Perhaps the only thing I see gambling addiction topic being repeated is to complete ones signature post quota for the week because literally everything that is repeated could be discussed in one complex topic concentrated on addiction and of course mods don't just move them because they want it's either it's not much of quality or it's just a random experience that's repeated too much of times.

I sure before moving mods do read the thread.

Repeated posts on gambling addiction should not be enough reason why mods should move topics on gambling addiction to the off topics board except for low value threads that doesn't suit in the gambling discussion board. If there is any repeated thread on gambling addiction, the best is to lock the thread instead of moving them to off topics. I'm not against mods moving gambling threads to off topics board inasmuch as there is enough reason why it should not belong to the gambling discussion section. The thing is just that for regular posters in the gambling discussion section, they should be able to identify between a thread that can possibly be moved to the off topics board by mods and avoid making replies on such threads so that they won't be affected in their signature campaign post counts. I think this issue have been deliberated before in the past.

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? Tongue

@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.

I don't think the moderator moved the thread just because it talks about gambling addiction, I've seen many threads about that in gambling discussion and the moderator didn't move it. It's either low value or too many repeated discussions.

The another thing is, we don't really know if it's moved by the moderator or the @OP move it by himself.

It doesn't need to have gambling addiction sub since gambling discussion board can fit it.

But I also disagree with you that people are posting somewhere to complete signature campaign weekly posts. All members that are in such signature campaigns also are posting to complete weekly signature posts. If all the campaigns on this forum suddenly stopped, you will understand what I am saying. You will see that those that love discussing about bitcoin on this forum that are on wall observer will be the only people that will continue to be active.

What I think is that it should not be called off-topic as child board under gambling. It can be given a better name like 'other discussions'. Which means it will be about the discussion of other gambling related matters that does not fit in the main gambling board, gambling discussion, games and rounds and investor-based games.

Gambling addiction topic is vital on gambling board since this is the reality outcome for some gamblers. I knew some topic is just a cycle but most of it is due to the recent experience of the posters.

What do you think? Especially for regular poster on gambling board.
