I think it is irresponsible to let the game take place. Firstly, because other players and the coaching staff could be infected, and secondly, because it is a distortion of competition if some of the players are absent because of the infection.
It shouldn't be any different than what we have seen for the club competitions during this, but also in the previous season. Many teams had to play with multiple players sidelined due to COVID. The results were still valid, it's no different from when you have injured or suspended players. The last two years were a huge mess in club football, and all you can do is to adapt and rely on the strength of your squad.

You have a nice site. One thing we do disagree somewhat is KYC. I don't think that KYC requirements determine the quality of a book. A book's payout history is most important. The top books have a great payout history. Books that are heavy handed in KYC are downgraded here.
I think they do because many gamblers prefer to remain anonymous and if the casino requires them to undergo KYC, they lose their privacy and they can no longer be considered anonymous players. It's also dangerous to give away your sensitive data that will end up being stored on some servers somewhere because of the possibility of those records being hacked or sold one day.

Therefore, if we are comparing two casinos with equal payout history, I would consider the one that doesn't require KYC as the better choice.

Congratulations, you are now part of a club of members who can call themselves self-made legendaries. Although I started as a Hero when the merit system was introduced, I am also a member of the club after earning +1000 merits as well.  Cool

You might want to edit a few things in your OP: 

A little over four months ago I became a full member on the forum, and I now earned enough merits to become a Sr. Member, and I'm now a Hero member.
You aren't anymore...

The obvious next target is Hero Legendary Member, but first I'll have to learn more, improve on my discussions and also explore the other areas of the forum.
Target acquired...

Is there a way I can 'sign' a non-zero address containing the required funds to show that a) The $ is mine to send and b) The $ is enough to cover the cost of the transaction
The signing process of funded addresses is the same as for empty ones. If you sign a message from an address that contains bitcoin, you effectively own that address and the coins in it.

Regarding point b, it depends. If you are supposed to send a client 0.2 BTC and you sign an address which contains only 0.1 BTC, the client will know (if he checks) that you don't have the required amount. If it's the other way around, he can see you have enough.

Actually, I saw this thread of @Pmalek on the gambling discussion board regarding all gambling sites that have faucets.  But I don't know how much the minimum before you can withdraw the amount that comes from the faucet and it might take years before you can do that even you are actively collecting the faucet.
Thanks for linking to my thread. Trying your chances with crypto casino faucets is possible, but without plenty of luck and some sports knowledge (in case of sports betting), you wont get far with faucets either. I put a link in the OP of my faucet thread to another thread I created about withdrawal fees and minimum withdrawal limits. OP can use that as a source when researching the requirements to move money to his personal wallet.

better try it on Games and rounds there are  several casinos who does a giveaway or conduct some games which give bitcoins  or other alts as rewards.
That is a possibility, however, most of the casinos don't accept applications by newbie members. If they did, you would see hundreds of newly created accounts who apply for those things.
9286  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where is giveaway thread? on: June 08, 2021, 06:04:39 PM
Nothing in this world is free my friend, especially not a rare and precious asset like bitcoin. If you want something of value, work for it. You could try things like faucets, watching ads in exchange for some coins, or answering surveys, but most of the time it's not worth the effort.

This forum is full with knowledge, and it's free. Use that to understand how bitcoin works and then find a way to monetize your professional skills with it.

Isn't image resizing on bitcointalk pretty simple and straightforward? You just add either width or height number in that "[Img width/height=xyz]" bracket and thats about it? Like 2 seconds work.
Not really. It's simple if you know about it. Where did you get the info from the first time you used those image codes? You either saw it somewhere, asked someone and then memorized the code or saved it somewhere for future use. I am pretty sure not everyone knows about those image tags and just adds the images in their original size or uses another service for resizing like Imgur.
9288  Other / Archival / Re: SCAM Not Moderated? on: June 08, 2021, 12:44:39 PM
then theoretically, the mods will have to mark or delete 95% of all existing ANN ICOs...
Not necessarily. An ICO isn't a scam just because it's an ICO. Many are, probably the majority is. I wouldn't like to speculate on the numbers because I don't know. I think it's necessary to distinguish those that exit scam or just outright take their investor's money without any aspirations from creating anything, and those who fail for lack of interest, quality of the product, other reasons. If they refund their investors, they aren't a scam. They are just a failed project for this or that reason. 

Cases where outright theft can be easily proved should result in moderation, IMHO. I know: who decides what "theft" is and what "easily proved" means...
Theft and breaches of contract or any other written agreement can be easily proven. If you make a deal with me where I have to send you money after receiving certain goods or services and I don't, it's a clear case of a scam. That makes me a treat to the community and I shouldn't be here. The proof can be emails, PMs, crypto addresses that were funded or not, etc. That's why it is important to document everything when you do business with someone via the forum and avoid using things like Telegram where any side of a PM exchange can delete everything.   
9289  Other / Meta / Re: Effect Of Plagiarism In Forum. on: June 08, 2021, 12:16:42 PM
The link would only appear if you insert the link directly from the website into the image tag, but if I were to download the same image and upload it on some other platform like imgur, it will not show any link to the original source.
I have seen members do that a lot. They upload an image to imgur to take advantage of imgur's quick resizing options. As you know, Bitcointalk doesn't have resizing buttons available when you create new posts. You would need to know the codes by heart to resize your images properly. Imgur, on the other hand, allows you to use the original size as well as different thumbnail and square sizes. 

Plagiarism does apply to images cause it can be stolen, but it's difficult to prove, probably the reason why it is not strictly enforced.
Like I said in my previous post, I wouldn't consider posting an image as an act of plagiarism unless it's clear from the post that the author is trying to make the public think the image or artwork was created by him.   
9290  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: June 08, 2021, 11:31:56 AM
Why would they hide it though? Are there any reason why they hide the faucets?
Hiding is maybe a too strong of a word here and over exaggeration. Some sites don't emphasize the fact that they have a faucet and aren't giving it importance. Let me tell you what I mean.

If you open the homepage of Windice, you have a button for the faucet at the top of the site (between deposit and exchange). If you visit BetFury, there is a free BNB button on the homepage that will allow you to claim BNB and BTC. But if you visit FortuneJack, there is nothing on the homepage that would have you know that the platform has a faucet. To claim some sats from the faucet, you have to play Dice and go into the settings to find the free faucet button. Unless you know about it, or stumble upon it by accident, there is no way of knowing about the faucet from just visiting the casino.
9291  Other / Meta / Re: What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk? on: June 08, 2021, 09:22:55 AM
If Bitcointalk forum begins to bring many rules and regulations that will not allow someone to express himself very well. Or when they bring some punishment to stop freedom of speech, I will leave. I am here because I love to share my opinion and read other people's opinion that is my own joy.
I don't see that happening. the forum will certainly not move in a direction of censorship, but there will always be rules you have to respect. If those rules prevent you from posting or sharing certain content, you'll have to follow them.

BTW, why are you wearing that under your signature space? Is it worth destroying your forum reputation over it, if you care about those kind of things? 
9292  Other / Meta / Re: A question about unsolicited PMs on: June 08, 2021, 09:15:44 AM
Maybe it would be best to encourage people to just block users who PM them offers and only take action with bans if it's done en mass. I don't think people should be spamming users with offers but I also don't think someone should have to be worried about being banned just for sending one PM.
Is that how you would personally handle such a case? If someone reports a user for sending him an unsolicited PM about working with him, would you ignore the report and maybe warn that individual that he got reported and shouldn't do it again? 

On at least one forum I've been on before they allow users to set a pre-message that is shown before you PM them and sometimes users have stated they don't want to receive unsolicited messages or offers about certain things and maybe that would be helpful here.
I have seen that on other forums as well, but I am not sure our current forum software supports such a feature. @theymos does it? Maybe it could be proposed as a feature when the new forum software gets rolled out. A notification stating a user is not interested in any offers could make the difference.

Prošlo je sa Firefox browserom za FortuneJack ali sam prvo morao deaktivirati adblocker, sigurno imaju neki tracking sistem da prate ako se ljudi registriraju više puta.
Ja koristim uBlock Origin na dva računara i logujem se bez problema sa Mozillom. Doduše kad sam registrovao nalog prije par godina nisam imao ad blocker. Možda je to razlika Huh

Ovih dana se malo igram sa faucetom i kladionicom i hoću da vidim da li mogu saldo podignuti na nivo koji je potreban da bi povukao novac sa FortuneJacka. To je 0.004 BTC. Sa 523 satoshija sam došao negdje na $20 vrijednosti u BTC. Još puno pogodaka mi treba. Jednom sam to već uspio kad mi je FJ poklonio 0.001 BTC free bet na eSport. To sam malo vrtio i digao na iznos dovoljan za povuči pare.

How am I meant to adequately poo-poo someone's idea without a pile of poop emoji? 💩
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you have been living a lie, and it's time you found out the truth. The poop emoji is just a copy of the ice cream cone emoji. They are the same, but one is white and the other is chocolate or poopish in color. I know, it's hard to digest. Cry

9295  Other / Meta / Re: This thing with the accounts' farming has to stop... on: June 07, 2021, 01:00:39 PM
I think having more than one account is not against the forum rules and selling account too.
Using multiple accounts is not against the rules. Many established members do it. But many established members also don't make it a secret that they have multiple accounts and have left themselves neutral feedback to confirm this. Selling your account is also allowed and not against forum rules.

But the community don't like that sort of things and they have ways to fight it. I am talking about flags and trust feedback. When the account changes hands, the new owner can be a scammer who bought it to trick his victims into believing they are dealing with a trusted individual. That can lead to the loss of money, you see?

Meriting your alt accounts from your main account is merit abuse. Enrolling multiple accounts in signature campaigns is against the rules. It's cheating, and those who do it take away valuable spots from other members who would gladly participate in the campaigns as well.   
9296  Other / Archival / Re: SCAM Not Moderated? on: June 07, 2021, 12:48:30 PM
In fact, there is a benefit in this. I would be glad if such marks in the topics of scammers became the norm on this forum.
Me too. There is a rule that says that moderators don't make the decisions what is a scam and what isn't, but there is no rule that prevents them from warning the community of what they believe to be a possible scam. It would be a move in the right direction if we see more of the same by other mods as well. These updates by LZ were made in 2017, are there any more recent cases?

Honestly, in the past, I participated in the Livecoin exchange's signature campaign, because I believed it is not a scam. Last year, Livecoin did a scam exit.
It's not your fault they did so, nor could you have predicted it. You participating in a Livecoin campaign before they turned evil isn't the same thing as putting on a signature by 1xbet and not caring that there are hundreds of users who got scammed and had their winnings or deposits stolen by that same casino. 
9297  Other / Meta / Re: A question about unsolicited PMs on: June 07, 2021, 12:25:14 PM
This topic would have been considered important if the author would have plead the mod to include setting that may allowed or deny unsolicited message.
You mean you would like to have an option to disable all incoming private messages from all forum members? Something like: allow PMs, Yes or NO?! How else would the system/forum recognize if the PM is unsolicited or not?

The option to prevent newbies to PM you is enabled by default. I think that is sufficient. I have received all kind of PMs throughout the years, from links to "lifechanging projects that will make me rich Roll Eyes, to merit begging and questions if I can lend someone a bit of money. I usually just ignore those.   
9298  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: June 07, 2021, 12:16:59 PM
I see that not all of the gambling sites are here I hope you would still update your thread this is useful for some people.
Yeah, many crypto casinos don't have faucets at all or some of them aren't highlighting them in a way that would make it easy for me to find out how and where to access them. I will update the thread after I checked some of the casinos that were recommended by other members. 
9299  Other / Archival / Re: SCAM Not Moderated? on: June 07, 2021, 09:41:28 AM
If that service is really a danger to the community, I support LZ's decision to put that warning for all members to see. That's the way it should be. Actually the way it should be is that scammers shouldn't be part of this community at all, but if we can't have that, this is the next best thing. 

There is something am not cleared of, Are you directly or indirectly saying scammers are allowed to carry out any cybercrime related activities with them being mod? I don't think scams aren't mod because this forum is to encourage it's users and not devastating from the forum
Let me make it easy for you. I can scam you of your money and I wont be banned from Bitcointalk even if you have proof of me being a scammer. I can only be banned if I broke one of the Bitcointalk unofficial rules (scamming is not a bannable offence). If I were to share a malware infected file, plagiarize the post that lead to the scam, spam with ref links etc., those things could result in my being banned, but not the scam itself.   
9300  Other / Meta / Re: What Would Be Your Reason to Leave Bitcointalk? on: June 07, 2021, 09:14:36 AM
This question is very critical to give an answer, leaving bitcointalk community show that you are leaving everything concerning cryptocurrency in general
Leaving Bitcointalk doesn't have to mean you are giving up on crypto or that you wont use it anymore. You can stop writing and participating in discussions in this forum, but still be interested in crypto. Many people don't like forums or have specialized discussion boards that are more attractive for their region, like in some parts of Asia. 

...or marriage via female which may be result of load
Can I still stay on Bitcointalk if I marry a shemale and dump my load on her/him? Grin
