question about BPU

[dominique]

I don't know why people often act in a way online that they would never do in real life.

Maybe it's because the other people seem to be cartoon characters rather than real people with feelings and opinions.

Some threads develop into battle fields. Sometimes there are just simply attacks on people with no foundation except that a scape goat is needed to take the brunt of everyone's personal frustration.

I have no idea what happened with/to Perky, and I don't really care to know or get involved, I am not talking about any incident in specific, just about the nature of message boards.

Admin/moderators are there to look out for each individual poster and make sure that there are no negative repercussions for stating opinions. IMO message boards are there so people can learn new facts and discuss them. For a discussion you need opinions. If everyone agrees, it's not a discussion but an exercise in Yay-saying.

So I see disagreements as a positive that can bring new facts and ways of seeing things to light. A good message board admin is able to allow free expression while still protecting each poster from attacks.

I like Meister because that is the case here. And sometimes it's not an easy feat to say the least.

Dom it's so true on how people have to act online.

This is all about the Internet don't ya know.
People that sit behind a keyboard that have Many things they can type about a person and they will give you after that they stab ya in the back.But when you call them out to meet ya in person lol I don't want to say what I will call them because I may get banned from here lol.
The keyboard is allot of peoples friends.You can say anything you like and hide.and nothing to worry about you will never see them up front.
This is one of my pet peeves I have.I would love to meet many that talk trash about anyone.But they all bow down and make an excuse to not meet ya in person.
They will call ya every name in the book but do you think they would do this in front of your face NO
This is why we have to protect our kids also because you have many that sit behind a keyboard and think they are God or something better.
I don't care where you go online you will find White Trash,Black Trash,Trailer Trash,And plain old Trash online.
You will always find funny people online.



the bottom line is we should all try to get along with each other

Thanks Sissy but no thanks, You couldn't drag me back to your forum. I was banned for speaking what I viewed as the truth, and I do not think I was alone in that view. I was called names, put down and degraded for speaking my opinion,(by you and your staff as well) along with some legal facts that you would like to deny.

And I am glad to see that casinomeister does not endorse you as you claim. I have always found his board to be fair, and value all opinions. Nobody here is called troll doodoo.

I have my own forum, and have visited and have friends at many gambling forums. And I have never ever seen treatment of people on them like I have seen at yours.

Casino Meister YOU ROCK!!!

Hey Perky34b I do have to say one thing.
Sissy did ask you that you can PM,Email her to iron all this out.
And that's a start.

Peace is optional for some..mandatory for others.
BPU is an area for players and sites to vent, praise, opine and generally speak what is on your mind. If you are not prepared for a difference of opinion to expressed, then I suggest you carefully guard your ideas and opinions in the safe harbor of your own mind.
Lets face it, there are many, many gaming portals that have NO idea about a sites policy, ethics, history or player accomodations, yet they proudly display their banners for folks to click on, visit, and hopefully deposit. All this has one main objective... to promote an unknown entity ( in most instances) for the purpose of creating revenue.
When a member or guest of BPU posts about an issue they are having with a site, it is usually after they have tried to communicate with a site to resolve the problem. With their irritations, frustrations and anger tucked in their bingo bag, they post...and that is as allowable and welcome as anyones "opinions" that may be totally contrary. Perhaps if others have had an issue with the same site or network, they may feel compelled or warrranted in posting their experiences at that time. Much research and investigation is accomplished before any decisions or determinations are made regarding a claim, and ALL site owners or managers are invited to respond publicly or privately. This rarely happens.
It is absolutely super when a player has no problems that cant be managed with a little arbitration and discussion with the site itself, but when that proves to be ineffective, it is in very poor taste and without empathy for any player to negate a bad experience or mistreatment of another simply because they have personally not had the same experience.When a player says" you must be in the wrong because that has not happened to me",
I can not think of a more introspect, selfish and thoughtless statement that can be offered. This, unfortunately, leads to personality clashes and irrelevancy . If you are a true beleiver that "luck" plays a huge role in the entertainment called gambling, then you must be willing to beleive that some players have been bestowed with that same luck to not have been cheated or deceived by a site that has clearly misled and cheated others.
I am suggesting that we all try to be a little kinder and tolerant in the pursuit of this thing we call entertainment, because that is supposed to be fun...isnt it?

You were called names and degraded by the staff? Frankly perky34b, I dont remember you unless you were using a different alias. Lets get beyond the status of allegations and claims and make it real clear that I did call you a "name" and degrade you. If you find this to be a fact that you can verify with an actual documented post that I have degraded or called you a name that was offensive, I invite you to post it. I find that an accusation that "attacks" and provokes unecessary conflict and is also totally without any basis in fact or merit, but merely your perspective and opinion. It is just this kind of inciteful talk that leads to the situations that you seem to be so against!

Legal facts? I imagine you presented a documented legal precedent or cited the actual code of the law that supported your presentation of a "legal fact"? It would be folly to state legalities and government mandate without some form of proof to absolutely affirm your statements...wouldnt it?

I thought I read that here! Do you find that name offensive too? Is someone again degrading you? Insinuations, allusions and references that are ungrounded and presented as the truth lead to conflict, frustration, anger, confusion,disruption and hostility.
Please dont bring me into any of your tirades in a negative and unfounded manner, I find that offensive and very unjust.
Thank You

[perky34b]

yep I do find being called troll doodoo offensive, as well as in poor nasty taste. Which seems to be your style. Thanks for coming yet again to prove my point.

At the risk of derailing an otherwise nutritious thread , does anyone have info, good or bad, concerning 123Bingo? They are sending me emails. I'm thinking of taking the "Bingo Plunge" and want to use a SUB for the learning experience.

[perky34b]

By the way Dynamite, I do work for a land casino, (not as a street mime or deli owner as one of your mods, maybe even you stated, though these are probably fine professions as well) and am pretty aware of laws about gaming. It is also pretty obvious by your attitude and statements that you are not aware of any. I did email GPWA some links to your comments so they can see what kind of rubbish they are endorsing.


Hi Bryand, I have played at 123 and I liked it. I didn't win anything big or cashout there, but played a couple times and had a decent experience. Got a lot of play for my money. I like the parlay software alot.

They have had some ups and downs in the past, but seem to running a good site. David, the manager, is always quick to work with BPU if we have issues that come to us concerning his site. I have done some monitoring of 123Bingo and they have some really good jackpots. All I know for fact is what I see and read, but on a trial run I guess 123 would be as good as any to try out.

They also have a cashback perk that I have never seen before at any site. If you spend all of your deposit and bonuses, you simply go to live help and ask for "cashback" and they will put back the amount you deposited in you account as a cash balance to play on.

I hear they are adding new games etc. As with any bingo site, read the rules and ask all of your questions BEFORE you deposit . Good luck should you decide to try it Byand!!
