Except that a good portion of the forum knew that he was the previous member. Heck I joined after the original name was banned and I knew who WoN was on his previous account. Heck members here would leave not so subtle clues in their posts as to who he previously was.

I personally never cared that WoN was a dupe account as I enjoyed his posts. I wish he was still posting here as his content was good for the forum.



I wonder what WON's original screen name was and what he did to get banned.

Speaking of banned accounts.

I just happened to see the members list of people who logged on today. I have to admit, I got a really nice chuckle when I seen the following name in red....

I'm not advocating this, but surely they must know its a viable option.

I got 2 very nasty PMs from FYN and he harassed me on the public forum too. Just his screen name was cause for a permanent ban.

Well that brings up an interesting question. What if someone's screen name here is Trump? Then anytime someone says something negative about Trump is that a suspension because Trump is a member in good standing here? How do you know when someone says Trump that they are not referring to the member of this form?

I don't know what got said that proved it was WoN. I didn't see anything that met the required standard of proof. However, it might have been deleted as a sockpuppet post.

Yeah. There's suspicion, and then there's a level of proof. I'm 0% surprised DJT was WoN, but I couldn't prove it.

The interesting thing is that at first "Donald J Trump," poster started off looking like a legitimate Newbie and then out of the blue insulted me in my Best And Worst Slot Types? " thread which was meant to be a fun thread. I was thinking,"Something isn't quite right here, because most legitimate Newbies don't start insulting older Members out of the blue." Given the animosity between WON and I, it comes to me as no surprise that "Donald J Trump," was WON.

Can you imagine if the REAL Donald Trump as in President Of The United States became a member on here? ;) I'll bet he'd continuously suck up to himself in the "Trump Final 100 Days," thread and the "Trump First 100 days," thread. :P

Nathan,

I'm glad for you that people are sticking up for you, but I can't say I appreciate all this stuff about WoN. I find it trollish, and I ask that you stop commenting on it constantly.

Nathan is banned one month for this thread:

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/general/30149-shouldnt-the-casino-music-management-be-thinking-of-their-older-customers/#post624964

Pending a review of my decision that I’m going to request later.

The ban is for starting another thread with substantially the same subject matter as this one started a few weeks ago:

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/off-topic/general/29965-things-you-are-tired-of-hearing-in-casinos/#post620387

Which was also started by Nathan, contains 80% the same exact subject matter, roughly 50% the same verbiage and only went two pages. That’s Trolling/Flooding.

It’s pretty clear she felt that thread should have been better received, and rather than make a post adding to it, decided to try again.

Suspension List will be updated next time I’m at a proper computer.

Martingale. She has bans of one and two weeks within the last year. She’s also been open warned for this sort of thing on a few occasions, as I recall.

Anyway, I’m going to have my decision reviewed due to the length. Maybe by two Admins.

Nathan's original thread was an open question to the forum asking members to describe things they get tired of hearing in casinos; as her example she listed loud techno music.

The second thread, the one that got her suspended for a month, was a short rant against loud techno music in casinos.

Uh ... how is this flooding?

Do you interpret flooding as prohibiting the discussion of the same subject in two different threads?

Really?

If so this board could soon be a ghost town, provided fair, consistent enforcement of the rule occurs.

Now I can certainly understand why you might get tired of Nathan's often somewhat inane posts but that's not really the point, is it?

No doubt, we will have another slotter show up with the same type of jibber jabber.

Upon Nathans return, I suggest she be allowed to start ONE thread. She could call it Nathan's slot talk and keep all her slot related posts contained in that one thread.


I had to go back and edit everything to reflect that Nathan is a female.

Update:

The length of the Suspension will be reduced. What it will be reduced to is under discussion.

I don’t know if you read both threads, but the second thread is basically a somewhat altered version of one of the paragraphs in the first thread. Beyond that, it’s the same OP on the same subject in a period of three weeks.

We’d obviously never suspend just because two different people start a similar thread within a few weeks of one another. You’d assume the second person just didn’t see the first thread.

This is clearly a matter of Nathan being dissatisfied with the reception of the first thread, so trying it again. Should I let Nathan create a new version with a slightly edited paragraph of every thread she’s ever made every three weeks until the end of time?

It certainly merits partial consideration, I’m not going to lie.

For the record, that was essentially the third try at the same discussion. Another thread had already morphed into that discussion when the “original thread” was started.

Actually, at least the 4th. I deleted one very similar as duplicate back a month or more ago that had no responses, but I don't log such actions, so can't give a date.

Personally, I have no significant issues with the overall enforcement of the rules here, other than it often leads to the loss of posters who had a history of posting valuable, interesting things.

People will always gripe and disagree about rules and their enforcement: it's like you're the parents and we're the children continuously testing the boundaries.

After discussion, the length of Nathan’s ban has been reduced to one week, but it does not reset his Martingale. His Martingale will be as if he had been banned for thirty days as he was already at two weeks.

I brought it up with two other Admins who both agreed with the ban, but disagreed with the length. I pointed out about the Martingale thing, but then we all essentially acknowledged that someone with no previous bans likely would not have been banned in that specific instance. We acknowledge that this has been a repeat pattern for Nathan, so all of us agree that some sort of ban is necessary.

I offer my apologies to Nathan and anyone dissatisfied with the length of the initial ban. I was probably too harsh on that one.

Thirty days is too long, I didn't really see a problem in the first place. Nathan hasn't been suspended in a long time, that has to be taken into account, in my opinion, if there is a violation, 3 days is sufficient. Nathan can be considered irritating to some, but can be blocked after all. I think Nathan should be given pity and shown mercy.
