Shane, even if the network is making changes without telling you guys, why don't you pass that information along to the players as soon as it becomes available to you?

The first I usually know about any changes is when its posted here, when I question the network management they will confirm changes but never give details. I then come in and confirm what I know. I have requested to be informed when changes are put in place as well as when software updates are going live and what they will entail but neither request has been fulfilled yet.

We dont seem to be alone in this, I have seen the Intertops rep post something similar about not receiving any notification.

Well that's pretty mind boggling if it's true, since that means that the management at the site is finding things out AFTER the players.

And if this is a site wide issue, then why don't all of the skins get together and demand better communication from the network? Do you have no leverage?

Surely improving communication would help your customer base not to feel quite so pissed off, and the network as a whole would grow if people weren't bitching so much. Seems like a win-win. Customers get better info, network grows.

It appears that they dont consider these tweaks to Fair Play important enough to be notifying us all. Which is obviously ridiculous, but they seem to think that no one really notices these changes.

Growth doesn't seem to be a big focus for the network, otherwise they would have caved into pressure and either never put Fair Play in place or removed it completely by now. As you point out there are so many other things that are causing grief for players, just removing Fair Play would at least take away one stressor and help the network as a whole rebound.

If the network controls fair play, why would it be affecting Lock. Lock is segregated from the network.

Lock isn't segregated from the network, players at some levels are shared between Lock and other rooms.

The network wont go into detail with me what those levels are but they have said that there is definitely still some sharing of players.

The answer is the smaller stakes and tournaments are shared, everything else is not.

First part pretty much answers my question about today's change to the MTT schedule. Thanks.

This... From an Intertops perspective.

LOL at Lock saying segregation is good for Lock poker players. Nothing like using words to convey an entirely different meaning or agenda while hiding the actual problem or issue. Kinda reminds me of when the media talks about gun violence in Chicago. When did it start being gun violence and stop being GANG violence...lol.

Anyways, back to "segregation" and Lock's "alleged" care for its players and general poker ecology. Please Lock, we are not as dumb as you think...lets call "segregation" technology what it really is..."We Can't Pay" technology.

"We Can't Pay" technology is a system set up by Lock to ensure Lock players don't lose money to players on other revo skins. If that were to happen Lock would be liable to said skins and thus have to settle up with those skins for those skins covering their own winning players. Lock clearly doesn't want to be on the hook to any of these skins. Its better they are just on the hook to Joe Blow, who it can just ignore and string along for 6 months before potentially paying out.
