So wrong, much unethical.
It's always amazing how, after hundreds of negative threads about Stars are allowed to stand, many of them in NVG, people still jump to ridiculous **** like this. I actually considered moving the thread to Internet Poker as well, because that's where I believe it belongs, but I decided to leave it to NVG mods to decide. Looks like they felt the same way.
And no, Stars won't have requested this, and no, there's nothing unethical about deciding to move a thread. And moving it to another one of the busiest forums on 2+2, and the one where players go to find out information about poker rooms, is far from an exile.

Where a thread for a podcast belongs has nothing to do with where this thread belongs.
Don't get me wrong, I get the confusion to a certain point. A number of threads are allowed to stay in NVG that are close calls. Threads that are about people's opinions (or Views) of poker sites in general belong in NVG. Threads that are about specific problems at a specific poker site belong in Internet Poker. But there are times when threads overlap the two. Or when something that happens at a poker site could be considered News. But I think a situation with incorrect refunds that just happened in the last day or two is a thread that belongs in Internet Poker. As the situation plays itself out over the next little while, perhaps a thread in NVG will be warranted. But for the time being, this is fine where it is.
Internet Poker isn't some hinterland where controversy goes to die. Yes, NVG is a busier forum, but Internet Poker is one of the busiest forums on 2+2, and I doubt there are many 2+2 posters that are regular online players who don't ever read Internet Poker.
If some of you want to further discuss this with NVG mods, they have a moderation sticky at the top of their forum for that purpose.
