Hi LCB'ers,
I just wanted to voice my opinion on the LCB shop and members who i think are just taking it for a ride,
I wont name names, but i do see and feel that even some exsisting members are taking it for a ride, even now after the shop has been out for nearly 2 weeks, even i dont ever max any of the ratings of 20, and i think that members that is maxing everyday is just abusing the system, i mean why rate casinos that u never even play in anyway, i mean yes i rated some casinos i never played in a very long time ago, some of the rogue ones i rated half a star on them,
I feel that some members are just taking advantage and i saw posts that just dont feel like genuine posts either, i just feel people are just posting now for the fact of earning free cash, i stand by the rules and i want more stricter rules for exsisting members, yes i might have done a few extra posts too since it launched, but the quality of my posts are always the same just like they was before the shop launched, also yes i admit i did a few extra casino comments, but those comments was only in casinos i actually played in or play in, i do not see any reason to comment or rate casinos that i do not play in.
Also on another note, even the members that are doing max ratings per day of 20 will soon run out of casinos to rate and comment on anyway, because once you have commented on them all and rated on them all, you will not earn anymore money on those casinos again, - so thus you will only get money then from posting.
I am so grateful LCB did this shop it just makes this forum the best casino affiliate forum on the internet full stop, but it was the best even before the shop too.
I have been a member for 3 years now, and i do not want to see old members abusing the shop system it is not fair or right in my eyes.
So Zuga, LCB staff, I stand by any new rules you can come up with to further make the shop less easy to abuse
EDIT: Also this post is not aimed at any members personally, it was just my general feelings and expressions, so im sorry if it upsets anyone, this wasnt meant in that way, it was meant solely to say how i feel to everyone, that is also why i decided to say it publicly

good post rj , as i said in the shop rules post i have increased my posts since this came in but i always try and post quality and not just a bare minimum to get coins for it. I only post on casinos that i have played in quite a bit it would not be fair to post in a casino i dont have a clue about and same with ratings how can you rate somewhere u have never played.
The aim of a loyalty scheme is usually to reward members and also to get them to take a more active role in the site but as you say the quality of the posts has to be there too.
I'm sure zuga and the team will put stricter practices into place if there is abuse. -

Agreed great post RJ. I have been a member for almost a year and i do not post thta much. I only engage those topics that interest me and when i actually have something ( intelligent lol ) to say.
Ever since the shop launch i did a handful of posts and comments and few ratings ( my current chip count is $1,3 ) and have no intention to go on a chip rampage.
Since the shop is meant as an incentive i do plan on contributing more , but it never crossed my mind to abuse it.
So to all those who plan to abuse LCBs generosity i say DONT. -

Thanks for all your feedback and support. There is always a few bad apples in every bunch and they are recognized.
The LCB shop helps to encourage more posts, threads and comments because it helps us all to gain knowledge plus engage in interactive fun topics.
For the most part it has kicked off to a great start! We can only owe it to a fantastic community! -

Lemme just say few things,
we are going through growing pains so to speak. The Shop is new to all of us. It is new to members who are yet to see how things exactly work, and it is new to us the administration in terms of how things would develop and what we would need to tweak as we go.
We will definitely change the rules a little bit to prevent further abuse attempts , but in general such changes should not have any ( or have very little ) affect to those who are already acting in good faith.
Now those already happened "chip sprees" that we consider as abuse had been dealt with in terms that purchases made off of it were already denied, and members in case were once again referred to the shop T&Cs.
I am pretty confident that lesson was learned for all of us, and even though I suspect we would have some further potential abuse, I am confident that we are on the right track and that Shop will be a huge success.
It already has a good buzz and vibe about it, so things are looking up
cheers

You think that's bad,try $11 on for size and i have been here longer then a year. Sad i have to take a small break for a while but i will be back. I also wish there was a way to stop the point count for a while and start it back up when you are ready. Especially if there is anymore contests like the comment ones we did.
Since the shop is meant as an incentive i do plan on contributing more , but it never crossed my mind to abuse it.
So to all those who plan to abuse LCBs generosity i say DONT.

On the one hand, I agreed, but on the other hand it is a direct incentive to put the ratings and comment on the casino and bingo, where I played, I think thats what LCB team wanted!
But now, I do not know..continue or not to put the ratings and comments.. im at home every day and online every day, and i have enought time for rating and comments and also posts (I commented and did post only when I have something to say and also ratings for few casinos and bingos, but never before did not rating to slots), but now i think it will make the look that I wish only collected CHIPS. this is the same when LCB team did contest about casinos bingos and poker comments, every1 did lots of comments to get money prize for it, but now if u will make too much then u will be void, then better dont do ratings. -

That is exactly what we had in mind sanchya. And that is just it, we do want to motivate members to rate and comment casinos and games that they deposited at and played with.
However we do not want members to rate/comment every single casino and/or free game just because they can earn chips, knowing they sure didn't play them all.
Lets be honest here, there is not a single member here who actually played all casino/bingo/poker/sports sites and played all our free games listed.
So we do count on member's bona fides when it comes to rating and commenting. Anyway it is pretty easy for us to determine who is chip hunting and who is not.
cheers

I think I expressed my views on this when the shop was launched.
I openly admit I did click a lot of ratings to start with. The intention was not abuse though as the rules were not fully complete with 20 a day rating limits and I purely rated games that I have played and have a rating for, opposed to blind clicking. It was seen as abuse, I appologised, had that money voided and I am fine with the fact that I can not rate those slots again. So effectively I didn't get a cent for those ratings and can't re-rate them.
I do rate slots every other day but again it's not blind clicking. I normally play a few slots for free here, then rate them or they are slots that I have played before. I don't specifically click 20 slots I haven't rated before, rate them to claim the max amount for that day and then visit the next day and do another 20 ratings.
When it comes to anything like ratings though, while I haven't played at ALL casino's. I have played at a hell of a lot. Probably all rival casino's (Weather it's been with a free chip or a deposit years back). Nearly all rtg's (never deposited at them though, was always a free chip used). In the past year alone I have deposited at betat, guts, williamhill, bgo, tropezia, betsson, betsafe, quasar gaming and maybe 10 others (Wont list them here though as my post is getting too big already).
I do enjoy the earnings for taking part in the forums but never want to abuse this feature -

Firstly will say thanks for all the replies.
I am happy i made this thread, it does make people aware too that LCB is the best forum, and i care, and i am sure many members care for this forum and staff too.
I am happy with the responses it has had too, it is nice too see members are now more aware of the rules, but it is also nice to know that Zuga and staff are making sure members even old loyal members who tried to abuse do get punished if they are seen to be abusing, and that makes me happy, cos LCB is the best forum for online casinos on the internet.
Good Job LCB -

@Zuga - I am sorry but i need to speak publically again, there is a member who i feel is abusing the system, i wont say the name, but there is, and that member didnt even post in this thread, and or acknowledge this thread.
I really think you should cap the ratings and comments to 2 per 24 hours, and forum posts to maybe 5 per day too, i just dont feel people are posting for the right reasons anymore.
Thanks -

Thanks for voicing your concerns RJ,
As I mentioned in my earlier post there are a few members' claims that have already been denied, even though they still show under the purchase list ( they are there for our own tracking records ).
You will understand that I won't make any further comments regarding this nor mention any names.
Regarding further shop rules they will be announced soon enough.

I see that some of new members writes 2-3 reviews in the same casino, so that's a little unfair i guess. They came from nowhere and rated over 300 casino Of course that's good that new people are coming, but do they be active in forums or only came for this promotion?
I know Armage, but if you read the rules, and some other threads, some members get turned down when they redeem in the shop already, and i am sure there has been a lot of people notice certain members purchasing more than others too.
Those that did that i am sure didnt get the prize for the fact it was obvious abuse. (or i hope they didnt) -

u can only get credited once for doing a rating on a particular site, game etc
when these chip whores (got term from T&Cs.. hehe) haved rated all they can rate, they only have 2 options left
they either put in the effort needed to gain more coins by commenting, posting and reviewing sites in a satisfactory manner according to LCB
or they give up and quit coz they dun wana make any effort
at the end of the day, the only losers are the chip whores, not LCB or its genuine members.
i dont check to see who is claiming wot prizes and how often they are claiming them, nor do i make an effort to keep an eye out for members who 'post alot or too much' because i no that LCB is well aware of wots goin on therefore chips will be properly allocated and prizes will be rightfully awarded
im sori but i find the whingers more annoying than the abusers -

yes i noticed the same..one new member within one month has requested 5x25$ to skrill, i was shocked, coz i really dont understand how do you can bouild up 125 $ within month lol, i got my first 25$ within more than month (inculeds posts, ratings, refferals only), so i think the same - its unfair when newbie come in and do coments.. ratings..posts only for credits.. hope they will not leave after they will rated everything here!

thanx for your concerns guys,
all i can say ( without mentioning any names ) that we already denied several claims due to breach of our T&Cs.
And couple of members have been banned from future shop claims due to blatant abuse ( stolen content from other websites in order to post comments under our reviews ).
cheers
Zuga
