ACR Is Antisemitic?
wtf is this I’m looking at? Player ‘iWasOnly17’ is on the FT of the Venom, I believe (could be wrong) he’s from Israel. wtf does his location read this?!
Whatever your views are, Israel is a an established sovereign country, ‘Palestine’ is not. I could understand someone in Gaza’s location being labelled, albeit naively, ‘Palestine’ but, I doubt there are any poker players there and if they are playing high stakes it’s Hamas higher ups so you have bigger problems regarding KYC/money laundering to worry about if that were the case. But ‘Palestinian Territory‘ is wildly inaccurate it never was or has been, for thousands of years it’s been Judea & Samaria/Israel - furthermore ‘occupied’ is an absurd description, Israel left Gaza in 2005.
What the hell is going on here ACR?

Ill contact my ACR rep as this is outrageous.
Every time something like this happens you think who is in charge of making decisions like this? It’s not even accurate, people just want to express their socio-political feelings any chance they get.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it before here. Can’t recall where but it’s unacceptable, imagine playing on this site for any big sum, infested with bots, team pros using solvers and antisemitic lunatics running an offshore, unregulated site. Amazing really.

It really is. And it’s everywhere. Money does not buy class, in fact it’s actually counter productive because this probably turns more people away from business than it does positive
Nothing against Barak but he IS currently residing in occupied Palestine. What do you think this entire conflict is about? Perhaps if I claimed god ordained your home to me and I kicked you out of it, you'd see this issue more clearly.
Tell me more about how have absolutely zero clue about what you’re talking about.
By that absurd logic everyone in the Americas is living on occupied native land. Same with Australia and New Zealand and dozens of other nations. That land originally belonged to the canaanites anyway Arabs have zero legit claim to it.
Yes, I think some people would argue manifest destiny was an injustice. Good observation
Palestinian households have deeds to their homes issued by the Ottomans and the British, a bit more recent than the Canaanites.
I highly doubt this is intentional from ACR and that they instead, at some point in their development, paid for a list of all countries to insert into their software and whoever made the list was the one making a political statement. A unforced error of oversight? Perhaps. But when your company is held together by duct tape by a handful of employees all assuming multiple roles within the company (think both software developer and customer service rep) it's not a surprise that things fall through the cracks.
The solution is to just use ISO-3166: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1
That list is freely available and what many such professional organisations use.
Agree that this is terrible look. But I also assume it is most likely outsourced list of countries to someone else and not direct ACR decision. I hope.
Your hunch is correct. ACR is almost certainly using some third-party geolocation API and does not have direct control over country names.
I'm sure there's a relatively simple workaround, but ACR has a storied history of elevating the simple tech things into clusterfarks of epic proportion.
Whenever I open this thread takes me to the new version of 2plus2 that I never use. Is this a bug?
No, it’s the new interface. I made another thread in NVG about that too, new interface sucks all types of bugs and horrible to navigate and use, after 17yrs of 2p2 maybe this is the end.

ya its garbage I def prefer the older one. Although the ability to like/dislike I suppose is coo

For sure. Slower, buggier, nasty looking interace. Redirecting to the new site by default (without any indication of which URLs redirect to the new site, let alone a warning) is the cherry on the stupid sundae.
This is by design. Turtles need canals
As of June 2024, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 146 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, or just over 75% of all UN members.
Careful, you might be called an antisemite for saying the truth.
ACR is a shit site. They got this one right.
Imagine getting triggered over a label in a game that you're not even playing in. lol
I have been in their 2nd highest rewards tier since 2019. It matters. Unless you play on the site are you just ignoring the irony of you weighing in?
Imagine complaining about words on a poker site rather than about that that country ethnically cleansing Palestinians
Ah its you again, now I know your opinion on anything poker or non poker is based on complete garbage and should be ignored, what a moron. Enjoy grinding the micros too fish.
Charles can you point out any other group/people that has been able to start several wars with its neighbor, lose each time, and continue living there? Displacing them is in their benefit. They're insistent on starting wars despite being the inferior side militarily.
Suggesting they stay cruel as you're guaranteeing thousands more of them die when they 100% launch another attack. Their leaders have proudly said they will over and over.
Uh like 50, 000 people have died out of over 2 million how is that anything remotely close to approaching "ethnic cleansing?" You take meaning away from that term when you use it so inappropriately you crybaby.
Even the most conservative sources say the Israel has murdered three times that figure since the occupation began while displacing 1.9 million people. How many deaths are enough for you? Despite this, I think this thread shows pretty clearly shows who the crybabies are.
Trump openly called for ethnic cleansing.
No he didn't stop watching CNN...
Lol this this thread is so idiotic. There is nothing antisemitic about using Occupied Palestinian Terrorist as it is legally recognized across the world for Gaza and the West Bank, even he Supreme Court of Israel has ruled that Israel is holding the West Bank under "occupation."
If that player is in a city like Ramallah or Hebron the country code would definitely be right. It also doesn't mean they are "haMaS" because there are actual people that live there who may have money to play poker or maybe they sattied in for cheaper?
Palestine isn’t a country. Cope harder.

All these nasty suckouts I get on there finally make sense. When I signed up with them they had a question on the registration "Are you Jewish?" I think they rig the RNG depending on how you answer the question. j/k
