Causes a bit of a problem because Blonde is quite a close community meaning the conversations get diluted with crap with people bolstering post counts.
agreed. Hoping in time some of that "noise" settles down as the novelty of a new thing wears off. |

Maybe.
Its certainly a bit odd to see an immediate bump in post count across the forum, mostly from new members when we haven't publicised it beyond this thread
If it doesn't settle down and we're overrun by post fluffing, staking whores and the like then I don't mind reversing engines and admitting a mistake...but we'll see. I'd like it to work obviously

Anyone should be able to offer stakes. The risk to those staked by a newbie is minute.
Anyone should be allowed to seek acceptance for a staked that is offered as it is up to the staker to accept or deline a potential stakee and set the terms with which they will do business.
Asking for stakes is the problem area. You can have minimum posts and/or minimum registration time on site before people can ask for stakes. You could also screen these requests via a mod/staff/volounteer. This would no way indicate any Blonde involvement as you are only giving permission to ask for a stake and in no way are Blonde vouching for people.
In all honesty i think after a few people don't get much action on requested stakes then it won't be such a big deal.
I have a decent post count on here but hardly anyone (if any) would say they knew me. Singhee (or however you spell it) would have more prospect of stakers than i would probably.

After much consideration we have decided to introduce two new child boards
- Online tournament Staking (child board of Internet Poker)
- Live tournament staking (child board of Live Poker)
There will of course be some basic ground-rules for members to observe.
- You may offer to stake players, or ask for staking, but only if you have a minimum of 300 forum posts.
- Posts should detail in full the proposal to be discussed, rates and amounts available to produce transparency in all instances.
- Begging posts will be removed
- Names of those staking an individual can remain confidential to PMs
- blonde Poker will not become involved in disputes as to the stake itself under any circumstances but will moderate public boards in line with its guidelines for flaming etc.
- This will be non-commercial for blonde Poker.
By my reckoning your post is 105 days too late.  |
