how may users will delete their hubdub accounts on or before April 30, 2008?

Settled as 0-2

It was 2

Background:

Background: i know how everyone like to argue over semantics so here's another one....i've lost H$10,000 in three days because of insane clarifications that now result in only one possible outcome and have received nothing but a run-around from getsatisfaction and therefore will never be coming back to this site.... http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/How_much_will_Indiana_Jones_and_the_Kingdom_of_the_Crystal_Skull_gross_its_opening_weekend_3786/view#newcomment

@rohan pics4d is fed up with questions being redefined by the editors because one person pops up and claims an alternative interpretation from common sense. without any group discussion on get satisfaction. they're not alone in wondering about this practice, although they may be the only person to actually quit the game over it so far.

well, mainly rohan i'm pissed off that they don't follow the rules they set forth when i joined....specifically the "will hillary gets delegates from michigan and florida" question from above in the background....someone asked if there were new votes if that would count?...without so much as a discussion, ryan stated that it is asking if the votes from the original primaries will be able to vote...which is not the way i and at least 2 others interpreted it....this all happened within a day with no input from anyone else and i'm frankly tired of them not following their own rules to get input from other users...so i'm throwing a little temper tantrum and throwing all my money away and hoping they'll delete my acct soon before i have to start screaming and bitching at them so that they'll delete it themselves

@rohan pics4d made a bunch of $H because of a 'bug in the system'.
now he's lost a bunch of $H because of a 'bug in the system', and he's mad as hell.
so he's betting all the $H he has on bad positions, on purpose, and is, apparently, making a bunch of $H, and did I mention that he's mad as hell.
He 'kind of' resigned today by saying he is resigned to resign but can't specifically say when he will be completely resigned, because he keeps making more $H. Very confusing. I think he feels 'spitzered' without the fun.

if you were here when i won the shitload of money u would know that i even encouraged them to reset my score because i didn't care about the money, i liked playing the game....but when the referees don't follow the rules why should i subject myself to that?...i can find the rule if u like where it says they will talk to other uses to come up with a resolution to a problem, but they hardly ever do that...they think they know everything and won't even ask others opinions on the subject even tho that is exactly what they have said they will do
posted 2 years ago
i agree with infernal... i propose that the question maker have the option to withdraw a question unilaterally based on subsequent controversy, without needing the moderator to do so, based on arbitrary clarification.... but how do we institute this and not allow the question maker to withdraw the question based on their own loss of h$??? maybe none of us vote on our own questions, ever???? the questions become better worded, more objective, and more honestly voided..... with a record there to promote one's honesty and judgment.... what do y'all think?

i hope HD does NOT delete pics4d account, because dissent is healthy and important...let's keep him around for the debate, whether pics wants it or not...

pics4d ... your helping our community get better.
better software, better decisions, better communication.
you're a proven leader on hubdub, with or without the $Hbug.
i enjoy your discourse, laugh at your quick wit, and wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts concerning 'fixing the system'. I think hubdub is moving forward quickly to implement the tools that hubdubbers have demanded, while fixing bugs they may find (or are reported) along the way.

Please do not leave the site over a few bugs the system encountered during birth/childhood. Every beta-tester knows that beta-systems will produce bugs. That the whole point of a beta-cycle. Your a very big part of that.

I say 'keep up the good work' pics4d. Keep up the good fight. But please move the confrontation to getsatifaction.com, where it belongs.

lol...they quit answering me there for the most part...i think i have more posts that are answered by other uses than by staff...ever since i got mad about the ND temperature question(which also included no discussion by staff until after it was settled)....now i'm getting told to use the "contact form" which i've never used or even seen

i agree with theone, pics buddy, you got your own lexicon on hubdub while it's still in beta. imagine what you could do in real time. and since i'm not in any of the 3 factions that you belong to, who else will be able to launch multi-faceted fistinctives at questions that i post just to see what happens?
