Hi All,

Let's forget Todays-News.
I can see, It is going to be difficult.

Thanks for all the Comments and Inputs.

What this forum would appreciate is your work to find a gambling related issue you find interesting, and then YOUR OPINION on why it is of interest.

As the most prolific game inventor on this forum, you have an insight into the industry that few of us have. If there is a legal decision on game patents, or a new way a computer can deal a game instead of a person, or a new tax on table games, or something like that, then YOUR opinion might be valuable to the forum.

I've had him blocked for months. Unfortunately his advertisement for himself and needless news posts still show up in the recent threads section I use to keep up on things.

It doesn't have to be difficult. Use one thread..... and put your news links in the same thread each day. I actually found some articles to be interesting. You just don't need to create a new thread every. single. day. Easy... not difficult.

I am in agreement with you. Instead of a new thread per day, this could be done in the same vein as the Chip of the Day thread or miscellaneous discussion thread. Have one thread dedicated to say Current events in the Gambling World and he could add to it on a daily basis. While I do not find all his articles intriguing there are usually at least one to two I click on per day

He doesn't give a F*** about that.

Anyways, one new thread per day isn't going to make a big difference to me. I have no clue what he was was thinking or up to when he was doing multiple new threads each day, and why he didnt care to understand why it was so annoying to most members here. I have no clue why he couldn't use one of the news threads we already had going. I should be thankful of that since I can be more confident anything posted on one of those threads might be interesting, as apposed to just some bot like nonsense gambling news links.

He is officailly the only person I ever blocked. I think I unblocked him when he went down to one per day.

This one may work.
One thread per week.

I will call it This-Weeks News, and put Todays-New in there.

I will start it later today.

P.S. Thanks for all the feedbacks.

I have a really good idea. Why don't you start a blog and then post up as many times as you want. Problem solved. I would even be in favor of you having 20 different blogs per day.

Let's let members decide for themselves. Click on Link to Vote: http://bit.ly/2ZYWbzu

P.S. The POLL is for one item per member only, and will end on the 11/May/2019.

Just let me know the final decision so that I can then decide whether blocking the threads or blocking you is the better way to go.
