    Update Nov 25, 2021: Username changed to "beachwhale"

    ---

    Hello Folks,

    We've received too many reports about member "Beached Whales Clitoris" and their offensive username and liking of virtually every post they read.

    We want to have a more professional community that is appealing to the greatest number of people, so we have changed their username to "BWC" so that it is no longer offensive to readers.

    Upon analyzing @BWC's Likes after receiving multiple reports about them, we also noticed that BWC has a completely disproportionate number of likes given (over 14,000 likes given, but only 59 received) which is equivalent to almost 40% of all Likes given on our entire site. So we have also removed this member's ability to Like posts for the time being. Furthermore, we will be undoing all the Likes member BWC has given like we did in the previous Likes abuse with a different member, so this will lower a lot of members' Like count since those were artificially inflated by member BWC's 14,000+ Likes.

    To be clear, BWC's ability to post at GF and share their opinion has not been altered and they are free to express themselves as they wish within our rules.

    We are reworking the Likes system in light of abuses such as this one and other ones. The free-for-all Likes system the was set by default on our site clearly has too many loopholes which allow for abuse and distort the true quality of content and members, so we will be brainstorming a better solution and will announce it when it's ready. Please note that since this previous abuse by a different member, new members have not been allowed to Like posts, but we are working on a less draconian solution that won't affect as many members.

    If there are any other member's with offensive usernames, or who are abusing the Likes system, or who are being egregiously unprofessional, then please let us know so that we can take appropriate corrective action.

    Remember, uncensored in our slogan does not mean you can say or do whatever you want here, the uncensored principle of our site refers to the fact that no gambling topic will be censored, which means all gambling topics can be discussed here since we are 100% independent and have no other interests in the gambling industry.

    We apologize to member BWC and also to the community for not having acted sooner and for allowing this to go on for so long that one member's likes given was approaching half of all likes given on the site.

    We would also like to thank those members that brought this issue to our attention.

    I have been here two weeks today and have almost 200 likes. Ridiculous and I complained about it to BWC. Glad to see you're dealing with the situation.

    You are truly pathetic !. I was one of the only guys( out of maybe 3-4) to look at the big picture when it came to your 100k posts. Most mocked laughed and put kick me signs on your back for being such a loser/dweeb. I read between the lines and appreciated some of your eccentricity, even though your roulette talk is completely delusional. You had some very good posts and many decent posts over the years. You have lost ANY kind of respect I had for you. You are just a STOOLY now in my book. GROW UP and GROW A PAIR !

    This also completely solidifies, why you've never posted at VCT all theses years. With your EXTREME forum addiction, this is the only legitimate answer. You are too much of a pansy, to take the heat over there. You cant handle forums with no moderation. Just like cowards SOOPOOP, RDW4POTUS. Real girly boys !

    LOLOLOL I posted on GG for five years and was the top poster with over 20,000 posts. And you're telling me I can't handle unmoderated forums? Are you insane, I thrive on unmoderated forums. Why do you think so many people don't like me, it's because of my posts on GG. You people think you can get under my skin? It's been tried by the best and nobody ever has. But I'm here to talk about roulette, I don't play those childish GG games anymore.

    You cry to the admin and bitch and moan to the forum several times about Beached Whale liking all your posts( wahhhh!) How is that not being an ultimate thin skinned fairy? We all know how much you liked and suckholed to BBB back in the day. That was part of the complaint, along with being a wuss. You are weak.

    There's not much differentiating you and Stooly DeMango/ House of Orange now. The only small difference is he was a complete junk one line poster who contributed near nothing. Both forum rats !

    Now that beached whale clitiros has been effectively shaved and bleached and is now known as that porn abbreviation of BWC = big white cock
    Or
    BWC = black wide cock
    Or
    BWC = bitch with cock ( strapadicktome)
    Yes you chose the meaning, nice , all perversions accounted for.
    Personally I liked the original.

    As this is the new admin directive yeh I’m going to have to roll with it. Their forum, their rules. Excellent example of the mommy / daddy said no thread and my adherence to the edict.

    But
    Yes always a butt somewhere,
    There are far more invasive, corrosive posts and POSTERS on this forum. We all managed to get by , along or ignore. By pandering to a few complaints ( I have no idea of actual numbers and I understand I’m talking through my arse here ) over a trivial matter as per being liked. Good thing there is no dislike button or your post is emoji shit button imagine the children running to momma in tears then. I actually wish there was a turdalicous emoji as some posts are just inane crap. And what a better way to be impersonal than by posting a turdalicious emoji , no need for swearing, degrading posts of written hostility between any number of posters.

    I fully accept many of my posts would be entitled to a turdalicious emoji, lol.

    It is an opinion when you decide to like a post. Maybe big white cock actually liked the posts he liked ...I noticed threads he has not liked all posts and left blank.

    If one was offended by being liked one should contemplate one’s motives for posting in the first place. Are you the complaining poster ( insert your name here) actually posting to be disrespectful, disruptive, or your taking the piss out of the forum by your smarmy posts ? If so why can’t someone like your post because they see you are on the piss take of everything, everyone this forum and they put you on the piss take by liking your post, therefore taking the piss out of you ( insert your name here)

    Time to put the big boy pants on now princesses.

    I understand the initial response to Stephen and his thread plus his sock puppetry saga. (Shame Nate didn’t get to out him lol. ) and I appreciate the actions taken by admin on such occasions in the past and setting a precedent in the future.

    But
    Lol
    But BWC, in all porn connotations possible/ probable ( for the mathtopian) has hardly diverted from his mottos operande since day one. Has no sock puppetry (as you admin would have looked into by now I’m sure) to skewer the argument of one party against another aka Stephen trabone ruling. His likes are a
    “Independent action of one poster” not carrying or soliciting favours for or against anyone, not for BWC , and I use capital letters as a mark of respect for the biggest baddest bear shitting in the woods , own personal enhancement.

    So for mine I think the potential judgment call is unwarranted and is just a storm in a urinal splashing on someone’s toes, wear shoes to the toilet for Christ sake if your that sensitive.

    I also understand the Stephen edict has impacted on new members and long standing members that have not posted much over the years, this is an unfortunate situation and actually needs to be corrected more so than a blanket ban on BWC, any porn flavour, the feature of this forum is being able to like a post . To like a post for whatever reason that is be known unto the poster liking the post only. The beauty of the like button was a simple acknowledgment from one to another

    “ Without having to justify a reason as to WHY one likes it” hopefully no other posters are offended by the reason you liked a post.
    No “it’s a like button”
    , not a reason why like button, not a category 1,2,3,4,5 or more sliding scale like button so other posters/readers from the vast silent majority here this very forum will not be offended by you , the unique individual for whatever reason thought that particular or lot’s , in this case, lol , of posts had a particular resonance to.

    On a case by case basis imho heavy handed and unwarranted.

    If this forum desires more active participation from its long standing members read silent majority, then maybe admin needs to work that particular puzzle out . It’s better to enhance the services to already existing clients than to pander to potential new business clients that may only be fleeting in its participation , their past posting performance on another dying forum may not equate to the same volume here this forum, before riggo sets in (death from old age ) .
    Storm in a urinal people. Cheers

    Hi Folks, there seems to be some confusion that member Spike is the only one that had a problem with this issue. They are not as we've had multiple reports from multiple members about this issue, including from Founding Members who are our oldest members. The most recent report which was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, was not from member Spike. Members may not be complaining about this issue publicly in order to avoid backlash, but they are certainly complaining to us privately about it.

    Remember that our objective here is to grow the site, so our interests are always with the community as a whole, and not any individual member.

    If a casual readers googles a gambling topic and our site comes up and they click to read and see an offensive username, they are likely to be off-put by that and leave. When that offensive username is spread around 14,000 other posts via Likes, the impact is even more significant.

    If the Likes system is abused, then it does a worse job of reflecting the quality of members, which also negatively impacts our community.

    This is a very difficult puzzle because to grow a site you need your current members to continue participating (which means you can't make too many changes), but you also need new members to join to add to the discussions (which means you need to make some changes to attract more members). So it's a fine balance where sometimes the actions to cater to one group has a negative impact on the other group, and we are fully cognizant of that and try to be as careful as possible with our actions and changes in order to not tilt the scales too much in one direction.

    We want to be clear that we support free speech that is respectful. We want a high level of discourse on GF which is why the #1 rule here is "Be Respectful". Since we don't read the majority of posts, we understand that some members break the rules and can get away with them when no one reports their rule-breaking posts and that this can lead to the perception that anything goes here, but that does not actually mean the rules have changed.

    We also want to be a professional site where even highly experienced gamblers can feel comfortable participating here. Usernames with curse words that appear in 14,000 posts hurts our ability to attempt to achieve that. It also hurts our ability to attract female readers and members since females in general are more easily offended by offensive language. For example, we lost one of the few active female members here a while back because of how offensive the community was.

    In regards to the Likes, we want it to be able to reflect quality versus quantity, but if a member simply Likes every post that is made in a thread regardless of quality, then it opens up the entire system to abuse because any member that wants to increase their Like count simply has to post as often as possible in that thread and all their posts will automatically be Liked and their Like count will easily go up. This is contrary to the spirit of the Likes system, so this is why we are working on a better solution.

    Member BWC has asked to have input regarding their new username because they do not like "BWC", and we agree with that, so their username will be changing again once they've decided on their new username.

    Yes I understand now thanks, the major problem was the username as ultimately being unsatisfactory for public sensitivity the number of likes complaining was the catalyst to finally straighten the loophole up. I fully appreciate the fact BWC was essentially tagging as in graffiti sense of the term and commend his higher intellectual ability to bomb a site for so long.
    Banksi eat your heart out. Absolute rank amateur compared to THE BWC.

    I would also like to think administration will also address dubious other usernames this forum , may as well clean the whole pig pen out in one hit. If one doesn’t do a good cleaning job of the pen and don’t take my word for this but other people that have had any experience with piggeries will also tell that pig shit smell gets into every wrinkle and every orifice , it lingers.
    To be fair I don’t actually think member are chasing likes , from what I see members respond to threads of interest until they no longer post on that thread, then they post other threads or not at all for a time then they may repost at the original thread. I understand you are closing the potential loop hole on that also by the Stephen edict. Perhaps the trabone travesty would be more appropriate. Lol.

    As for the silent majority quandary, I do believe many are more than just casual casinoverse interverse forum hopers. Personally and I could be wrong but I think many ( silent majority members) read threads here on a daily basis . So the question is why are they not participating more than just reading?

    For mine , a simple way forward would be for you admin to actually ask the silent majority members what /why is their reluctance to post. You could invite them to post to you directly as “not on a public forum” with possible reasons . By silent majority I mean members that are not the random guest poker, blackjack inane one-off postser we get here daily ( that’s more of a blight than exuberant likes by a possible politically incorrect username imho)

    Im sure you have our email address and username that are logging on etc and I assume it’s easy enough to generate a generic poll/ questions and send to those members that have not posted in say the last six months. I see your in the 6000 mark (give or take ) of members I would estimate at least 5000 have not posted in a year at least. This is your client base , ask them the non poster what they want or don’t want. Of the 6000 you may get a reply of around 5-10 % tops and 2% bottom margin. At least you’re may be a step closer to figuring out the puzzle. Good luck.

    I was a king of that f****** place
    Thank you. What was happening rendered the entire like system useless and meaningless. I don't want a bunch of likes I don't deserve. Why would anybody. It's like in grade schools now they give kids awards for just showing up. So at home they have a bunch of ribbons and awards that are totally meaningless. Everybody got them, big deal.

    BJTF had likes and dislikes. It turned into a damn congeniality contest.

    Blackjack is about winning or losing. When you sit down and slide your quarter into the circle? It doesn't mean a tinkers damn who likes and dislikes you.

    Spike, out of curiosity. What state in the Midwest are you from?
