Flame Wars Won't Be Allowed

Dynasty · #1 07-21-2005, 02:13 PM

There is an unfortunate habit of some posters to get themselves involved in flame wars (back and forth insults which add no substance to the thread or forum).

I can assure you that these insult posts/threads are going to be either locked or deleted as soon as I see them. Posters are not going to be allowed to turn the forum into their own personal battlefields.

Posters who refuse to refrain from flame wars will be subject to banning.

I'm a little disappointed that this post didn't take the form of a poll.

How, exactly, do you define it? For example, if you read the thread about the Matusow hand at the WSOP ME final table, Vince and I throw some insults at one another in the context of the discussion about the hand. I for one view the exchange as generally good-natured and within the bounds of fair debate.

If you have a different view and would be inclined to delete/lock/ban based on that thread, please advise.

Howard, with all due respect, you and (especially) Vince need to find a chatroom. Your reparte is neither clever nor entertaining. In fact, if I ever see you and Vince in the same thread again, I will ignore it.

Point taken.
