The forum was disrupted last night & spammed with offensive images & threads, I also received two insulting pm's & some distasteful photos.
I had to write this to clarify my position..
I advise other members to check their pms
I joined vls 6 months ago because I liked the spirit.
The forum is well run & moderated & members are very helpful & supportive.
A lot of members have recently closed accounts & relinquished positions & that's unfortunate.
Ive also seen many personal attacks directed at vls members on other sites & its nothing to do with me but its very disturbing to observe how many participate or gleefully report on events.
What happened to sharing & developing ideas on roulette ? It's very unproductive !
Forestor . . . . was it necessary to behave in that manner?
can you & others keep your issues personal without demeaning the work of the contributors & focus on roulette instead of some phantom enemy or would you prefer me to get involved & forward those images to your web page?
I & many more are not part of some foolish conspiracy or faction & I will happily play a role in maintaining the forums standards & principles ... so in this case you are wrong & have failed & its crystal clear to all that I made the correct decision to join vls.
Thank you forestor etc etc for your contributions... I wish you well.
Thanks to the moderators for their quick response.
Thank you Element, for a most noble posting.
I too wish Forrester etc etc well.
IMO the casino industry has been and is trying to disrupt productive forums. Heaven forbid we find the Holy Grail.
I disagree.. If the holy grail existed it could easily be shared in a private elitist forum & it would make no difference because no roulette idea can remain uncovered.
That's why roulette appeals to me.. The most absurd claims or secrets are not exclusive as most bets can be simplified & demystified & the casino is the most reliable witness to confirm or disprove its effectiveness.
I think gambling institutions benefit from open, constructive & productive forums.
It's well known that casinos have a history of headhunting & employing former players , counters & even cheats to protect their profits,gauge social trends & improve their games & security measures etc etc
winners also inspire new gamblers & encourage losers to work harder & so all roads lead to the same destination.
I'm a musician & I wouldn't hesitate to join a music forum but I & many were very reluctant to join or even recommend a gambling forum.
I have witnessed the most shameful & bizzare behaviour on gambling forums.
people simply take a break or migrate but some characters really try to make an impact & even after departing cannot positively move on.
Ive been studying the archives & its evident that this negative behaviour poisons & paralyzes forums.
good posts element
IMHO Stronger moderation is needed. We don't need any disrupter here nor anywhere else.
I checked his own forum to see what it was all about. Apparently he wanted to have his profile deleted. Instead of just stop posting he decided to make trouble by making his profile and password public.
I don`t know what it is with people and forums these days, if one is a bit immature or childish why the hell go all public about it ?
Personal account details publication in no way relinquishes the account holder's responsibilities.
By his recent behavior Forester showed his true colours to everyone.
As too did all those lost souls who joined in the fray... you know who you are... and so do I. :give_heart:
