Topic: Sanitize the Gambling Board. - page 2. (Read 356 times)

This might be better in gambling discussion if you want to push attention to it, or Meta.

On the topic, I think it's wrong to say that this board is for people who are "gambling experts". Rather this board is for threads that center around official discussions instead of "What do you think" topics, which I do agree with (I'm only disagreeing with the way OP said it). It's like separating the discussions between official and non-official ones. With the number of threads made though it might just be for the best to report the thread to bring attention to it, or personally PM the OP as others has said to move the topics.

I also saw some of the topics were already moved to gambling discussion btw.

 It's not about the mods doing their work but rather people can do it by themselves without the mod's intervention in the first place, so why don't they?

I'm sorry to say that but this kind of answer is laughable. If you don't know what is (and what should be) a real gambling forum, just look at the Wizard of Vegas Forum for example. The 10% worst posts there are better than the 10% best posts here.
Everyone knows that people are posting here just because their signature campaign requires to do it or because they know their shitposts won't be spotted into the piles of spam. Most of real gamblers from Bitcointalk don't even try to post here anymore. And at least 2 topics on the matter have already been opened in the Meta section, even moderators are complaining about the amount of spam.

Several members advise to always open threads in self-moderate mode here to prevent spam.

I agree with the OP about this issue but He should create this in the gambling discussion if he points out that gambling is for gambling announcements only, sometimes I am confused whenever I drop by the gambling section to see a discussion on gambling topics which should be an all announcement topic if the creator of the thread sees his thread created on the gambling board he should take the initiative to move it, I'm sure he will drop by on topics he created.

I don't think the board should be restricted to only gamblers, but I agree that if you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't be posting. I feel like alot of the posts we see in the Gambling section (not the gambling discussion, just the gambling section) is only there because some of us managers are asking for 5-10 posts a week in gambling campaigns. People want to make money so they will go outside of their comfort zone in order to do so.

You and others should report these posts so that they can be moved to the appropriate section. You could also pm the OPs of these threads and link them to this thread so that they may see the discussion.

Technically this thread doesn't belong in gambling as well. Maybe Meta or gambling discussion.

Though some the topics highlighted in the OP belongs to me, I wont try to deny that I don't know that those topics really belong to the gambling discussion board, but i really did not care as both boards seems to be the same based on other kinds of posts i see there that no one talks or says anything about moving.

But if ya all check my recent gambling related post topics, you discover that I've started posting them in the discussion board where they really belong.

My personally take on this is that, we should not blame those making gambling discussion topics in the gambling board, it is both our individual responsibility and that of the moderators to correct such mistakes, we as community members can not move topics that is not ours, but we can remind the poster that he or she posted on the wrong board and should move it, but most times, we too fail to do this and the moderators for some reasons don't move the topic.

But then, thank goodness we have this topic now, hopefully, this will serve as a reminder to all posters here to know the right kind of posts to make in the gambling board , and also the right kind of posts to make in the gambling discussion board.


By the way... gambling has no technicalities that any one can not understand, it is wrong to compare this board to bitcoin technical board. my personal opinion.


EDIT: All topics mentioned in the OP belonging to me have been moved to the gambling discussion board, i will still search for others and move them appropriately.

that would be the necessary thing to do. also, sometimes i commented that the topic be moved to gambling discussion board.

on this note, will this thread be considered as serious gambling matter? because from OP's statement above, this board should have ANN thread of casinos and serious gambling matter. because if not, this thread should also be moved to the gambling discussion board. 

Definitely not the point of this section.
But argument is valid that those topics are somehow irrelevant. As I remember it correctly, Gambling section before contains ANN threads of projects wherein players could check new gambling platforms they may try as well as to check for feedbacks of that platform. General topics about gambling, would be for gambling discussion as also mentioned by other users in this topic, as the word discussion also suggest. But at the end of the day we have moderators in this forum. They',d be the one who will move and seggregate topics from one another if it is reall inappropriate or irrelevant. So let them be for now.

Never make a standard for yourself. This could be an insult to the moderators such as teaching them what to do;they definitely know their jobs for years.

1. If you found a thread that is not gambling related for you, report it. I don't think that moderators are going to be tired moving them out
2. don't reply to those board
3. ANN thread as still there, doesn't matter if they go to page 2, you can go and search for them if you are a looking for some update on the site

And this topic has been discussed many times here in the community, but with the growth of crypto base casinos, thee will be gamblers here that are going to post such topics and threads.

Can you define what a real gambler is? It's because gambling is very simple, no rules, just extreme luck and you just need money to play.

And you want us to discuss every time using jargon terms? Can you also list them?

If you feel like threads does not belong there, (just like any other topic), used the report button.

You don't need to be an "expert" in gambling just to be on that board.

The gambling section needs to be limited to the ANN threads while we can discuss anything in the gambling discussion sections but these days i see some discussion topics in the Gambling section which just mess up the thread.
Also, due to this reason, some threads are being reported and instead of being moved, they are being deleted completely. You may find which gambling (and other) threads are deleted on this link https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

I also disagree, and you can't compare it to Bitcoin Technical Discussion board, Lol. And that board is heavily moderated so a off topic post for sure will be deleted.

As for the gambling and gambling board, anyone can post and make a thread that can be related to gambling. If you think they are not, then report it to moderators, simply as that.

Our life is gambling per se, so all facets are covered, from those topic you mentioned to everything.

That is correct - the moderators are doing their job and they do it well, they keep a stricts check on the post and the threads.
So don't worry about it and relax - if you really want to report hit the button.
There are a lot of smart people like yourself who have some good suggestion for the moderators

I have seen quite a few numbers of such topics popping up on the gambling board instead of the gambling discussions board, u don't know if the creators of such topics do that deliberately or out of share ignorance of the appropriate sections that suit such discussions if you see such topics you can make use of the report to moderator's bottom so that such threads will be moved to the right sections.

I won't want to call anyone out since the bottom solve such issues is active in the forum some members may not even know how to move a thread they created to another board so even though you call the attention, it still ends up as a waste of time.

I don't think I'm going to agree on this. Gambling board is not only for gamblers. Gambling is having different areas that if you don't know one area you can know the other area because it is major in sports activities like indoor or outdoor games. Someone can have understanding with soccer and not boxing. The area is wide to discuss but I agree with you that some topics don't need to find way to this board  

I agree, those who open threads in the gambling section, some posters are not aware that they have posted it in the gambling announcement instead of the gambling discussion I am part of these posters   I only become aware of that after a day or two but still moved it to the gambling discussion, might have been forgotten by the others who started those threads that should have been in the discussion board, we should make aware of this by sending a message or reporting the thread.

You can use the report button for each of those threads so that they will be moved to the Gambling Discussion.
Or if they won't be moved there, then the mods will just have to lock those threads and they will no longer be accessible. I don't think they're tired, it's just that there could be tons of reports that they're catering and all of it are on the queue.

Gambling board is a board that is highly dedicated to gambling. It is a board where people that are not gamblers cannot post because they won't understand the jargon of gambling. You need to be a real gambler to post here. This board is like bitcoin technical board where people that doesn't know bitcoin technical cannot post.

What is supposed to be in this board is the ANN thread of casinos and serious gambling matters. But recently I have been seeing gambling discussion topics being created in the gambling board.
Moderators may be tired of moving these topics.

I have listed below some topics in the first page of gambling board that are supposed to be gambling discussion. If you see such topics we can call them out in this thread to see if they belong here or not.

• Parents And Their Children In Gambling..
• Question to players: what does really drive you crazy in an online casino?
• A Nigerian Man Won $51,000 in Sports Betting With a Bet of Just $1.072 
• Which Game Have You Won The Most From And How Much In Total?
• After a good gambling run 
• Compound Gambling Race.
