share this sentiment based on answers or lack there of...but I was short of a decision and can't be sure. I do not like SIM even more than I do not like "backtesting"...the secret code word for the SIM Society.
Hey @Inletcap I've learned a lot from you and I respect you a lot so please don't take any of this the wrong way.
I think when he was considering having a charge for the room, it was basically to cover the expenses and maybe keep the riff raff out. He mentioned that when the room goes over 100 people, it increased the cost of the chat room and I believe it was mostly intended to pay for that. When it came down to it, he decided against charging and ended up funding all the costs on his own which for an 18 year old kid, is commendable if you ask me. I don't think its really fair to get upset at him just because the thought of charging crossed his mind. It doesn't really seem any different than having a charge for the forum, the way that Big Mike does. Keeps the trouble makers out and gives everyone a reason to take it seriously. I don't know if you've had a chance to log onto the room or not but Alex has mentioned your name quite a few times and I know he really looks up to you and some of the other frequent posters on futures.io
Anyway that's just my take on it. Again, I have nothing but respect for you and really appreciate all your contributions and efforts around here. I try to make it down to the inlet a few days each year and expect to run into you sometime and when I do, drinks are on me!
The Kid is "18", been trading for 2-3 years. Hardly the credentials for running a trade room.
The writing style in his posts portrays someone much older than 18.
Either way, something is off.
Just my 2cents.
"Free markets work because they allow people to be lucky, thanks to aggressive trial and error, not by giving rewards or incentives for skill. The strategy is, then, to tinker as much as possible and try to collect as many Black Swan opportunities as you can"
Since he broke the forum rules (according to @Big Mike he promoted GTR without disclosing his relationship with them), then I don't see how the ban can be undone. Pretty simple - rules are rules.
If he gets unbanned, we will be headed down a slippery slope.
