NOTE: This was his third offense.

If it was the first time, i would choose option 1. Third offense should definitely cause some sort of major penalty in my opinion.

Free Satyaki! Since the invention of this thing called the internet people have been doing stuff with it that was unintended (Hacking, cheating, etc.). I just don't think that Hubdub will be the one to stop these people. Every system is beatable. Im just having fun playing the game but if you want to continue with your crusade go right ahead.

Pull Over,

If you didn't care, you'd not have posted your ridiculous comment! ... Dude, that is like saying that because people rob banks, then just let them at em cause we can't stop em all! What a PATHETIC and FOOLISH thing to say! ... So when was the last time a HACKER attacked your computer and you said, oh well, hey you want my passwords too? After all, I can't stop ya, so here's my wallet and my car keys too.
People like you, saying stupid things, are never helpful to Satyaki nor to the rest of the hubdub community! ... It only makes Satyaki look worse because you compare him to a hacker and criminal. Good job dude, nice attempt to "Free Stayaki!"

Also, Mr. $20,000, when you reach the leaderboard and it's nothing but cheats, let's see how proud you are to be on there when you are only competing against immature teenage cheats.

I agree with Steph, someone turn this "bad boy" have the hubdub patrol wash his mouth and mind out with soap, then give him 30 lashes with a wet noodle, give him a DUNCE hat and make him sit in the naughty corner until the last Wednesday of April.
Oh, and call his mommy and tell her to come pick up her disorderly and obnoxious child.

lucid,
i know YOU of all people didn't just call me obnoxious! also its not profanity in my name because my name is one word. You really think that cheating on Hubdub is equivalent to robbing banks? I compared his internet actions to hacking and cheating because if you can't stop these from happening you can't stop someone cheating on Hubdub. You're obviously really serious about your h$ but now you've insulted me. I guarandamntee you wouldn't say those things too my face. i've never insulted you in any way but you've crossed the line between intelligent conversation and blind stupidity/personal attacks. I wouldn't have a problem with that if you did it to my face but since you know you have the protection of your computer you are mighty bold.
posted 32 weeks ago
I made NO threats! You took (and are continuing to take) my comments out of context, twist them around, and then personally insult me. THAT is immature. my offer still stands, a friendly little meeting with the man you've personally attacked and insulted.
posted 32 weeks ago
wow more personal attacks
posted 32 weeks ago
PLEASE ...

stop the name calling.

If someone disagrees with an idea, disagree with the idea, not the person that made the idea.

If you don't like this comment, flame away at the substance of the comment.

There are other possible outcomes to this question... at the very least a fifth option of "none of the above" or "other" would be fair

Whoa!

Shall we get back on topic?

Why is everyone jumping all over Ass? Ass was just suggesting that, just because we caught one ass doesn't mean that we can guarantee that we will catch all asses. There is always going to be some ass among us, someone that is determined to show what an ass he is.

You get rid of one ass, a bigger ass will follow.

The only real way to get rid of all the asses is to ban each one, lock their accounts, etc.

I think we are all on the same page here, so no need to be an ass about it.

(Donkey! I mean, donkey....)

posted 32 weeks ago
kind of... I don't think banning will work. People who know enough about computers always seem to get around things like this. Also, I don't mind being referred to as "Ass". I've been told I have a nice one so it's actually a pretty accurate description.
(a nice Donkey... of course)

Please try to add to the body of knowledge gained by everybody at this site, and please refrain from using language which diminishes our collective opinion of you.

Pullover,

I am glad that you've learned to spell some new words that start with the Letter A.

Now how's about spelling some words that start with B?

That's a goooood Boy, oh look, now there's a word that starts with B .... B, Bo, Boy..... Very gooood :-) ... See you're getting it :-)

And tomorrow, we can move on to the Letter D :-)

I've missed something: WHERE did "poopoverthetophat" come from?

Though, he/she does have a great dictionary. Maybe he/she could be the spellchecker that we so badly need?

Please note that this conversation is bordering on breaching article 5 of our terms of service: "you agree not to use the Services: 1. to abuse, harass, impersonate, intimidate or threaten other Hubdub users". I am happy to start deleting comments but I hope that you can resolve your differences without resorting to that.

Thanks

After a user complaint I've removed the offensive comment exchange above. I'm not going to try to disentangle who started just please try to remain civil to each other, there are plenty of things to disagree on (politics, religion, sport?) without getting personal.

nigel, I'm glad you can use that functionality in the end :) Can we see, from whom the comments were when you delete (censor) them?
posted 32 weeks ago
Clearly this nigel bloke is on lucid's side. Lucid's personal attacks on both myself and my mother remain here while my one comment regarding his mother was deleted. I have no problem with him attacking me but it should work both ways. if he can write those things than everyone should be able to. Since nigel has the ability to delete anything i say, continuing this is pointless. I'm now only commenting on UFC events (which i suggest everyone bet on and order on pay-per-view).

special message to lucid- what was deleted was a hilarious comment about your mother and her sexual appetite. Also there were some choice
D-words for you. Enjoy living in your fantasy world where you say things on the internet you wouldn't dare say in person. You are as fake as they come.

i hope you die soon,

This is about principle, the integrity of the site and yes, also $H 8300.

Aside from the community's rightful disdain for the serious effort expended in facilitating the gaming and 'in your face' response from the perp in question, I very seriously doubt the 'crimes' are confined to $H 8300. I will respect the right of anyone to opine that the cheater is suffering a piling-on of sorts, but to suggest that multiple instances of well considered fraud is acceptable or barely worthy of notice confounds me. Any lack of confidence in the market numbers, such as occurs when people cheat or, worse yet, are allowed to get away with it, undermines the entire premise of the site and degrades the experience for all.
