Rules for the blonde Forum

[Dingdell]

Rules should not be needed - people should have a general regard and respect for one another. I object to having rules set purely because it suggests I need them and that I may not have the qualities expected and need to be told how to behave.

Childish as it is rules actually make me want to break them. I don't like being told what to do.

Sorry but I think it stinks.

i guess i need to ask for a definition of   trolling please??

yes  i am serious.

As a quick generalisation: Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums , causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters or belittling other posters, making non-constructive posts etc...

Troll posts are not one off posts, they are usually established members that continue to try to disrupt a forum for their own pleasure/reasons.

Trolls are not usually one off posts and are usually established members. Not usually under the id that most would recognise though.

Thought I said they weren't one off posts and usually established members? .... 

The spoof accounts we pretty much can see a mile off with the odd exception, blonde sadly seems to have more of a problem with the established kind, rather than someone that wants to hide behind a fake ID.

Great news. Too long members have been allowed to troll, stir, name call and bump 1 year old threads to just be arses. More bannings!

I think you will find that you are not alone in that thinking Dingdell, they shouldn't be needed at all. Sadly we live in a world that is not ideal, and a small minority of people are trying to spoil it for the many. The rules won't affect 99% of the members on blonde in any way at all.

Well I was vehemently in your camp Trace, but circumstances have forced me, reluctantly, to re-think.

Pretty much the argument on the Mods board against rules Dell.

Recently though things have got out of hand. If you've not been part of it it doesn't apply to you and the rules won't affect you.

Edit : I see Ginger's said much the same.

I know what you're saying - I live ina very regulated world with rules all over and I see Blonde as my little bit of freedom where I can be silly and let vent if necesarry, with a bunch of guys some of who I call friends/mates. To regulate it seems to take that fun element away.

I can understand the need - but it doesn't mean I have to like it!

I've been on holiday so I don't know wtf's been going on but some people seem to be soooooo sensitive now. If you think about the blondes A) who have posted in the past on the PHA board but don't anymore B) could be posting on the PHA board but don't, it's unreal. You have some of the best poker brains in the country who for whatever reason don't post strat.

Why? IMO you have some people who post crap that would be laughed off the forums on 2+2. Now there's nothing wrong with this, everyone has to start somewhere and nobody knows everything etc etc. But it seems like some people post a load of nonsense and are extrememly sensitive and defensive if anyone trys to put across a different way to play no matter how gently they do it. Flushy is a huge asset to the PHA board, yet it's like nobody wants him to post there. It's like people don't want to improve their games so why should people like flushy bother to try to help them?

I got a PM a while ago from someone who is pretty much a Blonde poker hero. This was a bit of it

I know you are a frequent poster/reader of the PHA board and are willing to listen to other ppls thoughts on situations without becoming defensive over your original play like most of the ppl do on that board which is why i dont really post on there

We're missing out guys.

Precisely, the trouble with rules is that there is little room for manoeuvre.

What is the point of written rules anyway?
Someone gets banned for trolling now, with written rules they get exactly the same ban but someone sends them a link at the same time?
Can someone explain what difference/effect it will have?

I still go allin under the gun with AK
I agree about flushy but he needs to get someone else to interpret his thoughts onto the page

I'm sure the fun posts will continue as normal - that's what makes the forum a community as well as being a poker forum.  The banter, the jokes and the 'fun' is like being down the pub with your mates.  The rules are there to stop anyone getting out of hand after they've had a few too many.

So no more trouble-making from you...

Sometimes it's the problem of the way people interpret what's written.  Humour or sarcasm can be lost, and it's easy for someone to get hold of the wrong end of the stick.  I for one like to hear Flushy's opinion on hands - he plays the game very differently to me (he makes lots of money), and so it's always good to see the thought process behind a different style.  So I definitely want Flushy to post constructive comments and opinions on the PHA board.
