Many mods are not fans of folks using the DBR to make wagers, but if wagers are made, we expect our members to act honorably. We cannot allow welching and dishonesty to pervade our community. Seeing as we do not have the power to force Troublemaker to pay off this bet, he has been permanently banned from the DBR. You will never see him on any DBR boards again including the EK page.
I am sorry this was made public, but I wanted to see if there were multiple members of the community who had been wronged and this was the most efficient way to find out who had made bets with him. The mod community needed to know the full story before we took action. Troublemaker made it clear that he would rather leave the community than pay off the bet so we have given him his wish.
I am sorry that this distracted so many of you and am sorry that we lost a longtime member of the community, but honesty matters.
Just shows that brilliant "X's and O's" guys are not necessarily brilliant "X" guys.
