  • It's truly amazing

    It truly amazing the mods shut down two threads with no controversy involved when other theads are allowed to continue well past their usefullness.

    Wayne and Monte it is beyond belief that the other thread was closed. Why? It was fair opened discussion. leadhand post raised some valid points. Why can useless post after useless post be started asking the whereabouts of other members? Yet, those remain open.

    In that thread Monte stated "One of the reasons people enjoy this site so much is, because of the commadre on here which is a result of the posters and balance that's kept."

    I guess balance only applies when Monte see fit. Once a member disagrees with a mod the thread gets closed or worse the member gets banned.

    Monte you also stated "First of all the server is closed down for un-registered users on the weekend. I don't know why there is still problems, but I will be loooking into it." I don't know the distinction between un-registered and guests. I also don't know when you implemented those changes. Until a few weeks ago on weekends I often checked the Currently Active. During crunch time on weekends it was often approx a 60/40 split. Members representing the 60%.

    Your choice to moderate these threads is a curious one. It seems more like censorship than moderating.

    I'm certain this thread will be closed. Quickly! Monte let other members have their say in this matter. Let them decide if the thread should be closed. Don't close a thread solely because you disagree with the content. If you do, then why don't you close every thread when you disagree with another members selection. If anything leave it open and move it to the Non-Gambling Issues forum.


    This is my final word regarding this situation. As a show of respect you'll get the final word. Not that I had a choice anyway. I won't be starting anymore threads pertaining to this topic.

    It's because all these threads lately are being created by "Newbies" and some have matching IP's if you get my drift. Frank i like you and have had many a talk with you but i think your wrong here. I see you still here alot and i know you like this site. The problems here are dealt with as they arise. They are not always done in the manner you like but they are dealt with and sometimes behind the scene. It's the internet and you can only babysit so much. At times things will be missed, it's human nature.

        frank i also see 5,742 members as of right now. I think were doing a damn good job if only a handful are upset. Those are pretty good odds in our favor and we do our best to keep everyone happy but at times when people are on opposite sides you can't make them all happy.

          Monte please respond via email why the thread was closed. You have my email address. Otherwise, I will email you later or tomorrow. Thanks!

          Wayne, I agree. Most members are happy members. I also know a decent amount of members that no longer post because the BS is allowed to go on too long. I also realize often you and Monte are in a difficult situation. If you close a thread a new one is started. If you ban a member that member creates a new ID. The second reason is the biggest reason to have two levels of membership. Paid and free. Paid members get more privileges. I think the members that truly care about this site would be willing to pay. I know I would. It'll weed out the members with multiple IDs and members with little or no contribution.

                Let's give it a shot. If it doesn't work out Monte can send email to members that decided not to join that the forum is once again free.

                OR

                Create a poll. Leave it up thru the weekend. Let the members decide.

                    Well, his name is Diesel

                    is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'"
