    I THOUGHT it was only ONE Admin but I have recently noticed it says ,"Admin team," and they say "We and us." So, how many Admins are there on GF and what are their names? :)

    We added "Team" because too many of our members have incorrectly believed we are only 1 person, just like you have. However, if you go back to our earliest posts, we have always used plurals when referring to ourselves as we have always been a team.

    Unlike other forums, we never intended to have multiple accounts for multiple Admins here in order to present a united front in our administration which allows us to be more impartial and hands-off. We are currently a total of 5 Admins (this has changed over the last 5 years as some of our team members have come and gone over time) and we run multiple sites in multiple industries, including this one.

    We will never reveal any of our names or personally-identifiable information because we have been threatened with doxxing on multiple occasions in order to attempt to manipulate our administration of this site and violate our core principles. For example, the admin of another gambling forum posted this false attempt at doxxing us in order to pressure us into removing damaging information here posted by one of our members. For years, this admin falsely accused us of being behind the account that was complaining about him and for years he continued to falsely claim we were someone we are not. He eventually followed up with this apology regarding his false accusation that we were behind the account that was attacking him, but he remained steadfast with his false accusation that we were that "Michael" person (no person named "Michael" is affiliated with this site). To add insult to injury, he posted this false information all over the internet without ever providing any proof because none exists, and the only reason he did so was to attempt to pressure us into removing the posts damaging him (he offered that quid pro quo here, which we ignored).

    As a result of such attempts (and others) to manipulate us, we will never reveal personal information about us, so we will unfortunately not be revealing our names to ensure we can honor our core principles of "independent, comprehensive, uncensored". This also means we have no intention of becoming friendly or close with any of our members to ensure we remain impartial at all times.

    We are not here to make friends. We are here to provide the absolute best gambling forums in the world by providing our members exactly what they want, which is why we are so open to feedback at any time. We know full well that in order to have a successful site on the internet, you need to listen to your users and give them what they want. So this site and community isn't about us, it's about our users and what they make of it.

    So the admin team here is a bunch of anonymous people who are not in the gambling business and know nothing about it. If this is a free speech site and we obviously can't get banned for profanity, what can you get banned for around here. Certainly not rudeness, just about every other post is rude to somebody. I've never been on a forum where we didn't know who the owners are

    Not unhappy in the slightest, why would I be.
    And no I don't care what people think about
    me why would I. And all of my posts are
    irrelevant. Equally so. I strive for irrelevancy
    in every post. You have achieved it why can't
    everyone.

    Correct. However, we are very experienced in running forum communities.

    Firstly, our uncensored principle refers to gambling topics, as in no gambling topic will be censored here. It does not mean anything goes. For example, we do not allow spam or child pornography. Those are 2 examples of offenses that will get a member banned. But we do not ban lightly here since we consider banning a form of censorship. More details here.

    Keep in mind that in most cases, being rude is against our rule #1 (be respectful). However, we do not read the vast majority of posts on our site. So unless a member reports a rule-violating post to bring it to our attention, it is likely no action will be taken. If this happens enough, it may give the false impression that members are allowed to disrespect each other here when they are actually not. But for us to enforce a rule, we must be made aware of its violation. Every post on the site has a Report link at the bottom of it for members to report rule violations to us.

    We strongly believe that such anonymity provides the best opportunity for impartial moderation of a site for the reasons previously stated above.
