Bitcoin Forum

Lately there are a lot of threads talking about gambling strategies and things related to gambling, I propose to make two different gambling sections, 1. Gambling Announcements and 2.Gambling discussion. Im pretty tired of the same threads being on first page when im trying to look for new gambling websites, those threads are not only useless but also help sig spammers to spam more. What do you think?

I wouldn't be opposed to it. A lot of the discussion in there isn't even really Bitcoin related (offering soccer tips or just general sport discussion etc).

100% yes. But there is already a topic for this suggestion here: separate businesses and gambling discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1162790.0;all). In that topic also a longer reply of mine.

I really think the current Gambling forum is pretty bad, so I hope the "discussion" subforum gets created soon.

Yes, I also think that. The gambling threads that don't present a bussiness should be in a different one than in one section. Can any mod make this change, not as in if u have power to do it, but as in u gonna do it?

Yes.

Make the gambling section only for bitcoin related gambling, and all the other rubbish should go to off topic instead.

I would not be apposed to having a separate section for all the so called strategies and sports tippers. Like you, I get annoyed having to go through all that what I'm not interested in to find a casino. So yes good idea.

well giving sport tips is what belongs to gambling section,and for making one more section for new sites is good idea and i think it should be implented asap.

Yes as we have two sections Games and Round and Investor based Games now third one with the name of gambling discussions for tipsters and other matters related to gambling main section only for sites   

This would be better. The gambling section needs to have an off topic section (Other section) where these discussions can take place. They aren't bitcoin related at all.

Threads like: Everyone looses in the long run, How greedy you are ?, Gambling for a living or a living for Gambling? don't benefit the forum at all.

That is why I would like to have these section added.

1. General Gambling Discussion - with topics like: Difference between gambling and investing, Gambling "strategies, your favorite bitcoin casinos and games etc.
2. Gambling Service Discussion - self explanatory
3. Gambling Service Announcements - self explanatory.

We could merge point 2 and 3 into one if needed.

What XinXan suggested is good. Yes. There is a lot of sports tipping and earning discussion on the gambling forum now. The admin should create a new forum for gambling discussion and tipping.

Hazir suggestion is also good. It is hard to keep track with discussions on the gambling platform announcement thread itself. There should be a Gambling Service Discussion forum too - just like Altcoin board.

Yeah that's the idea..... I just hope this thread gets a bit of attention from theymos so we can actually execute it.

Agree with it, the sport tips also should be made as a new Subboard in Off-topic, many people seem to spam there for their signature payment, moving it to off-topic might reduce the spam from Bit-x , Bit-mixer , cryptogames and such campaign participants, because those campaigns don't pay for posts in off-topic.
As for "gambling discussion" those may be moderated in a similar way like Quora, where topics are merged if they are same as another question, in this case it might be moved to archival by a mod and post some of the similar discussion threads' link.

Well yea, basically my suggestion was because of the sig spammers in threads that are the same. There are like 10 strategy threads talking about the same thing, if admins could lock the others and only leave 1 or merge them as you say, it would help with the spam, i also feel like the sport tips threads should be locked by the author and only post his tips and not allow anyone else to post since other people cant really contribute to the thread.

Absolutely. New posts about the same crap for signature spammers to reply to countless times continue to hop up to the front page, crowding all the space for the gambling establishments to have.

It's kind of annoying, to be honest. I would LOVE having new sections, so you can filter out the useless threads and not have to go down to page 3 to find some interesting sites.

Well unfortunately we wont have a new gambling section for now, it seems. People generally agree, even mods and staff but I feel like there is a lack of commitment from admins in this forum. There are a lot of good ideas supported by reputated members that are not implemented yet.

The only thing we really need is split gambling section into General Gambling Discussion and Gambling Service Discussion sub boards. And this is not hard to implement if everyone agrees.

Yes? Thats what the whole thread is about, what I said was that admins dont seem to care too much about this since this was already suggested before and hasn't been implemented yet. It's not hard but they wont do it.
