If a normal user says five insults on the forums in fifteen years, he is banned from the game forever.

BB-Alonso sends DMs to the Polish coach laughing what happened in the past, calls his players offensive names (that is not a simple joke) and go around the forums laughing at everyone, going unpunished for any crime. .

Where is the line between "inappropriates" attitudes or not?

I'm sure most of the BB staff laugh at all BB-Alonso's jokes, otherwise someone would have written something here or made a decision about it.

The recent discussion about some users in the forum has come to my attention.

I have politely asked Alonso to remove any Nazi references related to the mentioned player. Even if it was intended as a joke, it was inappropriate, and we strongly condemn any reference to Nazism.

We acknowledge the importance of educating future generations about World War II, the atrocities, crimes against humanity, and the Holocaust.

I want to emphasize that politics are ABSOLUTELY not allowed in BB. This is one of the first rules of the forum. We will not allow the BB Forums to become a place to attack any country, make accusations against any country or manager, or target any specific race or religion. BB is a basketball manager game, and there is no room for such behavior.

We are here because we enjoy basketball and management games, which have nothing to do with politics.

We will sanction those who disrupt the gaming experience for others, and I fully support any GM who takes action against such managers.

BuzzerBeater should be a game that unites people, not divides them.

Regarding Alonso's role: since I joined BB, he has approached me and helped me understand certain issues, primarily technical ones. He has also reported the current status of the game to me and made official announcements after receiving my approval.

We are currently very busy with the game's conversion, so we do not have the time to focus on all the day-to-day operations, which are handled by EGM, GMs, BB-Marin, and BB-Justin.

If we had to focus on these daily operations, we would have to pause the game's conversion and improvement, which would be detrimental to everyone.

I receive a lot of BB-mails and Discord DMs daily, and with all the work we have to do, it is nearly impossible to handle them. Most of these messages are game-related debates that should be addressed directly to the GMs, and I often lack the context to make the right decisions.

I hope this clarifies the matter once and for all. I wish everyone continues to enjoy BB for what it is—a wonderful basketball game that has entertained us for many years and will hopefully do so for many more to come!

Thank you, it was very frustrating to see a half-baked statement that did not address the real issue and have the conversation immediately censored from the forums. (Specially when the person we are talking about is a part of the moderation team)

This is the place for discussion you know... the game. Having to create an account with a third party service should not be a requirement to express our thoughts, as it excludes a big part of the community.

It's embarrassing.

Topic closed, topic opened, a few messages, topic renamed to "closed", the last few messages deleted and topic closed again, now topic reopened and old thread title and the messages back ...

My supporter has ended, after more than 10 years with the supporter I have made the decision NOT to RENEW, not because I lack the money or because I no longer see the use for it, but because I see the direction in which this beloved game is going.

I see what kind of people act on behalf of others without really knowing their role and ultimately a cheap excuse behind a painful speech without any apology from a shameful Alonso who once again with his message demonstrates the contempt he has for the community of ' BB' and each of its regions.

I'm sorry and I repeat after more than 10 years I WILL NOT RENEW my support until this member is put in the right place and the penalty is made public as it should be.
