** This Saturday, February 2, 2008, mobmembers are prohibited of communication outside the Bankrollmob Forum.**
The thread “Mobmembers Contact INFO” created 2/2/2008 at 19:06 GMT, has been closed:
Posted by Administrator: Sorry guys, I've been instructed to close this thread, as it our current policy does not allow this kind of contact information to be disclosed between the members.
I feel that this course of action was unnecessary and a sign of disregard.
This is my personal opinion and no one else who posted in that thread has anything to do with my opinion. So if anyone is to be punished for this thread here, it should be me.
I hope that this will be understood as an attempt to protect the best interest of the people who spend their time posting, helping, and contributing to make this forum what it is today.

Posted by Im2good4u: Dunno, but it could be to stop fraudulent activity or for collusion prevention on some poker rooms.
If it was such case, then we are being judged as evil people who would intentionally cheat in the game of poker. I don´t think the nice and hardworking members of this forum would exchange e-mails for that purpose.

Yes, that is true, however, i just think BRM is being careful or they won't be able to get new no deposit bonuses.. We don't want that to happen don't we? So let's just follow their rules and let that be. PEACE!

As you can see posted above, nowhere in the rules it says that forum members cannot exchange e-mails. It is the same thing as censoring me to give any personal information I feel confortable giving.

If follow all Rulez if there was one to follow. Scroll up the Page and show me this Rule please. In fact. there is no one. in the meantime i follow this but would have an answer why we are not allowed.
Members who wants cheating find a way to contact other once. If there is a rule or not.

Don't get me wrong dude, I'm not favoring either side, yes BRM hasn't said anything about that but if it's gonna kill them in the long run then I wouldn't want that. We also would like to share private conversation that's why we have requested for private messaging and at the moment they are thinking about it. Let's just wait for their decisions.

Posted by CunteN: I dont feel it is nessecary to start a new thread so i ask here!..
Why cant i change password? Are my account banned or something?.. Or why cant i log in..
^ ahh hmmm and why in the world would you think that posting that message in here would do any good. A question like that you should start in a new thread and don't make this post go off track. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't really know what to say in this case. I never been a fan of censoring but on the other hand. BRM promises to protect our privacy and they would never give out any of our contact information. Remember these guys have a copy of our ID, name, mail, address etc. Maybe someone would take advantage and use the mails you posted for ill intent. Maybe it could somehow come back to BRM and then who's to blame ? Them because they allowed the post or you for posting your emails. If you really want to swap contact info then agree to met in a IRC chat room or an alternative. There you could swap all the info you want. It's not really a big deal. At one time we will get a private messages system and then we can semd the info to each other through that system. Hope it helps

Yes, let us do this. A pMsG System or chat would it be nice So that, fair and legal Users have a way to communicate outside the BRM Forum.

It is a possibility, yes, but that does not change the fact that it should be OUR decision to give out OUR information or not. The individual needs to able to make his or hers on decisions in order to form a solid productive community. Otherwise it becomes a dictatorship, and we all know from history how that turns out!
Master, the possibility to use your affiliate website for ill intent is the same, so you shouldn´t post it here? See my point?

Well mobmembers, what I can say from all of this is that a great idea emerged from our discussion in this thread, which is to implement a PRIVATE MESSAGE SYSTEM at bankrollmob.com
That being done, it would cover the problem of mobmembers not being able to communicate to eachother outside the Forum.
All of this being said, we wait for a response from bankrollmob staff regarding this issue.

yea i can definatly see why the site wouldnt be allowed to do that.. other poker rooms wouldnt like to give free money to use while haveing us talk and organize ways to "cheat" and "commit fruad" but i really think that is discriminatory but its for their security... needless to say what about refer a friend then? if i refer some1 i obviously no them and talk to them? so its a very thin line there...

Under no circumstance, was the exchanging of e-mails in this site between members, an attempt to cheat or participate in any form of collusion. I created the thread and gave out my MSN contact to anyone who would like to chat.
As a result, many people added me and we have great conversations about poker and life in general. I must say, not once in those conversations did anyone even dare to say anything about illegal poker activities!
between (a) you, the end user, and (b) the website BankrollMob.com (Company).
I can't find that rule in the Terms and Conditions.
