This g9 guy owns pokerforums.org. I always thought that site was owned by Steve-O, but I guess not.
Anyway, it's ridiculous that he is demanding we have the discussion over on his site. He took my post from
this site, copy and pasted it to his, and responded there. Now he's expecting me to continue the discussion over there?! What? I don't have time to post on three different forums about the same matter. I'm already posting both here and 2+2, and that's enough. His reasoning for wanting the discussion over there is ludicrous, too:

So he's trying to imply that the users on this site are fake, or perhaps have multiple accounts to make it look like there are more anti-Lock people than in reality.
Let me assure you that, while I don't know the identity of every user on this site, it's very clear to me that almost no active accounts are duplicates, and in those few cases, the person makes it obvious and it's done for comedic effect, not to deceive. Everyone posting in this thread is individual from one another. g9olt also made the same implication about 2+2 -- that people are creating fake accounts to make the situation on Lock look worse than it actually is. Never mind the fact that
all of the major complaints about Lock on 2+2 come from know, longtime, respected grinders with hundreds or thousands of posts on the site. Rather than address this fact, g9olt is blaming the victims and accusing them of being fake. Classy.
And now he's accusing the users of this forum of being fake -- or at least strongly implying it.
In any case, g9olt, you definitely know who I am. I don't need to be on your forum to verify that. So why not answer my questions in detail rather than acting insulted or simply saying that I "don't want answers" or "am looking for material" to use against Lock. You're engaging in shady doublespeak in order to avoid giving specific answers to the tough questions, because you know that many of these questions have no answers other than "Lock is guilty of defrauding its players."
Why do you keep insisting that the Lock transfer policy is similar to that of Stars?
Stars has never refused a cashout of a player who did some reasonable playthrough, regardless of how much was transferred.
Lock is both refusing cashouts and stating a policy repeatedly that transferred money can NEVER be cashed out. This wasn't just told to a "few players". This was told to
every player who e-mailed support/security to ask a question about the policy. Sounds pretty clear to me, especially given that Lock has had 3 weeks to clear up any errors or misinformation, and yet those same 5 customer support reps keep saying the same thing.
Again, have you seen actual evidence of "transfer abuse", or are you just going by what you were told? To me, it sounds like the latter, and you're eating it up like a brainwashed cult member. Until you see evidence that this so-called "transfer abuse" occurred on a widespread scale, you should stop using this as a talking point.
Furthermore, are you telling me that ALL of those longtime, respected grinders posting in the 2+2 thread were guilty of so-called transfer abuse? None of these players even have affiliate accounts, so how could they have possibly been abusing it? Most of them don't even know each other. So they were all guilty of this? Even Shane admitted that there could have been "some mistakes" in identifying the "abusers". Oh, and notice that three weeks later, none of these cashouts have been re-approved, despite the fact that it takes 5 minutes to check accounts and make sure everything is okay.
You don't have a leg to stand on. You work for Lock, and it is to your benefit that they stay in business. That's why you're defending them, and that's why you are remaining willfully ignorant to what's really going on.
