Any Forum Suggestions?

@Icy AG is a gambling forum and not a place to get rewards for personal gameplay. Why should jackpot hits be rewarded by AG? 

@Blackjax Because they work with such providers.

AG has always been ambitious to attract new members! They always wanted publicity!

Again, this is just an idea set forth. Nothing has set in.

We are already being rewarded for gameplay by certain providers. Why should providers/AG reward us for personal gameplay outside contests?

Ok. So, I came to this forum very recently, and I think it has huge potential to grow. I believe this entire section is up for suggestions, right? Since I have been on forums for a few years, I have learned a lot of things. I want to make some suggestions based on my previous forum experience and share why I believe these forums have become more successful.

Askgambler is a big platform for casinos, and the mediation part makes it most popular, in my opinion. The players rely on Askgambler a lot. But I am kind of disappointed that the forum is not growing enough. 

I have some massive suggestions that can change the entire forum. Do you think it would be wise to post the suggestions here? Or do you think I can create a dedicated thread since this entire section is for forum suggestions? @cocopop3011 @Afi4wins

You are welcome to make any suggestions in this topic. But I wouldn’t jump the gun regarding our growth, with your lack of time & posts here. Please not any AI generated content will be removed and we do not allow advertising. Right now, we’re not looking for business advice but if you want to suggest things as a forum member please feel free to use this topic of course.

@GodOfThunder Honestly speaking, we are always welcome to new ideas and suggestions, but as our @cocopop3011 has stated, we do not want any kind of advertisements, nor (my personal feelings only) any kind of propanganda biased comments.

There's been a lot of talk on various sports betting news, of which I'm not at all interested, and definitely not interested in anything to do with cryptos...but that's just me of course.

We don’t allows links or advertising as I have explained, we also don’t allow the advertisement of other forums really, bat a few but the ones you’ve mentioned are not included in that list.

Well, i got you. 

But before you deleted the post, I think you read what I wrote. What do you think about the suggestions? I am sure i Will be able to bring users and reps to this forum if you are open for them.

At the moment we are not looking to allow members to add signatures. Regarding the second suggestion of teleporting their rank, I’m not exactly sure which rank you are referring to?

Well,  I think every forum has a ranking system for forum users.  As I can see, your rank is Premium Member, while my rank is Newbie Gambler. Similarly, the other forums that I was talking about have a ranking system as all. Their rank starts from "brand new" and ends with a Legendary Rank. I am a Legendary-ranked forum member on both of those forums. 

Now, you may ask why the ranking matters. Well, both forums have some restrictions on wearing signatures, profile pictures, accessing different sections, etc. The higher your rank, the fewer restrictions on your account. If this forum does not have any restrictions and all the ranks have the same access, then it is fine.  You don't have to allow people to teleport their ranks.

If you allow people to wear signatures, only whitelisted brands could promote their casinos here through signature campaigns. You may allow people to wear signatures if they are already whitelisted. 

This is another business opportunity for Askgambler. The income from the main platform is different. But there is a way to generate some income from the forum as well. I would love to share my few years forum knowledge if you are interested. I am not just another Random guy who says this and that. I believe you won't be disappointed. Askgambler is a big name. You have traffic, you can utilize it and build a huge community.

We’re not looking for this business opportunity at the moment but thank you. Right now only members ranking on AG matters, we are not concerned about what rankings they hold on other forums.

For the members who have entered contests but didn't make it to the leaderboard, would it be alright that they receive loyalty points as consolation for their efforts to provide screenshots? Last 3 places after the official last rank would receive 150 pts, 100 pts and 50 pts

Ie.

9th 100 EUR

10th 100 EUR

_____________________________

11th 150 pts

I’ll have to check the loyalty team on this one as I’m not sure we’re awarding points at the moment

I hope for future contests the rules regarding contribution change. People have found a loophole in the contribution rule and some members who are not active show up at forum for a single day and post screenshot and five comments and disappear for the rest of the month. The rule should stay at 5 posts but these posts should be made over 5 seperate days.

This is a VERY good idea!! Okay let me re-look at our engagement rules tonight and I will definitely be changing this for the next contest if this is what people are doing. I think maybe I’ll introduce an active clause for AG contests where they have to be active for X amount of days prior to the contest too, but this will not apply to provider contests.

@cocopop3011 you can take an opinion from other regular members too. If you want I can tag the ones who are active regularly?

I'm all for changes to it but it's alot of work for whoever is verifying winners. Especially the likes of Potatohead who was banned twice on CM for not contributing at all yet still does the bare minimum here and only pops up when they want to enter something. Maybe at admins descretion etc when its clear people are just here to cash in.

That's why I suggested this rule. 

 I feel we members are not as active as AG/Gentoo expects us to be. They are investing €12000 per year from their pockets to grow this forum but it's limited to 7 -8 regular members. Also since the engagement rule was created there have been some incompetent behaviour from premium members too. Be MIA for 25 days, post screenshot, 5 random post and leave.

I maybe wrong but I feel Gentoo treats CM higher than us because members over there are more active than us. I was going through CM and saw they have contests similar to us but they are rewarded faster than us. In the past two months they hade 6 contests and 6 different invoices were sent and they were all paid(barring one) in under 10 business days(14 days).

We all have to buckle up and be more active. Posting topics is not enough, we need to create new topics too.

[Afi4wins]

Honestly and bluntly, I simply HATE seeing some members come to this forum PURELY to win cash money from the contests - these AG contests are meant for active forum members, not for those vultures!

Yeah, you know who I am referring to, so no need to mention names here.

[marius1978]

Well, it's a bit hard to parttake actively in this forum because most of the posts and topics created outside the contests-section are either AI slop or spam and I don't think anyone care much for talking to bots or shillers. Other forums have zero tolerance for this and quickly eliminate such posts and posters which increases real, honest contribution because you know you'll be talking with your likeminded.  Here, even reporting such content does nothing. Take @carbonmam - he/it has been spamming for weeks now, even by PM, and has been reported by multiple users yet is still roaming free.

[Blackjax]

The activity rule is being considered only for our 250 and 750 AG contests not the provider contests.
