Selling of private player databases is a timeless issue, it will NEVER be unimportant, NEVER! It was wrong yesterday, it is wrong today, and it will be wrong tomorrow!
When just one person feels they can openly offer for sale, such an item, we have an issue. When we start to see multiple cases of the behavior we have a problem. When that problem is permitted to occur in a visible location, we have a serious problem!
The older thread was mentioned on the iGAMI site because it is relevant to the recent, yes again recent case. I can’t speak for any of the other posters but I can sincerely say for me personally this has absolutely nothing to do with revenge or jealousy and everything to do with establishing a history of incidences and simply put to distinguish between right and wrong.
Quite frankly, I personally think it is complete nonsense to suggest that obvious unethical behaviors are being reported because people are jealous. To imply that it serves absolutely no purpose other than to redirect the focus and to discredit those who have reported the wrong doing(s). Further regarding that concept, it shouldn’t matter why something is being reported – if those items which are being reported are found to be true and unethical, the report alone should have inherent merit which in no way justifies ridicule of the reporter(s).
But hey, go ahead and shovel this dirt under the rug, redirect the focus. Sadly, that has always been common place in this sector of the industry; nothing has changed in that respect and until people start “collectively” thinking and behaving in an “openly” ethical manner nothing ever will.
