Re: the rating girls posts are getting really ridiculous guys
 
Part of the problem is that women don't play as much poker as men. But I would think that 2p2 still tends to over represent men even within this already skewed community, which is kind of a shame. I'm not sure what to do about that, but I think a women's forum might make a few female lurkers feel more comfortable. But Felicia disagrees, and her opinion is probably more valid than mine. Such a forum would be an open inviation for trolling though, and would be bombarded by "why do chicks...?" posts. Furthermore, the necessary strict moderation of this forum would lead to bannings of otherwise decent posters, and accusations of "feminazism" by the mods there.

In all, I'm not sure if a women's forum is a good idea or not. It would probably lead to some contention.

The more i forgot, the better it is. What i'm asking/ proposing is a twoplustwo forum for females. Do we have enough?

I wonder if it could have some "build it and they will come" function. Also I think the moderating part wouldn't be as hard as people are making it out to be. It's simple if you get exiled from the girls forum for being a [censored] head and you procede to post again in it, you get banned from 2+2. easy enough.

Can't see how you'll avoid the gimmick accounts though

I think that making this forum more woman friendly would likely decrease traffic. A lot of guys come here, and especially to OOT because it's such a guy-friendly environment where they're not going to worry about gettig shouted down for a mildly sexist comment.

Also, just look at the Shana Hiatt Playboy Photos thread in WPT. With nearly 2,000,000 views, how much traffic do you think that that alone has brought to this site?

I seriously doubt people have come to 2+2 to check out pics they can easily search for and find.

I don't disagree with your overall point though

I have determined that there is no way to keep oot entirely friendly to women. Young men hate women. I think this is very close to being factual statement.

And even closer to being an awesome statement.

Just to be clear.

If that thread wasn't so long, I would have deleted it.

If somebody starts a new thread like that, I will delete it.

Yes.

Also lets say someone posts one for the new WPT girl. You won't be deleting that [censored] dids.
