The monitor's primary responsibility is to make the updates to the casino pages (using an online, monitors-only interface). To make these updates, they synthesize information from a variety of sources, including their own experiences, reports sent in using the online vpfree2 forms, and yahoo group postings.
In the past, before vpfree2, the actual database updates were very often made by someone who had NEVER been to the casino being updated. That is, the updates were made without the benefit of any relevant personal experience with the particular casino (visits, etc). Compared to this, we believe the situation with vpfree2 represents a welcome improvement. Indeed, most, if not all, vpfree2 monitors have first hand knowledge of the casinos they monitor, even if they do not visit them regulary to perform inventory checks themselves (though many do just that).
Clearly, there are some kinks with the new system that still need to be worked out and we welcome your suggestions on how to improve the site.
