mikemate 26-Aug-25, 18:39	Jimmy .cyber-1 cyber-1. It has been 11 days since a post has been made in this club. That last post(s) were about rating manipulation and Jimmy (cyber-1) was mentioned. He is leaving Gameknot, see his profile. I tried to reach out to him, but he did not respond. Anything to say?

dynamic-dv 26-Aug-25, 22:43	What goes round comes around!
mikemate 27-Aug-25, 18:48	Jimmy, Dave's post is not threatening, not calling you out, not distasteful. Why not just go quietly.

royal_knight1 28-Aug-25, 19:41	mikemate Mike just to let you know as cyber1 had no responded to you i don't think he will be leaving as he now has 13 games.
mikemate 28-Aug-25, 19:51	He told me that he will stay on Gameknot. I suspect he wants to get his rating to go up and then join a team. I think I know what team but it would be a guess.

mikemate 29-Aug-25, 06:24	Dave, Jimmy will not take any team games until his rating is where it was before all of the resignations. He has friends and one very good friend on our team.
dynamic-dv 29-Aug-25, 06:37	good to know Mike, I trust you absolutely and know you will do the right thing. Regards Dave
lord_shiva 30-Aug-25, 15:04	Kings of the Castle Cyber-1 has joined Kings of the Castle. Before leaving his rating was 1600+. His team rating will be depressed, but I think he is only on the team to take a co-captain position, for now. He beat a 1670+ player in a personal game, so I see no reason to suspect any rating manipulation. I’m glad he has decided to remain on GK, and hope all goes well. When he does start team games just bear in mind his team rating was ~1340. Maybe make a note of it in player notes. That seems fair.

mikemate 30-Aug-25, 15:20	Thank you, I just added the team game rating was ~1340 and his current team rating is 1277. Rating was 1600+ before all of the resignations. We will watch this for future pairings.
cyber-1 30-Aug-25, 15:27	I wont be playing team games, but will make matches. Can I ask for apatzer to remove his usual ugly comments which are about me, this is because he has me in his ignore list along with many other innocent victims, but I have only him in my ignore list. Thank You and Kind Regards Jimmy

apatzer 30-Aug-25, 20:13	cyber-1 Jimmy, I’ll remove the comment as you requested, out of respect for your wishes. I want to be honest, though—my original remark reflects how I truly feel and isn’t too far off the mark. You’re dependable when you choose to be, but you also tend to react strongly to things, get offended easily, quit teams suddenly, and have used several different names on GK. At one point, you even pretended to pass away. It seems like you seek attention, but sometimes get upset when that attention turns negative. For the record, my comments are not because you’re on my ignore list, as you suggested. You ended up on my ignore list because of a vulgar and nasty private message you sent to me. Rather than respond in kind, I simply decided to block communication. From your recent attempt to contact me again, I believe that was the right decision. Additionally, I’d like to say that if you’re struggling with alcohol, it might be a good idea to reach out for help. The only reason I bring this up is because I’ve noticed certain signs—during the day, you’re quite pleasant and people obviously like you, but lately things seem to be getting worse. It’s never too late to seek support, and I genuinely hope you find happiness and well-being.
apatzer 30-Aug-25, 20:18	BTW and PS Jimmy The many other victims remark was uncalled for. You are actually the only one on my ignore list. Just being honest. It is in poor taste to try and paint someone with a false brush.
apatzer 30-Aug-25, 20:22	here I'll prove it 8upload.com Just so you don't accuse me falsely again. thanks
cyber-1 31-Aug-25, 03:29	Well you are good at walking over people and GK rules and policy's. I hope you are sober by the time you see this! Otherwise I can expect more dribble from you!
apatzer 31-Aug-25, 08:00	cyber-1 Nope, you will receive no more replies from me. Good luck with your attention seeking. Bu bye
cyber-1 31-Aug-25, 08:09	Robert Bye And Kind Regards!
cyber-1 03-Sep-25, 15:21	Can I point out to the moderators, that in the past GK stated in their rules, that players must not use the clubs to contact players which are in their ignore list. apatzer Robert violated the GK rules more than once! He has slandered me in this club, and I have him in my ignore list. He also has me in his ignore list. After he slandered me the first time, I was in touch with our friend lord_shiva and informed him that once a mini tournament finishes, which I am in, then I am closing my account and will be leaving GK for good! Since then Robert has been allowed "here" to slander me again! I don't understand why the moderators are allowing someone in my ignore list to contact me via the club? Robert has stated "here" that he has me in his ignore list! I am still waiting for the mini tournament to end! Thanks
apatzer 03-Sep-25, 15:39	cyber-1 How incredibly foolish and narrow-minded you are. You do realize my original post about the "grandfather clock" was not directed at anyone in particular (the title bar was empty). You were right in guessing that my comment referred to your reliability. Yet it was you who claimed I had you on ignore, because you knew I did, as you attempted to send me another unpleasant DM. Despite that, you were the one who posted to make a request of me first by asking, if you could ask me, to remove my comment—and I did. Do you see how ridiculous that makes you look? I don’t think you do. But it’s classic attention-seeker behavior—the "soggy potato chip" rule. Is this negative attention better than no attention to you? Wow , just wow... "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it."~ 1907 in Mrs. Goose, Her Book by Maurice Switzer May I suggest for your own sake , you pick a different target. I'm not as nice as Shirley was.
cyber-1 03-Sep-25, 15:56	I would like the moderators to know that a person in my ignore list is not allowed to contact me in the clubs
apatzer 03-Sep-25, 16:06	No such rule exists gameknot.com Sorry my phone butchered this but it is readable Rules of Conduct: 1) You may not harass, insult, badger, threaten, or intentionally annoy, irritate, or rush other players. 2)You may not use any sexually explicit, vulgar, obscene, rude, harmful, disturbing, threatening, abusive, defamatory, hateful, inflammatory, racially or ethnically offensive language and/or images.

apatzer 03-Sep-25, 16:10	Sorry Jimmy, But you will have to try something else. Or you could stop making a fool of yourself and act like an adult.
cyber-1 03-Sep-25, 16:18	To the moderators Has GK rules changed! Previously GK insisted that if a player has another player in his ignore list, then that player in the ignore list cannot contact the player (who is ignoring the other player) in the clubs. Now that rule or GK policy makes sense, but if GK has changed their rules and is allowing the ignored person to contact and insult his victim and slander him in public, then that don't make sense. Thank You
apatzer 03-Sep-25, 16:18	Jimmy I'm actually kinda flattered that you think about me so much. You really should try to stop thinking about me. It is becoming unhealthy.
cyber-1 03-Sep-25, 16:27	To the moderators I am ignoring comments from a person who is contacting me in the club, as he is in my ignore list, but I would like to say that I have studied psychology and law and all I see from that person is dribble after dribble
cyber-1 03-Sep-25, 16:50	If it helps I can say that in all the times in which I have been a member at GK, I only had one user name! I left after Shirl tried to make me stay after my wife aged 53 died, Shirl was my best friend and she let me know about her sadness. I was upset about my own sadness and left GK. I came back and left again after one of my sons hung himself. I came back and left again after a brother died. I apologise that I upset Robert and my friend Shirl
