Topic: How would the forum feel/react if Casinos were banned like Mixers? - page 3. (Read 459 times)

If you define "interest" is the discussion or conversation without looking at the traffic, then you're correct banning casinos will not make the forum boring. But, it doesn't mean they will explore and advertise Bitcoin tools, some users might creates drama and trolling around since they don't care anymore with their reputation. Why should they need to being serious and protect their reputation when they will not get paid a good amount of money anymore? another thing scammer will increase since they will take a loan without collateral and disappeared.

You can expect the forum will be like this board Serious discussion.

I don't understand why we need to end the forum, it can still grow, especially there are many institutions trying to adopt Bitcoin.

It is not a question of feelings and even less so because "the forum" is not an entity that can have them. I don't think that what one or the other may feel can be united if that were to happen.

Feelings aside I think we can talk about reactions. It would most likely accelerate the trend we see. Less posts, less traffic, and less discussion. There probably would be a sudden sharp drop the moment the ban came into force, which would be almost like banning signature campaigns in practice, since there is hardly anything left that is not casinos, and a campaign that just left us states that:

One day it could happen.

Maybe theymos is not young.

If I were in my fifties and was theymos know the forum funds are over 1,000,000 I may consider ending the forum .

I have no idea who theymos is or where he lives but I do know the forum has a decent amount of coin

it is pretty much a decent business because a lot of btc was hodl.

So when and how does theymos exit?

Maybe that should be a discussed topic for the future.

I know you are joking, but that is scary because signature campaigns and signature campaign spaces make up the livelihood of so many forum users. They are also fun for users and bring users inner peace because they are doing what they love to do, which is get paid to talk about something they are very passionate about on the internet. Many people come here with the intention to make money online instead to learn first and then make the money.

It might happen in the future, once it did, probably, forum's activity will go down drastically knowing that most campaigns are casino related.
Or once theymos decided that, maybe just ban all signature campaigns or disable signatures spaces.   

Yes, the forum definitely has feelings. Despite how many CHAT-GPT posts there may be, there are still several people here with very real emotions and feelings that will react negatively to casino's being banned. This is so important to discuss, and I feel it may have been overlooked when Mixers were banned? I can't say for certain because I was away for that time and didn't read anything/haven't caught up on anything since it happened.

And I agree with you again, where the answer to that question is heavily self-discovered. Everyone might have a different answer because of how intertwined casino's are into this forums user's daily lives.

I disagree with you about the forum becoming more boring without casinos. It will force users to explore and advertise trusted bitcoin tools. There are countless creative trusted tools out there that don't have signature campaigns going. There's some guy with a HYK (Hide your Keys) Avatar and idk if its a campaign or not, but you get what I mean. No casinos =/= boring.


There are definitely veteran members of this site who just sit back and watch in disgust about how true this is. We should look to make the people that believed first happy they were believers and not crazy. One of our goals should be to give early adopters inner peace that their trust in satoshi wasn't in vein, ya know?

probably frustrated, also there could be a drastic decrease in activity in the forum, a lot of people who are currently active and posting on a daily basis are in a signature campaign that is being run by gambling casinos. so if casinos are banned from the forum, obviously, the signature campaigns they are running will close or be banned too and if there is no or very little signature campaign to join, I am certain a lot of people will be more reluctant to stay active in the forum if they cannot join the remaining signature campaign that is left.

How will the forum feel? I probably don't know. Does the forum have feelings? 
 
How will members react to that? I can only answer for myself. 
 
What will be the positive outcome? 
It will result in the forum being more boring than a lot of members have already pictured it to be due to a lack of high-paying campaigns. Some members are no longer as active and productive as they used to be.

Title.

Only hypothetically speaking, because that would literally never happen in a million years.

Right?
