I believe the credibility of your gambling list was definitely heavily influenced by the fact that the thread had been around for quite a long time, and as a result had accumulated a decent amount of views & replies.
Starting a new thread will take away from this, and lead to you unfairly sabotaging your rightful credibility.
Why not just edit your original thread completely starting from scratch?
After relaxing and watching the latest episode of GoT I have decided you are correct, thank you for the voice of reason.
Additionally I shall cease my current antagonisms and restore the list to an a-political state, I cannot expect casinos to abstain from strong political point of views if I do not do so myself. In cases that I find extreme, eg the blog posts by micrea of MPEx I shall simply place an asterix next to said entries. There willbe no fouls simply for a different view point of my own, the same for casinos (ie satoshipoker) run by unpleasant people.
A difference of opinion or a personal dislike is not a good reason to invalidate the list, which should only be for honest casino operations and warning players against scams in the most literal sense.
Regarding lottery and wager sites, well we have recently seen how something good can turn to shit rather quickly with betsofbitco.in, bitbet.is and bitlotto.
Due to the nature of these sites (holding player funds for X amount of time(, i can only see one way forward:
* sites with an outstanding record and operation time of ~6 months shall make the list, no asterix, italics, bold etc.
* new sites which have taken all steps within reason to validate themselves but require an event to complete shall also be added, but with an asterix noting that this site has not completed a full round and been verified and or has not been running for longer than 6 moths with an outstanding record.
With these two points In mind I strongly recommend players only betting what they can afford to lose regardless of the bets outcome and arrive at their own conclusion for the honesty of the site. Many non casino operations have had to step through similar hoops of gaining players trust.
So I shall be re-opening "vintage mems list" trolls have at it, it is and will be a good lesson for me to be able to continue doing something I feel has worth despite a few vocal detractors.
consider this thread purely for spitballing ideas for streamlining the new revision of mems list and of course trolling me.
