So we have this admin/host here 'uday' that likes to PM members through the BBO client and harass and be moderately rude. Then comes some pathetic 48 hour ban when he gets it stuffed right back in his face. Now when on the site I always have hosts open to verify who(uday, really) is on. I find out today uday just came on. All of a sudden I have an Unknown disconnection, so I naturally log back in to find I am banned for another 48 hours. How interesting that is?

No offence to anyone else, but I dealt with this through the automated e-mailing to the attention of abuse@bridgebase.com with no response for 5 days now, so OBVIOUSLY seemingly pointless to e-mail abuse, probably due to a host of the site.

There is absolutely no need for a person that holds a high stature to a site to harass any member whether new or old and now I feel I have no choice but to basically spam every site bbo/bridge related to get the message across and knowning it will simply be deleted and IP blocked etc(for the most part)...that's just going to have me continue until I get an apology from uday and his immature ways.

Bottom line to me is, it's unacceptable behaviour coming from an admin/host on BBO and if it helps even just one member come out towards past indiscretions, than we begin down the right path to justification.

Hope this helps as this needs immedaite attention towards the BBO client and it's admins.

P.S. Just tried to log on and found that the 48 hour banning has turned into 10 months <---guess my work is doing EXACTLY what I wanted = proving my injustification.
