Should gambling talk be allowed again?

    To date, the 'no' side has delivered a number of highly emotive arguments against.

    The question was also deliberately phrased so that a motion for change - a 'yes' - should mean an absolute yes.

    Yet 'yes' is clearly winning the day.

    So last chance for all who are interested.

    I'm going to lock this thread (if I can do such a thing?) in the morning. If the result is still then on the landslide side of things, I'd kindly ask that the mods look at ways to downgrade the anti-gambling stance of the charter.

    You can't lock it but I can and should have the day it was started. Topics like this should have been run by a moderator of the forum before they were posted.

    As the poll was left anonymous we have no idea who voted so it is worthless in my opinion - we get posters who only post in here during tournaments and they could have voted yes for all we know. The "no" posters as you put it are the regular users of the forum and from what i can see they nearly all said to leave it as it is which is my intention - i will run it by my co-mods to get their opinion first. As we said before there is a dedicated gambling forum and gambling thread which is more than adequate.
