Discussion II about the Suspension List
Quote: TigerWuQuote: TankoForty?
Was 72 a few years ago. Must be running low.
Fun fact: The 72 virgins thing is not in the Koran. The Koran only says you are given an unknown number of servants in heaven, and they are for men and women.
Also, suicide is forbidden in Islam, so all those suicide bombers have some 'splainin' to do.
The virgins thing comes from The Old Man of The Mountain, who, while Muslim, was not a religious leader. He lead a cult that contracted out to fight for either side or both sides and specialized in contract killing. They famously smoked a lot of Hashish and hashasins got corrupted into assassin, and are remembered as the League of Assassins.
The Old Man promised his followers 40( or 72?) virgins in paradise.
Can I take your wife, please?Quote: boymimboTell you what,, Bob. You can make as many jokes about my wife as you'd like. Let me start.
"With my wife I don’t get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to ‘the best woman a man ever had.’ The waiter joined me."
Just get it out of your system.
You know you want to, youve been asking for two pages now...

I mean, I wouldn't mind starting some more Pai Gow Tiles threads, but there's only so many of us here that play it.

I wish I knew how to play it. Seems intimidating to learn.

I have plans to do an absolute beginner's guide video for Tiles.

Its difficult to learn because the dotted numbering is not intuitive numerically.
However quick tip. Nothing prevents you from playing. Just tell the dealer you want her to set the tiles house way. There is only one way she is allowed to set it so there is no cheating.
House way is the best way. Other players may try to set their tiles in a less desirable manner if they suspect the dealers combinations can be tied or beaten due to tile distribution. You arent supposed to see the other players tiles for this reason
Is one of the smallest house edge games. Every winning wager has a 5% commission fee. Its the only way for the casino to profit

One of the smallest edge games is here in FL at Derby Lane.Pai Gow poker. No commission. House only has that vey slight tie edge. Only 5 dollar min. They make the profit on the fortune bet. Most places fortune is min 1 dollar, Derby lane its a 5 dollar min fortune bet

Ya, the real reason.... BBB knew I was coming after her once I got some rest(I told her so), so she tried cooling me off with a 72 hour thread shutdown. It may have worked. Quick thinking, nice work BBB.Quote: darkozQuote: MaxPen

Even one can be damaging according to you
Sounds slightly AP’able depending on house way.Quote: terapinedOne of the smallest edge games is here in FL at Derby Lane.Pai Gow poker. No commission. House only has that vey slight tie edge.

Shhhh!
Dont get in trouble with the other APs
Quote: unJonWondering why GBV is in the red. He made a post in the Australia coin flip game thread about a “butterfly” toss, but didn’t see that anything in the post violated forum rules.
Maybe the Wiz banned him for insinuating that a coin toss can be controlled ?

Suspension list has dupe ID’s to avoid suspension. IIRC one of his ID’s was continuously attacking teliot.
That shouldn't call for a suspension, that should get a merit badge.Quote: mcallister3200IIRC one of his ID’s was continuously attacking teliot.
Just kidding.

That's correct. IIRC, thanks.
Quote: rsactuaryThat's a bit harsh, I think a warning asking him to have one thread for all of this casino news would be more appropriate. But yeah, that needs to happen.
Especially since it seems to have started right after the creation of a gambling current events thread designed to avoid this very situation
Quote: RSI nominate MrCasinoGames (https://wizardofvegas.com/member/mrcasinogames/) to be suspended for endlessly spamming the forum with new threads.
I like his posts. At least he's talking about casinos and gambling and not starting endless political threads.
He just needs to be reigned in a little.
No one is arguing about the content. Why we need a new thread started for each and everything he wants to post makes absolutely no sence, unless he is trying to advertise something. He is even making new threads about current topics we already have threads about that are currently active.Quote: TigerWuI like his posts.

Personally I think 1-3% thread to post ratio is about good.
While I think he has a bad ratio at least they are gambling opposed to a few others on here that have all new threads as something other than vegas or gambling. I think there should have to be a 90% of your new threads are vegas/gambling related and not politics or random crap. Maybe I should look at my threads before I suggest that rule.

I love this rule.
Will get rid of at least a few people on here.
Someone whose first initial is E and second is B will probably be first in line for expulsion

Plenty of others fit that category, on both sides, including me.
But the guy who proudly admits he was stuck living in a subway for 7 years picks one guy he disagrees with politically out.
Assuming you were not a crackhead that enjoyed the lifestyle, you couldn’t figure a way out of the situation in 7 years?
Makes me see EB’s Roulette advice as valid as your AP info.

Lol, I singled out EB because my entire time here on WOV he is the only person I ever had the need to block.
It was not about politics. I banter back and forth with quite a few people about politics on here.
EB seemed quite intent on personal insults against me that extended beyond politics or AP and which were causing me to straddle the line with statements that would lead to me being banned. So I blocked him.
Go ahead and use EBs roulette advice. I have no problem with you losing your money foolishly.
Maybe homelessness is the cure to tobacco addiction.
Quote: CrystalMathI’ve recently started using the block thread feature because of this. I’m also going to use it for all political threads.
I did it a month or so ago. No regrets.

?
You must have the wrong person.
I haven't smoked a day in my life. Why would I need a cure for tobacco addiction
Quote: TigerWuI just wish that when you blocked a user you couldn't see them at all.
I agree. I tried blocking a user for the first time a few days ago and I assumed it would hide that user’s threads. Unfortunately not.

I still don’t understand why a mod hasn’t spoke to him about it. I use the Recent Threads list and lately when I go to it there’s 6 or 7 threads started by this guy. All news items which don’t really need dedicated threads
Quote: BozHey I just give you credit for making it 7 years without a cigarette.

Just the cure to paying for smokes. I remember a corporate fire drill once in town and of course all the smokers lit up. Had to walk around the corner to get back in the building. All the smokers said they were panhandled for a smoke by several bums on the street in that very short time.

It just started recently.
And prior to that he was a pretty good contributor and a prolific game inventor that still is good for the forum to have.
But now yeah, its become so annoying and over the top the community has to complain
Its the only reason I see their reticence with the matter

Only heard griping about MCG today. Looked and saw this...
Quote: MrCasinoGames
BTY, I do take members points, that I put too much Post/Threads here per day.
I will cut some of it out.
It's a new problem and appears to have already solved itself. Nothing to do now but observe and guide MCG if the problem persists.

I don't know why people smoke tobacco
I've been smoking most of my life
But
Never ever smoked tobacco. What's the point.

Rule 17.

As the Ancient Hawaiians used to say, "the banhammer only swings left twice as fast as the right".

The language on this is clear, however anytime a quote is accompanied by something like "fixed that for you," "this is what you should have said," or something along those lines it's clear that the quoted poster is being quoted falsely to everyone and thus their credibility is unaffected.
