Evidence


The evidence provided shows where Morgan had posted a comment with the original content:

I responded to his lack of attention with a mutually half-hearted comment. He makes another response, modifies the content of his original post and makes the following comment:

I feel that by referring to a referring to negating from my karma as a 'trade' he is directly accusing me of doing this to him; I feel that this comment is defamatory as he has no premise to suggest that I did what he is accusing me of, and consequently he is violating the 'No unlawful or objectionable content.' section and the subsidiary terms therein of the Terms of Use.

Additionally, by publicly demonstrating his intent on 'trading ... -karma back' I feel that he is conducting himself with malice and spite, something which is also condemned under the aforementioned section and the 'No disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour' section, which states that users should not conduct themselves in a manner believed to be 'mean spirited' or 'with intent on causing trouble'. By choosing to publish his intentions as what appears to be a personal victory from an action which is supposed to be anonymous, I think that it is evident that he has gone out of his way to cause trouble.

It can also be noted that Morgan could be acting upon a prior grudge derived from a generally negative relationship with him in the past, whereby as one of his supervisors I played a key role in various sanctions issued for wrongdoings. If this is the case, it is also another count of Morgan behaving with an intent to cause trouble.

I believe this whole thing is just a mis-understanding.

I was never having an intent to cause trouble, or holding a grudge.

I was confused at first, I posted on the application thinking it was a Staff Application, but I forgot we're accepting users for beta.

I'd also like to note, I have no grudge against you, I even gave you a +Support, as you're a former community manager, and I consider you a friend. After I made a comment thinking this was a staff application, I received a -Karma, assuming it was from you. I admit, the -karma thing was out of line, but an abuse report out of it? This was just a mis understanding, and I'm sorry if you thought I was intending to cause, and go out of my way to create trouble, I really wasn't.


Creating an abuse report out of this, was a bit too much in my opinion, it could easily be handled by messaging me on steam.

I am reporting you for violating the terms of use, which is a serious offense and is not undue of a report. The only comment which I am critical of is the one pertaining to karma; not what you claim to be a simple misunderstanding but what I believe to be directly fabricated malice.

Is chris a lawyer? xD

You two still have a grudge against each other don't you? XDD

Fabricated malice?

I can promise you this, I never intended harm, and i'm not holding any grudges at all.

You're a good guy, and a friend, why would I intend to cause trouble with you?

I just made a comment about -karming you, which I removed seconds later.

Denied I don't think Morgan is meaning any harm to anyone in what he said.
