AWA85 - Banned???
I was reading an old thread on an Adam Dunn gamer, when I saw under his username that AWA85 had been banned. What is the reason for this? I remember that he was my age (23), and he always had interesting things to say about the game-used hobby. Why is this valuable member of our collecting community now banned? I read many of AWA85's posts, and I cannot discover any grounds for his banning.
What is going on here?Les Zukor

I bet it has something to do with his posts in the thread (Wanted For Sale Items To Come Back!!!). Their going to ban everyone that made a post in that thread because they know were onto their plan and they need to get rid of the proof.

Ham - Looks like he was banned today so the question is why????
Very good posts by him in the past. It is a shame to see valuable members not on the site as much too.
I can think of 3 that aren't posting as much lately namely Rudy, Reid, and Brett.
Those are 3 guys that I always looked forward daily to reading their posts.

We really shouldn't be banning 23-year-olds; they are the future of this hobby.

These admins have to much power. They dont give two sh*ts what we think. When we stand up against them all they will do is ban us. Cigarman44 is right its just like communism(messed up).

Re: AWA85 - Banned???
The reason AWA85 was banned was because he took email addresses off the GUU site and sent those members an unsolicited email. While I will not comment on the ethics of such behavior, I will tell you that, not only did we receive feedback from a number of members who did not appreciate receiving the email, such actions will not be tolerated on GUU.
Contrary to the posts on this thread which, of course, were made without an understanding of the situation, we do not ban members without just cause.
If anyone has any questions they can feel free to email me directly.Christopher Cavalier

I decided to email AWA85 and ask him what happened. Out of respect for his privacy, I will only quote a portion of what he shared. Here goes:

I can only respond that the content of the email, not his writing several members, is the real reason why he was suspended.
I know this because I read all the emails, and AWA85 was not alone in his suggestion that we find a new forum that actually listens to its collectors and is not a for-profit enterprise.Les Zukor
