Hi there,

It isn't this particular question. It is his history. We have been cleaning up after him for years now, and that time has passed.

You see, Matt spends his time here deliberately fishing for 1 ratings.

He typically words things in the most caustic manner possible to evoke an angry response, then comes to us for more attention.

It wasn't always this way. He was very helpful once upon a time. A real credit to the site and someone everyone could be proud to call an advisor.

That has been almost two years ago.

You have NO idea what he and his friend have put the administration of this site through, none at all.

Trust me, this isn't vindictive, it is our last effort to get him to shape up before he is removed from the site forever.

And he knows it. It seems out of character for him to have other people intercede... oh, no wait. We have danced this dance before with another couple of young ladies. Nevermind.

I am sorry about that, but this is something that was created by years of him playing the system for his own means. You really shouldn't put yourself in the middle of this.

When his writing style is no longer caustic, he will be off probation. It will be months before he is trusted again to the point where the mods don't have to watch his column constantly.

If you need to know more about his history on this site, you should ask him. Some of it is fairly embarrassing, and is up to him if he wants to share it or not.

We don't want to humiliate him, or embarrass him in any way... we simply want him to shape up or ship out. It really is that simple.

And before you go thinking that he only picks on stupid people... Be advised. I have seen his first column here, now deleted, and he was once very much like the people he now tries to belittle and humiliate.

He just recently had a fresh start here... we are all pulling for him to come around and save his tenure on this site from become an extinct entity.

Good luck,

DN.

Thanks for responding, I did not want to come off rude or anything. I did not know about his past on this site. Sorry=[

This advice column is for suggestions, comments, or error reporting about advicenators. If you'd like to suggest a new category, ask me a question. If you'd like to whine, bitch, or complain about advicenators, you may whine, bitch, or complain to me.

Three rules though:
1) Do not ask me for life advice. We have several thousand other members that do that.

2) Do not ask for help, or ask how to do something, or ask about
how something on the site works, unless you've read every word of our help pages and you're sure it's not addressed there.

3) Do not ask me to ban someone or investigate abuse. We have an entire abuse system set up for that.

If you disobey one of these rules, I'll delete your question.

Some guidelines about suggestions:
If you offer a suggestion that I find interesting, I might just ignore your question so it stays in my inbox as a reminder of something to do. Don't be upset that I don't answer you, and don't delete your questions (because then I'll forget!)

If you have three suggestions, please ask three separate questions, that way I can address each one individually. It's a real pain when people ask one question with like twenty different topics in it; I can't keep them straight.
