Besides Ryan, who can I contact about threats?

[neilson]

Today, I recieved a PM from someone that has taken issue with me on here:

"Your only worth is for medical experiments, like the Nazis used to do to Jews."

I have tried sending PMs to Ryan over the past year and a half to deal with this member, but he never responds. Is there anyone else on here that has the power like Ryan does to Ban or Report this member? I will not reveal his identity on here, but I think we'll all be better off without this user if they believe comments like the one above as well as:

"You are an idiot from a family of idiots from the land of idiots."

Thank You, and perhaps at the right time I'll explain this situation better.

i consider that a despicable personal attack...i hope the p.m. sender gets properly punished

try pm'ing rehan...he frequents off-topic more than others

[maebach]

I hope he/she gets deported. . .


I like that word (deported)

But on a serous note, thats just sick. The first comment is horrible. Lets just hope that you didnt send any nasty comments back so both of you would get the kick.

All I said in response was this "You are in the process of being reported, and you are the biggest hypocrite on this board."

I know I'm in the minority with my views sometimes, but what I like about RFD is that you guys have respect for everyone. We all want good deals, and mature responsible discussion.

Im sure you've been called worse by better. Is he constantly sending you these types of messages? If not who cares, people get mad say stupid ****.

I thought it was all water under the bridge; but apparently some ppl let e-hate get the better of them. Sad really when you forget that this is just a message board and making stupid comments like above can lead to you being somewhat more "restricted" in their viewing of the site. It would be nice to hear them say that they went over the line and that they were wrong to say such things, but that's too much to ask for and it's too much to expect.

[gilboman]

um...what threat are you talking about? those aren't threats. :confused:

threat ( P ) Pronunciation Key (thrt)
n.
An expression of an intention to inflict pain, injury, evil, or punishment.
An indication of impending danger or harm.
One that is regarded as a possible danger; a menace.

those are just someone's personal opinion of you. negative opinion is different than threat.

[Amourek]

Looks perfectly fine to me. No threats, just insults.

That's hate mail. I'd contact Rehan, he's a pretty level headed dude.

Absolutely. That ain't normal, bringing up Nazis & stuff. RFD has zero tolerance for this so that crazy dude PM'ing won't stay on RFD. It goes beyond a simple insult -- this is HATE.

what's weird is that I thought Ryan & Derek were Israeli if not Jewish

wouldn't they be on top of that **** in 2 seconds

[steve.m]

post the person name who is pming you with these nasty comments, we need to flame him. :mad:

[Alvito]

dont post his name. tell a mod. put him on your ignore list. what did you do to him to piss him off so much?

[neilson]

It's Roninvancouver, but don't flame him. I expect all of you guys to be responsible on here, but at the same time I think he should be exposed.

Again, don't do anything or send anything to him that'll make the situation worse; rather help me in PMing the Mods to get him properly taken care of.

[Alvito]

i said dont post his name!

[steve.m]

ok i won't flame him since that would get me in trouble, but still those are hate comments he sent you. ban for a month at least.

"Your only worth is for medical experiments, like the Nazis used to do to Jews."
very fcuking offensive!

[neilson]

i said dont post his name!

I am hoping that we can be responsible on the situation. I think it's only fair that RFD does know who said this, that they are exposed, and that you guys can follow my lead in PMing the Mods so that this does not fall through the cracks again.

That's my thing; I don't want this to fall through the cracks again.

[neilson]

If anything as well; I invite Ron to come on this thread and maturely and responsibly explain himself and his reasoning for the hate speech. The man has common sense, I'm sure, but for whatever reason has seen me as a target for the past year and a half. I just want to hear what he has to say, and then the Mods can do as they need to.

k) As of June 15, 2005 there will no longer be a warning sent to those who personally attack another member or hurl hate filled messages at groups of people. The penalties for making such an attack either through a post, signature or through the private messaging system are now as follows:

1st Offence: 3 day ban

l) Only one forum account is allowed per individual person. People found to have multiple accounts who are using them in a benign manner will be given the choice of which account they would like to keep. If a user has multiple accounts in order to commit fraud or to circumvent a ban or any other RFD rule, they will have all of their accounts banned and will not be allowed back into the RFD forums ever.

I can't bring up his posts on me before June 15th, 2006 since those are considered "Amnesty Posts". However, I feel that before he has any sanctions leveled on him, Roninvancouver needs to explain himself on here because to be fair, if RFD doesn't shine the light on members like him, then they won't understand that it's not right to say such things and is just plain wrong.

[aquariaguy]

Just drop it, he's not even threatening you. Just saying some racist stuff over the internet.

Or pre-empt attack him like typical Americans ;) i kid i kid

[neilson]

Derek, I just want to hear his side, and then you can do as you need to.

If you're having problems with a particular member you can report the thread or contact one of the moderators. If it's more than one thread and more like a continual problem send an e-mail to forums@redflagdeals.com and we'll follow up.
