

Honestly I really just don't get what the deal is. There are many MMA sites and lots of people visit and post on more than one. If any site was getting blasted on the public forums then sure there's something worth addressing but to ban dudes after they payed is horseshit unless a refund or explanation is provided after a fair warning or some sort of communication to the guy. Why in the hell have you not banned the thousand other goofs who do nothing but fighter bash and troll 24/7? I can appreciate a good troll but popping into threads to call everyone a faggot and cocksucker isn't exactly the troll angle that can be applauded. Get a grip on your crew before coming here and making accusations to members/staff here without any tact whatsoever.

The 'offending' Pm's which numbered a total of......jason help me out here.....about 9?...11?.......happened about 6 weeks to 2 months ago.....So suddenly 2 months later...i'm banned......but why TWO whole months later? This makes no sense to me whatsoever....and seeing as though I vividly remember the night I messaged a few people inviting them...its shows I'm not a fucking spam robot. Jason, did u read all my messages? if so, please ignore the one talking about my penis size...honest to god, it's not that small.

I get the disagreements with the way the UG sometimes does things.

I'm gonna ask you guys two things:


- keep your composure. You are welcome to disagree with @Jason as much as you want. But the rules apply in this thread as much as others in the manner you disagree. I will close this thread, but did want @Jason to be able to say anything he wanted about the topic and this topic is not a banned type

-the UG is a different site. They are welcome to do whatever they want and the results are representative of the type of site they hope to build. That's fine. If you disagree with their general rules, consider saving your breath. This isn't the UG and you are unlikely to make any changes in their rule set complaining about them. My focus is only whether members HERE are in any way being targeted because of their involvement in other sites. As we've discussed in past threads, this site was not built for targeting the UG or any other site. So keep that in mind please.

Have there been instances of members from here making threads on the UG advertising for this place?
I believe there were a couple at the beginning. The mods over there said that a member is allowed to make one thread to advertise a site or service but any more than that would be considered spam. No one spammed the UG and there were never any plans to do so.

It's rather easy to make baseless accusations. The UG got a bad rap for "reading PMs" because our shitty 18 year old code was marking things read that were not read. It still happens, it happens to me constantly and isannoying is shit because I miss important messages. We are working on redoing the site so all sorts of our problems with the old code will hopefully be fixed.

The simplest answer is sometimes the actual answer. The reason we were aware of this member PMing people about this forum is because we had several of our members email us and complain about it. That's all there is to it, no conspiracy theories. It sucks that when someone just post something as "true," everyone just jumps on board condemning the issue when in fact it never happened in the 1st place.
what kind of pussy complains to the mods, instead of just deleting these old pm's, or saying no thanks to the sender?

I honestly believe all members who also post under the same name over there are now targeted by a MOD or MODs...they will or already have lost their privacy

if that's the case, that old code is banning members too, maybe you can look into it and set things right?

20 year old code that was never fixed and getting banned with no explanation is a big reason why a lot of us left that place.

They are saying no and I'm not seeing a lot of productivity going here. I'm gonna close this thread so it just doesn't become a cycle of UG hating.

If @Jason sees this, just PM me and I'll open it back up at your request. You are more than welcome to have a chance to post anything you'd like to respond so this is not just a one sided thread.
