I'm not sure that you've thought this through. Or at least I hope you haven't, because if you have and still think this makes sense, I'm not sure what to say.
Here's how I understand things, and if I have anything wrong, I'm happy to be corrected.
Generally speaking, players are being paid in a timely fashion. In fact, this is the only serious complaint I've seen recently about someone not able to get their money.
So we have this one case, and the issue, from what I understand, is that Paypal has closed his account. Not Global - Paypal. Now, of course this is an issue that Global should be making an effort to work on with him, since apparently there is no other way to get him his money at the current time. But from what I understand in this thread, they
have been working on it. In fact, as of a week ago, it appeared the problem may have been solved. Unfortunately, yesterday OP posted that Paypal has closed his account again. Once again, not Global, but Paypal.
As a result of this, you think we should pull all of Global's advertising less than 15 hours after OP posted this update. None of us know the full story. Has OP caused any of these issues? Is this all down to incompetence at Paypal? Did Global **** something up? A combination of all three? None of us know. Does it really make sense to you that we'd be pulling their advertising right now?
If that was our criteria, we'd have no major advertisers left, as companies like Party and Stars would tell us where to go after we pulled their advertising each time a player brought forward an issue that didn't get resolved to their satisfaction in a couple of weeks.
Is this a serious issue? Of course it is. One I'll continue to monitor. But it also could be much more complicated than any of us understand. Unfortunately, we've seen many circumstances where players had an issue with a site that never has been resolved to their satisfaction - much of the time, it became apparent that the player had done something wrong, but other times, it wasn't so clear. We don't pull advertising every time that happens. Doesn't mean we'd never do it, of course.
All that said, if you still think this is worthy of a thread asking us to pull their advertising, I'm not here to tell you that you can't. I think you'd be wasting your time, and such an idea would be hugely premature, but that's up to you. However, it wouldn't belong in NVG, but in About the Forums.

Yes, I'm sure there's a long list of things that should be not in the least bit surprising, that would shock you. Given that I've got pretty much no history of deleting reasonable on-topic criticism, the only reason I don't find your shock surprising is because, well, it's you. Hopefully you can get over the shock that his post is not only not deleted, but responded to.

No. Rich is a mod in the Internet Poker forum only so he is able to edit the PPA's Poker Action Plan thread, and this is a child forum of that one which automatically makes him a moderator of this forum. It's basically in name only, and he has nothing to do with the forum.
