Completely disagree!!!


Thats not how a forum should work, so if someone disagrees with the thread starter then he can just delete the posts,LOL thats stupid.

Because trhis forum earlier had a lot of disruptive elements it was decided to go that way which I kind of agree with until someone has huge wraps on himself or method he using like in another thread that is hot at the moment

The idea was if some naysayers were to start their own threads refuting claims on another

I agree with the option to delete posts.
It keeps it constructive.
If you disagree with something just ignore it.

All it makes for is speeches and one sided conversations. Who needs that.

I don't like using the word stupid, but stupid is what this rule is, clearly the vast majority agree. There are enough moderators of this forum now to invade a small country, it's them who should look after the threads not the thread starter. This is how the BS and scams are allowed to become overwhelming.

This rule seriously needs to be reversed immediately....unless this form aspires to be scam central and a haven for cyberwhackjobs.

"I agree with the option to delete posts.

Six.

This being looked at since Yesterday in the Mods Area where We discuss everything.
We will decide shortly.

I will do a Couple of Topics so that The posts from these two Guys can,t be deleted by Them.
Only the Mods will be able to removed.

Hang on 5 Mins Mate.

All I think is that people should accept criticism as part of the forum experience, learn to take it on the chin and from there explain why the criticism is wrong or inaccurate, whatever - that is how you get production. Not one thread v another. People need to stop crying about negativity and all that. How are you supposed to get the respect of your peers if you start weeping when someone offers you a challenge? I posted a curt observation of why you can't beat roulette with probability in viper5's thread and he deleted it. It was on topic, it was true and it was removed. Spike is right, all you end up with is pointless threads in which people are glorifying themselves. Where is the discussion?

"accept criticism" >>> I have no problem accepting it, its part of message boards BUT what about the posters starting trouble, calling people foul names etc.?  Ken

It should be up to the mods to keep the threads in order and delete abusive posts. Isn't that what they are there for? People lose it sometimes, and that is part of life. You can't eradicate it. Here they get warned, then banned.

Sixer

I do agree with you to a point what annoys me about negativity someone will post a strategy and automatically weill get jumped on and the usual crap come out like it wont work nothing works  no explanation just nothing works same ole same ole we need constructive criticism or people will no longer post their ideas for the fear of getting shot down and abused just for the sake of putting ideas down but we not want go other way either

It a tight path the mods have but I would still leave it up to the mods judgement even they get critised for too much censorship as well in lots of cases no one wins

But also another thing is the outrageous claims people have with no evidence of type of bet selection i will give you clues all you need to do is decypher it it all there in coder lol one thread is already ove 8 pages long if you remember one went for over 30 pages of nothing and the we had winwithmath was another

Report them to moderator, that's what is supposed to be done.



In the end, I think members should not be given the power to silence other members, just doesn't seem right.

If every naysayer were to start a new topic to express his or her dissent, the forum would become far messier than it is now.

There will always be conflicts and disagreements; sweeping them all under the carpet will never resolve anything, and will eventually wreck the carpet too.

The problem about this is that very little DOES actually work. If someone says "It doesn't work and here is why...." That is fair enough, then the other party should explain why they think is DOES work, instead of just being able to delete the post. People should substantiate their claims and backup their ideas with theory and fact, otherwise, yeah, it's just an endless chain of hypercriticism and crying.

The people who post clues, like stevetracker, should certainly be dealt with. This is unacceptable, pointless and counterproductive.

Here You Go People.

Now the Global Moderators and the Admins will control these 2 Topics....as they Should.

Thank you, guys, for voting & replying! :thumbsup:

Basically, I'm also afraid that the new "member = moderator" policy will cause more pain than good.
IMHO, it already does. The fact that most of the members do not like it is another important signal.

Anyways, it's admins team decision, I personally respect all of 'em & their decisions... so, good luck! :good:
