I'm not sure. I haven't seen all that much, but maybe i'm oblivious.
my thought is: if he's a tool, don't read his posts. He can bomb people, yes. but he's paying for it and y'all have the opportunity to do the same, right?
Considering the vast majority of people are paying upwards of $50 a pop to fill their gas tanks, paying for an annual Platinum Membership is not unreasonable. COTB, as I understand, are SUBSTANTIALLY more expensive, and by invitation only.
Look, not reading his posts is one thing, but Omega is infringing on the rights of other paying members on this site to free speech as defined within the parameters of TOS, plain and simple. Look at this horse manure:

I dont dislike you either and I think you worrying to much.
the only reason there is a bad image is that now abusive members cant be abusive. ther are ony 2-3 that fit that bill.
when I mean abusive I mean downright mean, bombing people all day, redding till no end, and teaming up on others.
all COTB did was allow that activity to stop against me, and for a couple of days that medicine will be given back
it will stop if I am no longer abused.......
its thats simple.

Hammy
Soreass

my only targets
So taken altogether, that means that if he doesn't like what someone's doing he's gonna play vigilant and step in, cause that's what it seems to say to me. The fact is, why's he bombing people if he can't get bombed or redded in return anymore? How can ANYBODY abuse him anymore???
And by the way, since when did Hammy bomb? For that matter, SINCE WHEN HAVE I BEEN ABUSIVE?!? Who have I EVER freaking bombed?! Four people that I can think of, Ilovetolift, SlimJim, KaitlinJRob and Thread Grader. I don't think I ever said WORD ONE to Omega before this past weekend, and the only reason I said anything to him is because it sounds like he's starting to develop a God complex! Now, because I told him he's sounding like an immature little putz "I'm on his list."
I don't mind a fight, but dammit I can't stand the fact he doesn't have the honor to limit himself to the weapons I'm limited to! I have a life, I can't afford to lay out $900 on a website even if I WAS invited! Shit, OTHER COTBs are ticked at him, THEY'D go after him, but even THEY'RE hamstrung! There's no damn checks and balances.
He doesn't like vulgarity, so what's to stop him from going in and just starting to bomb everyone who swears or delete their posts because he was offended by it? Or what's to stop him from just willy nilly deleting posts because that's what he feels like doing that day?
He's basically saying, "well, I laid out this money, I've got this power, and guess what, not only am I going to use it, I think I just might start making up rules that I think are better and maybe recreate the website. Let's keep the riff raff out and while we're at it, let's enforce a little discipline among the outspoken women here."
Because THAT's apparently how I set him off, I have called him immature, ignorant, rude and a whole lot of other things, but not once have I called him an oversized mouth with an undersized dick anything else really low because I actually can respect if a person really finds vulgarity offensive. BUT remember, I have been added to his "List of MOST VILE to regulate," (and I DEFY you to find one post where I got down and dirty in my postings to him), but never the less, to the list of most vile I have been added, and the only real reason I can figure out comes from this little gem:

I have a nice girlfreind for the last year and
I where the pants
beacase I am "THE MAN"
So apparently Omega's problem with me is that I'm FEMALE and saying, uh, yo, dude, stop acting like you're 10.
So the next time I asked him how old he was, he redded me ...
It comes down to the fact that it's creating a caste system, with some people having more rights than others simply by the fact that they are financially capable of paying the site for privileges that they never earned. Without having to EARN those privileges, and with no fear of removal of those privileges they have the potential to abuse anybody they want to.
I really like EF, I've made friends here, I have fun here, I spend A LOT of time here. I will be goddamned if some jumped up pissant young enough to be my son with money to burn is going to be my freaking censor, and I WILL NOT censor myself to keep his chauvanistic, paranoid, megalomaniacal ass happy.
Whatever, my Plat is up in the fall, the site owners will do what they see fit, and if everyone who is interesting leaves I'll just follow them, because I'll be
damned if I'm going to invest in the Omega Show.
If he can run roughshod over us, then anyone ELSE who becomes COTB will run roughshod. We don't even treat non-Plats that bad! Yeah, they get hazed but it ends if you wise up and chill out and have some respect and decency for people.
