Hello,

I usually handle disciplinary actions pretty behind the scenes and not make a big deal out of them. This issue has come to a point that I figured it would be worth trying to talk out publicly.

The player known as Big Baller has had his share of run-ins with a few people in this game. I've talked to him once or twice about complaints I've gotten about him.

Some of his behavior I've been complained to about is clearly in violation of the rules of our community (although I admint that the rules of conduct are not well documented right now in a centralised place), and some things were not really against the rules, but things that people here typically frown on (i.e. attemping to poach members from other agencies).

I think it's pretty easy for people who are new to sleuth to make similar mistakes. We are, after all, a little less permissive (and consequently, quite a bit more civil) than public internet sites.

Anyway, I've talked to him recently and he said he's willing to be a little better community member. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

One problem is that he's made enough enemies that other people are jumping on his threads without giving him much chance. So, of course, h get's defensive and continues to come off in a negative light.

So, anyway, please give him a chance to start over. Hopefully if we extend that courtesy to him, he'll be able to live up to his end of the bargain.

Thanks Ben! I too was warned about this detective by several agents. I had no idea what he was like at the time I welcomed him here. Thankfully, I never recieved messages from him, praise the Lord! Ben, you're fair and considerate of all members and try hard to please, which we greatly appreciate. Thanks for banning this nonsense.

Thanks from a recipient of some of the garbage referenced above. Maybe in addition to cancelling his account his agent could be given a starring role as a corpse in one of the mysteries. Ben,thanks again for keeping the streets of Sleuthsville clean of trash....now if we could just get rid of all these dead bodies that keep popping up.

I encountered him a while back and I could tell right off what he wanted. At first I did not give him much thought but only thing he brought up was what do you know about this girl or what do you know about her. But I would think this thread would be something he would be enjoying right now or totally opposite and he is beat red and pressure is building towards explosion. From what I understand I don't see what good this is doing because he can always create another different Detective, right? If anyone figures it out he can just create a new one and doesn't have to care about the old in fact if you think about it for him why wouldn't he want to create not one but even more than just one at a time I can see him even put up thread and complain about himself to hide his true identity and strike again. If he is just a pervert I would think he might not like attention about him and won't hang around site for much longer since community is more aware of who the real Shady Guy is and he ain't in the bar!! What would be my concern is he is only part pervert and could also be something worse like also being violent and vindictive. Realistically what can be done to identify and verify who a detectives true identity really is???What if he has changed and now the girls around here are safe, but the only way I can ever see the ladies being safe is if the way he changes is that he now is starting on the other sex and given up with the ladies!!!Maybe Ben can create a computer run Detective that would be like Internal Affairs and randomly go around sending and receiving PMs on a sting operation to identifying who Shady Detectives are!!

SIR KITTITHAJ'S INVESTIGATIVE REPORT

Subject: jovanjohnson

I was tracking jovanjohnson since the last incident:

He first subscribed on the 5th of May.
He immediately joined Starsky&Hutch. Later he was fired, on the same day.
He was retired on the next day, the 6th of May. That was his last login.

Subject: big balla

Note: there's something fishy about him. Which normal people would name himself 'big balla' anyway?

I ran a background check on him immediately after I had read Ben's first comment:

His last login was on the 15th of May.
Counting his age, I concluded that he created his character on the 6th of May, the same day jovanjohnson had retired.

Coincidences?

I think not.

END OF REPORT
--------------------------


Oh wait, you've known all of that.

All of my investigation went for naught.
