Question On Banning

Should AZ ban promoters of contest who fail to fulfill their obligations? In other words, if someone promotes a contest, announces a winner and fails to deliver the prize; should that person be banned from AZ or should they be allowed to continue being part of this community?

If the person is allowed to remain, what does it say about a community that has members which are less than honorable? Not just that, but what does it say about us (all) who allow it to persist or encourage it?

Just saying....
 
Ban them.

I don't understand why someone would hold a contest and not fulfilling. It's either to promote their business or self promotion and trying to get attention.
 
I think they should be banned and have their balls removed.

Come on.....was the original post intended as a set-up for another round of chanting
"Let's lynch Bill Stroud. over the dream cue contest".....which by the way only the
original winner has any right to voice complaint about not happening but he hasn't
posted any threads or comments calling for Bill Stroud's scalp........Please.......just
move on and get over it......OMG.......like anyone is out any deposit for a cue order?
It's disappointing when there are crooked, dishonest cue-makers stealing money
from AZers on unfulfilled cue orders and you're looking to hammer Bill Stroud...duh?

Not necessarily in that order.
Cruel & unusual punishment would be to remove the balls first as well as their ability to post, leaving them ball less and post less on an internet forum.

You forgot to add. IMHO, Fongjools

How do you figure this anyway. There where many participants involved in that contest, all who put in a reasonable amount of time on their designs.

That plus being members of AZ, they have an absolute right to voice their displeasure on how the contest went down.

They were sticking up for the winner and anyone of them could have been in his place.

If you had bothered to read the follow up posts, the winner eventually did make a post
stating his opinion on how he was treated by Stroud.


If the OP is referring to the Design Contest, then yer right, we really don't need another Stroud thread. We just have to Bump the original once in awhile.

Bill should have been banned shortly after he Strouded the winner.

Bill really doesn't participate in any threads here but he does hang around and read.
Obviously he feels zero guilt for what he did.

I sent him a Red and will continue to do so to remind him again in the future.

Maybe the OP should have mentioned what incident he was referring to.

Thanks for reminding me tho as its about time to send Stroudick another Red.

Hes just an old man that perhaps will have a heart attack soon while playing pool and hit his pumpkin on the edge of the table on his way to the floor
while clutching his chest.

So when that happens and someone posts a RIP Bill Stroud thread, it will be devoid of many posts and will hit page 10 in short order.

Karma works. You make Shit soup for dinner and you will be eating alone.

I owned and operated a few chat rooms and forums (there was a sudden death in the family and mom in law asked for help) Moderating us monkies ain't easy.

In 2007, before my unfortunate divorce, if anyone google searched "adult chat" or "lesbian chat" or a multitude of keywords, my site returns were #1, 2, 4 and 5. I had a great search engine optimizer. They were free chat rooms. I had @ 1 million visitors a month from which clicked on banner ads and sent 50,000 people a month to the largest sex site in the world. adultfrienderfinder.com. They loved me. I felt a little dirty, it wasn't my call, but my apparent duty. We may have been #1, I think we were.

Anyway my point - It was a handfull - moderating minors, predators, hackers and threat of violence.
The pm's - reading of posts and private rooms, the emails and phone calls required to keep peace was a chore. The research required to stay on top of it was mandatory.

Holding AZB to peace requires more than most may notice.

AZ does a GREAT job.

There have definitely been some rip-off cuemakers that should be banned, we all know who they are,
and I would never put Bill Stroud in that category.
I do think that if Bill gets drunk again and starts another "Design Your Dream" contest thread, he should be considered
a danger to society, and banned for his own good as well as others.

Do you know if there is an Sheep Friend Finder. I would give just about anything to find the one that wore the little bell.
 
No question- should have been banned

Stroud shouldn't be allowed to participate among the AZ community after his actions showed complete contempt for us. In the end, we don't own this place, Mike H does. I have the utmost respect for Mike and he must have his reasons for not doing so. I hope it is something more substantial than just friendship.

Bill stroud should hope he is never stranded in some remote location and set ablaze when I come driving by. I'd let him burn.
 
Amazing the hate Stroud drums up, while other cue makers who have ripped people off of their hard earned cash often get defended.
