If you think your ban is unfair you can take a spin at the wheel. You could do better or much worse. All in the rng. 1-30 days each slotted.
Of course, if they made it a spectator sport for the rest of us to watch in real time, all the better.

As if a long time lurker would all of a sudden decide this was the exciting topic that enticed him to make his debut.
So Bob would never have a chance of getting suspended since he can predict numbers.Quote: rxwinePerhaps the new owners could add a small software app to the site. Wheel of Fortune (or perhaps Misfortune)

If you have a comment on my post as far as content, I would be happy to hear it.
but who are you to ask the identity of posters. I didnt ask your identity.
my advice will be that if you don't have the ability to have an educated exchange based on content of a post , attacking the individual or the identity of the individual is futile and should be beneath you
good luck with your detective work Evenbob. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands.
iF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM...please PM a mod, and have them look into it. Do not ruin a thread with your off topic true detective novel nonsense...that could be viewed by some as trolling....but not by me.

I have to agree with Evenbob. And I dont agree with Bob much :-)
This is a Vegas gambling math board.
Most 1st posts have to do with either gambling, vegas or math.
1st post and you are diving into the suspension thread, thats definitly out of the norm, unless you have been here before.

evenbob, I received a pm explaining your circumstances and why you are as you are, and knowing this I will not comment about you going forward. I do have empathy for your plight. I will not go into detail as I do not know if everyone knows.
Anyway it seems people have taken notice that right now I am only here and on the Ferguson thread. Is it ok to be on 2 separate threads?
The Ferguson thread is about a community where the people feel that the rules and laws were enforced in a biased, irregular, manner. And as a result the businesses in the community were destroyed.

So someone that is not EvenBob sent you a PM explaining EvenBob's circumstances and plight? With only 8 posts at this point, someone let you in on something like that?
There are many members here who have challenged EV from time to time...heck, I've challenged him to reveal more about his roulette method/system/whatever that he claims wins him more money than he loses or some such thing...yet your post is the first one where anyone talks about having a circumstance/plight explained to them as if to say...just ignore old EvenBob because ______________.
Smells a little fishy to me, to be honest.

It is an economic theory called "the broken window fallacy", termed by Frederick Bastiat. The theory describes destructive demand whereby a man breaking windows will spur economic activity where the window will be replaced and demand for materials, puts others to work etc.
The country is inadvertently doing this on a massive scale with the infrastructure. By letting it fall apart in slow motion they are creating a bottleneck, which will cause a cluster***k, pay now when it is to your advantage, or later do to crisis.

VailedJOY,
I also find it doubtful that you are a new member, but whether or not you are, please read rules 4. and 15. regarding the privacy of PM's. Publicly posting innuendos about a member received via PM is not allowed. I'm stopping at a warning for now, assuming you follow up on your declaration that you will not be making further comments about EB. Thank you.
For now I won't comment on VJ's mysterious possibly fictional PM.
Quote: AxelWolfWho does everybody suspect vailedJOY of being and why? I secretly received a PM explaining it might be _____and circumstances why he might be that person☺. If its overwhelmingly thought to be who I hope. It will be like a symphony to my ears.
For now I won't comment on VJ's mysterious possibly fictional PM.
Nobody PMs me anything (well, except one person who had a habit of bullying and got away with it and that person only PM'd me to tell me that I was blocked...oh, the fear...)...but my thought is that vailedJOY has been here before and will be nuked because I can't see why someone who was not banned would find a need to post under a new name. If it was a voluntary ban, it could be lifted.
I expect vailedJOY's time here to be short...
How can you suspend someone for something that never really happen? Unless theres someone to dispute a problem. Perhaps VJ got permission to say what he did.Quote: beachbumbabsVailedJOY,

Blatant lies and BS stories should be a bannable offence. Imagine all the system players you could ban.
I would ban anyone claiming 31 losses in a row without proof.

Hmmm…I am trying to dissect this statement—here are my theories:
1. It is sarcasm and that is why you made it 31 losses in a row on purpose so as to exclude my previous statement that I experienced 30 losses in a row;
2. You misremembered my post and thought I had stated 31 losses and, for some reason, actually want me suspended;
3. This has nothing to do with me…

"Rule 4: Respect privacy. Do not post any information about someone else that is intended to be private or quote from private communication."
I gotta scratch my head on his suspension.
What did VJ disclose, other than a claim that he received an email about Spike, I mean, EB?
Sounds to me like his use of the word "plight" was his creation, not that of the alleged sender, and anyway we ALL have some form of "plight," do we not?
No personal info was disclosed, the contents of the alleged scurrilous communication were neither proffered nor summarized.
I agree he should be nuked, but it would be more accurate to amend the suspension list to reflect the correct reason.
I am of course referring to Zuga's new creation, "PITA."
I guess it's sort of like how the Supreme's viewed obscenity: tough to define, but they know it when they see it.

That would be the disclosure of private communication, yes. If believed to be true, this post could lead other members into thinking EvenBob is suffering from, "Circumstances," or, "a plight," for which VailedJoy has empathy. If believed to be true, other Members may become concerned for EvenBob and send him PM's or make public postings asking about said, "Plight," which could potentially cause Evenbob undue aggravation and emotional distress.
This is why the rule exists, if we accept the existence of a, "Plight," as true, then that is information that was intended to be private as it was sent in a PM rather than posted openly. Further, EvenBob maintains that he sent no such PM, therefore, he could not have consented to the sharing of this information. If we assume that such a PM actually exists, and even if the sender had granted permission to share the PM, it contains private information and would still be a Rule 4 violation as the person about whom the information exists did not authorize the sharing of same.
If we assume the post is false, then, Trolling.

No, plus your post counters the probably false allegations that EvenBob has some sort of plight that he divulged to at least one Forum Member.
Absent details/suggestions or a complaint from the other party, I don't think it would be a violation to merely say that you have had PM discourse with someone, provided said discourse is otherwise non-specified.
