Disagree.

No one should be a merit source for one of the most unethical boards/sections of this forum. There is no shortage of merit for the amount of quality/merit worthy posts in the gambling section; which is very little in comparison to other, more important and non capitalistic boards of the forum.

I also think merits should not be focused on posts in this section. It does not positively contribute to the Bitcoin economy. It only concentrates wealth to unethical network participants who are exploring other users with unfair odds, ridiculous terms of service, extensive and intrusive kyc checks to ban accounts, questionable provably fair claims, and more.

What an irony. Yet you are participating in a campaign that promotes gambling. I do not see any reason why you would call it an unethical board/section of this forum. Everyone does not support unfair odds, ridiculous terms of service, or KYC checks to ban accounts. You are talking like whoever participates in the gambling section they are supporting those casinos.

If so, you are doing the same thing, my friend. Do you always see people visit the casino ANN thread and praise like OMG, this is the most trusted casino, please play here. People visit those sections to check what's going on On those platforms. They criticize platforms if they see something unfair. I do not see any reason why you are calling it an unethical board. Not all threads are casino ANN.

I love how people have a sook at who is paying for my signature space and use that as the only response to my otherwise quite valid opinion.

Sorry sir, do I have to not be a part of a signature campaign to have an opinion? If I wear a signature does that mean my opinion must also change? And if I have an opinion, does that mean I'm not allowed to share it if it has anything to do with the sector that my campaign sponsor is in?

That would be more unethical ImoM

As for the question if gambling is unethical - it undoubtedly is. Casinos, gambling, etc have always been unethical. Why do you think some countries outright ban gambling activities? Because it's exploitative.

Then add all of the unjust actions toward players and the amount of scams and robberies made by casino administrators on top to of what is already exploitative and unethical...that only validates that this board specifically is more unethical than most other boards here.

If you really think the gambling board is as ethical as other boards this forum contains, you're out of touch with basic ethics.
