Hey, guys
 
Hey, guys; this is PlatinumDude. Like I said in the New Users Hangout thread, I came from BMGf (and eventually got banned). So I decided to come here and start a new life. I hope to contribute to this community in a good way.

Hey! Glad to see you're trying out our site. Just make sure you don't get yourself banned here too. :P

So, welcome!

Welcome PlatinumDude,

What exactly did you get banned for, if you don't mind me asking?

Anyway, glad you decided to join PC. And I hope you find it a better experience than your last.

Banned? Oh, that's not good. Make sure you read over the rules here to ensure that that doesn't happen here. ;) Glad to see that you're making a fresh start though. I'm sure you'll love it here. C:

You'll have to PM me if you want to know why I got banned. Anyway, thanks for the welcomes; I do appreciate it.

@Mewtwo: Call me PD, Plat or Platinum, okay?

@Sydian: I had fun at BMGf, and I'm hoping to have fun here (I ran into several BMGfers during my first time here).

Welcome to PC, PD.

He got banned for harassment, most of it sexual towards girls

From a Mod over at BMGf

"I know we usually make a policy about not discussing bans, but I want to talk very briefly about the ban of PlatinumDude, to quell rumours and speculation. He was banned from the forums, permanently, for conduct we (as a moderator staff) felt was harmful to the forums. Specifically, we were worried about his pattern of harassment of female members of the forum, which was on a number of occasions sexual in nature. In particular, his conduct towards several underage female members was outright manipulative and frankly unacceptable. Any of these alone would have been sufficient for a ban. The final decision to ban was agreed upon by all moderators and the ban was put into place by Archaic personally.

As a staff, we have no further comment on either issue. But we felt it was reasonable and respectful to all involved, and to the public as a whole, to outline at least this basic information. We do not tolerate this sort of behavior at Bulbagarden--harassment and manipulation, sexual or otherwise, of our members."

And from another Mod

A couple of extra points regarding the ban of PlatinumDude, in response to a few discussions here and elsewhere that have been brought to our attention. I may end up adding to these if any further points come up, though I think this covers about everything.

1. PlatinumDude was not hacked. This was stuff he did himself. I checked the IPs, etc. Even if I hadn't, #2 below would preclude any conclusion of hacking anyway.

2. His ban is not based on a single incident. It involved a number of things which happened over protracted periods of time. There's no way he could not have been aware of what he was doing, and no way he can possibly claim that a hacker was doing these things for all these months without him noticing.

3. The reason this behaviour was not detected earlier was because it was happening mostly in VM's and PM's, and had not been reported to staff. If it had been reported, going by the material we've seen while investigating this, we would've banned him many many many months ago.
