Bring adam back campaign!!!

[Padawan]

To all members,
I have recently been informed that a friend of mine Adam258 has recently had his forum privileges revoked. I believe this is unfair and unjust. Granted he can be slightly rough around the edges at times. But I do strongly believe he is also poked, prodded, and provoked ALOT. He should have every right to respond as long as he is not using foul language and derogatory remarks towards other forum members... which he hasnt since the original warning some time ago. He is a contributing member to the community and we should be allowed to defend ourselves and occasionally steam without getting a rampage of hate posts.

I remember several posts where Adam would post hands and would just get disrespectful responses with no actual strategic advice. None of these members got warned.

Now they have a right to speak

And so does Adam

But someone is trying to silence the speaking... DONT LET IT HAPPEN...

Post in this thread to allow freedom to reign in the forums and let your voices be heard...

We Will not be silenced... We want to speak truths.. And We are Men/Women who can handle oursleves and dont need a moderator to ban people for sticking up for themselves.

Remember it takes 2 to tango - If Adam is at fault and is to be banned... MEMBERS that involved themselves in verbal altercations with Adam should also be banned.

Enough said.

Adam brings a hilarity element to the board. I hardly think his posts are considered "trolling" if that's what he was really banned for.

Bring that nit back.

I have pretty lax guidelines for posting on the board. Unless he was constantly being racist or attacking members unwarranted, then there's no need for a ban IMO.

Adam will not be coming back to PokerTrikz forums. I have had too many complaints and came to the conclusion to ban him. After this we started talking through e-mail and he has acted very disrespectfully to me.

We had a few e-mails back and forth today and in my first one, I told him he could come back in 2 weeks if he settled down. Since then he has called me such names as "fkin prick". Unfortunately for him, disprect is not something I tolerate. I've spent a lot of time, money, and effort into PokerTrikz. People that talk trash to me are not welcome: end of story.

You guys don't have to like me for it, but this is how it is. Maybe you should of told your friend to show some respect to the person that owns the website.

In my limited experience of reading his posts, I decided adam was pretty much in stark contrast to the potential progress of this site; while every group has its more negative members, having people that are outright abusive and impulsively illogical doesn't serve any positive purpose.

What thread was this in?

I never had a problem with any of his posts but I am not the one who decides if he stays or goes.

He was constantly making posts like in this thread and I didn't really see him post (or even try) anything constructive in any video or HH threads ever, but instead he was posting like this a lot.

I think a short ban was the right thing to do, to see if he'd learn to behave a little. After he continues talking trash to Trikkur by email, it seems pretty clear to me that he'll never learn.

His posts were really annoying me but I decided not to post my frustrations because it would only result in adam going on another rampage...

I'm glad his bad karma caught up with him and I think a ban is right.

Padawan (or others who are friends with Adam),

Have you recommended neverwinpoker to Adam? I think that would be a perfect poker forum home for him.

I think he never really fit in here. He always took things to a much higher level than anyone else. Though some argued back and forth with him, the common thread in all those altercations was Adam--it's not like there was 1 member who was always going right back at him with the same ferocity.
