What would your list look like?

I think we can safely add a badbeat forum, which can still serve as a garbage dump for silly threads.


Chuck wants this by tonight so if anyone else has alist that improves upon mine go ahead and post it. I'll give them all to Chuck with my recommendation and let him decide.

Default Re: Chuck\'s ready to make a change

my list:

split hush into smaller and bigger stakes
add 'forum suggestions' forum
add 'variance and bad beats' forum

leave midhigh alone for now and discuss the topic further. anything here is a big deal, and repealing splits/changes is bad.

midhigh is the original heart and soul of 2+2.

What about Astroglide's concerns regarding mid/high?

I'm going to start a poll to see what people think if that's okay with you.

Warning: This post lacks direction and clarity.

I'll just state again... where is the demand for a "variance" forum.

I know we all hate bad beat posts, but is the solution to shove them in a whole or just delete them with a helpful note or PM explaining why they lack value?

This is just my way of leaning, but I'd rather that we try and eliminate things that we don't like rather than shove them in a corner and ignore them. I know that the times I've benefttied the most from this forum is when people told me what I was doing wrong instead of just ignoring me.

If what you want is a "talk about poker but not strat" it feels like NVG or General has that.

I'd also think there's a case for some merging of WTP and NVG, or at least defining each different as to create a more meaningful difference. In some ways- both just end up being the "star effing" forum.

Hey Dids,

I'm not sure what forum you moderate - so you'll have to forgive my ignorance.

In my experince moderating HUSH it's been taxing to deal with bad beat / LC / downswing posts. Those who make the posts inevitably want to continue doing so AND have a place where their posts will be seen. Most of the regulars have no desire to see them whatsoever and I get multiple Notifications in my email from regulars every time a 5k stat post or running bad post pops up.

When they are locked/deleted I get angry PMs from the insulted OP whose free speech rights have been trodden upon, let alone their personal dignity. When they stay up I get questioning PMs from regulars as to why i'm allowing this BS to propagate, and it reflects poorly on me as a moderator and the strategy forum as a whole.

Providing a "Variance" forum solves these problems. The whiners get their place to whine, where other whiners can comiserate - they are happy b/c they post and get the attention they seek. The regulars and those who don't want to see it, don't have to. I can move posts to the Variance forum immediately with a short, friendly explanation and everyone's happy.

Surf

I'm brand new to WPT [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I'm just saying that from the persepctive as a poster. For instance, I don't see HUSH as overrun with bad beat posts, but if that's because it's taking a lot of time for you to make me not feel that way- obviously your argument is very valid.
