As a courtesy to the OP I had a careful look at this thread.
However, as the result my initial reasoning, input from other mods, several requests by other posters to have the thread deleted, the volume of Stars threads that we already have in NVG in which the OP can share his thoughts, the poor timing of this topic, and other related reasons, I have decided to keep the thread in the NVG graveyard.
I appreciate your consideration yet have to disagree for the following reasons.
1) The thread was unique in that it discussed upcoming changes; not past changes that no amount of whining or crying about can alter.
2) It was expressed as a "View" and not as "News" and is poker related.
3) As a long time players advocate I felt that sharing my views about the future would help people prepare if any of my "views" came to fruition.
4) It allowed discussion ahead of time about the pros and cons of these policy shifts to offer Pokerstars constructive feedback.
5) It allowed other posters to offer their opinions about upcoming changes.
It's true that some people wanted it deleted as they never imagined that the people at Stars could possibly have considered some of the upcoming changes that I believe will happen. This is absurd thinking as nearly every possible idea related to Poker has been floated around PS HQers. Other posters also put forth their "views" on possible upcoming changes.
I didn't offer any endorsements or negative feedback to the changes I think will happen as that's not my job and I certainly wasn't trolling as I can virtually guarantee that some of the suggestions I put forth will be implemented. I understand that Stars likes to announce changes on their own schedule (or a Russian hackers) but this is of no concern to me... and it shouldn't be of concern to the moderators of this forum.
