Should he be reported

this poll is stupid. There are two people who have authority in this matter. First, as the victim, AEQ has the right to decide how to pursue legal action. And then TP, as the owner of this site, decides who gets banned. We can express our opinions, but they don't really matter.

If your sense of justice is left wanting there are so many causes to apply yourself. For instance, your righteous indignation would be more constructively spent working to stop

jimmym, this is a bit pointless because unless you have the evidence linking him to the crime the authorities are going to tell you that all you have is hearsay which doesn't give rise to the probable cause they'd need to go arrest him. The only one with that evidence is Lou (and maybe PS and Neteller), so it's up to him/them.

YOU LIVE IN THE FOOKING UK.....WHAT ARE THE BOBBYS GONNA RIDE OVER HERE AND TIE HIM UP AND TAKE HIM BACK...GET OVER IT....ITS NOT UP TO YOU.....GOOD DAY

Whether or not he should be reported is not up to us. And, I think it's in quite poor taste to have a poll on the situation.

Aeq was the victim of the crime and that is the person that decides to press charges in this situation. You were neither a witness nor a victim of the crime...so your opinion doesn't matter one little bit.

Sure, you heard about the crime, but that does not give you reason to turn in someone that may or may not be guilty. You don't go to the cops with a second hand story about something that may or may not have happened because your sense of justice tells you he should be punished.

In this situation, yeah..I'm guessing we can give Aeq the benefit of the doubt...but situations like this are not always the case. That's exactly why you aren't the one pressing charges. The victim of the crime (or the state) would be the one pressing charges.

It's a personal decision for Aeq on whether charges should be pressed. If an agreement can be made and all parties satisfied to the best possible outcome, then so be it. End of story. If Aeq feels that charges should be pressed for whatever reasons, then so be it. End of story.

The same with TP. Sure, we could talk about whether he should be banned...but our names aren't on the top of this page and they aren't on the bills. That's a decision for TP and him only. Ban or not. It's still his decision.

As for the rest of this...Everybody knows what happened. We know pretty much how it happened. The parties INVOLVED are reaching whatever agreements they so choose. The End.

It wouldn't bother me one bit if the thread was locked because the only thing left to do is ask a bunch of questions to holdem that nobody will probably understand the answers...it serves no good to continue dragging it all out.

Am I the only one who has no problem with this poll?

I think jimmy was just taking a poll to get people's opinions on what they thought Aeq should do.... not what HE (jimmy) should do. And I see nothing wrong with asking for other people's opinions about this. We've had far stupider polls in the past.

As for the banning, I'm still holding off a day or two to see how things shakes out (and give him a chance to respond to whatever here), but I can't really think of many good reasons to NOT ban him.

I see no need to enable a scam artist (even to the slightest degree, where lea learns anything about any of us), or to allow him to be a part of this forum because he thinks its "intertaining" (sic).

I dont have any issues with this poll at all really, untimatley Its Lou who is gonna decide what to do though no matter what we say its his decision alone. He pretty much knows what he is gonna do already and Lou is a pretty smart guy and knows what is best for this paticular situation.

As for banning, I agree with TP there is no reason to have someone like that on this forum at all. I see absolutley no reason to keep him here, he stole and lied and took someones money. He hasnt added anything to this forum at all in my opinion and even if he did this would kill anything positive he brought to this forum. We as users should have a big say in the kind of people we keep around here. Of course this is TP's and Lou's decision seeing as he is admin and Lou is person that was hurt the most by this guy. But if you want opinions I say get rid of him before he does it again, once a theif always a theif. Unless you go to one of those cool reform schools then maybe you can break the habbit. I mean seriously if it was that easy for him to do what is gonna stop him from doing it again a couple months down the line when this blows over. I mean he might be able to hide it better next time and without proff there wont be much we can do. I say stop it now!

I didn't think it was clear. But he's removed the post now so I'm not entirely sure.

Jimmy's first two posts in the this thread, now missing, made the entire poll objectionable.

In the first post, Jimmy states that he is going to take action unless Aeq does and in the second post he justifies his desire to act with some rambling story about getting rewarded for “doing the right thing” Part/most of the second post is contained in X-LS-X reply (#4)
