Now bounty managers are superman. They think they can do anything they want. But it should not be.
Nobody is superman. The manager handled the situation terribly. When he made the mistake, after receiving the pm from Wafflemaster he should have just fixed it and moved on. Wafflemaster should have calmly messaged the user and waited for the manager to reply and fix the mistake.
Instead wafflemaster went crazy and made a million posts all over the bitcasino thread, sportsbet thread, campaigns thread, and reputation section. They both made threats towards each other via pm and acted like children.
I don't care what reasoning they feel they had, they were both wrong.
What I have learned for the whole situation:
Jeremypower did not act very professional as a campaign manager. Maybe he will learn from this issue and make himself better. Only time will tell. Instead of the pm war with Waffle he needs to look at Waffles complaint or any other users complaint he receives and see if the complaint is warranted. If it is, then fix it. If the complaint is incorrect, then message the user and explain why it is incorrect.
Wafflemaster is someone I would not consider hiring ever. He has shown that he is 1 of the users that feels he is entitled. If he doesn't get his way he will try to force his opinion on you. This is not the type of user that goes far in this forum. Even though it turns out waffle is in the right as far as the mistake on post counts, he still took it too far and somehow has this misconception he got screwed out of 500+ dollars.
I can understand tempers flaring for a few minutes but neither guy came to his senses really and decided to turn it into a circus sideshow event over the last 12 hours
A fair analysis. Acknowledging that it turns out that I was right, I DID give him time before the scam accusation but not before other posts, which was a mistake. And noting that the campaign manager was extremely unprofessional with his threats, blackmailing and all of that. Perhaps both parties were indeed misguided in their initial reaction, but to say this absolves him of his blackmailing and that he will simply "learn" not to commit criminal activity like extortion is pretty ridiculous. Acknowledging the fact that he didn't fix his mistake as well. So really, anybody reading this can see that yes I may have overreacted initially by opening some posts... big deal? This man blackmailed, extorted, punished me in error. Then he offered to fix it, then broke that agreement. Honestly it is quite disgraceful, and now everybody's reputation is ruined, including the companies who hired him as an employee. THIS MAN IS LITERALLY PAID TO MANAGE A CAMPAIGN, something which he did incorrectly, then started extorting funds that were agreed to to try and censor a participant he kicked out in error and gave reduced pay to. You really going to ignore that?
