Title: New "Gambling discussion" forum.. awesome!
Post by: NLNico on September 04, 2016, 06:54:28 AM
Thanks to the team for adding it! I am sure it will improve the Gambling forum :)

Anyway, I am now wondering what the specific rules are. I actually made an userscript (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1451483.0) before just with as reason dividing gambling sites and non-sites here (got 1,500 topics ignored :X) But my "criteria" might be different, so before I report all those 1,500 topics.. I rather know the exact rules :P I personally like "real sites with domain" in Gambling and "the rest" in Discussion forum, since it's an easy rule. But tipsters might just get a $10 site to have their topic in "main forum".

I reported like 30 topics now and it seems that the rule is "discussion which is not about specific sites" go to Discussion forum. Is this correct? Personally I think the endless "suggest me a site" or "what is best site" are pretty worthless too (and better in Discussion forum.)

Would be great if hilariousandco, Cyrus or others can share their view.

Correct(probably a few corner cases). Also, thanks for the reports(handled the majority of them minus the ones detailed below)

Personally I think the endless "suggest me a site" or "what is best site" are pretty worthless too (and better in Discussion forum.)
I haven't moved those kind of threads yet(wanted a second opinion on it). I guess they're Gambling Discussion material as well.
Sorry for making your script obsolete :D.

"suggest me a site" or "what is best site"

Update: Those threads should stay in Gambling as they are about specific services themselves.

It seperates gambling discussion from specific chat/discussion about certain sites & services. I like to speak with others about their bets, my bets & see what tipsters are doing.

I find random threads about dice sites & other games that I don't use pretty boring so it's better this way. People don't have to wade through shit they're not interested in. You can find what you're looking for or enjoy much more easily.

Cool, sounds fair enough :) Already looks much better. I might bump this thread in the future if there are threads that I am not sure about.

Yeh, for me it's the opposite (I prefer looking at new gambling sites etc), but great it works both ways :)
