"...Forum Moderators will of course have to monitor this ensuring posts that truly belong in either thread do go there..."

I'd like to see the MSE forum team having to read the drivel I do on this board. :rolleyes:

Currently on the front page of GIOL, THIS is the ONLY chat thread, everything else relates to matched betting.

Where do you get the 40% number from? People chat in the offers thread, you can't help that those who are less experienced would like those who have more experience to help them through something new and difficult.

Think this is a good idea as havinf recently started up it does take a while to get everything together.

Also when i've got some spare time (probably when i have a week of work...) i'm going to create a starters guide with my ideas on which bookies etc to do first to help build up your pot and add my experiances with them. It is quite hard getting started and deciding on which books to do first.

Going to take my boy through this as well so will use him as a guinea pig.

Does this sound as if it would be useful?

No, all due respect, but you'd be denying him an important part of learning what to do... select your bookies. Also, give it 3 weeks, and your suggestions will be outdated

langfor

Yeah point taken.

That's probably why i couldn't make my mind up how to do it.

I can't believe that this post hasn't got any thanks because it's a great wish (although Fella's is slightly better)!

With respect TT, this is totally unreasonable. It would drive MK into an early grave, with or without help! It means her reading every post, weighing up each one to judge if it's in the right place and, if it isn't, moving it.

We are supposed to be self-administrating, as it's an open forum. That - maybe surprisingly - seems to work quite well.

You simply cannot get everybody to do things the way you think is best - even though your idea may be perfect. People just don't obey all the rules all of the time. And some people who don't appreciate being 'ordered about' (as they may see it) will buck the system for sheer spite or devilment.
And you will never ever get everybody to post the right things in the right place. It will never work. A good example: I've hi-jacked one of your threads just this morning

This is perfectly reasonable, and was in no way an attack on MK but an opinion. Hence my adding, "...However, this Forum needs another BG 100%...", which no one disagrees with. We need to be open to improvement & change. It can and will work with the right, and a positive attitude.

It would mean BG's simply checking if every THREAD was Introductory Offers/Freebets/Reloads/Cashbacks/Promotions/Bonuses/Incentives/Competitions in Forum No.1 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes) OR Chat & Q's in Forum 2 (Gambling Introductory Offer Loopholes - Chat & Q's)

Simple as that.

Cheers, TT.:beer:

Just to pick up on lanfor's idea, when i started MBing in March 07, there was an incredibly useful thread, headed Top 30 Bookies for Newbies (or something to that effect) It's very much out of date now, but if you do intend to create something langfor, then something along those lines would be very useful to newbies now.

The information would become out of date eventually, but it would give newbies some good starting points for a fair while.

As for the rest, i'm in the "aint broke, don't fix it camp". People don't post stuff in the right place, and never will, and who is to say what the right place is often.

One thing we should all consider imo, is that what one person finds helpful/useful another may not. It would be a boring bl0ody world if we were all the same, although i suspect MK's job would be a darn site easier.

1. Where do you get the 40% number from? Quote MK, "I'd like to see the MSE forum team having to read the drivel I do on this board." It is as high as that.

2. Currently on the front page of GIOL, THIS is the ONLY chat thread, everything else relates to matched betting.

It might relate to MB BUT they are not all: Introductory Offers/Freebets/Reloads/Cashbacks/Promotions/Bonuses/Incentives/Competitions, now are they? Which leads me to think you have not understood the proposal.

E.G. Current Threads: 'Billy Hills sent a cheque when I use quickcash' 'Exchange rates' 'BetOnBet bankrupt' 'Dealing with foriegn exchange' 'Bwin withdraw problems' 'betsafe problem?' '2 arbs with sportingbet' 'Ultimatcher.. Version 2 now available!' 'Request a Matched Betting Tip *Chat Required*'

You were saying MK? You do the maths, it doesn't add up.

WITH RESPECT MK:

I think 99.5% of people who use this forum dont care.

Just need bookie name, offer, how to do it and how much.

The rest of the stuff is what you get on any one-trick forum ... a few long-termers who have maintained their enthusiasm for the concept over the years and as there is only so much you can talk about MBing ..

... chat is inevitable.

Dont think the newbies bother to chat as they just want the info and to go. So...

... questions are inevitable.

Hence, chat and repetitive questions are inevitable.

Makes more sense to keep the offer and any chat about the offer in one place doesnt it surely.

At the end of the day does it really matter!! :rolleyes:
