    Just like to say,
    I am totally new to this, never posted before,
    dont even know what troll is but seemingly i am one.
    i am probably a lot older than a lot of you and maybe not up to date, but
    if this is how you treat new posters, think you will run out of posters,
    maybe you will be left with a few snipers and jokers.

    I come on here looking for some good advice from poker players and got stupid replies and snide comments.
    and some very good advice from some people.

    As i said before the moderaters have to keep an eye on these clowns or nobody will put up new posts.
    Not saying to ban anybody but dont let them belittle other people, tell then privately to stop it.

    I'd advise you to PM a mod, or raise a thread about it in the feedback forum if you are so inclined. This probably isn't going to get you the answers you want.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,956 ✭✭✭CHD


    What did you expect?!?!

    You start going on about what to do with 50k someone gave you.
    If you gave some more details about your experience in poker,what games you play, your previous tournament results then the responses would have been different.

    well its about the poker forum and am only trying to make it better,
    but i suppose the negative will be taken from this too.

    you could maybe try this forum for answers re the 50k, many more expert players and a lot more friendly imo http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61

    look forget about the 50k thing.
    i looked at other posts and the same sniping and sniggering goes on,
    maybe this is the way the forums conduct their business,
    all am saying is if you want new people to post, stop this carry on.

    I told you to read my original post in your last thread. Did you do that, if so you now know what a troll is.
    i am probably a lot older than a lot of you and maybe not up to date, but
    You'd be suprised.
    if this is how you treat new posters, think you will run out of posters,
    maybe you will be left with a few snipers and jokers.
    Posters that don't engage with others and ignonre every reasonable question asked, aren't the kind of people that generally stick around anyway.
    I come on here looking for some good advice from poker players and got stupid replies and snide comments.
    and some very good advice from some people.
    I'll be honest with you, out of the over 100 replies you got, the only serious piece of advice you got was from LuckyLloyd. Every single other serious reply was asking for more information or telling you why we need the info. You chose to ignore all but 1 of those serious replies.

    People are free and encouraged to rip apart people's posts and say what they want about them. The rule is it can't get personal. People's opinions are put up for discussion and they can and will be discussed. We don't tell people how to behave, we're no-one's parents. We enforce the rules of the forum which everyone is (or should be) well versed in. And while we may occasionally tell people privately why we make decisions, generally everything we do is out in the open and public so people can learn from other people's mistakes and bannings.

    Now honestly read people's posts and give them the respect they deserve by giving a reply to any of the serious replies you got. They took the time to reply to you, please have the decency to repay the respect they have shown you, or you won't be posting here any more.

    Forget My 50k Thread
    This snipping goes on in lots of the poker threads.
    Am i the only person who sees this.

    and your answer evertime is close the thread or ban the person.
    and the clowns continue on
    and new people dont bother to post.
    super

    You come on and ask people what they would do with 50k pokerwise?

    People then repeatedly ask you questions about your game and you don't give any answers.

    Thread is locked.

    You start a new thread on the same subject, yet again including no info.

    People get annoyed because it seems you're trolling and wasting their time.

    Thread is locked

    You start another thread in which you criticise other posters. LOL

    Thread will probably be locked

    Had you made an OP giving some background info and then given people the info they asked for I have no doubt most of the questions you have would have been answered.

    There is no positive, some people (myself included) wasted alot of time trying to help you out and you just ignored everything we said/ asked.

    As for you trying to save the forum, I don't think you'll be able to for some reason, unless you can get your rich friend to start a stakeaments thread offering lots of 50k packages around.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    another man with something positive to add
    Wow.

    Are you not taking in anything that people are saying to you? Mr.Plough provided a summary of facts on what had taken place. Do you not realise that this is what happened?

    Do you have some victim complex whereby you think everyone is out to get you?

    you still dont agree that there is a problem of snipping going on in this forum, if you dont well then fair enough.

    Every single person here was a new poster at some point. If someone talks rubbish they are not going to be humoured just to be nice. If you talked sense people would treat you with the respect you deserved, but you showed no respect in the other threads yourself, so why should anyone else show you some? It is really a two way street.

    Maybe you could have a new posters creche where no snipers are allowed in, and if you want to go out to them snipers well good luck.
    but inside the creche no snipping.

    Even if you do post results and background now no one will help you because of previous antics its a lose lose situation , the jig is up ,

    I assume the 2+2 thread is definitely started by someone here as the other posts are verbatim what he posted here. If it is by the same person he is definitely a pure troll from here looking to get banned if they ever reveal themselves.

    If someone else decides to pull a stunt like this here, both their ac***** will be banned if they are not careful enough to hide their tracks well.

    -Wouldn't answer anyones questions, even down to the games he usually plays
    -Just kept saying things like "No no no, what would you do if you were in the position"
    -Got píssed with Hollaments and followed him from thread to thread quoting his posts and calling him immature/ a clown
    -Was asked by Ste not to participate in a thread and to stop derailing others
    -Got banned
