Two small changes I think would be good...  

1) i know this is Facebook esq but to be able to like a post would be a good idea...  It could act to show support or agreeance of something.

2) A place where you can see how much you have gambled, made, lost etc.  

As for point one i can see a downside of it as people might not post as they may just 'like' instead...  Does anyone else have any thoughts about the above suggestions?

For the first suggestion, a person can roleplay that they like the thread. This would just take even more away from the streets, in my opinion.

For the second, I don't really see a con to it, but if you wanted to keep up with how much you have made and lost at the casinos, you can keep a record in your back alley thread.

1) People can say their agreement in a seperate post.

2) Just ask the casino manager, they have records and can tell you  if you ask and if they want.
