If you make a site that relies on users to make ads profitable you are morally obligated to treat your users with respect. Is he within his rights? Maybe... but who cares? That is so beside the point, which is that he's an asshole, period.

morally obligated? LMAO. okay.

The first ban wasn't too bad but banning some guy for posting : "kyle, have some sympathy, i dont think its necessary to rip on someone that made an honest mistake, you basically just came in and said "youre screwed", that kind of rhetoric isn't adding any new information to this thread" is just :thumbsdown:

Morals have nothing to do with this conversation.

Seems simple enough to me, I don't know how to break it down any further without sounding condescending.

He owns the site. He can do as he pleases and has no "moral obligation" to do anything at all. Choosing to disrespect his users may make him a bad business man, but he has no obligation to anyone other than himself. If the sites that are advertising don't like the content of his site or the level of respect he has for members, then they can pull their ads. I'm not disagreeing that he is an asshole, frankly because I've never been to that site, so wouldn't know, but to say he has a moral obligation is ridiculous.

So which one was you?

I don't post there, but it seems like a couple people broke the Rules. Too bad, so sad.

We should liberate them from the harsh tyranny of Kyle and introduce them to this superior forum! :D

I've always thought that there were way too many ass kissers in Hardocp. Such low lives.

Even when every word is true? :confused:

Heh... If Anand posted here, I'd hope that you would know better than to call HIM a tool!

Never mess with the mighty forum gods, for they can smite you down in a fit of rage! :D

Oh, and Kyle IS a tool.

That's standard for forums, unfortunately. The only odd thing is that the thread wasn't deleted to cover the tracks.
