Sup bro? Dude this is the wild world of the Internet. Accept it for what it is. If you want your info/news cleaned up and sanitized then watch ESPN.

Hello. I have been a long-time lurker at this site, and my favorite forum is this one. I don't play poker per se, but I watch it allot on television with my folks, and we root for the different players like they were sporting teams, or whatever. I guess its like rooting for golfers or bowlers, but you get the point.

I had to come out and say this forum is going in the toilet. I do not speak much as is my nature, but really guys this place is no longer decent. These poker playrs you slander all day are my heroes and heroes to my family. I'm sure you wouldn't want people saying bad things about your favorite stock car driver or musician!

I think we should have a moderator that is DEDICATED TO CLEANING UP THE WPT, ETC. FORUM!!!! Personally, I don't know how Mason and Lyle havn't been sued yet for allowing slanderus writings on this site!!

I know this is my first post, but I could do a real good job. First thing I would do is get rid of the obvious trash like "sup bro" and things like that. Then, I would put in a new rule about "filtering."

If you already have more than a 1,000 posts, you can post whenever, and start threads. If you have less than 1,000 threads, you have to e-mail your proposed topic to me and I will let you know if you can go ahead and post it (if its a close call, I will forward it to Mat or Frank for the final word).

If your posts are constantly harassing and bad-natured, you will be given a warning. If you get 3 warnings, you have to go on probation meaning you have to e-mail me to start new threads. After a 75% "pass" rate on your topics, you will get reinstated.

Even if Mat does not nominate me for this job, we can do it by agreement. WE all can join in and make a pact so that you will agree to the filtering process.

Come on, let's clean this place up and still have fun guys! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

See my response to you in the other thread. Or that suicide option might work too.

Just a piece of advice for the future of your internet postings:

Never again mention that you have parents, or refer to them in any way. You just lost all your credibility with those "my dad" statements, justified or not.

Ronald, Please post your address and phone number so we can contatc you when we start our newer cleaner poker forum.

[Woody09]

Wait this wasn't a joke? Oh man, you are just slightly less gay than Daniel Neagranue.

If your daddy told you I have it backwards he should check his facts. And then he should crusade with John Ashcroft against every message board on the internet in which peole use Avatars that are tradmarked. Maybe then the internet will be safe for a decent human being like you,a person who just happens to love gambling so much that he reads an poker/gambling forum on a regular basis.
Get real buddy

Oh, so now its wrong to respect your parents and the Lord?

1. There is no utility in posting dirty words. I can see MAYBE if it fits in right with a joke or something, but just using it for effect is wrong. We are better than that.
2. I love and respect my parents. My dad is really smart and educated, and I put allot of weight in what he has to say.
3. I am not a kid. I have a loving family and I CHOOSE to live with them. I am 29 years' old. (If it helps you at all, I am a special needs person and it makes my life allot better to have people with me, even though I have been trained to live ALONE).
4. I don't have allot of money, but I love poker. I get allot of excietement watching and cheering the players on television. I wish you all were nicer to the players because I would like them to post here. I am sure Mason and Lyle would agree.
5. Even though I have phsical impairments, my mental abilities are not impaired. I can read, and I know when people are being mean and insincere. We should be better than that.
6. All I really ask is that people be nicer to each other on this forum so that maybe I can have a television pro say hi to me once in awhile. It's very hard for me to get out of the house and travel to a casino to meet them in person.
7. My favorite player is Doyle, by the way.

Id probably choose to live with my family also in this situation. Hell I might have to live with them for awile just to pay off student loans [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. Sorry we thought you were a kid.

[Wayfare]

I didn't say it was wrong. I implied that it wasn't good to post it on internet forums. People will generally flame you really hard for justifying something by saying "my dad said..."

That's all I meant to impart.

Just substitute "2+2" or any other "public" forum for "Usenet" above. One of my all time favorite quotes.
