Mod's lowdown on PCResources drama

[hungrypete]

Couple questions, then I'll let it drop.

Did PCResources get banned? You guys seem pretty sure the whole story was BS, and the early outpouring of support deserves for him to be banned for good, IMO, and I'm certain others feel the same. Same goes for his alter-ego. I'm not interested in any mudslinging or insulting towards them, I really don't care, but I'm curious as to how the great ones handled the situation.

Begin lock countdown.....

Since Patrick was supposedly killed, leaving his "wife and children," and since there was such a strong, sympathetic response from our members, we checked his PM history to see what we could learn. On September 12, he PM'd at least one other member that "his girlfriend and her two children" were killed in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. So much for leaving his poor grieving wife and kids! :|

Since this loser went beyond the pale in his actions, - OF COURSE - he was banned under all of his aliases.

still not locked

 

[boyRacer]

Soon it will. I don't think addressing the mods will get you any response at all...i don't think that's even allowed.

 

[Brutuskend]

I agree with you.

They should be GONE for that crap.

Playing with peoples emotions like that is WRONG!

 

[hungrypete]

sometimes they respond. never to me, but ive seen it happen

 

[mztykal]

What was with that whole fiasco with PCResources. Was it bs? I didn't follow...

 

[hungrypete]

its here

but i dont want this to turn into a flame thread. everyone knows everyone is pissed, i just wanted to try and beg an answer from the mods

 

[Czar]

I would very much so like to see what the mods have, what proof they have?

I was perhaps fooled by how PCResources was, seemed like a very nice guy, I´m probably not the only one who thought so. I´m just shocked over this all and would like to know what proof is there that PCResources is a fraud.

 

[Alienwho]

The mods should allow atleast one of these threads open, people deserve to know. They're trying to cover it up like nothing happened.

 

[Brutuskend]

No kidding.
I tryed several times to AIR the subject and got the worlds fastest lock.

I find it strange that when they thought it was for real, they locked it at the top (for a short time anyway) and NOW we aren't even allowed to discuss it.



EDIT: There are no MOD's online right now......thats why this is still open....DISCUSS FAST
EDITED out questionable comment

 

[hungrypete]

hey, no insulting the mods, i want my answer, so dont piss them off

 

[yakko]

I would like to see them banned too. I told friends about the incident before I knew it was a fraud.

 

[iamwiz82]

i dont understand how people could everyone could have been fooled. His stories were outrageous.

fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, to quote a cliche

 

[Bluga]

what's going on?

 

[crypticlogin]

What I don't get is how NicklasReugen/PCResources haven't been banned, but Denniloss was? Both pulled on some heartstrings with their character's death, yet both NicklasReugen and PCResources were floating around the forums last night at about the same time, 10:30pm-ish.

 

[Juniper]

I don't get why people would pull this kind of trick. Is it to gain sympathy? Is it to have fun? Pfft... They suck!!!!!!!!

 

[b0mbrman]

That's very sad that it turned out to be not true...

 

[Logix]

It would have been quite sad if true. It's quite sad in a different way because it wasn't true.

A word just sticks out in my mind after all this, and I can't remember what movie it's from but this was one big MINDFSCK. Not as big as that "other" one, but still...

Oh, and commence lockdown in 3...2...1...

 

[BreakApart]

Czar,

Linky this pic was taken last night by "shotgun steve", it clearly shows both Nick and PCresources both logged in at the same time.-(same computer it appears) Shotgun Steve has added that link to his signature called: "I see Dead People"

Here is a Thread where they explain it so more, starts on the 19th post in that thread.

 

[Nitemare]

In before the loc.....mods giving an answer.

Bet they would get irked if we were to start a poll on whether or not he should be banned

 

[hungrypete]

shameless ^
