You went full blown potato here cam, even for you. We have rules in place for a reason and it's not subjective like you want it to be, sorry, but it works. Too many terms can be used to say kind of confirmed or I guess or some grey answer to get out of a bet. It's clear cut what constitutes a bet and everyone here even with the trolling usually helps new bettors learn the rules before hand. If you could come up with something that would actually work better, I would be all for putting it to a vote and instituting this new rule if it passed, but it can't be subjective because it creates way more ways to welch than the current scenario does, and we arent going to spend days voting on whether tommy bet sally 25 fg when she said I suppose.
I already did propose something better.
"Just change the rules to simply require
a confirmation, rather than the exact word 'confirmed' (or abbreviation)"
Someone saying "cool gl" after they agree to terms is a clear confirmation of the bet. Thats not subjective, thats a fact in accordance with the English language.
Opposition to a magic word as the only legitimate confirmation, and pulling up a direct quote of yourself agreeing with my position in the thread of the issue YOU mentioned is not going "full potato".
If you tell anyone anywhere else in the world that if they didn't say "confirmed" the bet doesn't count they'll look at you like a fucking alien with down syndrome. (sorry wisco)
Other people helping out sometimes is not a good reason to keep bad rules that protect scammers.
