Ban gman from site

Im a newbie here so no doubt you will all say I have no say, but he has offered me advice on issues I was stumped with, so I vote no!! Though im not aware what his heinous crimes were that have you all calling for him to be hung, drawn and quartered. Id suggest however that since he has been given a second chance, then he deserves just that?

 

You know, it's probably been said before but I have to ask, what is with option two? I get the idea it's a joke and all, but it pretty much is making a whole joke of banning anyone period, because anyone that gets banned can do just that. So what is the point of banning? Why ban anyone ever if the logic is they can just come back under a different name?

Go ahead an unban everyone that's ever been banned while you're at it. Seems like the next logical step the way things are going.

 

He has already had enough chances to act like an adult. He will just wait until everything has cooled down and fuck someone else over. He is a piece of shit and hasn't change since i talked to him 2 years ago. Everyone who has been on the site for a good while hates him. Can we just have him banned for good and let him go on with his pathetic life.

 

Is this something a baseball bat and a Russian can solve?

 

While I don't like the name calling and insults, I think it's rather deserved. I'm out of this thread until we have a final verdict.

GodofHardcore, I think I can get Vladamir over here to help out. He doesn't have a baseball bat, but does have a nice broken bottle of vodka. Will that suffice?

 

scars don't heal, I think it might.

 

I have a mallet and a pitch fork which will fill the need?

 

Gman can make a separate account at anytime (even if he still has his original), so that is a moot point to keep arguing about. Although I would say that it would have been better to just let him keep his original account so we could all track & avoid him while hoping he wouldn't get the idea or be forced to create another one to begin with, but that option has since passed.

& Yes Bramsworth, anyone that gets banned from here can do exactly that, & have always been able to. Most people that are banned aren't hard headed losers that never give up & have to circumvent what is locking them out. I would argue that most people who are banned will leave the site with bad memories of being ousted.
If they do decide to try & return, they would have to know how to bypass the IP Ban (childishly simple). They would probably. . .

A. Return to the site under a different name, & change their ways to become more user friendly (So they can regain marketplace privileges)
B. Same as above, except they plan to pull another scam

The point is, not everyone that is banned will instantly circumvent it & return, so it is still a viable option of removing dumb asses or scammers with low intellect & no drive to return.

The best way to get Gman to leave is a very simple process of everyone generally ignoring him or treating him like the low life he is. If everyone truly did this, and there wasn't any stragglers who are confused about the whole situation & see him as someone who was wrongfully accused who want to befriend him, then he would leave.
If he truly feels unwanted, can't make sales, can't purchase, can't get information on anything he wants, is being talked down to, then he won't stay.

Anyone who comes back with the reply of, "That is exactly what he wants, to get more attention & be talked down to", you are partially right. If a few members did this then he would love it & crave to read more. If he realizes that he truly has no friends on here, that everyone looks down on him & nobody will interact with him on a reasonable level, it would be a different story.

Either way, I don't see any new controversies springing up about Gman any time soon, & the next time I have to think of that name better be with HL3.

 

Jeese what was his previous username, strictly for research I gotta go read his posts as seems he has got under a lot of folks skin? I get the feeling hes maybe robbed a few lads on here?

 

I am all for the option that ends up being the best for everybody on the site. If this is a 1 kid ruins it for everyone else in the class situation. No let's change that to "1 kid ruined everything for himself" situation.

He made his decisions. Maybe it's time he pay some consequences. Maybe it's not.

But I have no problem with whatever decision is made. If he's allowed back again and does something again. Then he's had his chance to do right.

 

this is different from what I was told - you made it sound like he was actually making account after account after account. If this isn't the case, then why even bring up the fact that he has the potential to abuse? It's easy to see that he has a rather shady past being tied to some script-kiddies in anon chat and that he clearly didn't care that he swindled someone. Why bring up the fact that he can do this?
It's kind of funny because as i've been reading this thread I've already noticed someone who's been doing this. I'm not going to bother mentioning the name but I feel the user is a little suspicious.

I suggest ban anyways. One of the things about being a site owner is to be able to deal with keeping those you don't want off your site. I don't know to much about proxy servers, I mean I know that's probably how he'd be coming back, but wouldnt it be possible to ban all proxy servers and create your own that people who wanted to use your site from a censored country would have to use? And if you did do that and Gman tried to abuse it, couldn't you just ban him from that proxy server and then he'd pretty much be shit out of luck?

 

I vote No, I believe everyone makes silly mistakes. I believe in giving Gman another chance in this forum. We shouldnt judge his future just because of his past mistakes, no matter how serious it was.

I vote Nay on the 2013th amendment to the Assembler forum constitution!

 

the guy not only scammed here but on many other sites too. He also was involved in cyber attacks. You have no idea about this guys history.

 

Anyone who ever downloaded LOIC was involved in cyber attacks.

I'd say give him a last chance, but only because the other guy ended up sending him a fake as well in that last thread, AND posted his personal info on top of that, as well as derogatory videos of him (which should've got the other guy banned right there, and yet the collective response of this site was to point and laugh).

If he still causes shit after that, permaban.

 

According to who? gman?

 

I agree also I'm curious about something as I never heard the final outcome but, did verbalkintxxl ever prove whether or not his beta's were legit, and if they weren't was he also banned for scamming?

 

I know the member who had the MGS beta said he is trying to contact ASSEMBbler but is being ignored. He said he can prove it but ASSEMBler is not responding. He's a member on THIA. I know he isn't bs'ing as he's proved that he has some betas that aren't out there (Castlevania Symphony of The Night E3 build).

I'll try to get him to send me the files and I'll pass them along to ASSEMBler.

Before GMAN sent "1.5", he had gotten both MGS beta discs ISO's from said member. He confirmed they were real and sent a passworded RAR file to said member. The password he provided did not function and GMAN stopped replying. GMAN then later claimed they were both ISO's of the retail game, after he had confirmed they were beta's.

 

ASSemblergames don't give a shit about his forum. It's useless.

We leave this forum, it's will be more effective.

 

I believe Assembler does cares about his website site. Busy guy I guess.

I start to think that all most stuff like Dev kit, Alpha, beta games and unreleased games is now already exposed and released and got nothing left to show more on this site to keep it going. I think it drying up for now. Apart from latest news of gaming industry in the thread and trade/sales forum.

Just my opinion.

 

No, the other guy who opened the topic about how he got scammed by gman: he said something along the lines of "I'm glad I didn't sent him a real beta in return". As the topic is now removed, I can't get an exact quote.
And then he proceeded to post gmans personal information, and youtube videos of his drug induced nervous breakdowns, to which we had 8 pages worth of people laughing at him, and all Assembler did was post a "dis gun be gud" gif.
