Oh? So what do they do for aggravation?
Now I am moving on and will work to continue to try and add positive things to the forum and stay away from the petty negative stuff.

Quote: IbeatyouracesBetting systems?
Haha. Sometimes. But generally there's just much less aggravation. :) The forum is much less math centric so that helps too.
On some forums threads on tipping seem to be good for that, if things ever get a little too tame & civil.Quote: NareedOh? So what do they do for aggravation?

Quote: tringlomaneOne major rule at the other forum I am a regular: No political discussions.
I would be cool with this rule. I block almost all threads that degenerate into political discussions.
The problem is that you can always ancilarily relate it to gambling, due to betting on elections via whatever.
But I feel like 95% of the time it has nothing to do with gamblng. Eff politics. While I've got your attention....

Quote: AcesAndEightsI would like to apologize for my course language recently. While I don't necessarily understand the policy of keeping the forum PG-13, rules are rules and I knowingly violated them in a fit of rage.

Weird. No help from me, though. I don't much understand these intertron boxes =/

I like it. I quoted, then copied and pasted into a new tab to see it. Perfect sentiment.
And, Ace, classy return. Thank you.

Odd. I've never had problems before. I tend to try to keep them small, but I have posted even larger with no reported issues.

It wasn't displaying for me, so I went directly to the linked picture in separate tab to look at it.
And now the pic is displaying correctly in the posts above. Maybe it cached the pic on my machine?
If size is the issue, here is a smaller version below:

Shame on me for not knowing the detailed status of every 3,000+ Non-Active Members,
Shame on Wizard:
- for being so petty in banning me for 3 days for such a small technicality in this case even though I was making a public service post for something the Wizard normally does (oh, now I get it - it was personal),
- for having a website of numbers, yet a ban of 3 days actually equals 5 as I could not post or private message Admin until 5 days after the ban.
I appreciate that the ban was only 3/5 days since I guess I could have been nuked like most real craps players are here. Only time will tell.

Let's make is a week this time, but I'll give you two days credit for extra time served last time, so you owe me five.

I suspect that 3 turned into 7 and 7 will soon turn in to something more.

There is a definite "learning curve" as to what one can and cannot post at WoV.
Adapt, or die.

Just type as you woud speak to someone in person.
The internet annominity I think causes alot of insults to fly back and forth.
In person this really doesn't happen.
If responding, just type as if the person is face to face with you and it should be all good. No real learning curve, just respect for the person you are communicating with.
I've said many times that new members as well as old members should familiarize themselves with the Forum Rules and read them often but would it have mattered in this case?
"4. Respect privacy. Do not post any information about someone else that is intended to be private or quote from private communication."
and
"15. Private Messaging: Private messages are supposed to be private. Of course, by mutual agreement they can be quoted to a larger audience. The rules above also apply to private messaging, including rule #1. An exception to the privacy rule is that abuses may be reported to the Wizard, JB or Mission146. We will treat it like a "coach's challenge" in the NFL. If a banning is warranted, it will be given. If not, a banning of a perceived victim may be made for making a false claim. (Added 8/17/2012)"
How can you be allowed to quote a private message, with permission, yet also be prohibited from posting any portion of a private communication?
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceWhat is the conflict? You can't post something that someone sends you privately unless the person who sent it gives you permission to do so.
The conflict involves the prohibition of quoting from private communication.
Obviously the info was sent by a banned former member to him via "private communication" i.e. e-mail, and he posted it.
There is an exception to that prohibition -- the person sending the message can waive the right to keep it private. This seems pretty obvious.Quote: MrVThe conflict involves the prohibition of quoting from private communication.
The suspension had nothing to do with it being private. He was suspended for passing on info from a banned member. Presumably this is seen as an attempt to get around the ban.Quote:Obviously the info was sent by a banned former member to him via "private communication" i.e. e-mail, and he posted it.
FWIW I had never heard of either member until they posted in this thread.
That is why I say "conflict."
Perhaps "ambiguity" would be more apt.
There is no rule against passing info from a banned member.

Hmm.... I think I may have done this before however I really was not attempting to add a voice to the banned person. What about suspended people? I'm sure I have seen this many times.Quote: AxiomOfChoiceHe was suspended for passing on info from a banned member.
What if someone seen someone like Varmenti(Is he banned? or just disappeared) and passed on a quote from him. Something like, "My dam cats ate all my Baccarat money"
I did hear he was playing craps now
and started a new band called The Dead Cat Bouncers j/k

What if I go to ontario and play craps with him and while doing so I get a picture with him. I post it on here with a caption that says varmenti says hi. Would that be wrong?

Quote: MrVThere is no rule against passing info from a banned member.
Whether there is a written rule against it or not, that was the stated reason for the suspension.
The Wizard can suspend anyone for whatever reason he chooses. There is nothing that says that the set of written rules is a complete list of reasons for suspension.
