blonde poker forum

i have been making a lot of posts yes but all of them are legitimate posts (ie plenty of constructivity in the pha section)..... i didnt start the thread in this section with my name it, nor did i ask for it...... i feel its unfair to remove all of my posts and make me repost 300 times.... i am a reasonabley well known member of the poker community anyways so its not like im just spamming for the hell of it!

could a mod either post here or message me and tell me why im on probation??

thanks

Probation is just the category for anyone under 10 posts.

If you're going to take the piss, you have be be a bit less obvious about it.

The 300 posts rule isn't a piece of red tape to be circumvented by people who feel they can because they're known on here from elsewhere - otherwise we wouldn't have the rule.

i feel thats unfair, i was making very legitimate posts in all the threads i posted on. see pha for examples, even one of the regular posters cambridge alex, whom i have never met or spoken to, suggested i was making a good contribution

just because jason herbert made a stuipd thread which had nothing to with me and it loks like im taking the piss, i dont think that should be taken out on me.

and in noway have i ever tried to circumvent the 300 post boundary, i urge to read the posts i made in the context with all the threads and fairly tell me that more than 5% were spam or unworthy of being posted

In that case, perhaps it was unfortunate that your huge output of posts, which looks like a race to get to 300, coincided with you selling $30k of staking elsewhere.

yes i am selling elsewhere and yes i would like to sell on here also, but as it happens 60% sold out of what i would like to sell anyways..... i was frustrated with everytime i wanted to post a package or buy anything here i was always way short of posts and couldnt do so (didnt really have the urge to do it at the time), the fact that i had a package up for sale and had a lot more time on my hands after finishing uni and returning from holiday merely instigated my desire to be able to buy/sell here.

i apologise if my actions could be perceived in a different way to what was intended, if you refuse to reinstate my legitimate posts then i guess ill just have to it the hand way and hope the next 300 legitimate posts are not taken as spam to get to that mark.

sorry if i have wasted time out of your day

Hello Karl.

The Mods don't have an issue with you, not at all. I doubt many of us even know you.

We are not blaming Jason either. He means no harm, but his encouragement of this tactic once again cost the Mods a lot of wasted time, and on a on a Bank Holiday Monday to boot. Such is life on a Poker Forum as a Mod. As I say, he means no ill.

We DO think that you were deliberately circumventing the 300 Post Rule though.

You DID know the Rues, too, because you commented accordingly, several times. You said, in 4 seperate Posts..........

lol, pretty sure if i did that the mods would just remove them all and make me post them again.... 

trying to make 300 legit posts bc if i have to redo this shit i think i will hang myself.... posting 300 times i really hard when you are trying too post that many times!!

actually i could just torment you and keep posting in every thread until 7am.

maybe if keep posting all night and u cant sleep, you can beg the mods to let me have marketplace rights so u can sleep and ill stop driving you crazy

The Rule is there for a reason. Not everyone agrees with it, & it may not be ideal, but until we find a better one, it stays, & will be enforced. It is a Rule made with good intent.

It took you three years on blonde to make 100 Posts.

At 7.30pm last night, you Posted a Staking Thread on 2+2 seeking $30,000 (thirty thousand dollars) for WCOOP. Within hours, you made 51 Posts on blonde. After taking 3 years to contribute 100 Posts.

What are the Mods expected to think?

Reducing your Post count to Zero? Guess it was just a bit of quid pro quo.

I daresay it will be reinstated to it's pre "flood Posting" levels if you agree not to further try to circumvent it.

We genuinely hope you get your $30,000, & if it helps you sell, & to show we have no ill-feeling, here is a link to your 2+2 thread in which you requested it.....

There are, literally, scores of threads on 2+2 from players seeking WCOOP Staking, so it may have been an idea if some of them Posted a little earlier, to avoid the rush, or you had usefully used blonde more recently, so that you could legitimately seek Staking here.

Does all that make reasonable sense?

 

Well yes, exactly......

Had you been a regular Poster earlier, it would not have been necessary.  Suddenly, you wanted Staking, so you flooded 40 odd threads on blonde in 3 hours.

Can you not see the problem? A little forethought would have saved all this.

i will indeed not attempt to circumvent, but if possible i would like to post more often without it looking like i have an ulterior motive. Being a part of this forum is something i have meant to do for a while for a number of reasons and i do have history of being involved heartily in the community (pkr and 2+2 i have multiple 1000's of posts mostly in pha)

again though, apologies for wasting your bank holiday morning :(

i agree, but as is often the case with my generation of people, especially those that play poker..... we leave things til the last minute and well... situations like this arise, on a positive i didnt leave until the day before this time, merely the week before.

No worries Karl, lets move on.

As you say, you meant to do it for a while. Then, suddenly, you wanted staking, so......

yes i definitely understand your position after your outlined it and i had a minute to reflect on it.

my bad, i think we can all just blame jason for everything and move on :) ;)

Sorry for Herbie being a Herbie again. Pretty sure if we had to have valid posts to qualify for the 300 staking requirement I think I may actually find myself coming up some what short of the 300.

Did not intentionally want to upset Karl or cause more work for the mods.


Edit.... Is it really $30k worth of staking. I was holding out for a £25k event in the uk before I asked for backing to be able to take full advantage of my popularity on blonde.

30k package though i wont necessarily be selling that amount

The package is here, $30,865, including the 1.2 mark up.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/163/staking-selling-shares-online/wcoop-package-1239284/

$30465, but i do appreciate you trying to nip an extra $40 for me, i would have given you half ;)

Surprised you not put one up for the £560 @ DTD tbh

Could have put one up anytime in the last 6 months tbh but just does not feel right. I never put up staking threads when on a run cashing every other tourney for 18 months so why do it now when we are under it and between rolls. Obv mentioning stuff on here I get lots of people saying I would buy etc. Thought those auctions were a great idea then I see a lot of friends saying they would not buy in an auction. Then there is always greed factor of wanting it all for myself but then again of you ain't in it you can't win it :)

Herbie attracts drama like flies are attracted to manure. Can cause an unintended ruck in an empty room

No staking thread Herbie, thanks

Never gonna happen. Could not take the indignity of someone actually posting my OPR and sharkscope stuff

I think that the most objectionable action, here, is that, despite posting on every thread imaginable, he has posted zero (yes, ZERO) times on the Chess Thread.

The most harrumphiest of disgruntlements, says this poster.

im decetn at chess, im just useless with the lingo i would not be a contributor to that thread..... id be the 5 year old child saying "mummy what does that mean"

+1

+2 there only one chest i know alot off but lets not go there :)

slow peddling to 300 posts here  ;D

you will get there eventually malcolm just need to pick a player to rail in an update and i promise to buy 10$ worth of your first staking thread
