THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

I can remember when I first signed up with LCB! That was when you could actually go into the Forum,click on a subject and really get results. Lately, when I click on the "no deposit casino" I become so unsure as to what I am going to find. At times, there are discussions on here that should be placed somewhere else. I remember the good 'ol days when I would not have to "hunt" for any no deposit bonuses. They were there, right in front of us but sadly today, if I see anything worth clicking on, I am lucky. Anymore, it has become too confusing with trying to keep up with the same hum drum no deposit bonuses and most of them are not for the U.S.A. players. Even the Weekly No Deposit Codes have become a pain to keep up with. Either the codes are expired or supposedly,"already redeemed." Where in fact, you know you haven't redeemed them. Even though things change and of course, it isn't ever the way we would like it to be, I continue to stay with LCB because they are the only ones I have put my trust with, when it comes to honesty. Though, I may sound as though I am complaining, I do appreciate the hard work the group has put together and I would never trade them to another. So, yes, there is no place like home. My complaments to you, LCB! Thank you.     

I completely agree, and very well written. The conversations about cash outs, the thank yous, the 'its my birthday" is getting really soapy and really hard to follow. If there is any way to filter out the conversationalism (word from Don King) it would really help to weed out the true No deposit bonus codes.

The real issue here is why is there a drought of codes... I guess only casinos can answer to that.

As of weekly codes... it represents the updated list of codes that were posted at forums by members. Its designed to help members in their search for codes.
And of course not all codes will work for every player due to multiaccounting, bonus whoring, redeeming several codes in a row etc etc.. We all know the drill

Like Lips said, we have asked members not to go off topic on numerous times, to use thank you buttons, in order to keep the board clean...

The alternative here is to delete all the "useless" posts , but I think the better option is to educate the members.

If you could change the "Thank you" (for posting) button, to make it larger , flashier, and put it right under the poster's pic, i think alot more people would access it. Also, a reward of some kind would REALLY put it into good use. Zuga you could put up a personally used T-Shirt as a first prize , and i bet you would have a contest that boosts "Thank You" button usage by %40.  I am noticing that alot of members post in order to increase their total posts and boost membership "title" I admire the zeal of wanting to be noticed, but its not the right way. Just my humble thought for helping a great community thrive.

Hi dannlok

the thank you button is an extra forum feature, a plugin, and its set by default. Meaning once installed we cant alter it.

Also I made a topic on thank you button some time ago :Want to say Thank You - New Feature, introducing members to the new feautre.

I dont think the contest is a good idea, as we dont want for thank you buttons to be abused either.

You are right about some members positng meaningless posts only in order to get the new "members title", and thats something we are trying to fight too.

Ofc we are not preventing anyone to post, but the key here, like I already said, is to educate them.

As Zuga said, educating the members should help in this matter. Although there's quite a bit of members who are not new, that do this. (Personally, you know that irritates me)

Maybe another option would be to PM members when they post  " i got it "....."nothing for me"....smiley faces and "ty" and request they do not post such in a n/d topic? Just a suggestion. It may be a bit more tedious than removing those posts, but I believe we'll get greater results communicating 1-on-1 with members.

the quest for stars

I guess I have been guilty of this in the past, but I dont want a spankin, so I wont anymore

With that said, I dont see what the big deal is to have people give comments about the no deposit bonuses that have been posted, I mean we would like to know if they work or not, if someone is having problems withdrawing from them, or if everything is A-O-K. Just my 3 cents. Again.

I had intentions of mailing this out to Lips but decided others should read this:

Thank you Lips for your reply.  All is good. I've been keeping an eye with my thread and really appreciate the comments.  I wanted to share this as an example in regards of the Grand Eagle Casino Subject for today.  I thought I would find a n/d bonus on there but it is all discussion. This is what I am talking about. It's great to hear what the casinos are doing but again, my time is valuable and nothing on there was even mentioned about a n/d bonus.

Maybe there should be a posting section just for "No Deposit Casino Feedback" concerning issues of Casinos. I don't believe anyone will stop writing their opinions down, since this is a "forum" but maybe we can be able to speed things up a little more by just "adding" a "special" section where others can express and share their experiences.

Well,I guess I'll close for now and hopefully, we all can come up with some sort of resolution. Hugs to all.

I thought of the same think slotoholic, a sticky No Deposit Casino Feedback would be a good idea. Although I know it wont stop people posting their comments wherever they like.

Thank you Mommy Machine for your feedback. I am one that has no problem about others posting their opinions. I believe we all have a right to post what we have had to go through with the Casinos concerning the N/D Bonuses...but their has to be some sort of an area where anyone can post what they have experience with the Casinos, Customer Service Reps, No Deposit Chips, etc. True, there is a section on here were we can say what we want but really, how many have taken the time to read it? Most that come on here "look" for the "No Deposit Casino" section and that is it. They want to play ASAP and don't have the time or  don't want to take the time out to read past the "No Deposit Casino" Section

In order to keep the steady flow of comments running smoothly and not be bum barded on the  "No Deposit Casino" section where it should be nothing more than, "N/D Bonuses", than yes, there has to be a "special" section administered.

Again, thanks for your comments. Good luck towards your playing..Hope you WIN Big!  ;D

Thanks ur a doll and I totally see what you are saying, I am guilty as charged for doing the very thing you are talking about, and I will no longer do that I do imagine it is frustrating for people who are looking for codes and see nothing but chatter, and I asked LCB to make a sticky no deposit feedback thread.

:-*

In my opinion as for the no deposit codes, most apply to RTG casino's, as for the check your accounts thats posted as well, and lips does an excellent job in posting them all.

Thanks Lip for your feedback. I've been a member since August 24, 2007 and it's been great. Back then, it was very easy to pull up the No Deposit Casino section and that is exactly what we got..N/D Bonuses from different Casinos. I know alot has changed since then but it is very discouraging when one can't find anything but "talk" on a certain No Deposit Casinos. I would not have ever written anything about this subject but for the last year or so, the no deposit casino section seems to have become more of a discussion forum rather than a "No Deposit Casino" section.  People need to take into consideration of others who want to find a n/d bonus code. If one feels a need to have express themselves than there has to be a 'section' just for that.

Is it really fair for others that see, (example) "n/d on "such and such casino" and when it is clicked on, there is not one n/d bonus code except to find nothing more than pure discussions that at times can go 2 or 3 pages full?

It's all about consideration for the other members. I hope you understand, I am in no way pointing fingers at anyone. Just have been dishearted lately on seeing more and more 'discussions' being taken over on the "No Deposited Casino" section.

I know it hasn't been easy for you guys and I understand that LCB wants to have a "friendly' atmosphere..I am all for that.

Thankyou again for your kindness. Take care and good luck.

Im glad people can take a minute to read through all the feedbacks, i unfortunately dont. Check out how much WORSE the babble has become this week alone. we really need another section for chat, and you could put MommieMachine in charge of it. The current Grand Prive board looks like a mess and all the responses are off topic chatting? Maybey its just me , but its getting harder, not easier to navigate a bonus here.

I personaly like the feed back from other people I feel that's what makes this site more of a family. There are plenty of sites to just get codes but they are cold and this site to me is like home, warm and fuzzy like a blanket that wraps you up and keeps you safe.

for a minute i thought there was a casino named there's no place like home and they had a n/d chip....lol...lol...lol...lol since this is in the no deposit casinos section....

i kinda agree to what i have read here...it is frustrating when u click on a nd bonus thread and see that "i did not get it" "did not work for me" ...

sometime the threads do get off topic...

BUT I LOVE LCB and am so thankful that i found this forum....

I really enjoy and appreciate the people on here and am thankful that I am part of it. We all make mistakes and personally I LOVE the smiley faces! I say keep um coming!!!

So this should probably go in the suggestions topic, but maybe on the N/D Bonus topic there could be a couple of buttons like the Thank You button- "got it!" "None for me!" "Depositing Players Only!" "No USA!" for example.  These could keep a tally.  Maybe another button for "make a comment" that would quote the original but also take you to another (NDB Comments) page? 

Yeah, kinda a lot of work.  Maybe we could courtesy color-code actual bonus codes.  Members who are really anxious for codes could get in and out of the topic a lot faster.
