Subject: [vpFREE] Should Rob Singer become a "moderated member" of vpFREE?
Greetings from Las Vegas, Home of Positive ER Video Poker:
I invited Rob Singer to become a "moderated member" of vpFREE,
subject to some special restrictions, and he accepted my
invitation, to take effect when I thought the time was right.
When I extended the invitation, I was laboring under the delusion that
vpFREE would be converting to full-moderation, which would afford
greater control over disruptive situations. Now that we're sticking
with semi-moderation, I would still like to honor the invitation,
because I don't like having anyone banned, and I'm confident that the
agreed on restrictions will allow his participation to be handled in a
non-disruptive manner. However, learning from the moderation vote, I'm
going to run RS's participation up the flagpole and see who salutes,
via a new Poll I'm setting up. Then, If a majority of the voters are
against his being a "moderated member", I'll withdraw the invitation.
If less than half are opposed, he will become a "moderated member".
*******************
RESTRICTIONS
He will be allowed to post a monthly trip report (with the standard
vpFREE Rob Singer disclaimer appended) in which he is free to talk
about his system and anything else that is VP related, as long as he
conforms to vpFREE Rules and Policies, and Posting Guidelines.
In his other vpFREE posts, he won't be allowed to push his agenda
(promoting discipline and short term luck as the only way to VP
profits) or to initiate any discussions of his system.
vpFREE will continue to carry his weekly GAMING TODAY column.
I would prefer that his participation doesn't result in discussions of
the Rob Singer agenda or system. Both have been covered extensively on
the vp_heaven Yahoo Group, and further discussion IMO is counter-
productive. If any such discussion develops, it must be long on facts
and short on anecdotal evidence and rhetoric. Prolonged, disruptive
threads won't be allowed.

The Rob Singer Poll will be ongoing, but I'll tabulate the results on
Thursday 6 March to determine if he becomes a "moderated member" or
not.
