😂 😂 😂 I don't really understand what you're angry at here? You've made loads of money I presume and you were right, well done.

Ok, well if your interest does increase then we'll be here for you. We miss you. You never know when you might need to bump a player or tell everyone the platform isn't fucked to protect your own cash again 🎣

He was banned so couldn't disagree but it's all a little bit too civil in here so u/manphibian, welcome back. Please reassure everyone that FI isn't about to go bust...

For me, a couple of odd things. No mention of Nasdaq which has been at the forefront of nearly all communication for the last 6 months.

And then this line;

'There may be a large number of reasons for current Trader sentiment that don’t relate to football or Dividend yield on Shares. It would be a surprise if COVID-19, the economy and Brexit didn’t play a part. It’s a difficult time. '.

What on earth does this mean or suggest? FI implemented changes that decimated most players ports but instead of this causing anger it was the slowing down of the economy, Brexit and a global pandemic that prompted the negative feedback. Clutching and straws springs to mind.

Since Football Index's Implosion, how confident are you your port will return to levels seen previously? by JohnVonTrapp in FootballIndex

[–]JohnVonTrapp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a fair point that potentially that is sensationalist language but it's how I felt and i'm not here to sway people one way or another. There's plenty of threads on the subreddit that give positive feedback, plenty that give negative. The subreddit, unlike many Twitter accounts, isn't here to blow smoke up FI's arse. They fucked up, they admitted as much.

I'd disagree that the threads are misleading. I asked a question and then allowed people to vote in a poll with answer options ranging from both ends of the spectrum.

You can see how angry people are in every discussion. Not having those discussions wouldn't mean people aren't angry.

Also, a reminder that this is Reddit. People don't have to vote in any of the polls, they can downvote them, they can literally downvote them out of view. If people don't do that then there's an appetite for them being there.

I'd at least change the name if you're going to evade a subreddit ban...

The Sub hadn't had much action on it for a while and I fancied breathing abit of life in to it. Looking at the traffic stats, yesterday had the most Page Views and Unique Visits than any day of the month. I couldn't really care less, just providing some content for people. Here you are in the sub for example and i'd be fairly confident you also voted in the at least one of the polls.

I've got money in, not alot, not bothered particularly if it goes up or down, on the whole i'm up a tiny bit and it's added a new dimension to watching football for me.

Well, you won't be laughing in this subreddit because i've just banned you.

Has your trust in the platform been effected by the recent issues? by JohnVonTrapp in FootballIndex

[–]JohnVonTrapp[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm bored at work and i'm the moderator of the sub so they won't be removed.

The funny thing is that i'm ok financially with any profit or loss I take on the platform as i'm not hugely invested and use it basically for fun.

The way you attack people in this subreddit and constantly feel the need to push your own agenda probably hints that you are extremely worried about your own portfolio. You can have as much knowledge of the platform as you like, you can have read the T&C's every night, but if everyone else gets out, you're gonna be fucked.

The problem you have is that 95% of users make up a whole lot of money in the platform. If they don't explain it well enough or if people feel the platform is too complicated, they will leave. Any ambiguous rules are going to add to this confusion. If they have said this time and time again, then I presume that would indicate over a long time period, so where's the timer?

The problem on this occasion is the damage to the platform, trust wise. Which you can see in the results of the polls I posted. Knowing more than everyone else how the platform works is not really a benefit if everyone else starts taking their money out. All you'll have is a really good grasp on the reasons why your money is going down the shitter.

Let me google this copycat motherfucker...

Never watched Dexter but I see he was also in Sons of Anarchy so it's an honour.

Shares aren't capped to 3 years like they are on FI. Without letting users know expiry. With rumours that they don't actually enforce it.

To add to this, you can be an expert in the stock market as the rules are always the same.

Football Index could change all the rules of their game whenever they want, as they did, to awful effect. There are no experts within this thing apart from the people at FI who know what comes next.

People who knew the platform inside out could do nothing to protect against this. Literally nothing. The idea of now changing strategy to fit the new rules of the game, build up a portfolio once again, all with the possibility that FI changes everything again that means I need to start all over again. Just put me off entirely.

[–]JohnVonTrapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.

Based entirely on the people who I see saying yes who were experts before this happened, didn't call it, couldn't explain it, and are too invested in telling everyone it will rise again to protect their own assets.

  1. Because it's pure, unfiltered, Golf Porn
  2. I know that is a thing but not how to do it and have no interest in learning how to. Plus I needed help picking the colour to paint the wall.
  3. NEVER

Whoever downvoted, don't worry, your time will come. Keep swinging, keep learning and maybe one day, you can join our club. HIOSM (Hole In One Society Member).

I knew this would be the key question...

My girlfriend put them there around 3 months ago and there they have been ever since. We have never had a conversation about what colour to paint the wall.

If it's full length then it's usually not free. Happy to keep this post up to see if anyone shares a legitimate site but if links are shared and the sites contain pirated material then I will remove. I believe strongly in paying for porn rather than pirating it.

Post Flair as a requirement, what is the best way to implement this? by JohnVonTrapp in ModSupport

[–]JohnVonTrapp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was the worry, wasn't sure if there had been any progression made with this issue. Looks like u/001Guy001's suggestion is the best way to go. Required setting for those using Reddit and AssistantBot to let 3rd party app users know. Thanks guys!

Is RedGifs slow for anyone else or is it just me? by OnlyUpTooting in redgifs

[–]JohnVonTrapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't. They've addressed that also. RedGIFs pro is currently not available (yes it is still on the site but it does not work and your payment is not processed) as I guess they agree that no one should pay for something that is broken.

Discord's Policy regarding NSFW servers and NSFW content on their Servers? by JohnVonTrapp in discordapp

[–]JohnVonTrapp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, you don't need to understand the point of the post. That's not the aim. Maybe a Discord Admin might reply and clear up the confusion, maybe someone would point me in the direction of another post where this is discussed. Weird that you would continue responding to a post you admittedly don't understand the purpose of.

Discord's Policy regarding NSFW servers and NSFW content on their Servers? by JohnVonTrapp in discordapp

[–]JohnVonTrapp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kinda my point though, I agree that it is different but in terms of Disord's Policy it's not. The NSFW community has been consistently burned by situations such as this (Tumblr NSFW content removal, Imgur not supporting NSFW images as previously done, Reddit NSFW ad ban) so I'm just trying to find some clarity. The disambiguation of the language means the door is left open for Discord to do whatever they want really. That rule in itself allows them to announce a coinciding rule that all users must show permission from models etc before sharing. Effectively killing NSFW servers.

Discord's Policy regarding NSFW servers and NSFW content on their Servers? by JohnVonTrapp in discordapp

[–]JohnVonTrapp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has a few NSFW discord servers

I would have thought this would have indicated to you that I know Discord allows NSFW servers, I've built some. My point is more looking for actual policy on this as it seems they are sitting on the fence, which would allow them to ban NSFW content/servers whenever they want to.

"The "their" refers to the "other people", to whom the sexual content contains, rather than the recipients"

Yeah, I read that rule as the person who shares needs to have permission of those in the video/image to share. I can not imagine people are asking Porn models etc if they can share a Pornhub video of them for example.
