Wow Norm. You are most benevolent. I see you have thought this through. Kinda makes me step back and question my own responses. I am a bit frustrated and exhausted with this whole thing. I feel that it has detoured us away from sharing our experiences in the game of Blackjack and advantage play. However, I do believe that this needed to be delt with head on in order to be positioned for the next mannyolaer that comes along.

Move most of Manny’s threads to the Disadvantage Forum.

This is a great idea.

I am all one for second chances, and if everyone who was deemed "useless" of information was banned there would be no open communities at all; however, when you make one exception soon you will find your forum overrun by scammers and pretenders. At my forum I had very strict policies and even charged members a small fee in order to weed out the undesirables (not saying I recommend that, but anyway )....

If you allow Manny to stay I highly recommend restricting which sections he may post in........he created two different threads with the exact same title.........

Such activity is unnecessary and keeps other, possibly more important threads, farther below or even out of sight.

When was the last time you were casually sitting there, sipping your delicious beverage in front of your computer and saw something so whacked out and funny that you spewed a mouthful of what you were drinking all over your keyboard breaking into hysterical laughter? Well, I have done exactly that a few times over the last few days. An otherwise boring and uneventful day was blessed with smiles and laughter... and perhaps a little windex or something to clean off the monitor screen and keyboard.

That's all well and good but it's as you mentioned Norm, a link to whatever it is on this forum could imply to someone (that didn't specifically know otherwise) an "endorsement" on the part of this forum, so maybe if any spamming and links he posts can be deleted so no one gets the wrong idea? Can you picture Manny training a card-counting team with his awesome AP knowledge and leadership? I want to HEAR about the progress on that for gosh sakes! What troubles me (as I'm sure it does you and most others here) is any potential for some unwary soul to get caught up with any sort of bogus scams... Hell, I was giving serious thought to the $15 for the "Invisible Knights of the Vegas Night" or whatever it is just to see what it's about. After reading a few of these posts I would interested to see just how silly it can get. I want to see just how awesome those AP skills are... You know, on the same level as Semyon or MIT Mike, perhaps the flair of Arnold Snyder? Maybe more in the direction of Cipher? Magical mystical stuff? Having fun is having fun but I'm not too keen on his links available to the general public via this site.

I just discovered that he spammed Bryce Carlson's blog. Straw/camel/back. Indeffed.

He didn't know the rules and should be given a second chance AT LEAST.

Ignorance is no excuse! Try that line with the state patrol!

Without a good comm-line from reliable surveillance we could all wind up on the DHS No Fly List.

This is a crock of shiet. I don't care what Manny tells you, this will not happen to any advantage player.
If you don't believe me then I will get a written statement from my friends the Feds.

Yes, but only enough to wet my beak.

Can you clarify? Has he recruited you, and this is why you are defending him?

You have feds friends too? ('feds' not capitalized)

I think I liked you better as a hillbilly rapist.

Tom is very interesting, that is for sure. I think we would all be very surprised to find out who he really is,,,clearly an associate of Norm. I think maybe his last name is the opposite of "Low Water", maybe not, maybe Arnold S. throwing in with Norm? Maybe he is a well known movie star staying incognito, having been trained by Maz and Bojack,,,or maybe Viktor Nact?????????Nah.

Very interesting anyhow.

T. Dane??

Manny, if you are reading this I took down a big poker game 2 days ago, when I was through the table was left with 2 players and not only was I flush with winnings from the pot's, but the casino even paid me,,,still a dangerous game and a lot has to do with luck. Don't feel too bad about being banned Manny, I have been banned many times, from sites and casinos, but never for scamming, just from being a "BAD" person

You are correct, I made a capitalization error. 'Feds' is only capitalized at beginning of sentence; however, I capitalized for emphasis in this case.
I mentioned in another thread that I am part of a liaison with the FBI. In addition, I know 2 individuals personally who work for DHS.

Ouchez, you have quite the vivid imagination. I am not associated with Norm or any of those other people you mentioned. I would not call myself a movie "star" although I have both produced, worked on, and acted in movies and television shows, including several you may have watched.
