I'd like to thank all of you who've shared your thoughts (see http://www.winneronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002131.html
). Publicly or privately I've received feedback from about 2 dozen people and that's awesome!

I'd be remiss if I didn't admit that there were a couple dissenting votes, but the vast majority of you seem to both understand the necessity of taking action and support it.

So, let's make it official: WINNERonline now has a "Play Nice" policy in effect on the message boards. In general that means:

1. Excessively rude, slanderous or hostile posts will be edited and/or deleted.

2. Spam belongs in "CASINO Billboard" and only there.

3. Spam posted outside of "CASINO Billboard" will be moved to "CASINO Billboard" without explanation or warning.

4. Attempts to spam via misrepresentation, fraudulent "I'm a player" postings, or others of that sort will be publicly identified as fakery and moved to "CASINO Billboard".

The goal of our message boards is to create a community of players and industry people where they can share experiences and information related to gambling and the online gambling scene.

We have always gone out of our way to protect our reader's right to speak out and that continues to be a guiding principle. Any message with relevant content is welcome, without prejudice. In return we ask that people recognize and respect the community that they are part of.

Here's another way to look at it: when you use the message boards we are your host and you are a guest. Please conduct yourself accordingly.

Best regards,

Great job Max! I think things will be a little slower to begin with since so many of the posts were slams on one person or another. But when the word gets out the number of posters will pick up.

Again nice going Max!

pity you didnt pay more attention before when the lunatic fringe appeared you wouldnt believe me and now look you are reduced to sounding like teacher max

Hitmob, dear fellow, if you dislike our little corner of the web so much you're more than welcome to pack your kit bag --again!-- and use the exit. But enough of your kvetchy grumbling and bitching!

This may come as a shock to you but I'm not enjoying it, most of the rest of our readers apparently don't enjoy it, and it's all getting a bit tiresome. Feel free to post when you've got something useful to say. Otherwise, stick a sock in it.

The truth hurts haha

Oh man I am staying out of this one.


HITMOB. CAN YOU JUST TRY TO BE NICE?

Everyone else. It is a shame that Max has to waste his time with this crap. I am sure he has other things to do.

Good for you Max!
