2007 WSOP Satellites (Probably Not True)

[chiefofficer]

this post is pretty terrible. Jeremy, you might need to do more research or talk to Harrahs about this yourself.

Pocketfives had an interview and it stated as of now, Harrah's policy has not changed from previous years. Now, we all know that Harrahs has not allowed online sites to register players in over 3 years. That's a Nevada Gaming commission rule.

In the past, 3rd parties have been allowed to register players if they sign a affidavit that says the money did not come from illegal sources.

Harrahs may crack down on 3rd party registerations. One thing they have said is that sites like Ladbrokes, who operate completely legally, should be allowed to register players.

Anyway, many of these details haven't been worked out yet.

I think it's pretty careless on the part of poker player newspaper (obviously not a creditable source), and PAW to make a blanket statement like "no online qualifiers in 2007".

Dude I simply posted a link to another site. I am not "reporting" anything. I wish I had time to thouroughly investigate every news item and call corporations on fact finding missions for speculation that I run across on the internet. If I "published" or wrote the story on PAW or at Pokernews then I suppose I would feel more careless. Although in that case, then yes I would do the research.

I don't believe anywhere in my post I claimed it to be the gospel or 100% truth. I simply posted a link. Welcome to the internet. Even looking at your response it is evident that there is a lot of speculation about online qualifiers.

I'll change the title of the post and from now on I'll be more cautious when posting links to external sites..........

Plus i saved a bundle on my car insurance.

I enjoyed the link J

I just don't understand why a site like PAW would post a link causing even more panic than there already is....especially when this speculation has been addressed on another site.

I know you don't have time to know everything, but for something that's a pretty big deal, I'd think a poker site would at least try to verify some facts.

If I owned a Ford Truck forum, and some jackleg on the internet posted an article that all Ford Expeditions were going to be demolished....I'd not post that article until there was some support for the facts.

I have no idea why a poker site would participate in spreading unconfirmed rumors.......

But whatever, it's your site (or at least you work for the site).

jackleg?
Anyway, you missed the point.
Do you understand the meaning of the word "Forum"?

From the American Heritage Dictionary

fo·rum (fôr'əm, fōr'-)
n. pl. fo·rums also fo·ra (fôr'ə, fōr'ə)
A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper, a radio or television program, or a website.

Just to add, when I first read this post I thought it was true as it was coming from Jeremy who I deemed a viable source. Of course I didn't really believe it, and did my own research, but not everyone else will do that and rely on forums for their source of credible information. Unless something is confirmed I think it is important to put in keywords like "MAY", "POSSIBLY", "UNCONFIRMED" or like it has now "PROBABLY NOT TRUE".

[Jeremy]

That was my bad....the title of the post sucked initially.
