asking for trades and transfers is against the rules here at 4king....

hi

Ive no doubt its an innocent mistake but KJ is right we dont allow trading / swap posts to protect ALL members from any problems

best suggestion for members with a decent amount of posts and who know members well and "personally" is to PM them - but only if you know them not just random members ;-)

cheers scrawnybob

ps. I know other forums allow trade / swap / staking posts -
maybe this is something we need to think about and poll on at some point ??

i have traded/swapped/staked with well known established members...i just don't do it in the open

[Peteyweestro]

Aha, thats why i couldn't find a thread about trades, i am sorry guys for being in ignorance of the rules, its my bad and wont happen again.

Has this been a problem in the past or something Bob.? I would naturally protect myself. Your a new player with 12 Posts I would expect you to transfer the $$ first to my account and then I would transfer you the funds. Its a great forum with many long time members from online Poker. I would never think of Stiffing some-one because it would spread to every forum i belong to ,,, lol

well, sb, up to u. if you allow it, what is gonna happen is that somewhere down the line someone is gonna holler "cheat" and stuff. the drama will come at some point or another.

On the other hand, it is sooo usefull to have a friend able to transfer with you so u can play. Personally, I would transfer to any well recognized 4K member if they PM'ed me.

It's a trust thing, and of course I always want the other to go first. At another forum, I have seen folks wanting to trade their Paypal money for ur poker site money. this is usually a scam, as they will transfer first, u transfer next, then they dispute the paypal transfer, so u end up the loser. Beware any trades like this.

As far as staking goes, at another forum, I stake the occasional player that catches my eye. that is with $1.20 stakes at Pokerstars, or $5 games at Merge and Cake, or FT. Ok, if you would allow that here, I would make the occasional stake to someone. Part of my practice of paying it forward theory after a bigger win. call it karma enhancement.

But I have staked peeps in the past that just dissapered. so if you allow that here, u will at some point find drama associated with it.

but there are reasons to allow transfers, as we get new players such as Peteyweestra, that wanna play, actually have $$ at one site, and need a transfer, so they can play our other games. I think we need to encourage and help that kind of player. so Petey, PM me, and if u go first, I can help ya.

gl with the issue sb

Thanks for the input, PM on the way sir

i have been a member here for a while and didn't realize we didn't allow transfer posts. i have transferred hundreds of dollars the past year but only between friends or to players asking who were willing to send first. if voted i would vote yes but also caution anyone who does it to be smart about it. even though i haven't been cheated i have heard others who have been. worst case scenario find a trusted middle man to be on the safe side.

I think private transfers between established members or team mates isn't wrong but it should just be via PM and not publicly discussed. I have transfered succesfully to a member myself and also been offerred help myself but it's all been by PM
