My Take On [censored]\'s Actions
I used to post a lot in OOT. It was fun, the threads were new and interesting, my fellow posters were, with some exceptions, pretty cool, and I found myself here much more often than anywhere else on 2+2.
Now OOT sucks ass. Why? Because it's been flooded with millions of retarded infants who have no common sense, no guage of reality, no valid sense of humor, no dignity, no idea how to deal with women - really just no clue about anything. Put very simply, I have no desire to converse with them ever. So I leave OOT. I occaisionally stop by, just to see if there's something interesting, but there never is. It's always some nonsensical bullshit about lame their girlfriend is, followed by countless responses of "SIIHP." But then one day I stumble on something about how [censored] is an [censored] and should have his mod privilegas revoked immediately. "Hmm. That's interesting, I always kind of liked [censored] (largelely because the first Ms. OOT was really cool), I wonder what's the problem." So I do enough asking around, find out what's going on, and get a little excited. "Maybe there is hope for OOT," I say to myself. I think his plan is great. Let me say quite frankly just how bad I think things are right now. Today's average OOTer is so lame, I'd be in favor of locking OOT from everybody who didn't have a post here before 6 months ago. Would we lose some good posters who have some valuable things to say? Sure. Would it be very unfair to them? Absolutely. But you know what? You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. If there's a little collateral damage, so what? It's for the greater good. We're not talking about constitutional rights, people. If you're a retard, get the f*ck off my forum. Any questions?

Re: My Take On [censored]\'s Actions
Why has everyone got some sort of ego on here....
Its a sub-forum, on a p*ker website that people drop by and read amusing stories/anecdotes etc etc... I have no problem with [Censored] and his bannings but instead of cleaning the place up, its more cluttered with people criticising the bannings etc... My problem is that some people are immune to the powers of the mods because they are mainstays of this forum... For example, El Diablo makes a extremely valuable contribution to this forum and I imagine lots of people would agree with a lot of what he says. However, if another poster made a post about cufflinks and dress shirts, would the same response be generated if not completely ignored. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I lurked for 6-8 months prior to registering... I would be the first to admit that I may not start many, if any threads of any quality so I don't try to. However the unecessary squabbling that has begun to occur since the new modding is getting tedious, and to suggest banning people who weren't here 6 months ago, is borderline stupidity. Sorry, Reality Check time...this is a forum in which possibly 30% at the most don't play poker......So banning people who are regular posters on the other sub forums, doesn't make sense...Banning trolls, shills and other pests is not a problem with me....Just that all this whining between cliques is boring... Apologies for the rant, but work has been boring this morning....

[/ QUOTE ] what are you talking about? that post is exactly what OOT should be all about! it's people with real issues and questions, asking other people who have real life experience. that one cufflinks post is the essence of OOT, and i didn't even read it. i'm just saying that's how it was in the "old days", just a bunch of smart people asking real questions.

Re: My Take On [censored]\'s Actions
But my point was just to illustrate that 1 persons cool post is another persons uncool post...
I wasn't having a pop at anyone...I just think the bitching on this website is silly... So giving someone the power to ban at will is a dangerous tool on a public forum...

[/ QUOTE ] "dangerous"? come on... you just said "dangerous tool" and "public forum" in the same sentence.
