I got quoted in a few posts...my work is done here...lol.
Bottom line is this, if you feel you are getting ripped off...leave. If you go to BTCG you are doing a disservice to BTC in general and in the end are only screwing yourselves.
Yeah sure, there could be better communication here, but for the most part everything runs smooth 98% of the time, so there is no need for all the extreme crying when one simple block has a database issue and then it gets repaired eventually. Your shares are recorded in a database, in case you didn't know, and even if the block is confirmed and the payouts say "None" this can and always does get fixed.
I just think it's funny when this happens and all the trolls come out into the light and show their ignorance of BTC pool mining, or just ignorance in general. I have been a member of Slush's pool for a long time, and it's by far the best that I have experienced.
That's my 2 cents so you can bash me if you like, I don't care, I am an adult and I act like one too. I can handle it without wanting to kill myself because some guy on the Interwebz made fun of me...lol.
I'm not making fun of anyone but as goes with my internet service provider or my car insurance provider, I will leave if I don't get service. That, grown man, you can't argue with. Things may get fixed eventually or some slip through the cracks because small business owners like myself don't have time to babysit the pool for its operator - That is theft.
Really, you shouldn't be doing pool operator's job anyways. Let him come here and prove that this is a better pool.
