Yea as much as ive tried to stay out of this conversation , I have to agree 100% that SpamBam absolutely knew what he was doing its a no brainer.

Gcat keylogs Gtakin on his phone with a fishing email , well planned and lucky notice the similar name gcat.

Gears are posted on the "other site" just a few hours later and sold very quickly to SpamBam at a drastically reduced price from a 2-3 day old 2016 user.

The gears were still hot on the frying pan barely a few hours old , um yea sounds very legit at that price and from that user.

News gets out and SpamBam and all the stolen melee gears are banned from ANY gm melee events and melee guilds including mine.

Few days later Spambam now wants to participate on ugml and melee events and offers to give back all the stolen melee items to Scott(Gtakin)

I believe this when I see it and go from there , enough said

Hello all,

I have been working to get into the melee scene and recently decided to sign up for the UGML in an effort to engage in fun, good-mannered dueling on a nostalgic game that I've revisited many times through the years. During this iteration of JSP, which started around March for me, I have encountered several helpful individuals who have made my stay enjoyable. There have not been many who contributed to an overall negative experience, however among those that have, "Toughguy_TJ" is undoubtedly the worst offender. I have witnessed countless rude, unsolicited spam or general vulgarity on multiple user's posts, both paid and otherwise. This user has reminded me of my disdain for some parts of the JSP community.

This would be inconsequential if I could merely ignore/avoid him as I have been doing, (I have blocked him messaging me as well due to harrassment) however it was much to my dismay to discover that "Toughguy_TJ" holds a prominent role in the GM Melee community. It seems hypocritical to me that he would be stating platitudes regarding the requirements for good-mannered individuals in the melee community, when he himself embodies the exact opposite of what he is describing.

While I am not privy to the controversy surrounding SpamBam, one thing remains clear to me: I will not participate in a community where one of the prominent figureheads holds no qualms about blatantly disrespecting his peers and the JSP community as a whole. "Toughguy_TJ" has cost the melee community at least one new member today. I will be rescinding my application to the UGML.

I'm sure many will not read my post, and many of those who do won't care about my decision, but I hope that the community as a whole uses this as an opportunity to see that while the number of participants has certainly dwindled due to the age of the game, it is quite possible that more people who were eager to join decided against it after witnessing the actions of their would-be peers.

Good luck.

Application cancelled

Fuck you TJ. Delete yourself.

You're correct I am vulgar and I spam.

I repent.

Get thicker skin.

poeple scam, spambam didn't. get thicker skin.

Not worth arguing with you.

I'm glad we got to hear your viewpoint on all this.

Holy moly, quit spamming the thread. Tj and mainframe are correct here. If you have a problem with it, pm the ladder admin or the melee guild leaders. And tj, i eanna publicly apologize for the post about jay. Didn't mean to call you out over that.

I am at work for a few more hours, the leaders are right this has no business being discussed here. I will make a post when I get home but my honest opinion is this should have been able to have stayed between me and Gtakin. I think trying to strong arm the situation was wrong but it doesn't belong here. Last thing I want to do is hurt this community. Melee has been my home since I was a founding member of Lokiar and BJs guild melee. I will make a post soon and we can discuss this there.

whats the point of it if they can just hack into your account and delete your character?
