Probably because it's a typical spam megathread: meaningless "what if" question with no discussion, followed by a zillion equally meaningless replies posted just to reach shitp^D^D^D^Dignature campaign quotas.

IMO the topic should have been nuked on sight. But it's a losing game... for the last hours, I've watched I don't know how many similarly useless topics being posted by newish members, all participating in the same campaign.

In recent days so many spam megathreads on Bitcoin Discussion board was locked by mods. You thread got quite many responses and it means that mostly people are just repeating what was already said. So, there are no reasons to keep your thread open. If you are leaving bitcointalk just because that your thread was locked, then bye, we wont miss you.

You really have to ask why your obvious attempt at advertising for some online casino got locked? I mean, your username is NewCryptocasinos, there is a link to a website of the same name in your sig and you are "wondering" if online casinos can help bitcoin...  ::)

Frankly, you should count yourself lucky that only your thread got locked because you could be banned for advertising/spamming.

I'm glad I didn't scare you away. Sorry if I was a bit grumpy earlier.

Bitcointalk is special in that users have a monetary incentive to spew useless posts. First they do it in order to gain activity. Then they join a signature campaign and post useless stuff to meet the minimum required by the campaign manager. Because of this, I tend to view general questions such as 'what do you think about X' with great suspicion. To be fair, yours wasn't one of the worst I've seen, but still.

As you may have gathered from my current signature, I warmly recommend (a) posting clearly defined and well researched questions and (b) locking one's own topic immediately after the question has been answered satisfactorily. If you leave a topic open, it becomes at risk of collecting garbage and then being deleted entirely.

The question is real! and im not talking about dices faucets etc, im talking about the big players like Bet365, Casinoroom etc. when the MGA operators add BTC i truly believe it will have a massive effect on BTC, and  i want to know what the BT community think about it

anyway, i agree that my profile looks a bit "spam"

Have nice day
