At the moment I favor leaving things as they are. It seems to me that the betting system threads tend to be among the most popular topics. As an example, the 98steps challenge thread. As has been noted, if the topic doesn't interest you, then don't visit those threads.

About dice setting, please make a separate thread for that, or post to one of the many existing threads about it.

It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Perhaps a better solution is the development of the option for each user to customize which discussions will appear on their "recent" list. That way you can take or leave whatever interests you.

As for the betting systems threads, I don't mind them, but I don't read all of them either. I suppose the folks who are interested in them could say the same about the "game design" thread. It's a tough call to decide for everyone. It may be better to err on the side of too many displayed than not enough.

I don't get the rationale. Yes, betting system are useless, but it does not necessarily make them uninteresting. There are many interesting things that are pretty useless. Gambling is one of them.

I have to agree on this one. I like hearing about some of them so if the topic comes up I can at least discuss it. For good to warn people why they will not work. For bad to let someone think they are explining they just discovered gravity when I know I have been stuck to the ground for years.
