Time to remove Lock Poker from having their own subforum under internet poker.

Please put a sticky in the main internet forum where people can post and track if/when they have received their cashouts.

Juicy/Lock have joined the ranks of Minted/Everleaf in their non-payouts. It is beyond time pretending that the funds exist to pay the players.

Lol at another thread that's untrue and oblivious to the actual situation its commenting about. Have you read either of the 3 cash out threads? Cash outs are slow, not non- existent.

I admit it gets old shane wearing his dewey, cheetum and howe shirt laughing as he types in chasing it up , top priority , or the next batch next week. all of which are obv lies unless you count 2 checks a batch and 6-7 month check times .farther and farther behind sick tbh.

just de-mod shane so Lock have no editorial powers, and leave this subforum here for reference imo

this. If we get rid of this subforum, the main forum will become full of spam.

It needs to be made very clear upon accessing the subforum that lock is not a safe place to put your money and that the forum exists for current lock players to discuss their situation and see what progress each other have made etc.

Even though the majority of the threads in this forum are about locks inability to pay players and anyone who does any research on lock will realize their problems, there should really be an official notice from 2+2 upon accessing the forum. Maybe something like what pops up when you try to access the transfer thread, maybe some giant bold red letters.

They're ridiculously slow and apparently completely arbitrary (people getting cash outs in 4 days while others have been waiting 6+ months). Lock certainly shouldn't be congratulated for their payouts.

It isn't really necessary. Shane has been very careful about doing any editing or nuking of late.

The other mods are able to see when a mod has done something ("post deleted by Mat Sklansky"...that type of thing). Basically, Shane has not touched a single thread or post at all since the changes were made on here with the removal of the banners and new rules that he isn't allowed to promote, etc (if he actually has edited or deleted something in here then I missed it...but I'm pretty sure he has not). If he sees something that is spammy or needs mod attention he reports it to other mods and they get to use their judgment.

I mean, we can de-mod Shane as well and I would not really be opposed to that. But it would change absolutely nothing as to the current structure in here since he has been very good about not using any of his editing power anymore.

I think this is a great idea, and it would be a very appropriate step for 2+2 to take given that Lock hasn't followed through with the agreement they made when the advertisements were removed over a month ago.

In the past, 2+2 showed Lock ads, and people probably deposited based on 2+2's credibility. After Mason/Mat reached an agreement with Lock, the neutral stance was justified. But now it seems that the interests of poker players everywhere would be best served by providing some kind of warning.

Time to stop posting OP

Do not, never ever, delete all the info about Lock. Google loves you and so will players that happen to come across the threads in this sub-forum.

It would also affect page ranking a little since 2+2 is ranking very well for "lock poker" but that's not really related.

Lol this guy is insta pro lock when anything anti lock appears.

I agree with Bob on the editing part.

I've read plenty of threads in this forum and "deleted by Mike Haven" or "deleted by bobo fett" (almost always spam type crap or insane trolling I bet) outweigh Shane's deletions.

I don't think he has time to worry about editing or deleting posts, he's overwhelmed with more pressing stuff and has been for eternity.

Shane is useless as can be. Op in upper thread was told would be getting 10k not suspected in any wrong doing and op asked when would be getting payment. Shane directs him to same security op has been writing to in regard to supposed chip dump and makes no reference to the 10k he promised would be paid.

OP was told if he answered securities enquires it should be cleared up in no time but has still not answered the core question on how he is related the account he was accused to dumping to. So he certainly wasnt not suspected in any wrong doing, he was accused of chipdumping based on evidence that was uncovered.

And he was told on Friday that his cashout could even be in the current batch going out that day or early this week. So that window hasnt even closed yet.

not sure why people still play on lock anyway. i did up until the point of waiting over a month for a WU to even get past the "requested" phase. all of the sites are struggling and going through a hard time, but lock is even worse than the rest of them. they face the same problems as all of the other sites yet are dragging ass behind them. i'd just like a clear answer of why lock is doing so much worse than the other sites. i know they claim it's because they have more players but that's a load of bs. if anything more players = more $ coming in to use to push the withdraws through.

Well, Jen Larson would say....

Obviously them "few weeks" have past by now.

Does anyone else realize that payment times are slow because they are waiting for money to come in from rake? It has nothing to do with payment processors. This is how sites react when they are on the verge on going under.

If they were on the verge of going under, though, paying out all previous months' GfG promotions etc. makes 0 sense whatsoever.. they should've ran with it all then.

Rake is irrelevant as the actual money in the pots (and player accounts) are effectively coming from the same pool of funds as where the rake is going into.. We 'need' more deposits to increase the total funds of the network -> nearing us towards our cashouts!

Maybe Lock work on a "we pocket 50% of the depositors funds, and we use the other 50% to go towards cashouts"

But then how would he be able to talk to the cashout team and then follow up?

Jen Larson and co are straight up criminals

Going under due to a failed business plan is a lot different than being a crook. It is very possible that Jen Larsen has every intention to stay legit, but with all the bad press and lack of deposits; going under may be inevitable. It is common for companies to go under for reasons other than thievery.

Agreed, but then it's still kind of "thievery" since we've all been lied to for months by Shane etc. in this case.

Good point!
