From the Forum Guidelines posted in Sticky section..... Which board to post on? Knowing which board a particular post belongs on should be simple enough. General Poker Chat is general chat about poker. I know, it’s really that simple. If something is general chat but with no poker, it will find itself moved to another, more relevant part of the Community. That’s not to say it is ‘relegated’, it’s just moved to a section where you’ll probably get more engagement anyway. As it states, when we move posts we are not in any way "relegating" them, we are just housekeeping the forum to keep relevant posts in the right places. Area51 is no less important than GPC but I agree with ModTommy that anything that highlights trends, strange occurences etc is an Area51 topic, that board is meant for the "observations" ModSolar Posted by SolarCarro
In Response to Re: I'm confused : It wasn't moved because the RNG was questioned, it was moved because the thread was Area 51 worthy. Also I don't know why this has been reposted, I was monitoring the original thread and would have given a full and frank reply there if asked and given a little more time to reply. I'll leave this here in GPC for a little while so everyone can be happy there is no Illuminati wearing their cloaks and cowls, living in their dark tower ready to swoop at any post with the letters RNG in it, then when we're all happy this is off to Area 51 and the original will be deleted. If anyone disagrees with this please PM me or post here and I'll be happy to discuss this with you. Posted by TommyD
I agree you were right to move it in the first place based on the guidlines below .

"The following are examples of posts that would undoubtedly be subject to some form of moderation:
* Comments that can be construed to question Sky Poker's integrity, game fairness, security or random number generation."
I think it needs saying, because so many seem to become fixated about it.
The "RNG" as it is generically known is a piece of software coding, or more precisely, lots of pieces of coding.
It does not think, see or hear. It has no emotions, & is incapable of liking, or disliking, anyone. It does not & cannot distinguish between individual players, or IP addresses.
It does not have moods, good or bad, & it does not tilt. It does not even think, it can't.
It does not care a hoot who wins or loses, because it cannot think.
It is a piece of software code, totally inert.
It is never touched, messed around with, or adjusted. It is a simple piece of software. It does not generate profits or losses, or any revenue at all - revenue comes from cash game rake, & Tourney fees.
It does not even have a twin sister.
Here's the analogy.
A guy I know is a football fanatic, & he sees things through one eye, which is a biased eye, because he hates his team losing, so he dreams up the most bizarre excuses when they lose.
Recently, his team got well & truly thumped, 5-1. Pretty comprehensive, you'd think, yes?
Nope. Guess what he blamed that 5-1 defeat on? A female linesman! I kid you not.
We win, we lose, but we are all accountable for our own actions. We are deluding ourselves if we blame a female linesman, or the RNG.
