Discussion II about the Suspension List
Quote: darkozWouldn't the correct answer be "I never beat my wife" (assuming you don't and are being truthful)
It you answer "No" then you admit you are still beating her; "Yes" is an admission that you used to beat her, but stopped.
Either answer sucks you into admitting that you have beaten your wife, which for some of us, anyway, simply is not the case.
CB is running a variation on that, as if I chose either of his choices it woudl be an admission that I am a phony.
Sometimes my alter ego channels and reflects beliefs which are otherwise kept at bay, but hey, that's what a playground is for.

Wizard has said truthfulness isn't an excuse for insults.
For example calling someone who weighs 300 pounds a fat person is still insulting.
Calling someone a phony is an insult imo and especially since you feel you aren't. Just an alter ego
Quote: darkozCalling someone a phony is an insult imo and especially since you feel you aren't. Just an alter ego
What's your point?
That someone who adopts an alter ego isn't a phony,
if they feel they aren't a phony?
Like a gender identity thing?
It's not what you are, it's what you think you are?
What a world.

By far I have the most posts on this form, yet I am one of the least suspended members. Why do you suppose that's true. Because I think about how I'm saying something before I say it. You can say almost anything you want, including insults, by being clever about it. It used to drive Babs crazy because she's so smart she could see what I was doing yet she could do nothing about it. lol

You actually have fooled no one and that's why most posters don't like you.
If this was my forum you would have been permanently banned back in 2012
But that's a statement about the forum rules and leadership.
To me your statement above is the most direct admission that you purposely do what is defined as trolling.
I'm not saying you are a troll. I'm saying that's what a definition of a troll is.

I'd take 100 Bob's over members that:
Think they control the dice
Think they have a winning betting system
Think shufflers have a "Beast Mode"
Think furry video games are table games
Think cards are clumped or sorted to make players lose
I've never met EB in person, but he I've never had an issue with him or his posts.

So your observations, criticisms, praises and comments are meaningless fiction and for show?
Are you expecting an Internet Oscar for best performance?

So you prefer people with winning systems in roulette over those with winning systems on craps.
Quote: billryanSo you prefer people with winning systems in roulette over those with winning systems on craps.
Winning systems (card counting, hole carding, wheel clocking, etc) are provable and more than possible possible. Controlling dice legally thrown against a diamond pattern back wall is not.

To change the subject, have you seen Yonkers Joe? It's about a small group of low-rent scammers who figure out a way to introduce their own die to the table. I saw it ten years ago and thought it was great. It's finally on Amazon Prime and rewatching it was disappointing. A fascinating look into the lives and methods of low rent sleazes but it didn't hook me like the first time I saw it.
MarcusClark66 7 days for Insult to AxelWolf
Coachbelly 3 days for just generally trolling. (this was originally a 7 day suspension by another moderator, which i've reduced to 3days as a gesture of leniency)
MrV 3 days for Personal Insult, originally 7 days, but mitigated because he did try to unpost it... just not in time.
What a busy week! Thanks guys.
Stay safe.

When the mods " accidentally" forget to release people after they've done their time, I think they should get credit for their next sentence.
It will make the spinning wheel of justice run quicker.

Never seen it. Rounders and Vegas Vacation are the only gambling movies that I would watch again if I came across them flipping the channels. Most of the other gambling movies bore me. But then so do casinos now that I've been working in them so long.

I am with you, most casino & gambling movies barely move the bar for me. Like you, I have spent the last 20 years dealing with casinos and gambling almost every day of my life.
I can't think of a gambling movie that I would watch again in its entirety. I will watch 15 minutes or so of Vegas Vacation if I see it on.
What I liked was you get to see some of the methods casino security goes thru, and it is filmed in the old Vegas Club and the Plaza, and you see the early days of The Fremont Experience.
It's also got a huge human interest side story which detracts from the gambling scenes.
so if mr v said his username (mdawg) instead of doofdawg, he would have been ok?Quote: OnceDearJust a quick catch-up

so you can edit your post while you are banned?
No big deal. I've taken long breaks from this place
Forum has become infested with liars and trolls
I'd rather post about my travels on FB for friends
I still post some photos of my travels over at DT.
DT used to be pretty aggressive with politics allowed.
But
It dont hold a candle to this place anymore.
Kind of weird. Politics allowed at DT but no suspensions
No politics allowed here yet one thread is suspension city. The whole thread is a troll on the forum.
In some ways, I'm surprised this forum has not brought back politics

Quote: FTBWhy is Wellbush in red?
He said he blocked a bunch of losers.
So maybe insulting blocked forum members
Personal insult to a subset of the forum collectively. That got him suspended.I might restore him when I get convinced he's not a sock.Quote: FTBWhy is Wellbush in red?
Sabre is a long-time member of the forum who has contributed many good things. Wellbrush probably uses a VPN, enough said.Quote: MDawgI advocate for the reinstatement of Wellbush. If sabre, who has multiple prior suspensions is able to get off with a warning, why not also Wellbush, who has no priors.
Wellbush's vpn firmly places him in Oz..... But then it would, wouldn't it.Quote: AxelWolfSabre is a long-time member of the forum who has contributed many good things. Wellbrush probably uses a VPN, enough said.

Because not a single post of Wellbush's has added anything of value to the forum. Whether or not he is a sock puppet is not 100% clear, but his posts make it appear he is, as has been mentioned by Green Moderator OnceDear.
I have an idea!!!!!! MDawg, you are about to come up with a $2k payout courtesy of darkOz. Wellbush has mentioned he needs EXACTLY $2k to put his magic can't lose system to work, but doesn't have that much money. Can you see where this is going!!!!!!!
Implying that anyone who realizes that must be a sock is a tired old story worn smooth through years of MISuse.
If Mdawg says Mdawg is the real deal, then it must be true.Quote: MDawgMDawg is the real deal.

Shall we have 'MDawg's testimonials' thread: 'MDawg's Discussion of suspensions in MDawgs thread' thread.....
No. Let's not.
We have enough tired old stories for today.
Wellbush stays suspended until he isn't.

Without socks, post count would drop 25% and this would be a far less interesting place. Why nuke them at all if they are not causing trouble.
Define 'causing trouble'Quote: EvenBobWithout socks, post count would drop 25% and this would be a far less interesting place. Why nuke them at all if they are not causing trouble.
. That’s easy. I would. Once you identify someone as a possible ‘sock’, if you actually take the value of their posts regardless of if they are socks or not, what would be lost by nuking them? This isn’t a criminal trial where the result of an error is a wrong imprisonment.Quote: OnceDearEasy to spot. Hard to prove.Quote: EvenBobQuote: AxelWolfA better question would be...
