A few procedural things for SSNL

[fimbulwinter]

first off, the board has been reallygood lately. i think a lot of that has to do with having a mod. good work xorbie.

second, what do you guys think of a "how to post" thread. a lot fo interesting hands are going to the wayside because the poster titles them "what to do here?" etc.

third, how about a sort of gentleman's agreement to make one hand post per day with say a max of three hands. when many people put like 5 individual hand posts up it dilutes the number of responses that each thread gets and often there are threads that get posted with no good responses, which is bad.

I think alot of people find it tiresome to read 3+ hands in one post. I don't really have anything to back this up with, but I sense that the post I have made that contain 3+ hands, get few ansers.

I think it's a good idea. I believe something along these lines was going in the FAQ that was to be stickied. I clearly think the whole one post per day thing should be nothing more than a guideline since I posted three at once yesterday but that was because I thought at least one of them would be pretty quick and because I hadn't posted a hand in a while before that. But I definitely don't think anyone should really AVERAGE more than 1 or 2 hands per day.

Oh, I agree with this. But why not just select the most important one or two hands from each day and post those instead of the five most interesting ones? I think that really good discussion of 2 hands would be more beneficial for everyone than mediocre, non-concentrated discussion of 5 or 6 hands. Imagine if there were only 10 hands posted each day but every single one of the best posters made a long detailed response (or several) in every thread. Wouldn't that be SO much better than having 100 hands posted and having people kinda responding quickly or randomly to a few of them?

i think that also may be a function of the fact that you're now a known poster. if i see like TWP, you, xorbie etc. posting hands i'll open them up and respond, but very often the guy with 45 posts will post a really good hand and nobody looks or responds because nobody knows him and the post volume here is so high that his question falls down real fast.

I completely agree with your second part - all the time I see some guy decides to post 5 hands in a one hour period, and getting 1-2 responses on each, when it would probably be better to just post 1 or 2 important hands a day. And people take notice when someone keeps posting hands without really contributing to other hands.

I think that a lot of the new poster dont have the confidence to give their advice and thats why they only post their hands.

I don't think anyone objects to that (although I'm sure they would learn a lot from trying to contribute to other people's thread, too, I know I did) but there may be others who are playing NL100 or NL200 and post more than they contribute.

I don't like the multiple hand threads. If people are going to post three hands I would prefer them posting three seperate threads.

A "How to post"-thread is a good idea.
