obviously theres plenty of uninformed punters with more money than sense. someone put $2000 on beautiful crazy. They did that at $3.40 apparently. The week before it could not have got an easier run in front,yet never looked like winning from the turn. Then it was like punters were thinking,well someone put $2000 on, so they all jumped on and it closed at $2.20 Maybe thats why they have that big bet aleart on trackside,they put that up knowing they have the horse at stupid short odds,knowing the big bet alert will entice punters to back it anyway. All a cunning plan. -
Fine. Dont watch if you can't hack it. By the way jumping has been driven into the ground more than flat racing because of inept industry control. -

I realise @Murray Fish you are as thick skinned as some of us but seriously do you condone some of the stuff you have seen written? Sticks and Stones is your philosophy but each of these organisations have a responsibility to their licensees and staff. Sure some of the drivers for the vitriolic responses could be removed by the agencies doing their job properly and/or being responsive to the stakeholders they represent however that is not an excuse for misbehaviour. I've heard many stories about certain fiefdoms where stakeholders have been abused by industry employees and when complaining are met with what you called isolation, alienation and blackballing. But the good old industry is good at going "well I better live with it and not escalate it to the authorities as I'll be unable to train". So hopefully the Open Letter is a warning to those individuals and emboldening to those affected to do something about it. -

It was sent on behalf of the named organisations who composed it - so the buck stops with the CEO's and Board's of each organisation. Those individuals are well known. -

Why do you need to know the extent or severity? Isn't just enough to know that it is happening? Perhaps they are. Or if not this is a general warning. Personally I see nothing particularly wrong with the Open Letter. Some of the stuff I've seen has gone way over the top and in many cases really personal. The irony doesn't escape me that some of those that doth protest loudly are enabling some of it. Again it comes back to the Open Letter being a general warning. I wouldn't be surprised if recidivist offenders if licensed will be warned if they continue. Recently there have been attacks on here against licensed person. In one instance I spoke to the person targetted and they were OK as in their view the posts reflected more on the person who made them. Another was raised by the authorities and I hid the posts from public view and warned the poster. Now if a licensed person and/or the RIB choose to go down the filing a charge path then it becomes a very expensive exercise for all. If the person isn't licensed then the process of making a complaint to the Harmful Digital Communications Act via Netsafe can be chosen. I've seen cases where both thresholds have been reached. That is they have gone well past the Kevin Moreton standard.
