Matt, Thew


Question Posted Wednesday August 1 2007, 6:27 pm

Ok- So I filed this abuse report [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
and it said that you can not change Matt's ratings anymore. I don't think that this is fair just because of the fact that some people do not rate fairly if they are not told exactly what they want to hear. Also, the person gets away with leaving rude feedback too.

Something just isn't right about this, thought I would just take it up with you first:]

Sorry about my obnoxiousness

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.
