Dear TimsPhone,
We would like to inform that in a previous email of warning sent on the may 12th, we had outlined the security policy as well as point out the fact that you had violated our policy by committing the act of bum hunting. After the email of warning was sent; we had investigated the gameplay records of 'TimsPhone' after you had checked our email. However, when we had investigated your records, we had found that you had ignored our warning to recommit the act of bum hunting and Predatory Behavior. As such, in accordance with the policy that we had outlined in our previous email, we will proceed to permanently lock your account. In addition, the balance that was locked in the table that you had unfairly profited from will be confiscated. The amount that was confiscated due to bumhunting will be distributed to the users who were adversely affected by your actions as compensation.
We would like to inform you that you are no longer welcome to play on our network. If we discover that the corresponding user returned to sign-up and play on our network, then we will proceed to permanently lock and confiscate the funds of the user in accordance with our security protocol. We, at GGNetwork Security, are continuously striving to ensure a fair and safe environment for all our players.

Dear Security Team,
Can you give me some more details of the incident?
Because I did NOT bum hunt and trust me, most people on your network do. If you look at my history I played everyone who joined my table, was always opening new tables and trying to create action. During the time I was playing I started pretty much every table, again, check the records. Please give me the exact time and the players I was playing against and how my behavior was "bumhunty/predatory".
As I stated above, I was one of the few people who were willing to start new tables at 5/10 & 10/20 and play everyone who joined, without me I am pretty sure there is going to be a somewhat significant change in traffic on those stakes, please keep that in mind.
Also I would like to add that if you look at the game histories, I was not only always the first player to join the table, I was also ALWAYS the last player who left the table (unless I stopped my session).
This is very easy to look up. While every player from the Ukraine, Malta and Croatia on your network actually DID engage in bumhunty and predatory behaviour (always instantly leaving the table as soon as the mark left) I never did.
And please look up how much traffic there was when I was playing and when I was not, I created a LOT of action and tables. (To clarify: I am only talking about 5/10 and 10/20 since those are the only stakes I am playing.)
I really hope we will be able to resolve this in another way.
Kind regards
Dear TimsPhone,
The security team applies the network rules to all players of the network fairly, and due to the fact that its disclosure would may be a possibility of circumvention or abuse of the investigation, we are not allowed to disclose the detailed information about the investigation and its process. Therefore, please understand that we are not allowed to share the detailed information about the investigation and evidences. We ask for your understanding and cooperation regarding this issue.
Upon reviewing your entire game records, we had confirmed that you had engaged in the act of bum hunting. We had verified that you had targeted a specific user from your game records, and have collected enough evidence to prove this. In addition, we have sufficiently concluded from your records that you had left the tables to either avoid playing against specific opponents or to join other tables to target preferred players. As such, based on the results of our investigation, we had decided to ban your account from our network due to your participation in the act of bum hunting. The balance that was locked in the table that you had unfairly profited from will be confiscated. Our decision on this case is final and it will not be overturned. If we discover that the corresponding user returned to sign-up and play on our network, then we will proceed to permanently lock and confiscate the funds of the user in accordance with our security protocol.

Dear GGNetwork Security team,
You claim I was bumhunting, targeting and avoiding certain players, yet you can't give me an example or name one instance. Why? Because I created a lot of action and played everyone, just look at my game history! The 5000$ you distributed to other players, which you can't even name, was won by playing according to your rules.
As I said before, I support your choice to punish people who bumhunt and make recreational players feel uneasy, but it does NOT apply to me. LOOK AT MY GAME HISTORY!
Please rethink your decision or else I will have no other choice than to go public.
I would really like to resolve this in another way. Please check my game history to verify that I never breached any rules.
Kind regards
