There's only 2 mods at the moment and I think their workload this weekend has been a bit heavy with all the strange new people trying to gets free seeds and other stuff going on.
I must admit, I glanced at it and didn't realise it wasn't for real money.

I'm guessing that may be what the issue is here. I did think I made it pretty clear though, I did say something like 'all the fun of a flutter with out the financial risk', plus what kind of betting site gives the punter $1000 to start with! However if you didn't realise I guess it wasn't that clear.
Hope it's not the spam issue, I did have a little look around the site first. There are people with links to various things like a jukebox rental site, which I'd consider to be more spam than the link I put up, so felt it would be OK. I figured it was nothing more than a bit of fun like the 'make a portrait of yourself’ thread. I hope I didn't upset anyone, that certainly wasn't my intention
On a side note I do feel a tad rebellious, I've been using forums for the best part of 7 years now and have never had a thread deleted before *teeheehee*

Hi
When I said I glanced at it, I meant your thread, not the website. I wouldn't go near gambling websites, real money or not, it's not my thing at all. If someone reported it, our fabulous mods would have investigated it and I'm guessing that it didn't meet forum rules. I'm sure if there are concerns, a PM to them would clear it up.
Again, as wasn't for real money, I really couldn't see why it would be a problem. you get H$20 just for logging onto the site, plus I said people didn't have to use the link if it made them feel funny. I just wanted to be upfront about it, wish I hadn't mentioned it now
I appreciate you trying to explain what you think the problem with it was though, as I've still heard nothing back from the moderators.
Maybe the mods didn't think it was 'fun' - gambling is a serious business, there's youngsters post on this 'gardening' forum, why encourage them to think betting is a game?
Zem, sorry for not getting back to you earlier but I had many spammers to flog.
SBP hit the nail on the head. As we are a family forum with quite a few young members we didnt think a gambling site, even a "pretend" one, sat comfortably here.

Ah *penny drops* I hadn't noticed any younger posters, I was of the impression at the age 33 I was one of the younger posters
Sorry for any problems I caused and thanks for getting back to me (eventually *tongue firmly in cheek*)
No worries Zem. At 33 you are one of the younger ones, especially when you look at the likes of NTG, Flum mum, Heywayne and Seahorse, now they are really old lol.
We do have a few even younger though, more than you think too.
