    Larry plays the part of a Jew when he isn't really one. He just does things to garner attention to himself. He's a gutless punk assed mother fucker.

    Good points and bad points with no modding.

    With no modding going on, one thing is for sure.....having any kind of CIVIL conversation is almost nil. So if you vote NO, dont be upset the next time your thread/post gets attacked. (Hey, even with mods, the posters may still be attacked ;) ;) ;)

    The problem, as I see it, is that if some kind of moderation is put on, then the person(s) purporting to putting up professional gambling systems cannot be analyzed with tough scrutiny. If those persons can't take the heat of those that will call him/her a quack, and defend themselves and their gambling systems, taking all that heat from people that would call them asshole ignorants, if that person is that much of a pussy, and can't defend his/her self in lively debate, then that person gambling system is a piece of shit.

    Don't ever announce to me that no one can attack my ideas or attack me personally because of it. I know what the hell I'm doing in gambling. I can take the flak of the public that doesn't believe what I do. Getting beat up in the forums and continuing to do what I do best, machine play for a living, is routine to me.

    I know I'm a one of a kind. There but for the grace of God go I.

    Instead of calm rational discussion, here are kids like mrv and boz with no knowledge, just trolls behind keyboards. This isnt a forum, its an unmoderated mess.

    I'm a professional player. I've seen the allowed behavior here. I'd never contribute here.

    I'm an adult and can handle rational discussion. But I have no time for people whose entertainment is trolling. Wake up admin. Unmoderated gets nowhere but a place for the wov rejects. If you take advice from nitwits, thats all you have here. For now, what you allow is a disgrace and so are the members.

    Folks, thanks for your input so far.

    To be clear, we aren't looking to discipline users (e.g. with temporary bans) for being disrespectful.

    The middle-ground solution we're considering is simply moving any post that's disrespectful to a special designated section so that the public face of the site is clean and discussions can stay on-topic and informative.

    So, for example, if Mickey goes on one of his infamous rants in the "What is an AP Play?" thread, we would just move those posts to the special designated section. We wouldn't temp-ban Mickey, we wouldn't close the thread, we wouldn't delete his rant, and anyone would be able to continue and/or respond to his rant in the special designated section.

    Consider the fact that allowing insults in threads tends to start flame wars that completely derail threads by making them go completely off-topic, in addition to making the site unappealing to the mass market. We usually move such off-topic posts to the off-topic section where they belong, but then our clever members started including on-topic information in their insulting posts to keep their insults in the main threads. This would solve that by moving any and all insults/disrespectful posts to the new designated section. No bans, no sanctions, just keeping the main site clean and threads on-topic.

    This wouldn't be a slippery slope as it was our Rule #1 that's been in place since the beginning. If anything, we're trying to find a looser way of enforcing it than we did at the beginning, so we're just trying to find a solution that works for everyone and makes our site more attractive to folks who don't enjoy flame wars while making room for incredibly knowledgeable and experienced folks such as Mickey who do.

    Thoughts?

    sounds good...and what about offensive screen names and or avatar and or sig,,,might as well make the rule consistent to those items as well. or else someone instead of writing wizard of nothings is a dick in the body of text.....will just have a screename wonisAdick
    the newly enforced rules would end most activity in the lounge...but that fine.
    I have no problem with that.

    I wonder what profession you belong to?
    I think you must be a professional in the same vein as the professional house sitter, the professional walmart security guard, and the professional toilet cleaner.
    A drug addict child molester living in a crack den can proclaim they are a "professional" gambler.....and there is absolutely no governing body to prove him wrong. He can be your "professional" brother.

    maybe some people in your profession, like the crack addict, or convicted murderer in prison who made their living gambling... like the site the way it is.
    Maybe the homeless who over run cities all over the country are also professionals in that context.

    And that's just exactly what the corner crack salesmen on East Fremont told the cops when they got busted. They had their pockets stuffed with ten and twenty dollar bills. So when the cops asked them what they did for a living they all answered "I'm a professional gambler."

    Just imagine, a rich debutante introducing her new boyfriend to her country club parents ......after telling them that she has been dating quite a "professional".......in walks a guy with oozing cold sores on his mouth, needle marks up and down both arms, urine soaked pants, his eyes glazed over.......
    Parents scream..I thought you said he was a professional?
    Daughter replies...yes mumsy..he is.....he is a professional gambler.

    Trolls will still get their message read, so why would they change? All you'll do is create work for yourself, especially with the present level of intellect here.

    The problem isn't language and attacks. It's the intentions of trolls, who find a way to sidestep rules for childish amusement and push away knowledgeable members. That’s why as far as I see, knowledgeable members didn't stay long. All that's left is the rejects from other forums who can't beat casinos themselves. So they troll and act knowledgeable.

    The lounge wont help. You don't put kids in a room to fight and expect to solve the problem.

    The better forums share common rules. No good forum would allow even half of the garbage here, which is why you're attracting only rejects.

    The responses here prove my point. I earn six figures with advantage play, and consult for European casinos. Prior I was a floor manager for 6 years and worked in surveillance rooms. I don't think your name calling changes it. Best of luck.
