that type of crap = racist stupid ranty crap in particular at the moment.

but in general, crap of forms that are obviously crap will not be tolerated.

stupid crappy threads will be deleted.

repetitious or totally answered threads will be either deleted and PMs sent, or locked when the answer is provided.

posters who do things like the garbage that was just removed will be banned.

i think i might have locked one of mine already, i'm not sure.

it's hard striking a balance between letting people have fun, be social, and joke around with each other and allowing the forum to be over-run with contentless drivel. i'm clearly not a poster who never posts anything social, as i'm pretty sure very few are, but there are clearly lines which don't get crossed.

when those lines get crossed, actions will be taken. don't be afraid to use the button.

"Locked when the answer is provided" sounds like dangerous grounds rife with the potential for thoughtlessness or abuse, as there is often heated and prolonged exchange about whether an answer is really right or not. I hope it doesn't all come down to mood swings or touchiness, from which certain unnamed moderators are famously non-exempt.

[/ QUOTE ]

No no no, by the types of threads I meant "locked when the answer is provided" I meant the types of threads that are like "can anyone find me this old thread that says x" or "can anyone find my aleo's guide" or something like that, not something that has debate.

i think that locking such threads is probably best for the exact reason that once the answer is provided it keeps people who famously have swingy moods from flaming the person and telling them to use the search function.

suggestion #1: maybe you should think about some of the crappy and questionable stuff that you do [like admittingly being a "dick" on pupose] before you start trying to police others. it makes no sense for you to be able to act that way, but then ban somebody else when they get out of line.

Citanul, I agree with you that these threads need some policing and that there is a lot of useless crap, but this guy has a point. You flame a LOT of n00bs who don't know any better on this board (and others), and I don't see how that's any better than flaming people who know better. I think if you want to crack down this is the right idea but you gotta lead by example.

There is an old joke about the best way to train a mule is to first hit it between the eyes with a 2x4 to get its attention. There are people on these forums who just don't pay attention.

In the instances I can recall him "being a dick on purpose", he was doing it to get the attention of people who were otherwise oblivious to reality. Being a dick for the sadistic pleasure of it is objectionable. Being a dick to convey a needed lesson can be efficient and beneficial.

People that post stupid sh*t should get flamed.
It's nothing personal (think of it as a rite of passage) and flaming people happens to be the most effective way to disuade people from posting garbage. Plus its funny, so long as its not racist/personal/overly offensive. Note: Citanul has never crossed this line.

so a guy, who admits to acting like a "dick" sometimes on purpose [who also happens to have landed the job of moderator for the SNG forum], is ok in doing so as long as it disuades people from posting garbage? seems to me that as soon as you start acting like a "dick", you end up posting the very garbage that you saying flaming disuades people from doing in the first place. how much sense does that make? you say flaming is'nt personal. i've seen flaming get personal plenty of times [one only needs to jet back to Guacho Fish & Irie's thread on a *botched* backing arrangement]. it's not fine or ok for someone to be excused of being a "dick" to someone else just because it may disuade someone else from posting garbage. garbage is garbage, no matter who the poster is or what status or image they hold in these boards.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't agree. Anyone who is ever going to have anything to offer is either going to see that he is getting flamed because he deserved it (and learns from it), and/or will have enough sense, and sense of humor, to realized that this is the 2+2 version of pledge hazing. But most people who will ever have anything to contribute won't jump right in with flammable posts.

The ones who won't be back are the idjits who don't read the threads, don't do any search, and come on here and ask if their 60% ITM for their first 13 SnGs is sustainable. They think that they made a brilliant post and got trashed for it and leave. If getting flamed for that doesn't make them think and read and then post again, then they would never have had anything to offer anyway, other than more of the same.

Many of the other forums have the same idjits making the same clueless posts week after week. They never learn and they never contribute. This forum is one of the better ones in that regard.

Citanul has told n00bs on several occassions that they should kill themselves, that they should die, etc., etc. If I was a 19-year old kid just discovering poker and I came across this site...and I posted a question and the moderator told me to go crawl in a hole and die, I would probably look at this as personal.

Did you see the post that inspired this thread?

It was a 'hate-speech' issue.

The coffee post was just a social post.

I wouldn't want to see the social posts disappear. In fact, if this place were all business, I doubt I would participate. I don't mind offensive posts staying or being deleted as long as the funny ones are kept. I certainly don't mind the opportunity to tell someone like the poster of the offensive thread to f-off.

It is incredibly easy to read about and participate in STT strategy discussions in this forum eventhough you might have to look past a few threads.

I don't see how you are proving the coffee post fits what he meant by stupid crappy posts.

OK, we can argue about what are stupid crappy posts till we are blue in the face; it's pretty subjective. I guarantee you though, if someone with 100 posts or less wrote a post that said "I like mocha cappucinos" it would be either a) deleted, b) locked, or c) severely flamed.

I would like to apologize for the total imprecision surrounding the term:

[ QUOTE ]
stupid crappy threads

[/ QUOTE ]

For now, I'm going to leave the definition at exactly that. It will be a "you know it when you see it" sort of thing. If people have contentions surrounding action I take as moderator, they can always feel free to PM me, and I will be as prompt as I can be in responding. I'm sure that anyone who has PMed me in my moderator position will agree that I have been doing exactly that.

I think that anyone who looks back at the last week or so at threads that I've locked, or deleted, or users who I've banned wouldn't be able to honestly argue with any of them. But again, if anyone thinks that I have been unfair, or am being unfair in the future, they can call me on it.

As has been discussed in this thread, the forum will maintain its social nature, and I will not be attempting to make this a strategy "only" forum. I maintain the right to post in a social nature as I did prior to being moderator because I don't believe I should be denied the rights that are afforded to the non-moderator posters of this forum.

With respect to me leading by example, I believe that anyone who looks at my style of posting will agree that I've toned down since taking on the moderator position, and that I clearly have not "gotten angry" in that time span.

citanul

Right, because nobody would discuss it with him. Whereas somebody who has been here a while and people like will get decent responses. Just like if somebody went up to a group of people he didn't know and said, "Hey guys, I like cappuchino's."

I guarantee you that I would not do (a) or (b) or (c) without cause.

So, for instance if this happened:

1) Poster x posts a silly "I like mocha cappucinnos post"
2) Poster y posts "[censored] off jackass yuppie"
3) Poster z posts "well die you hook-nosed etc"

I would delete posts 2 and 3, but leave the thread intact.

I guarantee you of that.
I cannot guarantee that other posters would not flame Poster x in that situation. And they are welcome to, as people were welcome to flame me for mine. (As they did.)
Further, you should not be attempting to make guarantees about what I will or will not do in the future. It's a bad tactic.

I can guarantee that there will be a policing of the level of flaming. Such as, racist flaming will never be tolerated.

For the record, I didn't mean to imply that Citanul wasn't doing a good job or anything.

I would hate to see any of us lose that right. Thanks for the clarification Cit.

Bingo. As usual Nick B. hits homerun.

This place used to be very informative, yet boring. In the last few weeks it has still been very informative, but social. Maybe to a newer posted who isn't in on the jokes, or who hasn't actually spent time with a bunch of the regulars it seems pointless. I can't begin to imagine what people who have never had the honor of meeting Skipperbob think of his posts, but being one of the few lucky ones who has, it makes my day.

As for me, I can only argue about folding pocket pairs in EP so much, or worry that Player X has a 5% higher ROI than me. It takes too much out of me to worry about these things. My days of serious posts are pretty much over . . . in fact as soon as I can find my flash card adapter I am going to make another social non-poker post.

As far as the Citanul mocha post that has created so much ire . . . my favorite part of Citanul's moderatorhoodship has been his efforts to be more human and social, and I think it has been great for the forum.

Even though he has done an excellent job of moderating, my favorite part of him getting this job is that he now posts more.

Citanul has told n00bs on several occassions that they should kill themselves, that they should die, etc., etc.

Yeah but has he been doing that since he became the mod? I don't know for sure...but I know that I haven't seen it in a while.

Anyone who is ever going to have anything to offer is either going to see that he is getting flamed because he deserved it (and learns from it), and/or will have enough sense, and sense of humor, to realized that this is the 2+2 version of pledge hazing. But most people who will ever have anything to contribute won't jump right in with flammable posts.

I got flamed for my first couple posts. Cause they were downrigh stupid.

I understand that all of you have a much longer history with this forum than I, but for what it's worth, in my time here Citanul has made me feel very welcomed. It's actually a compliment of all the posters in this entire forum; I ask a lot of stupid questions but everyone always tries to offer me some direction and you're quite patient. Citanul, in particular, has responded with posts that I would qualify, counter to some of the criticisms in this thread, as outright warm. Again, this is only from my short-term perspective, but I feel like my experience serves to support what Pergesu is saying. At least recently, Citanul hasn't seemed cold or spiteful. I realize that's not really the issue at the heart of the thread, nobody is saying he's a bad guy; Pergesu's post just made me think of it.

btw, i was looking through some of the post history for the user "bearly" to try and see if i could find any content, and i came upon this exchange from an older thread:

How about Mat just gives certain posters in this forum who post a ton and will keep trash out, moderator privledges. These few can just delete threads (while then pming them a link to a faq and/or a quick answer).

We could even call them the 'we stop baby jesus from crying police' .

The job of the user moderators is not to police content in the way you describe. That is the job of people like Citanul.

just though that was funny.

anyways, i'm glad that some people approve of my moderation style, and that some people are happy that i'm posting more, and that it's saturday, and some other stuff too.

hope you all are having a slightly less sweaty, but as good day as me.
