Discussion II about the Suspension List
Quote: tringlomaneYou remember all the way back in 2013 or whenever he got suspended last?
Seems like yesterday. I think he's never been suspended at DT.
Quote: WizardSeems like yesterday. I think he's never been suspended at DT.
Was that a sly joke?
Last time he was suspended was a few days ago lol
Quote: DarrenGGimme a break. Here's Boz's suspension history before his current suspension:
Boz's prior suspensions
Date # of days 07/26/14 7 days 09/24/14 3 days 04/01/15 14 days 05/04/16 3 days 06/06/16 7 days 08/29/17 7 days 12/20/17 3 days 04/18/18 7 days 06/19/18 3 days 11/25/18 3 days 12/02/18 7 days 12/20/18 14 days 01/28/19 3 days
And you guys are complaining that he only got 30 days after his 14th suspension?!!? So much for all the righties who claim liberal bias from the mods lol.
Boz has gotten the most lenient treatment out of any member of the forum. He should have been nuked 3 years ago back on 06/06/16. and if he was properly martingaled, his current suspension would be for 28,672 days. If anything I see conservative bias lol!
Quote: SOOPOOQuote: DarrenGHow did Boz get his Martingale count reset multiple times? He even got reverse Martingaled five times. Pretty good deal for the righties.

Welcome to the forum 'new poster'. If I joined a forum my first post would definitely include an analysis of Boz's suspensions over the last 5 years!
Interesting. A new member with only two posts...both about Boz's suspensions.
Quote: darkozWas that a sly joke?

Yes you are correct of course. I meant the suspension he received over a comment about Nareed.
Quote: SOOPOOThe threads become disjointed if you block a single agitating prolific poster.
Yeah, that's the most annoying thing IMO. You click on a thread and instead of it going to the first unread post, it just stays at the top, because that post is by someone who is blocked or it includes a quote of someone who is blocked. So I only block people if I absolutely have to. =\ But it's a bit of freedom I'm willing to part with, as they say.
Quote: jackmagic777nothing here as to why Nathan got 7 days ? I am so lost
If you go to the "Suspension List" thread in the "Rules" section, it will say why a member is banned and link to the offending post.

Let’s be honest, when he’s not suspended is he really contributing?
Quote: PokerGrinderLet’s be honest, when he’s not suspended is he really contributing?
On some threads he is. But certainly not on your wonderful trip threads!

Strangely when they are both not suspended I would say Nathan contributes a lot more than EB
Nathan - sometimes inane and probably bad advice given by a young seemingly misguided voice. Comments are entertaining at the very least
EB - divisive and snarky critiques meant to inflict harm while avoiding suspensions given by an old wizened voice purposely intent on misguidance. Comments are usually upsetting more than entertaining

Quote: jackmagic777Nathan suspended for giving advice on a thread where OP asked for advice and never bothered to return. Nathan even asked if her advice was good or not. How does that merit a suspension? Does anyone care to explain?
For being a new member, you are very opinionated about the moderators and well versed in member history, inside jokes, etc.
Quote: WizardI agree 100%. It is not gentlemanly to attack someone when they can't defend themselves. If you have something to say to someone, man up and do it to his/her face.
A few members seem intent on ignoring this advice.

You can lurk here a long time and learn a lot.
There is another poster with two comments (as of yesterday), both commenting on Boz's suspension history. He didn't even bother to come to this thread to comment on it.

Just visualize his posts as if he is using his "Get off my lawn" voice and his posts become more enjoyable. Picture beloved, iconic tv figures from your youth. I have enjoyed one particular posters thoughts much better since I started picturing him as Otis from Mayberry RFD. Perhaps a casting contest will be off use.

Donald Trump is not an iconic tv figure from my youth
Edit: Never mind. I mis-read what you were saying. I thought you were saying EBs icon of Donald Trump was a beloved tv figure from my youth lol
Quote: RonCA few members seem intent on ignoring this advice.
Is it ok if I man up and do it to his icon

Thank you for providing an accurate description of many of the posters on BOTH sides of the political aisle.

Due to the nature of politics I have no problem with divisiveness in the political threads as long as the forum rules are adhered to
Its in the other gambling etc threads it becomes annoying and disruptive to the forum

I agree with you
Quote: jackmagic777Nathan suspended for giving advice on a thread where OP asked for advice and never bothered to return. Nathan even asked if her advice was good or not. How does that merit a suspension? Does anyone care to explain?
Nathan is:
1. the only forum member who was required to post a photo of herself. The reasons have long ago been shown to be completely empty.
2. The only forum member who is known to be Black -because her photo has been posted. (Another member has recently said that he is not Caucasian.)
3. The only forum member who has been suspended for having the arrogance to post on other people's threads.
4. The only forum member who has been told to stay in her corner!
Figure it out.

I would agree that giving bad advice , unintentionally , is probably not a rule violation. Especially when the person giving it asks if others feel it’s good or not. If the mods felt Nathan knew the correct advice and was just misleading the OP then perhaps that’s trolling. But I don’t think Nathan knows the correct way to play any table games
If so , then shouldn’t the Lock of the Century 2 thread be a rule violation? It’s turned into one of the worst NBA season props one could’ve wagered on.
I’m sure if I went through many of the blackjack and video poker threads I could find bad advice as well

Furthermore its my belief some APs on here purposely hand out misleading or false info in order to protect a given AP play
So are suspensions now handed out for bad advice?

Quote: darkozSo are suspensions now handed out for bad advice?
To word it another way, if suspensions were handed out for bad judgment, then the mods who suspended Nathan should also be suspended.

The APs on here are treated like royalty and fall under a different tolerance for rule violations.
This forum is only about helping people play games and lose as little as possible. God forbid should an actual profitable casino play be given out to the commonfolk

If I remember correctly the Wizard asked a baccarat enthusiast to leave permanently for pimping his winning ways. The poster was too polite to get banned the normal way. And by "winning", I mean, bad advice.
I think as said in pirate movies, the pirate code is guidelines ultimately. As is here sometimes.
Also, constantly questioning how the place is run will get you invited to leave. That has also led to nukes.
Quote: jackmagic777You mean the AP's who wong in and steal my good hands when the shoe is positive ? At least they should admit they are stealing from me, not the house.
They will just tell you one persons hand had no affect on the hand of another player seated at the table
Well Buzzard, you know perfectly well that Barbara will never be doing anything about whatever you might say or do.Quote: jackmagic777... I better not say anymore
IMO, craps is still a negative expectation game, and the advice Nathan gave, although possibly inadvertently is as good as any other advice, depending on the outcome desired.
I believe Wizard himself says, the best chance of making money at craps is with variation. So if the poster was asking about how to bet, with the highest possibility of the largest outcome in her favor, Nathan gave the best advice possible. IIANM?
And although no one has yet reached out to the new poster's OP, at least you have Nathan thoroughly put in her place. When you all get done haranguing Nathan, you can return to bad mouthing Bob.

I'm glad people give advice, but it is still voluntary as far as I know.
Quote: rxwineI'm glad people give advice, but it is still voluntary as far as I know.
I think volunteering should be compulsory.
