HELLO INTERNET
Silver Level
All,
We've decided, for numerous reasons, not to allow any more staking threads. The four that are running at the moment (storms, estelle, Jim, joose) will be allowed to continue, so feel free to continue posting in these, but any new threads asking for stakes, or offering deals or suchlike will be removed.
Cardschat is a forum for social and poker-related discussion. We are not, and most likely never will be a 'staking' forum. If you want to arrange deals outside the forum, that is of course your choice (and I would certainly assert that nobody should be trusting anyone with money who they don't talk to outside the forum on at least a semi-regular basis, heh), but allowing the staking threads appears to have been unpopular based on some feedback we've received, and we don't want to get in a position where they are 'taking over' the forum. There's also issues regarding potential scammings and misunderstandings that we would rather not have to mediate, especially if dozens of the things start running.
I'll leave this thread open for a while, but would prefer it if we got feedback via PM.
Cheers
~ Chris
