Changes to Gambling Self Bans Started by: SoulBoy on Oct 05, '18 15:29

It would be good if you could choose which gambling games you could ban yourself from as now with the daily hustle, some of them involve gambling and it seems fair that you should be able to ban things like Dice shudders but be able to keep games like blackjack, etc. Only seems fair if other parts of the game are now connected to the gambling option (hustle points)

Agreed!

 

you only need an option to black dice Shudders haha

If you lack the self control to behave yourself with gambling, then giving people the ability to selectively turn on and off certain forms is counter productive.  I don't foresee us ever allow certain types, its all or nothing, you either have control, or you don't.

This is one of those things that will be Tough Love by us. Either you have self control to handle gambling, or you don't. I think its better for all of us all around if you either block it, or show self restraint. I think having it be selective sort of defeats the purpose of everyone's interest.

The ban there is for people who can not control themselves.  People wanted the unban feature, but, all that does is re-enable them to do the same behavior they wanted to stop just a few clicks ago - so we make it so you can only unban down to 1 day. 

The same thing with banning gambling, you either have self control - or you don't.  A guy who cant stay away from vodka shouldn't have easy access to beer or Nyquil.  I think the same theory applies here.

If you have a hard time controlling your impulses when it comes to gambling, then I think its in the best interest for us not to code in ways to undermine your own bans.

Don't think this is an issue Squishy will address.

Then hustle points shouldn't be connected to it.

Agreed. This is really unfair to anyone with a gambling problem.

How? You can lower your ban to 12 hours, wait, do your Hustle and re-ban...

(Though don't get that twisted, I'm all for a dice block/other block option)

Yeah that's great if you got the willpower to resist going all in.

It would be nice to see players that ban themselves from gambling be excused from doing the gambling daily hustle activities.

I think that's something that could be doable, but don't quote me. 

Squishy / enkindle - A simple check when the Hustle reqs are sent out to see if User has gambling blocked before setting that task?

That I would happily agree with, any player who has blocked Gambling should be exempt from hustle point challenges requiring you to win or lose money gambling.
