Topic: Sanitize the Gambling Board. (Read 356 times)

I am happy that this post has gotten result, in less than 24hrs that this thread was created, the few posts I listed have all been moved by either the topic creators or the moderators.

A look at the first page of the gambling board now gives joy because it looks decent. Expect  one post which is a gambling discussion post.

For people saying that this post need to be in gambling discussion or meta:

I disagree and I have my reasons. If this post was to be in gambling discussion or Meta, no action would have been taken till now. I have to strategically position the post where the victims of the thread are and where others can quickly see and compare.

I have to lock this thread for now because it has served its temporal purpose. I will unlock it when I witness similar situation in the future and will call the posts out in this thread for quick actions.

Yes those words from Yastan in a thread asking to sanitize the gambling section are weird. He shouldn't be disturbed by someone being concerned by the amount of spam here, if he likes this section and interesting discussions about gambling.
And he should read those words from the moderator if he's not aware they are tired of shitposters.


Only blind people or people of bad faith won't see any problem with the amount of garbage posts because as I've already said in the Meta section, 4 to 5 moderators fully dedicated to the gambling sections are missing to cope with the current amount of spam IMO. A sub section without visible signatures could be an alternate solution though.

Sorry mate, I don't mean to sound negative or to try to discredit your genuine interest in seeing that things are done right, but honestly, it not your job to sanitize the gambling board or any other board here, maybe wait until you are made a moderator, it is the job of the moderators to see that every topic started on this forum is done in the appropriate board, and if a topic is started in the wrong board and we feel the moderators missed it, it is our job to report such topics to them, and the beautiful thing is that, the user who started the topic won't even know the topic is reported until the topic is moved to where it should be.

With the above been said, I think the job here is done, six topics you highlighted, four have been moved to the appropriate board, and two, which seems to me some sort of spammy, I believe have been deleted, so I will suggest you lock this topic, so that spammers do not hijack the thread.
Atleast, now, we all know the right board to post our gambling discussion posts, and when we see one here that's not supposed to be here, we now know that the appropriate thing to do is to report it , so kindly lock this thread.
My 2 cent.

or simply report the thread and get it moved to gambling discussions board. no offense but I don't think a thread for "calling out" such threads is needed as members can easily report it. now regarding the threads you mentioned, yeah, I agree that they should be in the gambling discussions board, I was gonna report them to be moved but it seems that three of them are already moved there and the other two have been moved to the trashcan.

This is a good point and a hilarious way to show the OP that he’s guilty of doing exactly what he’s complaining about. Granted it’s a topic about this forum section, so it makes sense. However, I’m sure others posting threads also believe their thread is applicable to this section. As others have stated, you can report to moderator if it bothers you, but I think it would be a difficult challenge to try and move every topic to it’s proper place if you’re picky about it.

As what I can understand in your point is that you want people to post a thread that is not an announcement thread in the gambling discussion and the gambling board should only be used to post only ann threads. If that's your point in this post then this thread of yours should also be in gambling discussion and not here which means you also post a thread here that isn't an ann thread. That's just wrong if you can only post here if you are a real gambler then how would someone know you are a real gambler?. You are even registered on this forum than me and yet you still didn't know report to moderator if you found a post that is of low quality or out of topic

Sometimes those thread starter actually knows on what board does their topic belongs to, since it will be moved by mods anyway later on so its okay for them to do it. Some of them just post on particular board just to make sure that more people will see it other than on other board.

It just funny to see a user who're registered since 2014 still doesn't know what is report to moderator also this topic shouldn't belong to Gambling board since it's actually discuss about the forum, so it should be moved to Meta section. It would be make sense if the @OP create this thread because he have reported those thread but the moderator still not move it to Gambling discussion.

As I checked, the other 3 threads has been moved to gambling discussion and the rest I already report to moderator.

I can say the forum is very large enough and many people don't know where some post are belong to and this required them to go lot of search. Although I found such post all I do is reply to let them know such post doesn't belong the place they are being posted, for instance a newbies who wants to lodge a complainant about gambling site might not know it belongs to discussion section.

I disagree with OP. Some forum users may be former gamblers in the past. And now they want to protect other players from their mistakes. As we know, gambling is for fun and relaxation. But for many people it becomes the meaning of life and destroys the person's personality afterwards. I think every user should be able to warn the gambler about the risks in the casino.

I think the technical discussion of bitcoin should not be compared with the discussion of gambling. there is a dedicated section for creating ANN Thread of gambling sites and section for Discussion about gambling, what does it mean to discuss about gambling? in my opinion discussing about gambling is simply talking about everything that has to do with gambling, these topics you mentioned are talking about gambling, you can see they are talking about gambling, i don't know what you want to be discussed in the gambling section? because in the gambling section there is a discussion about tennis, UFC, soccer (almost all major leagues are discussed), NBA and many things, but it is also necessary to talk about people who win lottery and lose everything, people addicted to gambling ... so these topics you posted have nothing wrong in my opinion


you just need to click the report button until the post is removed or you can also PM the person who created the Thread to move it to the correct section, I think it costs nothing to do that. you can start by send PM to all members who created these threads to move them to the correct section, of course if the moderators don't move the thread early



most people on the forum still fool themselves into thinking that just because a person is a newbie then they don't know anything, but they forget that this classification is only here on the forum and a person can be a professional gambling and come on this forum to be a newbie, but there will be people who think he knows nothing about gambling. Anyway this is a misunderstanding problem that many people have had.

Definitely, OP, use the report function. It's easier and works better than anything else. Threads like these only attract the very users you're complaining about (also I recommend OP self moderates and help clean up the forum by deleting spam).

I do feel reporting, over time, improves the quality of posts from poster. Forcing them to put in more effort. I don't know if that's good in the long run, they're essentially still garbage posts with little to no value to the gambling subforum, just with better spelling and better-constructed sentences...


This is the easiest thing in the world to tell on this forum. Real gamblers post bets. Know the odds, know the markets. It's not even about showing off as a lot of people hide their bet amounts (I do myself). If it's technical assistance as you mention or ANN thread owners, then they're gambling industry people (trust me, that means they were gamblers at one point themselves).

The vast majority of posts in Gambling Discussion aren't either. I've noticed people now talking about odds and betting but it's pretty clear most are just parroting or Googling.


Very fair point but it works both ways and you can also easily find the ones who don't want to make an effort. In my self moderated threads I do reach out to new users to talk about why I delete their posts, very, very few respond. They're clearly just there to spam and not interested in contributing.

I have seen also some quiet numbers of such topics over here and I see no reason calling them out since there a button for reporting such topics to the moderator, so as to move them to the appropriate section which is the gambling discussion.
Most times people post all of those topics ignorantly with paying attention to them or knowing the right place to post them and most times this mistakes are done by less ranked memmebers who obviously are still seeking their ways round the forum and all we need to do is possibly point it out to them and direct the topic to the right thread.

Most times I feel we don't encourage the new members rightly because from our actions, we tend to treat the low ranked memmebers of the forum as if they automatically ought to know everything at once which isn't right.

Who can indicate a person is a real gambler? technical members sometimes drop by here (even if he's not a gambler) at the request of other members to help sort out "probably fair" issues on certain platforms that have been the subject of much debate, especially since it's their ANN thread.

I can't even tell the difference between people who are only involved in sports discussion are bettors or are just passionate about sports talk. However those topics are on the gambling board.

I partially disagree with you, even your post of complaint shouldn't have been here if the same penalties should be meted out on these posts. There can't be perfection here, but it would still be good for posters to maintain any gambling-related posting in the 'Gambling Discussion' area, while a dedicated discussion about casinos/companies should be posted under their threads in the 'Gambling' area. This will limit mistakes, but we should not be deprived of anything related to gambling as I've grown to like them.

I personally feel topics like that needs to be discussed and that it should be posted in the gambling discussion section, but the moderators of that section are deleting those kind of posts in the gambling discussion section, so that is why people are posting it in the gambling section.

I also think... people who wants to discuss gambling topics like that.. will go to a gambling related section of the forum and not to a meta or general section... where everything else is discussed. 

This is a quick act and you have done your part to keep the gambling board neet. That is a great job by you.



What I mean is the later. Which means anyone who doesn't understand what they are saying shouldn't be posting in gambling board.
I cannot suggest that people be restricted from a particular board. What I mean that a non gambler should on their own avoid gambling boards because they may not be able to engage in the conversations there.


English is not the native language of many of us. I don't know how you understood this to be an insult to moderators.  I didn't say moderators are lazy, I said they may be tired. Which means tired of doing same thing everyday which is caused by our carelessness.

Really? Can't believe that.


Not really. It is precisely members of some campaigns who are accused of not knowing about gambling and of writing here to get paid.


Not a chance, LMAO.

I generally disagree with this kind of threads. The gambling board serves its purpose and is very important to this forum today as it has been since practically the beginning of the forum.

I see much less spam than I did when I first joined the forum, and to improve the situation, simply having campaign managers scrutinise what their members post would improve the level. There is no need to think of overly complicated solutions. The problem is that campaigns like 1xBit's are allowed on this forum, and that's the way it is.

Those topics you listed are gambling board topics, although an advice. So far you want to correct people about the topics that should belong to a gambling board, that means some people are posting wrongly to gambling board and moderators are not moving the topics away from gambling board, is there anything like that? I have noticed that moderators are active on gambling board, especially locking old threads and moving reported threads that are off topic from gambling board to the appropriate boards they belong. You can specify if there is any wrong topic that was created and stayed on gambling board but that does not relate to gambling board.

You have a point in what you said here dude, I just have a question about what else you said here that "Non-gamblers can't post on this board" I think you are a bit wrong on this matter. I have been posting here in the forum for a long time but I have not seen or read anything here in this forum with such rules.

Because before I learned to gamble here in crypto gambling on this platform I was already posting in the gambling discussion and on this board. Although I won't question the ones you listed that you think shouldn't be on this board.
