Ok, so I had to get woken up to address this because it was started after any main management was gone for the day.
Bare with me, as I am not as fast at this as in the past.
First of all the Election Bet thread wasn't noticed by upper management until the other day.
There is a Major, #1 rule that SBR has that we never had here at the RX.
Personal Cash wagers among posters are not allowed by any means. Actually at SBR this is an automatic Ban.
in most cases there are no warnings, no chances, no nothing. and it doesn't matter if you were here before the forum started, or just signed up.
So this stops here, and now.
management asked me today to contact Willie and tell him to return any money that he was holding and let each poster handle their own dealings with Woodstool/Crudebar Off the forum.
and Willie didn't feel refunding/returning the money to posters was the right thing to do. He's a Standup guy and he was asked to do a job and to be the middleman with funds.
I then told him to contact Woodstool/Crudebar and have him work something out because he is no longer Welcome here. ( because of his Ban as Woodstool ) and what he did to Sam and another guy, who I can't remember right now.
Crudebar will be allowed to post an email for his contact, or give instructions to Willie to contact each person he is holding money for and let them know how to deal with these wagers moving forward. But this must be done Off the forum.
*management is not responsible for wagers being made between posters and they will not be allowed from now on.
