Alias names

[Arzel]

This is a friendly reminder for individuals to use some thought when picking an alias name.

Any alias name which is deragatory to anyone or to this site along with profanity will be dropped.

[hurley9192]

Hopefully, I won't offend any of the Duke Basketball haters with my use of Bobby Hurley's name and when they won championships with him as their point guard...

[matrixfriendly]

Oh let me guess you are going to ban "thissitesucks". I thought it was a hell of a good form of free speech without cursing!

[Arzel]

The point is when do you cross the line. If we want to have mature discussions than we should be mature about our alias names as well.

[tcb1969a]

Well then if you are going to have mature discussions then you should get rid of "Bonehead" out of your Signature tag......

[MatrixWatch]

I think tcb is right. Let's be fair.

[Agent|Star]

Well a nick "thissitesucks" is immature...

If I owned this board I would probably ask the person in private to register a more respectful nick. This place is for discussion not to mock eachother. Realizing the person who made that nick is probably a matrix supporter.. I'm gonna ask kindly that you grow up just a little bit.

Before I get called a trader lol... Its not about picking sides its about showing respect... We expect matrix opposers like watchdog and his crew to respect our opinion right? Well lets show some respect as well.

[tcb1969a]

Yes we should show respect, and it should go accross the board....

I agree TCB.. Im hoping that by taking the first step toward showing respect.. we will gain respect... :cool:

[tcb1969a]

I hope so...........

[Arzel]

Fair enough,

Although my signature was not implying anything I did get rid of it. It was on a calender that I had recieved for xmas one year, with several interesting sayings "Demotivationals". That saying was along with a picture of a guy with wigns on his arms running down a mountain.

Here is the web site to the calander, although that particular saying is on an older calender, and I am unable to find it on the site. http://www.despair.com/demotivation.html


note:

I see the swear censor dos not like the real word for xmas. There must an automatic filter on this site.

[MatrixWatch]

I'll adjust it. I set up the censor to limit the amount of moderation duties we have to do. Just a note however.. Even though the censor blocks out the word, a member is still accountable to the rules concerning profanity. If they use the word, and it is edited, they will still be warned.

[uwantme]

I saw this on another forum and I assumed it was the person who this tread was started about:

"I just wanted to note to this discussion that I finally discovered wtf the "dogs" were after getting a very rude email from one of them(sent one in return) and tried to register for their website.. I never even posted once and my IP was already banned within like 2 hours. They said they didn't like my username: thissitesux.. I don't understand what the porblem was.. Was I antagonizing tooo much?? I didn't think it was such a bad user name..... "

Since we were all talking about being responsible, respect etc.. Was member really banned just because of the username he tried to register? I thought we were done banning members who we didnt agree with? So Im interested in hearing your side of the story...

[Agent|Star]

I say a name like that is instatnly disrespectful.

I say a FRIENDLY private msg should be sent to the person asking them to register a new nick...

I also say no action be taken as far as banning until that person replys.

I think if you approach them correctly they should be understanding and the change of username will be made without creating a huge scene.

[tcb1969a]

Yes....exactly, banning should be a last resort, not the first resort......

[matrixfriendly]

Yes banning people first and thinking later is not a good thing for the image of this site. It shows that you do not want the opposing side in on the conversation in my books. Besides, banning will not prevent him from coming back over and over and posting nasty things that you have to delete. You banned me three times for stating my opinion. All you have to do is change your nick and you are right back in. If you are looking in on this forum, email me and I will let you in on how to get around the banned IP. This is so silly that we have to resort to this.

Matrixfriendly,
You are welcome to your point of view, but you cannot solicit people to email you for a way to get around administrative decisions. Your post shows a complete lack of respect. This is your warning.

Normally, I would not do this. However your banning someone without a warning is also uncalled for. I show respect where I receive respect. So far I have not received any at all from your site. I think the ban should be lifted and him given another opportunity to voice his opinions.

[MatrixWatch]

Like I said, you are warned. Read the forum rules.. You cross the line once more and you are suspended.

[matrixfriendly]

Imagine that!! Enough said. All the people here know how one sided your thinking is!! Your way or the highway. What a great way to encourage free speech!!

.

I would have to agree. OR you can just edit the name.

[amagic2u]

what in the name of God is going on here this is getting to be like a kids playground at this site 1.] why even try to use a name like thisitesucks or whatever it is when you know it is going to be the cause of endless debate whoever did this knew what they were doing and you all are giving them just that. they have gotten over on all of you because here we are talking about nothing but the stupid name. 2.] who cares let whoever it is just be. me i would just come back with one that says #1sitesuckers or wesitesuckgood any thing that is just as wordless as thisitesucks my point is WHO CARES let it go get passed it cant we all just get along please people grow up and lets get back to so hand to hand combat hay im just a 51 year young woman who lost some bank at several matrix but I believe that all of you are good people with a difference of mind at the matrix world and only time will tell what will happen and until then lets debate and not hate LET IT GO AND LET IT BE LIFE IS MYSTERIOUS DONT TAKE IT SO SERIOUS amagic2u and be safe;)

[tcb1969a]

Yes....let it go and move on to more important things.....

Hello everyone, I haven't posted here in a while. Just an observation though, seems you aren't getting anywhere huh. Have you received any money yet for your poorly submitted lawsuit. LOL really you know you will never get more than (maybe) a piece of paper to hang on your wall.

For all the good people who were conned into hating matrices your reason is the owner of this site...Timmy and no other reason.

Yes he caused us several months of loss of income, running down our character, personal and business. If not directly then by his suckers he has planted all over the forums.

Now for those of Us that might enjoy the matrices, Timmy has really done a good job. Unfortunately, he's costing us and you.

Timmy the lawsuit against you is looking really good,,, I mean good. Against you and your lawyer.

This is only meant legally, we are gonna hound you and your lawyer. WE also are completely ignoring (if you haven't noticed) your lawsuit.

This website and your appearances with that idiot lawyer your found, well it's gonna hurt. Sorry to say it but I'm glad. It'
s just too bad you had to drag customers with you, they won't see any free gifts from us if I even hear they talk to you and I find out. Feel good screwing all those people Timmy? No reply necessary.

Until your summons,
Good Day

If you would like to continue discussion on "Alias names" then you can post below.

[BobbyJacobs]

Shelby,
Those are some pretty strong words to Tim & his counsel. Considering you don't even HAVE a lawyer yourself.

And what "conned" <anyone> "into hating matrices " was matrix owners who don't manage their funds responsibly and squander the money instead of shipping items. You had the money long before any lawsuit - and there are still those from february waiting to get their stuff.

So you blow off the CCP's and you blow off any kind of customer service to the investors. Just flat piss everyone off with your hillbilly mentality of getting a few grand in your pocket and it's "king for a day" huh? You are so small minded and short visioned a few thousand probably looked like a fat 401k to you, I bet.
Hell, a coupon for a free happy-meal is probably considered by you to be worth saving.

Where did it all go? Not for legal representaion apparently.

Oh, but then you start another matrix site telling everyone you aren't involved (I do admit that's a very good sales point there...) and the lists will be "transferred over" from the old site to the new (at no extra charge to us! Woo-Hoo!) only the lists with the problems you can't solve are left behind.

Fool.

Bobby

Hello everybody who has debated long and hard about my silly user name I registered with. You may think it was immature, etc.. the only one who really got anything right about it though was the one who said I did it to get a rise out of some people here. I didn't realize I would be immediately banned and couldn't even view anything on the site. I was mostly figuring I'd just tick off the owner a little. To explain myself: First off I am not a "him" :) and yes I am a matrix supporter! Also I am not in any means immature.. I just get a little "hot under the collar" a little easy.. This all began because of a very rude member of this site.. I didn't have the slightest idea what the heck a watchdog was.. Then this guy urlkiller from Ebay sent this extremely derogatory email(like I am a child or something). I have a copy as proof if you would like it watchdog and it made me so mad so I sent him a very "ugly" one back. Then this same person had the nerve to go to a matrix site I frequent and post many threatening posts, told the matrix site owner he would hack into and ruin his site, and even left a link to the site of hackers he is a member of(have that link as proof too if you would like it watchdog).. So needless to say I was beyond fuming and went "on the hunt" for these dogs that this person was emailing me and referring as watching me.. So I did eventually locate this site after a few searches and registered.... Still in my very ticked off mood I made up a quick name and thats the 1st thing I thought of(thissitesucks). Granted it wasn't the brightest idea I ever had but give me a break!! I was mad at everyone here after my run in this member.. Anyway point is I appreciate my "ban" being lifted as I do have an opinion and would appreciate being allowed to voice it. Also I somewhat begrudgingly apologize for my user name. I know it was a bad idea but I was "playing on the level" of this person who contacted me. One other thing-before this turns into a novel- if you know who this person is watchdog and you truely do not promote the type of behavior this person showed to "us"(mostly the matrix site he harrassed) I would appreciate knowing that this person was indeed "reprimanded" as I am sure you know who they are..... Thank You:)

[Arzel]

Well, I do not know the person urkiller that you are referring, but I was the person who reported your name immediately.

It was nothing personal, I just didn't want a bunch of names like that to start appearing.

[nicoleeubanks]

Hey as you are a "super moderator" it would appear you were doing your job, right? :) That didn't bother me at all I expected to be contacted or my username deleted. I was however pretty surprised to have my IP banned like that without even a word or anything. Either way what would make me happy is to know this "hacker" has to have a word or two with the "big" dog for his actions! :) hint.. hint..... someone knows who this person is!

[Arzel]

This is my first time as a moderator in any form, so I was unsure what would happen.

My goal was to just kill the name, it did not appear that I could edit it, and I did not think the ip would get banned at the same time.

I also had looked at my own name, and it did not appear that I could edit my own name either, which would mean that you would not be able to edit your name as well. I have since learned how the system works, and will not be so rash in the future. :)

[hurley9192]

Knowing who urlkiller is, that seems a little rash, because that person usually regulates the vigilante acts on here.

I was very surprised:confused: when you posted that username as a vigilante on other sites.

Sorry to bump up an old thread, but I just wanted to draw your attention to a couple of the lines I've quoted above.

Some of you have recently been threatened by some matrix scammers, and some eBay scammers about lawsuits. I can testify that it is total bull. Internet scammers build a business out of scare tactics and guilt manipulations. Sadly, they become very successful at it.

I just wanted to encourage all of our veteran and rookie members to stand tall and take a stand against these matrix scammers. File reports, send off letters, file lawsuits (if needed) and get as many authorities involved as possible. The scammers will kick and screem but they will never stand by their claims.

For those of you who see the matrix scam for what it really is, you need to tell others. Not everyone knows what these scams are all about and the matrix sites are profiting off their ignorance. Let's unite and continue to get the word out!

Don't be scared of these clowns. They are all talk.
