The refund for spins is not good.

"Dear sheeprustler,

Tournament #2382328276 has been cancelled due to technical reasons.

When a tournament is cancelled before players are in the money, we refund each player their tournament fee, and then divide up the prize pool based on the following formula:

- 50% of the award pool distributed evenly between remaining players
- 50% of the award pool distributed proportionally according to the chip count

At the time of cancellation there were 3 players remaining, and your chip count was 500.00. Total chips in play were 1,500.00.

Prize pool to be divided equally: USD 30.00 / 2 = USD 15.00
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: USD 30.00 / 2 = USD 15.00

Your share in money equally divided: USD 15.00 / 3 = USD 5.00
Your share based on chip count: USD 15.00 * (500.00 / 1,500.00) = USD 5.00
Your entry fee refunded: USD 0.90

Total money refunded to your Stars Account: USD 10.90.

We apologize for the inconvenience."

This is a tournament where we didn't get to play a hand and the prize-pool is still deducted.

If you hit a 150k spin, and then this happened and the refunded you $15, what would your thoughts be?

Agreed.

Why is modding so inconsistent / hypocritical? I don't get it.

Let's look at some of the topics on NVG right now:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...ables-1717214/
Why isn't this on Internet Poker? It is about Pokerstars AND less relevant than the news from sunday.

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...poker-1718452/
Uh??? Shouldn't this be on Big Ugly Poker Forum???

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...rcast-1719552/
This one i have no idea. How can they justify that PS having disc's for 3 days on a row is not NEWS and the end of a podcast that no one listened to is?
I don't understand. How is that more relevant to poker players worldwide?
I'm pretty sure there is a forum created specifically for informations about the Pokercast.

This is important news and the sort of thing that wouldn't be noticed by most players until the day they go to load up their 79 tables and get screwed.

To be fair they have to make room for important threads such as "Who watches poker on TV anymore?". Looking at the side bar, I certainly can't see any more suitable forums for that thread.

(yeah, I said I wouldn't post anymore about this but hey i can't help myself)

It's so weird that a mod suggested we already have a thread for this topic? We do.


LOL, what? I'm not sure if you think there's been some high level discussion of this thread and I'm here to put out fires or something, but what I said suggests nothing of the sort. I have no idea if NVG mods will decide if this thread should be closed or merged with the existing one. I can easily make a case for them doing that, or for keeping it here given that this could be considered a pattern emerging on Stars. I honestly don't care either way what they decide to do, nor do I know what they will do, or if they even give a rat's ass about this thread.

Anyway, my apologies if I've misunderstood you in some way, and I'm going to try to step back out of this now, as I'm helping derail a thread with a debate about....well, nothing, really.
