Posted by zeroster: before you post your vitriolic bile.
off-topic but i'm kinda curious about the origin of this phrase/ figure of speech vitriolic - something related to vitriol (sulphate. sulphuric acid) - something that would be acidic bile - basic secretion from liver

Lol, no. What happened? This thread was supposed to help curb the arguments and instead it became one. And an entertaining one at that, I know I can't handle a woman with balls, lol.
Just for the record: I don't think anyone on this forum disputes the fact that online poker could possibly be rigged, we're just tired of people spaming the forum with accusations that one site or another is rigged without any evidence.
It's slanderous spam, some react impolitely (which is wrong) but try to understand their frustration we get these comments nearly daily.

You get these comments daily because its a forum mainly about poker and this is one of the main issieus players come across in online poker.So its more then logical lots of talk will be about this subject and it will be for a long time to come i BET.
And about that evidence thing....if it was possible for us normal civilians to prove a pokersite was bogus in whatever wich way house/tournaments bots, house players , rigged RNG , controlled wins and losses etc....doesnt matter..then there would be no (possible) rigged pokersite online.
Off course you cant get proove...you think these people who actualy made this software will make it obvious or even possible to proove they are doing something wrong...of course not.
So stop asking people for evidence,million hand historys or whatever because of course no one can proove anything .... that would be very stupid if there would be any evidence to find. And people behind these sites arent stupid for sure....

Aatje, I should've also been more specific: We get the comments daily and in multiple threads. It would be different if the discussion was organized and intelligent but usually it's ranting and people just tilting over their loss.
Also you're right, no one can prove anything. The trouble is, 9/10 of the people who claim a site is rigged claim to have proof and they cite their poor results as evidence. And that's where the frustration lies, they pass their theories as fact, and new members (who don't know better) get scared and it is important to this community to protect and promote our new players because they are in a critical stage.
So in the end, we have a bunch of new threads, all of which we have to comment on so that new players don't get mislead and it gets exhausting.
Hopefully, I was able to convey why it's a touchy subject around here. And on behalf of the forum I appologize if some of our members hassled you more than necessary. Hopefully, you'll stick around and see that there are plenty of members with merit.
