If you're referring to the recent thread that was moved to off-topic after a few replies, if everyone had looked at the author more closely, they would have realized that the thread was not sincere.
I saw @Helena Yu's post, and he is very correct in saying that the OP made up his "gaming addiction."
Folks, read my post.
@OP was never post in Gambling board before, he mostly post in his local board, Bitcoin discussion and Economy. But, after he applying for casino based review campaign and signature campaign, then he started to post in Gambling board.
So, how can be a non gambler is getting addicted to gambling?
@OP is just trying to post in gambling board, in order to convince the manager, he even create a fake story.
There are indeed many such threads, some very useful, with different interpretations, but repeating the same words about help or your remorse does not bring anything to the one who creates the thread. There was simply no point in chewing over the same advice or feeling sorry for the fictitious "gaming addict" in this thread.
I’m not aware of this topic but I saw many topic in the past that even the general discussion for gambling was being moved to off-topic if the discussion was already in general perspective on gambling.
This is the example topic:
Is gambling a waste of time and money?Gamblers should have cautiousness at the back of their mind And many more, I’m not saying that the topic above is good however they are still on-topic on gambling board rather than off-topic.
@oshondy suggestion to create others sub is good place to move this topic.
As title stated, what do you think about the idea of creating a sub board/child board on gambling board section dedicated for gambling addiction instead of moving it to off-topic.
To be honest , i think that we dont need something like that , even i guess that 30% or i dont know maybe more have a gambling addiction for bets or casino things.
If something like that what you asking for coming , every other Board will be coming with the same idea for there.
On top of that , that would be a lot of nuts on work for the mods.
I think that one off topic board is enough for all things that belongs nowhere.
So my answer is that it should be as it is right now and was always.
I’m confused about this and honestly I don’t have any idea about the difficulty of adding new sub in the forum.
I agree with you if this will really give difficulty to the mods. I hope mods will chime in on this.
Thanks everyone for your opinions to the topic. Criticism is highly appreciated.
