Jeff

I was not going to say anything but I will for clarity.

I received a phone call last week from a person claiming to be "Jeff". He claimed to be interested in our software and, I started to give him a demo but his answers to my questions were vague and so bad that I knew immediately that something was wrong. I even asked him if he knew of a person Named Kevin Quinn, which he denied knowing him but ultimately I hung up on him when I asked what he sold and he replied "antiques and I go to yard sales" I then looked up his phone number from a previous time when he threatened to hack into our software (I have the emails where he threatened it).

He later went on the board and said "Bob just did me a favor and confirmed on the phone that as an administrator of the simpleauctionsite script you can see the max bids.", which again was a lie. He has said on several occasions that he just wants to help with our security. So someone threatens to hack into my company, lies to me about who is and wants to help me??? The irony in this is just ridiculous. Their you have it, again I was not going to say anything but I wanted to fill in the blanks for everyone.

Ah... well see sometimes I start out a little slow and need a push in the right direction. It all makes sense now. I was thinking "wow Leon usually lets people push things a little further than that" and I thought it was pretty dick-ish to ban him for that post.

Leon - sorry for thinking you were being dick-ish

No, that is apparently his aunt

Great thread. I'm actually a bit surprised it took this long.

Anyone can see a members public information under their profile and ID. Kevin had already been given a public warning several months ago (as anyone can see). It's clear I don't care for the way he acts. However, A moderator not necessarily "liking" a member is never a reason to oust them from the board. IF that were the case there would be a few others banned for that reason alone. But when Kevin continually made divisive comments AND then challenged me saying nothing could be done to prevent someone from being on the board, well, that was enough. You don't point a gun at cop and dare them to shoot. As was said, it is ok to question everything. It is ok to question how this forum is run, any auction house, myself or any other moderator, member or company. However, if you challenge someone you should expect the challenge to be met. Kevin thinks it's easy to hack everything on the internet, including this forum. I don't think so. Sure, someone can crawl in without being verified enough but that is a far cry from hacking. (imo) My goal to not ban folks remains. It really does take quite a bit to be banned. A lot of members think it should be done sooner or more often but that is not our (my) MO on the board.
