    hey, hey no need to bring my name in vain:)

     

    But, as others have stated, sometimes I left threads go with hope that something will come out of it. Other times, the threads just continue on without a purpose and only there to add oil to the fire.

    Trying to call out players on the forums will not work. I always say that if you believe someone is breaking the rules, then please contact us privately with proof.

    If you have a question about something I have decided, such as locking a thread, then please ask it in private.

    +10 to MB, Shoe and Icon!

    I like the way these issues are handled, allowing for many opinions while respecting fairness and privacy.

    It's not censorship but ownership. WGT owns this forum and has rights and duties arising from that.

    We are the customers, right, but we should deem ourselves in their premises and act accordingly. And whatever we do, never forget it's not a ballroom or stadium with limited access but a merely unlimited internet site.

    MB + others are fully right with what has been said about this not being a place where we court people and all that. In this case however we are not speaking about some vague accusations, started by any 3rd person.

    We are talking about someone who stupidly enough drew too much attention to him/her self (for a second time) within a couple of months. He even admitted to multi accounting (in this case creating an additional account with the only purpose to gift balls). I don't mean to continue any public court, but if his accounts will be around much longer I suppose it is ok for anyone to do the same.....(not)

    So, I don't expect any outcome of wgt investigation in this topic (or any other). I just expect these accounts to disappear very quickly. (Yes, I know he'll just start over again)

    R.

    PS And yes, I admit I found the mentioned topic very entertaining reading. Seldom I've seen someone dig his own grave in this way. Off to the tees now...

    I suppose you were right in closing that thread Icon....

    Now saying that....   For the integrity of the game...  we all should know who is cheating the system. I'm not saying that the main subject in that thread was cheating the system, but the eveidence we read was a bit against to the people in question... Just Saying.

    One thing that opened my eyes was when one of the people said.... he can't remember and might have done it for free balls.....  Or something like that....   this is saying that a new account was started... and dead against to Wgt Rules.

    I'm not really fussed with people starting new accounts....  the main thing (I think) is to have a bit of fun.... If your not having fun in the higher levels... then,why not start a new account.... As long as they are not abusing the system to make more credits from this great game.... and to basically shaft everybody else.

    There is a post on that thread that I was miss quoted....  a post to a reply that I made that I didn't say but my profile name was used.....  this is more damaging to me than a new account.....

    Just saying

    Yes as i said us "customers" should be able to decide what and when we want to write in the forums etc as long as"No rules Are broken"

    That is the whole point of having the damn(that"s not swearing") forums isn"t it so we can air our views and opinions. Any sort of censoreship leads us down a very rocky road but again as long as one stays within the guidelines,etc.

    +1 BG!

    As far as this is concerned, there's not a "should" but "is", no downhill road but Freedom of Speech, well executed.

    I did ask you in private and you still would not answer.

    I will admit, you do look good TALKING about how you protect everyone but when it gets to the nut cutting, you ALWAYS protect those who kiss your feet!

    And that's ALL you protect.

    At least that's what you have ALWAYS shown me. I see nothing different.
