The poker mods are idiots imo

Lafortezza

So the poker forum is growing and growing, and we have decided to look into the idea of adding a new moderator or two to help keep track of Solkjaer's alternative accounts as well as keeping an eye on the forum in general.

We haven't decided if it is definitely necessary yet or what type of person we want but there may be someone interested that we haven't thought of.
So feel free to nominate yourself, or someone you think would be good at the job, considering the following points.

1) If you are already a boards moderator that's a big plus.

2) You have to know and understand the atmosphere of the poker forum. It's a lot more lenient that any other part of boards by necessity, so keeping the peace and clamping down on shenanigans is accomplished more by feel than by strict rules.

3) Members with a longer history of participation and helpful contribution to the forum will obviously be preferred. I.e. regulars who post good strategy and advice or who have organised boards.ie tournaments and so on.

4) You should actually care about advancing the poker forum in terms of getting new members, and keeping the content to noise ratio high.

5) An interest in the live tournament scene around Ireland would be a big plus, since neither me or Ste05 play a lot of live donkaments or cash.

We've already got one or two names interested or put forward so we'd like to see who else would give it a go. That's really all I can think of at the moment, so feel free to shout some names on this thread or by pm to any of the mods. Also ask questions etc here.

DEEP THROAT

To keep the peoples republic of cork contingent happy I'd nominate corkie123

Mr.Plough

dbc2007

BigCityBanker

OllyK a perfect choice, he actually mentioned to me one night in the SE that he would be willing to do a 12 month stretch as a thank you to the community that turned him from a huge loser into a recreational player/marginal loser.

Mr.Plough

Seriously El_S would be a good choice imo

thechamp87

dagunman would probably do it. he's busy at the moment but i'm sure once he's home from vegas he'd be delighted to do it.

nicnicnic

I nominate Yuletired

CHD

i nominate nicnicnic

or KevIRL

Ste05

Cooker for CHIMPMOD.....he also extremely nerdy and would never ever multi account on boards or LADBROKEs... he rather cut off his tail.

YULETIRED. redjoker, carfaxs father, El_stuntdude.
Can I get an encore, do you want more?

KevIRL

Wow, i'm surprised and flattered that people are suggesting me for the post. I'll leave it up to the mods to decide but if they want me to help out I'd be more than willing. I spend a lot of time on the poker forum anyway, and dont mind giving something back.

eagle eye

I did not want to put anyone forward that was not interested, but now that Kev is, I vote for him too.
In all fairness he has done a great job 'so far' on the heads up competition. He is a regular here and seems like an ok dude. And from chatting to him at a poker table today he seems to also fill that live donkament requirement, I think he said he was in Waterford.

Good luck with it Kev.

Icarus152

Kev.

dannydiamond

All jokes aside,
why would anyone want to do it?

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

Kev for mod Yuletired for president and Holla for Taoiseach

hotspur

A mod from the country??? I'm not sure I likes this alarming shift away from capitocentric anti-small town jingoism. Bertie giving way to that cow/man Cowen and now this, the country's in a state of chassis I tells ye.

5starpool

I'm surprised that the omnipotent hotsur isn't up to date on the mods bio's and origins.

Also, my only criteria is that it isn't a cork person. It feels good to pretend that I will in any way decide though

There were a couple I had in mind that I haven't seen mentioned here, but apart from the obvious 'nominations' there are a few pretty constructive posts here.

kevIRL for this oscar & gl

OllyK seconded. A level-headed fair poster, who's never shown any animosity to anyone.

ollyk1

When I first saw this thread I thought Laf had finally seen the error of his ways and laid the ubermod burden down .

Good luck trying to find some other lunatic to try and herd the cats around here!

I can think of plenty of good joke candidates but if pushed for a few names of people who I think would show a genuine commitment the list wouldn't be very long but some people I feel worthy of consideration are

Lazare (definitely a student of the game, very well known on the live scene and independently minded)
Flushdraw (perhaps more of an honorable mention for all his hard slog around here as he's not as involved or having access to the interweb so much these days for some reason )
Ozpoker (not everyone's cup of tea but he has a no nonsense attitude and is a man who strives to improve the games we play in everything he does)

I f**king hate you Lenny.



Not that I've ever been asked to perform this dubious honor but if I was I would decline due to the fact that its too much work with very little thanks and I'm not that committed to the forum (I hope :rolleyes:). Actually Lenny I'd have proposed you for the role only you've stopped playing it seems!

tylerdurden94

Im sick of olly always gettin a neddle in on my threads/posts

I do think he would make an excellent mod thou, best of luck with it olly

Glowingmind

ABO

Anyone But Olly.

Think about it guys, he'll use his mod powers to edit ours posts for extra needle power. Plus i heard he tried to kidnap el stuntman's mojo hobo.

Cheers for the (non-) recommendation, Olly . It's not so much that I've given up, it's just I find it really hard to play in the summer months. I shall return...

RoundTower

redjoker is a good one who only got mentioned in passing

semibluff

good luck with this olly

Mr.Plough

second ozpoker. RJ would be good too

Tony_Montana

KevIRL is the man

ozpoker

I appreciate the recognition, but I really have no interest/time. I'll continue in my role as eccentric curmudgeon.

Olly is the obvious choice.

RedJoker

I'd be interested in helping out.

1) If you are already a boards moderator that's a big plus.

Nope

2) You have to know and understand the atmosphere of the poker forum. It's a lot more lenient that any other part of boards by necessity, so keeping the peace and clamping down on shenanigans is accomplished more by feel than by strict rules.

I'd take a very lazy lenient approach.

3) Members with a longer history of participation and helpful contribution to the forum will obviously be preferred. I.e. regulars who post good strategy and advice or who have organised boards.ie tournaments and so on.

I think I qualify here.

4) You should actually care about advancing the poker forum in terms of getting new members, and keeping the content to noise ratio high.

I'd like to see a sticky in the hand histories and theory section with some gentle encouragement for people to stop sucking and some links to good threads.

5) An interest in the live tournament scene around Ireland would be a big plus, since neither me or Ste05 play a lot of live donkaments or cash.

lol donkaments (nope)

ROCKMAN

Would be nice to have someone outide Dublin , How about

speaking of around, has anyone seen Tony Flushdraw , he gone missing these last few months.....he would make a great Mod. and probably an excellent husband.

Dub13

I think Olly would be a great choice.

Dub13

Oscar would also be a good choice IMO.

you obviously havent read what the thread is about..we are lookin for a new mod!!!

I used to mod a college forum in UCC so I've some idea what ye guys actually do and I agree with the gist of the lads here, I think Olly or bohsman would be good choices.
