Hi
I think your thread, having a link in it, may have been against the forum's rules.
I'm not sure of the ins and outs of posting links - esp if there is personal gain - but that's probably why.

I never did get to the site - other things took over the day.
I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about!!

It wasn't for real money or anythingOriginally posted by zazen999 View Post
If that's the case it would have been nice of someone to drop my a note then I wouldn't have put up this thread as well.
Oh well I'll PM them and see what the story is.Comment

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.Originally posted by zazen999 View Post
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*Comment

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.

I thought I made it pretty clear on the thread but clearly not.
I PM'd them a few hours ago, just waiting on a reply.Comment

Hi
It was probably the line that said every time someone clicks you get xxx...or words to that effect.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll hear back soon.Last edited by zazen999; 25-11-2008, 08:43 AM.

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.Comment

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?Last edited by smallblueplanet; 25-11-2008, 10:10 AM.To see a world in a grain of sand

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.Comment

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 postersOriginally posted by pigletwillie View Post
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.Comment
