Great Jesse May article

To be honest, I hate the "No links" rule, it's a pain in the arse for all concerned, but if we allow links some people abuse it something rotten.

[Royal Flush]

Is it not the point of having mods? So you can differentiate between the two?

True, it gets abused by The Royal Society Of Spammers.

I had no idea of this links rule. I wouldn't have put the link in if I had. I have only posted links to 2+2 in the past and hence haven't fallen foul of this rule.

However, I think perhaps there should be a list of "sites of general interst" such as cardplayer, pokernews, hendonmob etc where links are allowed.

I think you're probably right

Thanks Keith, & noted. It will be considered jn the current revisiting of the Forum Rules, & we will publish the revised/new Rules within 7 days.

PS- Can you PM me the link?

I dont think you need a list of sites of general interest, because thats still open to certain levels of spamming, but as flushy alluded to, the mods should be able to make a judgement call as to whether or not a link is spam or whether it is a geniune link to further the cause of conversation. Obviously this opens the mods up to accusations of "clique" or "favoratism" behavior, but it makes the most sense to me.

Hey Keith, your closing up on 1000 posts, are you gonna give us a 1000th post to remember? =)

Hopefully it will be the one celebrating me attaining supernova elite on Stars!

But, maybe, if the timing is right, it might be something to remember... been brooding over something in Camel Towers recently.

That is precisely the problem.

but should that be a problem? It seems like a case of the prison being run by the inmates if you let a couple of pedants stop you from making subjective decisions (which imo you would make correctly pretty much 100% of the time)

[TightEnd]

We do allow some links, and we will going forward using common sense and "general interest"

It was never "No links"

[RED-DOG]

It was always "No links" to poker site adverts.

Now shush before you get keith on my case.

[marcro]

Can somebody please PM the link to me?  Thanks.

If it was the article written in April this year about Padraig which I found by searching

CP's authors then it is an extremely well-written and informative article indeed.

Thanks for the tip.
