The majority of posters supporting this initiative are affiliates. I am not a little bit surprised. Players en mass would not like to see Casinos enjoy even more censorship of their growing list of tricks.


...
No one is being censored - I'm just making it a privilege to post a public complaint.

By the way I counted two affiliates - maybe three in this thread. Most of the people who support this are regular members of this forum who tire seeing it trashed by one-post commandos.

I agree with the other posters having misgivings about the policy change. It's a normal state of affairs if people who suddenly come up against a problem then become first time posters here. Perhaps they could be banned from starting threads or receiving any active assistance (except from other posters), but stopping them from responding to threads seriously limits the value of this forum.
I don't think it's devalued in anyway, but made stronger and more effective. You're acting as if I'm closing off the complaints section to everyone. I'm not. No one is stopping anyone from signing up. No one is stopping anyone from getting involved.

Posting here is a privilege - not a right. If a newbie player has a problem, by all means I'll assist them. But the majority of newbie posts in the complaints section are made irregardless of the posting instructions and really waste a lot of time (i.e. contacting the casino rep, PABing, etc.)

If people learned to read and follow instructions, then there wouldn't be a problem.
