Hi all,

I was wondering what the protocol was for calling out weirdos on this site.

I do not want to get into details at this point, not too far, but I had a member stay at my gkise for a coupke of days and had to ask him to leave.

Bunch of red flags. Please let me know. Was trying to help him out, bit about 5 minutes in, I knew it was a mistake.

Report to Admins by hitting the "report" link.

Um.... should any of us be worried?  Sounds a little scary  :(

All we can do is ban them if they have broken a rule or we think are a danger to our members.
Send a PM to julian, this is his forum.

Never give out any personal information like your address, workplace, or anything else until you feel completely secure with them.

That is awful that this happened to you.  I would feel betrayed somehow when all you were trying to do is help.  :(

Islandman

I'll PM. Thanks for the info.

I wasn't threatened in any way, and I don't think he is dangerous, just don't want anyone else to have to deal with this guy. He's in PR now. 

It was my mistake to begin with trying to help someone out. Will not make that mistake again.

On a funnier note, just got this from another member last night (excerpt):
