In principle, I first assume that Carlo is a new, inexperienced member who is looking for help here.
Anyone who always assumes the worst and just shouts "fake, it's a fake" without evidence reminds me a lot of that "politician" with blond hair.

It is indeed very unfavorable that he only gives out information in bits and pieces and that gives the matter a bitter taste. But honestly, would you register in a new forum and then post in the 1st post "I earn 60,000 € gross a year"?
Most Germans prefer to remain silent when it comes to income. Envy and resentment, joy in the failure of others - that is really well known in Germany.
You already learn as a child "Don't talk about money, otherwise others might be jealous and want to take it away from you", or "If you buy something for the child, he will always ask you again"...

Well, I'm digressing.

Why I commented here:
MerkurZocker222 is also a new member, has behaved with "I'll give you a slap left and right" and received a "warning point" in the system and a message from me.

In this thread, I really have to say, Stkrie was really "restrained" and I noticed that too.
He is right in saying that the title of the thread "when will this stop?" really sounds like a cry for help in dire need. That wasn't appropriate in this case, but you also don't know what Carlo189 is going through internally. Every person is different and takes such situations differently.
I don't mourn for long when I've spent 500 or 1,000 euros, it's like this, sucks somehow and then it's good again.

Iseedeadpeople:
I apologize for the behavior of users who think it's right to publicly insult new users.
The fact is, no one knows whether Carlo189 is real, or whether it is a fake account, but it is here without facts - directly judged and insulted.
This is not proper, gives every day the feeling that here is stress in the forum, although this should not be.

Censored here and generally in the forum also nothing, to say that again. In principle, everyone can say anything he wants, the main thing is not to offend others with it. It is annoying to have to say that again and again. We have not deleted anything in this thread here.

On the subject of business sense, which stkrie has addressed:
I certainly have that, but honestly, I don't care about money as much as some might think.
I'm fine, I have everything I need, I'll soon be driving a new VW Polo and I'm happy with that.

I just want GambleJoe to be fun, the forum to grow, new users to join us.
Regular users who misbehave and insult new users, that just does not help, so I intervene sometimes or have to apologize for the behavior of some users

First of all, thanks for reading!

Yes! I'm addicted to gambling... that already for about 7 years. In which I have gambled away about 4000-5000€

Today is the time for me to seek help. After 500€ last month and 750€ this month, I really need advice from people who have the same problem as me

It's always the same, I register in an OC, gamble away my dough and get locked. Clever to just try a new casino then. Is there maybe a way to get locked out of the OC altogether? Like in casinos

I appreciate any advice and words, I would also like to exchange with people who are going through the same as me.


I could give reasons why, why and why, and how it just destroys my life, but I don't want to annoy you with the usual chatter.

Would just love to hear how to get out of this vicious cycle...


Thanks!
What does it mean to be blocked.forever for a month or how.After 7 years, the casinos go out where you can sign up again.

When I started at GambleJoe almost 10 months ago, the community was much smaller and people were happy to see every user and post written here. Now GambleJoe is better known and with growth comes new problems. Conversations keep digressing, as they are now, and new users are antagonized, so someone needs to moderate the forum. Critical inquiries are certainly allowed, but do you always have to accuse a new user of being a troll right away?

I don't quite understand the censorship thing. In the last few weeks, only spam entries that were advertisements and duplicate entries were deleted. No idea where there is censorship, but that we do not want to let stand how here users insult each other, send public death threats, etc. should be clear. A thread of Stkrie and Sergioslot Julian had deleted for this reason in the last week.

We also wish we didn't have to intervene here so often. It annoys us in the everyday work and provides both with us in the team and in the community only for displeasure.

Personally, I also find it funny that users who want to leave because they don't want to have anything to do with gambling anymore or don't share the political views of GambleJoe members are constantly saying goodbye. After a few weeks or months they are back again. So it's fair to ask why they decided to do that, right? Especially if these users here are upset about the deteriorating quality or the worsened manners. Therefore, I see the question of Matthias to Stkrie as very direct (as one speaks in Berlin so), but not as a provocation.
