    Hi

    To get moderated again, takes quite an effort. We will usually delete a post and let you know, so if you got moderated, then there has to be a reason.

    I am not aware of you, but if you are still not sure, if you broke any of our rules, feel free to contact me privately and I can check into it.

    Thank WGTicon.  In fact, you can spell it out on here what I did wrong to get moderated again.  I don't care.  Go for it.  I'm still waiting for CS to tell me too.

    I was looking at a program that is available, but I had to question if it was legal. I asked a WGT moderator and was told that if I were caught using it I would be booted from WGT.

    A few weeks later I  contacted the same moderator with a name that I've been told is using the program ( told by the user ). The moderator told me that he was not aware of the program.no further questions asked.

    Why can't we assist in policing and cleaning up our problems. I have the utmost  respect for this moderator, but I'm surprised that he dropped it flat

    My posts are under moderation and I don;t know why. I don't really care either as it's not really much of an imposition and I even know someone at wgt is reading them. 

    The really daft thing is after I have a post in a thread I can then say anything I want in an edit to it, without moderation. The sense in that escapes me.

    Think that's been tried a few times...names, with proof, have been mentioned on here...usually worst that happens is a short suspension.  Even cheaters and abusers buy stuff in the pro shop, and wgt won't boot paying customers. I think if people are warned about sand baggers, cheaters, bullies, etc. (with accompanying proof), then it doesn't equate to a kangaroo court...more like a public service announcement.

    Not sure CT, I know some players who were caught boasting about cheating did get the boot permanently - and damned good job.

    Then there are some multi's who do seem to get around it somehow and I do admit WGT is reactive rather than being proactive, Maybe some households genuinely to have their registered cat or dog playing, or one of their 50 relatives who live there.

    Sandbaggers is a tough one, so if playing for money, all earnings should count towards tiering up.

    I have come to accept that cheating is more widespread than I thought, or maybe all the leader boards prove players are just that good (lower tiers) when they take up the game.

    And some players just love gifting mates and mentor hacks when they are Champions.

    Or some players just learn the system from day one and do not tier up by still play for money in skins.

    Then some play from internet cafes.......enough said.

    I do not envy the mods, but I reckon in 30 minutes I could isolate at least 30 players who are dubious. Hang them in the forums or let the mods decide?

    I, who have been here since last July ... and merely a legend who actually gives WGT money for clubs, balls, CC passes, etc., was never UNMODERATED. Why? I see flamebait and trolling  nonsense all day in these forums. Explain that ...

    Right now, I'm beyond caring. It just gives you folks more to do.

    Cheers

    Couple of good strong RG finishes in your immediate history YJ, I never went delving after that.  Well deserved tier move that if may say - congrats.

    Jim is on my friends list and I've had the pleasure of his company in a few Alt games. Other than his far superior long game, short game, putting, ability to out drive me and excellent course management...we about equal, I'd say..:)

    ps...Jim is also a hell of a nice guy...come to think of it, I have no idea why he's even on my friends list...my criteria for low standards is gonna take a hit.

    Thanks, Jim. Wasn't anything special getting there but I have to give Oneeyedjohn a nod. He's our CC owner and were it not for him and his aggressive CC tournament schedule, I would still be looking for the necessary number of ranked rounds.

    Playing alone blows, IMO, and without a decent incentive to do so, AS was the staple for me instead of the ranked rounds. John provided that and the sheer number of strong golfers in the club makes it an achievement, placing in one of the tournaments. Playing solo isn't so bad in a tough club like Cosa Nostra. Always guys to chase and that's what got me over the hump.  :-)
