Doh! I don't feature in that fine list of candidates. I'm insulted. Was it a deliberate racist thing ?
Truth is, I thought I was in the list, because 'Jenny' is my Friday night name.
Where's LayMeDown and StrictlyAP in that list?

The fix is in. Let's all get er guns and start a civil war if yer not a mod.

I'm getting quite a few PM's this afternoon. Let me just say that anybody is welcome to apply to be a moderator.

If you're a mod, can you delete the suspension lists and threads and unban everyone permanently? I wouldn't let all the inmates go free, I'm just asking for a friend that looks like me and I let him use my phone.

It is disturbing that you say this with such pride. I think it highlights one of your shortcomings.

I guess it comes down to the question of what is this site? Is it a site about gambling, gambling information and helping people to gamble from a position of strength, or it is some sort of social club?

If it is the former, your goal should be to have as many players that have achieved some level of success participate on a regular basis. And that should include re-evaluating situations and trying to bring back some successful players. Especially those that really didn't have a history of trolling behavior and no longer participate, whether banned or having left on their own, for some sort of disagreement or personal issue.

Unfortunately, as someone who has lurked for a long-time, it appears the site has moved towards the later, nothing more than a social club, with a lot of games played, trolling, egos, ongoing jabs at one another, many based on political views. The high volume of suspensions and bannings seems to play right into that. It seems like the object is to insult one another, getting as close to the line as possible, without crossing it.

Can you point out a gambling site when added to WOV and WOO that's more successful?

People keep forgetting that the WOV forum is probably -EV for their business model. 85+% of the regulars here will tell you to stay away from online gambling period. Count me out, and then ask the top 10 contributors here if they would ever play online(you can even do a poll for everyone).

How would you like to have a coffee shop where most of the customers that came in all said, this place is great to sit down and use the internet, but don't ever drink the coffee because it's horrible and made of poison.

How many regulars and new members actully use a link here to sign up and play online? IMO WOV is like a Live Keno room in an LV casino. Sure it may make some money, but they could make way more if they added slots or somthing else, just like they would probably make more money here if they turned this forum into an LCB site.

I say, be happy the forum is what it is. It could be run like some forums such as TA.

Don't know what got till its gone.

I somewhat agree and I don't fault the administrator or mods for this.

But my problem with the forum is that there are so many posters either stating or implying that they have systems or methods of winning that are in actuality completely bogus.

So, you feel if you don't respond and refute their BS then those with lack of knowledge will be influenced to actually believe all the crap they dish out.

And it just gets too tiring to respond to all of their BS.

And I feel guilty when I don't respond and shoot down the BS. But I just don't have the energy for it anymore.

Whatever.

I think that's a completely different topic. Debunking betting systems is one of WOV's strong suits.

I have seen a few forums that are infested with guys touting bogus systems. It's mostly guys that couldn't handle the heat over here.

I am no mathematical guru, and it didn't take AP understand you can't turn negative EV games into positive EV games without somthing extra being given out. I have a hard time understanding why even some highly educated people can't grasp this simple concept.

I won't speak for Mission, but I think, that he thought, everything he did going forward would be questioned or meet with criticism, especially from some of the guys who he liked and respected.

He hasn't even been posting for a while now )-;

Edward J Smith was the captain of the Titanic which struck an iceberg in 1912 on its first and only voyage across the Atlantic and sunk into the Atlantic Ocean. Though recent news says that it is very possible is that a coal fire(I honestly thought the anchor called it a "Cold fire," and I thought it meant a low burning fire, and Google told me it was "coal fire,") was the real culprit and the Titanic staff knew that there was the damn coal fire burning in the brig and still let the Titanic sail knowing it shouldn't have sailed with the coal fire in the brig. They didn't even tell the passengers about the coal fire and let them obliviously board. :( A simple, "Hey, we have a coal fire in the brig of the Titanic!" Heads up to everyone would have been ideal. :/

Are you referring to KJgate and him trying to debunk outrageous BJ claims of certain counts that adding a significant per percentage to ones counting?

FYI. there's some suspicion going around about who really you are.

Yes, I know, there's a known MrBo handle on various BJ forums or whatever.

And for the record, I'm not claiming anything, it's mostly insignificant to me so don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling you there are many people who are suspicious.

I'd hate to spoil anyone's fun, but if someone collected links to all the previous discussions, and just post all of them as reference for the poster, and just shut down the thread. Not like there needs to be the 1000 threads going through all the same arguments.

I just assumed some people had fun going back and forth with some of these posters, else something like that would've already happened.

I'll give Edward the benefit of the doubt. Lots of people admitted that they studied WOV anonymously since WOV is open to all viewers even unregistered viewers before they took the plunge and joined. They call themselves Lurkers. :)



I stand corrected as it was revealed by a Admin that Edward J Smith was in fact a sock of a banned poster. :/

Wizard said it would take a day or two to turn Once Dear green. :)

The peasants have spoken and the powers that be once more ignored them. Hooray Democracy.

Hi Bill. I'll count myself as a peasant too. Yes, we spoke: We expressed preferences and opinions and there was some (tongue in cheek ) voting. But be in no doubt that this is no democracy. The entire website and this forum is a private property. We are All guests here. The owners and operators do listen intently and IMHO they are very generous hosts. If you've ever hosted a forum, you will know that sometimes you have to be a benign dictator. I'm as subject to the rules as you are and if you ever want to oust me, feel free to make your case. But surely better that we all clillax and make moderation unnecessary.

Am I the Hillary Clinton of WOV now? ;) :/

Lucky, or good judgement that you posted that as a question and not a statement. If you are the Clinton, then that would make me trump. An implied insult is still an insult.

chuckle.

So. No, Nathan, I don't think you are the Clinton of WOV

I wasn't implying that you are Trump. I was saying that I won the popular vote in the Moderator poll and lost like Hillary Clinton did. That's what I was getting at. ;)

Of course.You won the popular vote. That was never in doubt. If you hadn't proved more popular than the other nominees in that list, you would have reason to feel bad.

Democracy? This is an internet forum run by a friendly dictatorship.

You volunteered for this? You might as well stand outside a soccer
match with a sign on saying you will pay to get kicked between
the wickets.

I know. Glutton for punishment.
Remarkably I already had all the power of secret admin with none of the restrictions, scrutiny and few of the responsibilities. Now I have to behave so much better than before.

Ultimate sucker bet 😀

Honestly, I don't think so.

You seem to be a fairly even-keeled guy. You don't seem like the kind of person who will let your politics or emotions cloud your judgment.

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling we will see very few suspensions from you unless it's necessary.
