Can you just be civilized and truthful? There's a reason you always end up in the same situations. You know why I said don't steal the pictures. Grown men don't do the things you do.
I know you're not used to being held accountable, but lets review:
1) " I am not the ChipGuide on PCF " You PM someone with Identifying information, then you text them on the phone with the same information. You are chip guide on PCF. proven 100% fact. You know exactly what I am talking about here and I will not publicly say who you communicated with but they can feel free to join the convo. But I assure you I have seen and have the empirical evidence showing the truth as I told you when you lied before.
2) You come to PokerChipper, sign up as "JimmyR, James Renner, steal Oscars Picture of the oceanside $5, submit it in the chip guide as James Renner, you manipulate the data so that it doesn't show up as a new entry in peoples' notifications., you're asked how the picture got submitted and you get uppity and say you will investigate. You make a production at chip board that you investigated and the picture was removed. Did you investigate yourself? Did you scold yourself like you do to others when they post a picture from the chip guide without cite? (which I'm good with the polite request as you know)
3) The "JimmyR" account, which stated a location of Boston MA. was then banned for dishonesty, false identity, and swiping images without consent. The account signed up and on with an IP address of 67.80.45.214, then later, you sign up with your real name Charles Kaplan from the very same IP address. The PokerChipper security software threw a warning that your request was flagged for having the same IP address as JimmyR's banned account. I emailed you to your MOGH admin email to alert you of the flag and ask if you recognized the email used to sign up at Chipper, we have may security features in place to protect our users privacy and identity, you confirmed that it was indeed your personal email and was you signing up.
As we know how IP addresses work, they are registered specifically to the device used to sign in with ie. cell phone, laptop, PC Mac etc, and not form the ISP, or server, no 2 people can be on the internet with the same IP address, I knew you were being dishonest, I conferred with the PC.C board, and with some reluctance approved your request to join thinking that maybe you'd behave differently in our web community than in the past at other sites but here you are with the same confrontational attitude and playing some kind of victim. and try to show PokerChipper in some bad light saying that you thought this was a place to unite sets and singles folks. Well its been going fine here between the two communities. I can only surmise that you and a few others continue to try and poison the relationship between the two and I dont get why.
I explained to you at Chip Board in very certain terms that if you were dishonest in the future I would be there to hold you to account. You are on boards and in positions with the Guide, the club, the MOGH, wherever else which, as you state are owned and operated separately. Honestly most people don't know the difference as they are operated under an umbrella that connects them all by appearance. I would think that there is some code of conduct in place that addresses honesty, integrity and behavior detrimental to the hobby and the club etc. and yet you continue to behave badly. I gave you every benefit of being a good steward of the hobby etc. including joining this site, knowing you appear to be a less than honest person.
I am not going to ban your account, I think you could use this as a way to reflect and be a better steward of the hobby and all the other entities you represent going forward. I personally believe in the mission of the guide overall, my points are validated by many, sets and singles alike regarding honesty and accountability in the guide issues on pictures, use of pictures, hoard alerts placed on chips affecting values, etc. but am very uncomfortable knowing that you are involved in an administrative position given the chronic poor behavior you show.
As usual I'm sure this is where you will storm off like a victim and go radio silent, it's what you do, wait till you think it's forgotten or so far down the "tree" that no one knows, until the next time. wash, rinse, repeat. Many have reached out on different platforms and expressed concerns regarding your behavior, some even not wanting to voice it publicly so as to not have their account shut down at the guide in retribution, but I'm here to let you know, it's not just me, or the sets people Charles, it's a lot of folks, who, and rightfully so put up with you because in the end it's a hobby of collecting clay discs. With almost no exceptions I wouldn't do this publicly because the "power" I or regular people have is the same as any other person, none, except that you sir are in a position in the definitive organizations of the hobby, organizations that deal with things of real value,rare chip donations to MOGH etc, I've seen a few prominent members ask where donated chips go... is there inventory? Are the chips in a hot storage container? Are any of them in your ar anyone else's personal collections? Do you handle funds related to the MOGH? The Chip Guide? The CCA? All good questions when you have shown yourself to be less than honest and upright sir.
I believe you to be a security concern with the behavior you exhibit, claiming ownership of images and demanding cites etc. all while you yourself are taking images from several places and people and improperly publishing them under assumed identities. Is there a real James Renner? Have you stolen his identity? does he know you operate under his name? You realize identity theft is a crime right?
As in the past, I again call for your resignation from responsible positions in the CCA or affiliated entities as I simply don't believe you to be trustworthy or responsible or a good steward of the chipping hobby and these further incidences show that. I was asked in the past to file any complaint I had regarding you privately with the club and to not publicly "Shame" you. Public shaming is not this intention, rather it is of like a hoard warning to anyone involved in the hobby regarding dealing with you only I provide the evidence. A public apology for being dishonest while calling others dishonest would have sufficed in our chip board or PCF interactions, you know, own our mistakes? But you have no remorse for your behavior and should be removed from any leadership positions regardless of any good you've done for the club, guide, MOGH etc. because you simply, IMO, be trusted. You control data sources that affect real value of real collectors which can be manipulated to influence selling prices or to induce people to sell, would you then buy from them? These are all very obvious questions and they're being asked by more and more people including the ones who read threads like these and worry silently, or refuse to donate money or goods, or leave the hobby all together seeing the activities of leadership.
While we feel that chip collecting is a major hobby, its really a spec of dust in the world important to us folks who get enjoyment from it. But as an organization that carries a balance sheet with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and expenses I'd hate to think that you had any access to admin levels. Figure this out Charles, be a good person. Attached is the evidence I reference to any PC.C accounts, as for PCF, I don't speak to that, as I'm no longer a member there but you know exactly what went on there.
I wish you the best sir, but be responsible and honest.
