Each morning, the Mods have a quick shufty round the house (Forum) to make sure there's been no funny business overnight.
Today we awoke to a serial spammer, who'd crapped on 8 threads. This included the RIP John Matthews thread, in which he's said.......
"Very sad to hear, our troops do a great job.
Try (link to poker site)."
A Mod moved all his Posts, & Banned him.
What sort of brain must these spammers have? If I wanted to try a bit of under-the-radar spamming, it'd be pig easy. Multi-spamming threads, from a newbie, for goodness sake. I wonder what the "hit rate" is?
The internet is ideal for these goofballs. If you saw this geezer walking down the street, you'd spot him in a trice, & cross the road to avoid him. But their voice can be seen & heard on the Internet, so they think they can get this shite through.
I wonder what the IQ of your average serial spammer is?

A lot of them are bots. They are AI controlled and just spam the crap out of things.

I found it particularly distasteful that he did it in the RIP and our troops threads...don't think I've ever been more pissed off with a spammer, to be honest.

Agreed. And it was not a bot, the reference to the Armed Services proved that.
There are some truly dreadful peeps around these days.

Just saying. A lot of them are.
Not defending them.

Both are well worth a visit, especially now that, sadly, Walsall seem to have pretty much given up on Poker, &, of course, are messing with our Prize Pools, which I thoroughly disapprove of, because it's the thin end of a dreadful wedge.
Sigh
Looking forward to seeing
my money
you on Thursday Tikay! LL bet?
Thursday, yes on both counts.
The sigh - you approve of Casinos taking money from Prize Pools? Nah, I must misunderstand your sigh.
The GUKPT main they are taking 5.666% of the prize pool

Am I correct in assuming they are taking this money out for tips?
If yes, this is totally and utterly outrageous.

Maybe I'm daft but isn't the 5.666 the £60 of the £1k? ie the reg fee or is it on top of that?

Its the reg fee
I think James is being playful. There's a big difference between making all players pay a standard 5-10% reg fee up front and doing what Walsall has just begun to, taking the fee only off those who cash (in an attempt to boost numbers)
