The last four pages of posts, all miscellaneous political rants, and some impuning of EvenBob's talent as a political clairvoyant, have been moved to Pitch a bitch. Complain about the Affordable Care Act here, or whatever else is bothering you.
More posts moved to The Central Bank of Iran.

Nothing can be moved to DT, unfortunately. They are completely separate sites.
In other news, new guy KingFX is nuked for spamming. Making a bunch of posts with links to a betting system that "really works" won't last long around here.

Was KingFX any relation to Thail? King's links are still active, but Thail just wrote (or an admin amended his posts to read) spam. It all seems very strange to me.

I nailed Thail, but I usually don't announce it in this thread when I nuke Spammers, I'd end up making two such announcements per day, on average.
Most of the time, nobody knows about the other Spammers because they start a new thread or blog. The problem when someone posts spam onto an existing thread is the fact that I have no ability to delete an individual post, the only work-around is to separate the post into a new thread, title that thread, and then delete the new thread.
I'm not sure why, but yes, I can nuke an entire thread, but not an individual post!

"Soliciting?"
I don't see that proscribed behavior listed in the Forum Rules.
Perhaps I overlooked it?
It's not "free advertising," per se, as in context it seems that he made the offer only to prove a point.
As for "Keep it Legal:" his offer seems to be no more illegal than the bets escrowed / made between members on this site.
Which would seem to leave "Betting systems;" it seems to me that that would be a stretch.
Curious.

I think it falls under Rule 10: betting systems. "Betting systems may not be offered for sale anywhere on the site." Presumably, the statement "Bring $5000 and meet me at Fallsview" is an offer (paraphrased out of laziness).

The inconsistency is pretty special, too. I've been playing for 20 years. No, wait. 2 months. No, wait, 7 years. I play every day. No, wait, I play once every 2 weeks. I play professionally. No, I play for entertainment. I've just now started winning. No, wait. I've won $2MM. No, wait. It's $2MM if you don't offset losses...
I don't think I've ever seen anyone be that erratic. Especially not without removing the evidence of the contradictory posts. Maybe it's all a "pun."

I would have went If he was willing to Bet some money on his system. However I don't know how often a progressive betting system should work VS how often it will fail. I only know it fails in the long run... I use progressive betting systems occasionally online when using bonuses or dealing with wagering requirements. Is there some kind of chart One can look at that have the various percentages of success using progressive betting systems like martingale ? In short sessions I believe it has a high rate of success if you walk away when you are a head a few units.Quote: IbeatyouracesAll we had to do was go to Fallsview and bet just like he does.

He was charging $5,000 for gambling lessons, which I interpret was to explain his system. Even if he was just selling the pleasure of being in his company, selling anything on this site is prohibited without prior approval of management. How is that a stretch? Just goes to show that no matter what I do, I get criticized. This one I thought was an easy call. If anything, I was too lenient.

It's all about context.
Did he previously make this offer to others, or was it a one time lapse in judgment, perhaps to make himself look good and to shut up his detractor?
I haven't looked at the entire thread, nor have I read all of his posts, but I suspect that He Who Is Now Suspended had not been trying to talk up and peddle a gambling system to others.
Ultimately it's your board, your rules, but to me it was a far from "easy call."
True, just reading the guy's posts makes me grate my teeth and want to punch something, but if that were cause for suspension the board's most prolific poster would have been consigned to Davy Jones' locker long ago.

If by "one mistake" you mean if you get your 5th total suspension in the last 15 months you're not going to be allowed back ever, that would seem pretty fair. There's a difference between one mistake and five suspensions.

Hello, for once I have to disagree with WIZARD.
you made an error in judgement, they butched varmenti in his own thread. the members pushed his buttons and after reading his posts, I see the 5000 was deposit and 5 days of gambling totaling 5000 plus profit is return to the NOVICEGAMBLER.
After reading even more it was NOVICEGAMBLER who was soliciting varmenti by offering him 15000.
Sorry WIZARD but you are wrong.
You should answer to the butcher guys on here.
varmenti sits my table with his sweet wife when they play and they are very sweet couples. they don't deserve treatment here like this.

NOVICEGAMBLER made a challenge to varmenti and I see here quote
Quote: varmenti
Tell you what novicegambler, you are a man looking for education, so here is a good offer for you because they say if you teach a man to fish he can feed his family for a lifetime.
1) Pay me $5000.00 in "Cash in advance" to cover 5 days of Gambling.
2) I will work with you for 5 days, teaching you my methods in Person the absolute right way.
3) all the Gambling for the 5 days will go to your Pocket up to the amount of 5000.00
Then we split 50/50
4) after the five days you will be fully educated to make a living for the lifetime Utilizing my methods.
Deal? or No Deal?
but when you read more before will show this NOVICEGAMBLER soliciting and then other people here name calling, bully this nice man. If this was the reason for treating him badly then why did you not prevent the thread. varmenti offering PARTNER BACCARAT SYSTEM from start, is that not soliciting? if you answer yes, then you must banned all the people here.

Coming from the person who stalked my every post leading up to my last two suspensions relating to your implying I was a homosexual interested in meeting you for a date, I'm not surprised by this comment from you. You write a bunch of stupid nonsensical trash about things you don't understand, and write it off as okay because you work for a casino and deal with people that are losers all day long and are familiar with how things work when people are losing.

2/5ths of those suspensions came after you asked me, "so are you asking me on a date?" That's where I drew the line with you Zcore. You still want to focus in on me? The last two suspensions were basically fallout from your question, "so are you asking me out on a date."
