I would have voted "pie" but it's not an option.

If it makes search better because of less filtering, then yes, but on the otherhand, they usually make things worse when they try to fix them, so..no. I don't know, it is too confusing.

It is unfair for the creators of Fireplace Pokers though...

There's no reason someone couldn't develop poker that can just be played for fun using a points system that can't be traded for L$ or USD, may as well unblock that search and anything similar.

Sheesh.

Lets create some trouble where there isn't any. Banning more words now.

Why not add "card" "chip" "table" "play" "player" "chair" "place" "pie" etc., to the banned list.

Come on folks. Some people need to get a life and stop interfering in others.

Next we'll have a book like in Orwell's "1984" of allowed words and there will only be 3 or 4 words we are allowed to use like "a" "to" "and".

They shouldn't be banning any words but going after people stupid enough to advertise. If they had a wit of smarts they would use it to catch people. As it is legitimate things are no able to be advertised that are not gambling by their own definitions.

With the rediculous banning of words you can't even advertise gothic lolita clothing which has not one frickin thing to do with ageplay. Their solution... rename it. Right rename a world wide clothing style so dumbasses can ban words with ignorance.

They need to stop censoring words it goes completely against what they supposedly stand for.

It seems you have mis understood my one-liner statement ?

the word poker at current is banned from search , like the previous poster said , if someone would be stupid enough to advertise illegal "use of the keyword" it would be pretty easy to shutdown ?
