Does the S & I Forum still serve a purpose?

[HedgeHog]

The S & I Forum has "officially" gone to shit IMO. Serious threads are mixed with bogus claims that belong in Players Talk only. Wasn't the original intent of this forum to have genuine discussions about sportsbooks and issues that affected them. Now we have nonsense threads about Books going under because a p2p takes 2-3 days? Really??? And legit complaints, especially against sponsor Books, are ignored by SBR higher-ups.

If this is the route SBR is choosing, why even have this forum? Keep all of it in the Players Talk Forum and be done with it. Great idea initially, but S & I Forum has lost it's significance. Someone please tell me why I'm wrong.

Its a problem without a solution really. This forum is needed because of the legit issues you talk about, but it also is about all issues regarding Sportsbooks, so the random PT worthy thread about a book also needs to be here.

The forum members serve as the quality control. There's no way to say issue XYZ is too petty to be posted and let's move it without that being censorship.

Don't think SBR is intentionally choosing this way. Those threads originated from PT forum, thus more "wild" chatting. I wish there is a way to tell where a thread comes from so it could save me some time reading through it.

All good points, boys.

I have found myself having checked into this forum a couple times a day (6 months ago), to lately maybe twice a week.

Maybe just don't move every crappy PT thread where a sportsbook name is mentioned over here, easy...
if for example someone like Smoke would start a thread, you know it's worthless for here.

I personally love this section. I check it every day for the entertainment value alone. It's where I learn the most about bonuses, payouts, backupsites, customer service, etc, etc.

This thread should be in players talk :-P

I'm not asking for censorship, just some common sense before SBR moves PT threads over here. If some idiotic thread has the word "think" in it, should it be moved to The Think Tank??? Of course not--just try it and watch J7 implode. Same reasoning goes for the S & I Forum. Case in point is the "BI is officialy done" thread. There's no factual basis for it, so keep in it the PT forum (again--not censorship). That thread is a disservice to Jon, BI and this restricted forum.

I do too. Unfortunately more and more crap is being sent over from PT, making it more difficult to spot legit threads about the subjects you mentioned.

I still read this section every couple of days.

To be fair, Justin7 initiated the original Cory1111 thread and I simply defended EZ based on how they treated me--and everyone else except Cory. Apparently, BI saw something of value in EZ too as they bought them out. EZStreet was a decent out for me--free payouts every Tuesday as I recall.

I was just busting your balls. You bring a shit ton more to the forum than all the posts or the ghosts
