Why is this thread not joining


That's not the solution either - hiding every thread that draws controversy. The will of the people is being suppressed, and even discussion about hidden threads is being hidden. Any thread that draws responses or traffic should appear wherever it should - there should be no censorship.

The Wizard himself has proposed more than once the novel concept of "not reading" something you don't like - apparently WOV decided that the people can't decide for themselves what to read or not read and is censoring material.

this is not censorship - you as an attorney should know that

if James Grosjean approaches the New York Times and asks to write an article about his gambling exploits the Times might well accept such an article as Grosjean is well known and accepted as a legendary gambler with great skill

if EB approaches the Times with the same offer they will decline

that's not censorship.................it's called 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

just as the Times has a right to print what it chooses to so does WOV have a right to display or not to display what it chooses and where it chooses

there's no difference at all

Well, I believe it is censorship in the spirit of "banned books" and Communist party censorship including of the internet, although true, the content is not being prohibited but rather suppressed.

And given that only popular threads are censored, that does come down exactly to censorship. If a controversial threads draws no interest, WOV doesn't hide it.

Censorship doesn't have to infringe free speech. Censorship means - prohibition OR suppression.

Anyway, this is a private forum so yes there is no constitutionally recognized right to free speech. But still, a forum consists of people and when the will of the people is being suppressed it ceases to be representative of the people who make up the forum.


In sum: any WOV controversial thread that draws traffic is up for being hidden, and this is happening almost daily lately.

Censorship is the suppression of information.

That's what's happening here with the hidden threads.

Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies.

Censorship can become a free speech issue if conducted by government.

But it's funny how nobody mentioned "freedom of speech" until you just did.

Which attorney are you referring to above?

Subjects controversial because they go against the grain of this math oriented forum are being suppressed and that is a big difference.

I have posted controversial matters, such as the NY AP thread and those were not suppressed. In fact when one mod, BBB did try to shut it down she was overruled.

The controversy there wasn't truthfulness of the claims but feelings of confidential secrets of AP being described.

The bottom line. WOV has positioned itself as a source of "reliable" gambling information and threads that support winning by "skill at watching the Roulette ball enough to know what it's going to land on next" are bad for the gullible public who land here looking for guidance.

So your entire winning method is educated guesses based on your skill and practice. Yet with years and years of skill and practice, you still choose to win nothing more than a hiccup.

DarkOz goes off on his own tangents. I hadn't even read his post when I interjected the reality of that freedom of speech isn't what is at issue here. Although, interestingly, this is how the Wizard broached the matter:

Forum administrators may hide threads that don't convey our goal to improve the player's odds in the casino. At conflict with that is our respect of free speech. As a happy medium, we hide threads we wish did not exist, but don't break any specific forum rules.

[I had to hyperlink to the post because as coming from a closed thread I could not quote the post.]

But censorship is exactly what is happening. I had a thread about celebrities in casinos where one topic that was discussed was whether or not a hockey team had appeared at a casino, and it was hidden. The issue there was just (1) controversy, (2) traffic. Evidently, meet both (1) and (2) criteria and a thread may be hidden.

Technically it's being hidden like an Easter Egg on the site. Your MDawg thread can still be accessed for those that wish to look.

The thread has not been closed and discourse can still occur.

It simply isn't being actively promoted on the front page of threads.

It's not the same as the library banning a book. It's more like the library put your book in a back section which requires readers to take a few extra steps.

Or a better example, your MDawg TV show with all the ratings at 8pm has now been moved to the 3am slot.

That's not the definition of censorship in my opinion

Come on DarkOz, it's more like putting the book in the back, and removing it from the card catalog (or electronic equivalent) so that no one may find it unless he already knows it is there.

That is suppression. You must know that the definition of censorship is prohibition OR suppression.


Even banned books do not cease to exist, they are merely banned and hence both prohibited and suppressed.

There are thousands of threads on this forum.

That don't appear on the front page!

Your definition of censorship or freedom of speech isn't pertinent because of that. Your real complaint is that it's not visible right away regardless of traffic

Otherwise, it's ability to be seen is no different than thousands of other threads on here and can be accessed in all the same manners

That's not the definition of suppression or censorship.

Hey, DeMango! I used a couple of your lines, recently, on a different forum.

I'm sorry, but I won't publish this secret ingredient. It wasn't my system that I was analysing, by the way.

On an unrelated note. I understand that some in this thread have some good recipes (we've seen the food pics) AND winning methods (We haven't seen those). They keep secrets too. But they can't resist telling us how well their methods work. Read into that what you will.

ps. I have a pet unicorn called Gerald.
He eats carrots and boiled eggs. I can post some photos of the half eaten carrots and empty eggshells, if you don't believe me.

why on earth would anyone want to reveal a winning secret??? to appease a gambling site, OD??
All persons reading my posts gamble at their own risk, as I do. I don't ordinarily dispute math. I may dispute math I don't understand, or if I think it's faulty. I am not a conspiracy theorist.
