Just thought of another recent issue!

I do think silent (pmed) bids in auctions should be banned.

because it opens up the possibility of fictional bids/rate fixing?

All this discussion seems a bit unnecessary.

The staking boards have been around for ~4 years and only one or two issues have really arisen in that time out of hundreds of threads.

I can think of 4 issues in the last month! (And another one is likely to hit the front page very soon, I believe)

Go on.... No teasing us!

+1 on this.  Just open to shady practice.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

im with MC here.

It's worked for 4 years....

1. Requestor puts a staking thread up
2. You stake or you ask more questions then stake or you let others stake.
3. Requestor Sells out and advises.

There you go.

Ok perhaps issues was a bad word. Whilst issues have been raised, I don't think they have affected the occurrence/outcome of a stake.

How many stakes have really gone wrong or needed any mediation that didn't involve betting on tennis, or involve someone called Fergus...

There has been a number of disputes arising from staking posts recently.

I just thought having mod (s) would nip alot of these disputes/arguments in the bud.
Only disputes ive seen are from people poking their nose into staking threads that they have no intention of investing in, and quite frankly just being nosey and obstructive.
Staking threads are so dependant on the market forces that will always decide if they are good or bad value. Ridic that a mod should interfere or anyone else that is not a genuine investor IMHO.

This was pretty much the status quo, when the staking boards started and we had at least a couple of issues. Where nobody said anything and blondes invested in people who were flakey. Then we had the whole debate whether people should intervene.
