Ok,
I know a complaint has been already issued about this but I just feel the need to complain now also.
Everytime the safe is cracked its by someone that has <10 posts in the forum. I dont like how people can regester win and not have contributed to the site at all.
I think there should be a minimun 10 posts to be able to try at the safe. It hurts the players here who try for the safe, post , exc.
I just think maybe we should put a min of 10 posts to try to crack the safe. This would def brg more people to the forum.

Yes, this topic has been raised a while ago and I think that BRM is still thinking about it. there was a discussion there that involve a russian user who do not know english therefore can't even relate to posting. click on buzz so the admin can update you on this.

It's okay. It bothers me more as I have been a member here since oct and STILL haven't cracked that darn safe!! I believe that registering here and getting approved for free bankrolls is enough reason for BRM to give them a chance at the safe.

thats a good point never thought of that. Forgot you had to get approved first. I just wish they could make more of a contribution to the site you know?

I have to agree with you Goldenstud92 it is unfair that regular posters get done like that. The safe is another added bonus that BRM provides and it should be for people who actually want to contribute to the site. My opinion anyway.

You guys, I agree that it´s unfair... some time ago I complained too! But the fact is that the safe is for ALL members, active in the forum or not. I´ve given much thought to this and reached an answer: Some people might not contribute with posts, but if they can afford to buy many mob shots, is because they are doing very well reffering people to the site. If this is the case, then they are inddeed contributing!
Forgive me for saying this, but it does happen too!

Yes but you must remember that for example Poles ( i'm a one as u can see) also don't understand english at all. But there is a difference in understanding english and understanding software in english. They are just used to play on english softwares and they already good know what call, raise, bet means . Sometimes poker rooms offer play in their language, while BM offers them only no deposit promotion. I think the fact they can't speak english doesn't mean they are not good players, they can win wsop speaking russian.

The idea with the safe was to make it for ALL approved members and also use it kinda like a "signup promotion" members will get a little extra than "just" no deposit bonuses.
im2good4u, which is almost a veteran here , is right... Even though I too would like to have every possible mobsafe winner make at least 10 posts in the forum, then I really don't think much good will come from it. We will see a rise in the amount of "spam" - or even ontopic posts but within every random thread - just to get those 10 posts and be able to crack the safe.
By the way - the best way to contribute to the site, is to make a deposit at the sites you play trough us. I promise, we won't go out and buy candy and cakes each time somebody makes a deposit but, each deposit helps a little bit and will help extend the bonuses so more people will benefit from them.
And we will be able to go out and say to other pokersites "hey whats up, we have this bunch of great and loyal pokerplayers, they're good quality players with a high deposit-percentage, how about giving them a no deposit bonus for your site?" - Instead of "we have some loyal players that never deposits, want to give free money away to them?" ... if you catch my drift?

I have idea how to solve this.
BRM should get connected with some English language online learning site and provide non english speaking members of BRM with basic english knowledge for free and allowing them to cashout mobpoints to that online school so they can advance in classes as they want to. Also BRM could start some online school offering basic english (template) classes, something like poker lessons online. Then BRM can put that 10 post restriction on cracking the safe. And offer some rewarding points for each lesson succesfully completed. "Hi, my name is Bill. This is my friend Jill."=10 points.

And how do we know some english dude dont use the lessons just to collect points? A good idea though, but i know there are tons of "poker language lessons" out there, if you search.

Posted by mrslade: Does it really matter? The odds for cracking the safe are so high, that yours of winning are so low, that it is a waste of time even trying...
they are 999-1 and thats not that big in the grand scheme of things considering its a free bet with a nice cash prize , i say keep it how it is, 10 post b4 you can crack is silly imo, but this is only my second post so i would say that .

I say keep it how it is too. I think the reason for people cracking and not having many posts is that maybe there are alot of new people here in the last couple weeks. When BRM has a freeroll it finds many new members.
