HotRecruiter, if it's any consolation, I will stay out of your thread this time around. If you won't overdo it, I will obviously keep track.

Just to clarify, that conversation and whoever that spammer was had NOTHING to do with you, Richard. I've honestly never seen the name they gave me.



Anyways, I'm done on this. We've come full circle.

I think we've received great feedback over all on K440, especially considering CEO is a brand new forum that's less than a month old!

Most people are able to see that we are good guys that are genuinely trying to start up a fun forum that will be run in a fair, professional and ethical way without us abusing our power as Admin and will always protect and respect our members privacy, etc.

KiR is over there grasping for straws to justify publishing OD's PM's, Gav cleared me of the "promised to stop PMing K440 members" which I've been very vocal with everyone I felt no shame in doing and definitely made no promises to stop, and I was given permission from XXXX to clear my own name of allegedly admitting I knew of the email spammer they're upset about, which I think my WhatsApp dialog showed what was REALLY said, unlike what KiR claims was reported back to him (and he deleted that, LoL).



Now KiR is talking about a third founder (¿?), LoL, and a poster over here that's magically posting while banned, etc.

This is the smear campaign that I think most people were waiting for him to start. And I pray it's blatantly obvious to others who read his posts to see what he's doing.

Oh, and he clarified I'm not actually "banned" like I've been telling everyone, I'm "deactivated." Jeez. Does that make me a liar now? Anyways, that's a total joke response anyways. He said the reason he did it was to "block me from sending other members PM's", and if that were even half true, he could have simply "disabled" my PM functions. He just got upset I turned down the Mod position and was deciding to team up with The Dragon and banned me within a literal minute. Hope you guys can see through those silly answers he gives.

I will do my best not to comment in the future when he says even more slanderous untruths about us, but please just try to remember our goal here is to run this place transparently, and I am a standup guy, and will be doing my part to run CEO ethically and WITHOUT spreading untruths about anyone.

I was glad to see people over there calling him out for his deceiving ways. It reminds me that we don't need to take his bait every time he tries to smear our names, and hopefully most people will see right through his little mind games and dirty tactics without any responses/interaction from us needed.

And I'm sincerely sorry that everyone had to read these childish back and forth exchanges (and yes, I'm fully aware I started this thread, so I take the blame for that), but maybe it will be an interesting read years down the road when someone asks "How did CEO get started in the first place?", and this thread comes up, LoL.

Over and out (ok, we need at least ONE more post after mine. I really don't want to prove Violet right, LoL).
