You got that warning because a third party thought you'd gone too far and the mods agreed with him.

It didn't bother me because I don't actually think that badly of you that I believed what you'd said. (Plus, the chances of the situation arising are pretty well nill.)

There is, you must realise, a significant difference between calling someone an idiot and suggesting you'd happliy watch them burn to death.

No, it was other forum members who were sick to death of 'rigged' threads popping up every five minutes.

And on the subject of warnings/bannings, I suspect you are putting yourself in line for one or both by starting yet another poll thread when the mods have just merged one.

I can promise you that if I started insulting normal posters I'd get booted off just as fast as anyone else.



As is so typical of your lumpen behaviour you still haven't explained why you feel my poll is nonsense.

The reason it stays and yours goes is almost certainly because Jelsoft did not anticipate merging two threads, both of which had polls.
Who are you to label people ******s if they want to question Online Poker after extraordinary run's of terrible beats they ve had. For example like the guy who just got merged for questioning his "Bad Luck" after he recieves his rakeback.

Reasoned responses did you say?

Let's hear you give a reasonable response as to why you so aggressively defend Online Poker as if it were your own business?

I ll make you a deal I ll explain why I think your poll is nonsense if you answer my questions about what you do for a living and whether or not you even play Online Poker. Post some hands you ve played recently.

At least your poll show's that around 70% are saying there's rigging going on.

Really, could those forum member's be the likes of Monteroy,qpw,Spadebidder,Dmoogle by any chance.

I started a new poll because I want to see the result after a couple of days.

There is no good reason whatsoever to delete that poll.

I didn't ask if you've ever received a warning.

I doubt he's recieved any warning here at all.
Link to post out of curiosity?

And the business between qpw and 2+2 is between qpw and 2+2. Whether he violated their rules or not is up to them, as this place is not a democracy.

Lots of people think that freedom of speech applies to forums. It doesn't.

This forum, to the dismay of the stupid and ignorant, generally has a low tolerance for stupidity and ignorance.

Yeah because that's a great way to generate business and convince people it's not rigged!

ZOMG EVEN MOAR CONSPIRACY! 2+2 must've been paid off big time.

Except now instead of small(ish) threads that have extremely low priority on Google, this thread is quite high and likely to pop up, depending on what the person searches for.

And this. And that mods like to consolidate threads on similar topics.

Doubtful since we amuse ourselves on such threads. Although I must admit it is easier having all that activity in one place.

It does make sense to have very high traffic subjects (e.g. P2P transfers, site updates) in one thread to avoid swamping the index.

Why not just look at the last such poll?

It wasn't that long ago.

And you will be happy with the result.

Sooper your do know that re-making a thread that was deleted by a mod is a no-no, don't you?

In before delete, ban, new account, 2+2 conspiracy theory post, huge ****ing quote with the reply "Great post!", then permaban for multiple accounts.

I can't even vote on this poll because there is no 'probably not' option.

I've no way of knowing for certain whether or not it's rigged.

That is n't the reason I call people ******s.

I call a very few people ******s because they are congenitally incapable of responding on a logical and reasonable manner.

It's not that I'm defending OLP particularly - at least, not because it is OLP. I'm defending those who are being libeled and accused of criminal activity without any evidence that such activity even exists.

You still haven't explained what you need that information for.

I could tell you anything and you would be none the wiser.

If I thought there was some legitimate reason for asking I might even consider answering some of them.

Who are mods to just delete/merge every thread that people want to see discussed without reason. They are not god.

I agree if a thread is to be deleted or locked the mod should give an explanation. Too bad that isn't a rule.

If you make moronic, baseless accusations against anyone else I'll insult you about that too.

Yeah, becuase one huge thread constantly at the top of the forum where all of your "evidence" can be easilly referenced is better "for business" than a load of small ones that instantly disappear

I dont need precise info just generalise what exactly it is that you do.

Have you something to hide that you won't answer this.

I and other's have accused you of being a shill so you could come out and say actually I'm not a shill I'm a...........

Post a hand you ve played from your database but you cant can you because you are a shill, which means that you know OP is a scam so you obviously dont play do you.

No I was definitely one of the guys who wanted them all in one place, so I could avoid getting sucked into these threads. But then I replied to one, which got merged into this one and now I'm still sucked in.

And why the hell do you care what he does for a living? Would you believe whatever he said?

Goh, it's almost as silly as defending a site in a country far away and you expect us to believe you have no vested interest in defending these sites.
The great "Poker is rigged" debate - Collected threads edition Quote
07-11-2009 , 05:33 AM
What rigtards call "shills defending sites", I call "people who like to point out flaws in other people's (in this case usually rigtards') arguments OR conspiracy theories" (and there's a difference, even in this thread. The ones who post arguments are not necessarily rigtards).

Oh yeah and I believe for every shill defending online poker in this thread, there are two NFL shills who want it to be illegal so they can have a monopoly on the gambling industry.

Now we have conspiracy theories on both sides! What a great debate!

Have you just admitted to being a shill. In other words you are here to defend the multi millionaires and billionaires engaged in fraudulent activity.

As previously mentioned it isn't criminal activity at all because there is no way to punish/fine/imprison those responsible as seen in the AP?UB scandal.

Thanks for answering my question about what you do.
