Ok. I'm just going to have to step in it here. I have to ask.
Why are we still advertising Lock poker? What am I missing....
While I am so pleased that CardsChat supports its members and this site has gone out of its way to help people with late payouts, etc; (making me glad I joined this bandwagon) I'm still a little confused. Not helping are the banners above this window as I write this, that do not have a "Lock" tab, but at the list of topics, there is one there. As if we ourselves are not sure about this?!?
The site has some horrible issues that just are not going away. They have done things which suggest a less-than-advertised quality of service. While I agree that there could simply be a lot of rumor and speculation going on, unfounded at best, panic driven lies at worse, they just do not seem to be a site I would trust putting my money into. Several things that they have done that are a matter of record make it so. This entire "no longer honoring player-to-player transfers" issue...they hock this feature, then renege on the deal leaving players SOL? Do I have that correct? And what about the security issues I have been hearing about...passwords not being encrypted? WOW. And that is just the tip of the iceberg?!?
Look, I have no horse in this race, so maybe I should not be speaking of it. I am just a new guy. And of course, If I am lucky enough to make the freeroll league, I'm sure that sooner or later I'll be playing there. And I have no idea of what CardsChat is getting in return for this advertising outside of hosting the freerolls we have there. So, the up-ies could well outweigh the down-ies for us as a community. I mean, come on, if you are not charging me for everything I am getting here, it's got to paid for somehow or someway!
But I'm getting that "Full Tilt" feeling, if you know what I mean? So, just where do we stand?
