The only valid reason I could think of when replying to a certain thread especially to gambling related thread is when there is someone who seeks for a technical issues on their end such as withdrawal,deposits, vpn as well as some suggestion for the site's improvements. Other than that, I see no reason to make an effort to write something that's been repeatedly recycled.
Sure, maintaining a regular reply to keep the topic on the front page of the section is important for exposure, but the exposure would be meaningless if it were filled with nonsensical and repeated replies that add no value to the specific issue. Everyone has a right for freedom of speech, yes, but not the extent that it is being abused.
I 95% agree. I also think it is important to talk about the actual things going on in the site (casino or sportbook does not matter). I think in the past,,, sharing big wins, sharing experiences, sharing feelings and general feedback as a user. Like all the things you mention, the only way to understand this and give constructive feedback is to actually be a user.
When I choose a casino to play at, and I see either happy
users or users who care to give constructive comments and not just shilling for no reason, believe me I will be attracted to it. Spam and repetitive non-helpful posts will make me suspicious.
(I think some issues should be kept to site support though)
I guess not everybody agrees that the forum has gone down in quality because people spam ANN threads with "free speech" but as you say there should be a line, to prevent this abuse. Also it is up to us users to also report and help mods clean up
