- I'd like to have RSS feeds for these various lists.

- I'd like to have an WebService interface, so i can build my own desktop application

- I'd like to have the Market detail-page load faster (separate content from the "details", "comments", "news" tabs into ajax requests which run only if the user changes the active tab or load asynchronously after the page itself has loaded completely)

- I'd like to have the new open predictions list pushed further and applied to the other lists. what really is missing here is the progress indication (busy.gif) and the paging functionality

He lost all he gathered by cheating...
this should be discouraging enough to see that cheating does not pay out. if he comes back he has to start all over again. and if he behaves like a fair player, no one will complain. so it is a chance too, like jers, starting over with a clean record. – kruijs, on April 09, 2008 09:24

i noticed that too, and i had similar problems in some of my markets.

but auto suspend could be abused to freeze a market

i am still thinking about what kind of advantage that would bring to the one causing it - i don't know that really - one thing is: it would be a way to sabotage markets or market creators.

this would be a problem especially in time frames just before regular suspension would occur or when markets have a really short period defined from creating until suspension.

is this something for the notice board? wait, i have to wager first :-P

not wanting to take position solely for jerry here. your excuses are noble too, rohan :)

can we get back to work now?

Hi, jerry
I followed your controversial with rohan for a while. in my opinion, all of the early adopters have had advantages from biased market percentages. hubdub has corrected many of these behavioral inconsistencies in the past weeks.
I don't know if you yourself took advantage of these knowingly but i think others may have done so.
in this way it should be so that after the beta stage of the site all users should be reset in my opinion without the need to create new accounts.
i think your reaction to rohan is fair, not to say nobel. you take responsibility for what you said before.
I hope to see you again soon.

again, you did not read what i wrote:
your answer "The strike was never meant to be humerous" does not fit my post "the striking thing has lost its humorous touch."
i did not think it was meant as a joke, but more as a creative, inventive way to tell your thoughts. and i appreciated it.

if it wasn't meant humerus in any way, than its been blackmailing from the beginning.
i would not want to have any users on my site, if i were in the position to decide, who tried to blackmail on me. criticism is fine. constructive criticism is very welcome. but if you are not able to contribute new, inventive or helpful posts anymore than either i should not read your posts, like you say, or you should not post anymore. i am interested in other posts, though.

"Thanks for your input. "
- You're welcome

I have asked for them to make a decision all along. We were told that a decision would be reached today.
- they are doing what they promised

Now we are told there is a vote in which we will know the results tomorrow.
- the vote was an idea of them to involve the community more. just what you wanted. the community pointed out, the proposed way had caveats. they listened to the community and proposed a second way.

We have proposed rules in which the user would be banned under them.
- they listened and made up their mind, proposed official rules by which in the future such situations can be solved in a fashionable way. the were open to comments from the community.

We have admin admitting errors.
- they seem to play a transparent way

That is why we are where we are.
- me too

What we have occuring now is the admins obviously don't want to ban satayki for whatever reason,
- why are you so sure? have more faith.

and now are going to use the results of a blind vote to justify thier position.
- they are not in a position where they must justify anything at all. when they decide to act in a certain way, than thats their decision in the end.

Wasn't you that started the Golden Rules for hubdub players, in which many of use top users who are now on strike spent countless hours reading and offering suggestions, for you to end the thread by saying not to listen to any of the opinions anyway.
- i thanked you all for contributing. the post telling not to listen was made in a ironical way (which i did not make clear enough, i admit) after some implied such strategies to alienate unexperienced users.

If you look back at that threat interestingly enough I pointed out Satayki cheating then too, but you said it wasn't important to discuss.
- thats not true. when you refer to what i said, do it the right way. i said: "Gaming actually is a major issue. But not a primary topic on this discussion. "

I am asking that if the admins want the users to provide an opinion then give the users all the information so they can vote having all the information
- i am not happy with this situation either. but i have no better solution on hand. plus: remind that we have discussion this over the weekend. now it's Monday. in my eyes their reaction is quite prompt.

Thanks for letting me defend myself.

the striking thing has lost its humorous touch. i have found it was a funny idea in the beginning. now its getting on my nerves.

you are getting childish, destry.
you cannot expect ever all full details of all users suspected gaming, nor all details of any process made in the sd case. you just cannot expect it. you must trust the hubdubresponsibles to make a wise decision.
you do not contribute to this anymore in a constructive manner. so why shouldn't you yourself get banned from here?
if a decision is made, and you do not agree to it - you're free to take the consequences and leave.
nigel and his staff are doing a great job here. they try to reach a consensus here with all participating users. if you do not want to contribute in a fashioned manner anymore, please consider to leave right now.
