My take on this is that question "stealing" should be encouraged. I really don't mind someone creating/repeating my questions, which has occurred several times before. Therefore, I don't understand why someone would be upset at that: I'd be happy(It saves time, removes the 12 hr thing). Maybe the new creator could include a tribute to the original creator in the background?

lucidstates... Dude, come on. The fact is, I may not be a celebrity, but even though I'm petty sure that they wont use my pictures for cash, the fact is that defamatory comments could be written. You may not like it, but you're looking only at one side of the coin.

P.S. I'm not yet an adult yet. Who knows, I may be a celebrity yet. And I'll send you a *signed* picture. :-) – rohan, on April 19, 2008 12:28

I too feel that that sentence should be edited.

rohan replied on April 09, 2008 12:33 to the idea "NEW and IMPROVED" in Hubdub:

I'd like: (more important ones in bold)
->A way to set reminders sent by email at a specific time for a particular question

->A way to mark a question for future reference.

->Information on pages of new shouts (like the challenges thing)

->More, newer and better implementation of categories(i mean like "most active" and "newest")

->An automated question creator which allows repetition of a question with a few minor changes like suspend dates. (eg Team A vs Team B- Who will win on dd/mm: enter A,B,dd,mm OR <index name="true"> - will it close up on dd/mm:Enter index name and dd,mm)</index>

A comment on the question "Result of the vote" in Hubdub:

Option 3: fine down to H$1,000 - 5 votes
Option 4: close account - 13 votes

Similarity: If he does come back, either way he is down to $1000.

Difference:He would have had a question ban thing and we woulda been able to keep any eye on him. – rohan, on April 09, 2008 12:21

On the contrary, I think we Hubdubbers made a foolish decision. Option 3 would have been better. Now, he can open a new account AND create questions. Option 3 would have had the same effect 'cept no questions could be created

Ok. My turn. The cheating label was wrong: I was pissed that you called me a cheater. Sorry. And you don't have to start a new account.

That's the bug I'm talkin about. I would have given you proof of that by a statement from Hubdub on getsatisfaction, but unfortunately my profile on it doesn't show the bug posts that far back.

rohan replied on April 08, 2008 10:01 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

It doesn't matter if YOU never admitted anything. There was a bug; unknowingly or knowingly, it was to your advantage. My point is that while you go around accusing others of gaming, yourself you have no ability in predicting markets.

As to the HD thing, you pretty much tried to get others to go along with you so that you could cash out.

I called satyaki stupid because of his" leaderboard" comment. He's a close friend of mine, so there is no need to interfere- if he has no problem, then you shouldn't either. You accused me of gaming. I didn't cheat. Don't accuse me without proof.
And yeah, might I know when I defended satyaki? By any chance was it when I created a hubdub question telling everyone about the bad odds?Why dont YOU read your posts and find out who's a troll
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion. Yup, that's you all right.

rohan replied on April 08, 2008 03:01 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

Please,dson't plead innoncence.
1. pics4d and you moved up by over a hundred thousand due to a bug in the system, which was freely admitted by Hubdub and pics(many times).

2."I've not gamed any market". But you tried. Your "Howard Dean" blah blah blah was an attempt to make some quick $$ ( I'm not the only one to think so)

3."So, what the heck are you blabbering about now?" You accuse me of being in cahoots with satyaki. Maybe that's why I brought up the gaming issue. Real smart.

rohan replied on April 08, 2008 02:40 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

Once again, you are condoning Satyaki's action.
Maybe you should read my posts more carefully,. I quote from my own posts "I am NOT condoning satyaki's actions".

You and Satyaki have been following each other through all the markets since Hubdub went public (beta), and now I'm not so sure if you and he are in some conspiracy to game the system.
I don't think you have any right to accuse someone without any proof of any sort. That's called "slander". You're probably saying that out of jealousy. You got to $200,000 from a bug in the system, and even though you were "two heartbeats" away from some power broker, your attempts to game that market failed. Talk of gaming, look at yourself. Even though you got $200,000 when everyone else ('cept pics4d and infernalmachine) were at $50-60,000, you couldn't maintain that position 1. Shows how good you are predicting the news. Just because your attempts to game failed, you go around accusing other people. What a SORE LOSER

rohan replied on April 05, 2008 13:36 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

A lot of people here are unreasonable, vindictive and generally have strange, unconvincing and silly arguments. And its a sad thing that they are thinking with every organ of their body 'cept their *alleged* brains. Half of you don't make sense and just want to take revenge. As Nigel so aptly put it , "MOB JUSTICE".

I am SURE that atleast 20% of the users here have cheated, gamed or acted in a way not expected of someone playing fairly. This has nothing to do with satyaki, but it would be nice if sometimes you people practised what you preached. Settlement requests related to HUGE spikes in the correct option are common (meanderingsearcher is one of the few I have seen where 45% remains at 45% even after he submits a request). And be reasonable. Don't go around criticising Hubdub. I think that apart from being a bit slow to respond, they are doing everything correctly. If justice went by Hubdub standards, every alleged criminal, whether guilty or not, would be convicted before the authorities even heard of the accused. Satyaki might be guilty, but there are many more.

rohan replied on April 05, 2008 11:33 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

Yeah, I was the one who made $1500 on the Rockets. Go ahead and take it away: If you don't want to, I can bet the extra cash on any impossible outcome(Eg DOW closing below 10,000 in Q1 2008). No question of me making money with that, because I have a perpetual excess of cash( currently $320,000)

rohan replied on April 05, 2008 04:18 to the discussion "Proposed new procedure for dealing with gaming" in Hubdub:

hi.
I want to make it clear that I am
NOT

defending satyaki's actions: it's just that I felt going on "strike" and posting comments aren't sensible means to get what you want. But then, looking at the non-responsive staff, I think that that is the only way to go. Though I don't wanna go on strike.

I think that these measures hould be taken:
1. When questions are made which repreent local interests, by any user, then the question should be flagged and suspended. A user who actually knows something about this should be consulted and they should provide substantiated proof that the question is OK or not.
2. Satyaki: Reduce his H$ to $25,000. I don't think anything could be more bugging to him. ban him from creating more than 2 questions a week, which if voided for a gaming-related reason will lead to a fine of 25% of his wealth or double his wager, as the case may be.
3. Hubdub: become more responsive. PLEASE.
