Needing 300 posts before you can ask for a staking thread is a Good Rule that I think helps stop people from getting grimmed.

Needing 300 posts before you can buy a piece is a stupid rule that doesn't do anyone any favours- how can you get grimmed? Just ask for all money up front from anyone you don't know well, anyone who doesn't pay before the event isn't booked.

Since the second rule is totally ignored anyway (I've just looked through the top threads on the staking forum and 80% of them have sold via Facebook/ via PM/ in person/ on other forums etc.) it doesn't matter anyway. So Ceri, if you want to buy a bit, just PM the thread starter.

(If the answer is that from a technical point of view on the forum software can't block people with fewer than 300 posts from starting a thread but still allow them to post, then fair enough, but just say that).

It's not just about the grimming though there's the community aspect to consider.

Some of the staking threads have been brilliant thanks to everyone being involved knowing each other through the forum.

If some random had come along and bought all of the James Keys Aussie millions action when he managed to lose a 12 to 1 heads up lead do you think there would be a 35 page thread in the live staking board about it?

It would have been a purely business transaction that nobody would have really cared about.

Same goes for Mondatoo when he had a good run at the Monte Carlo. People had backed him and got to follow the live update to sweat their investment. None of that would have happened if someone that none of us know had backed him.

Keeping it to active forum members means that we all get to share the fun.

Leave it as it is in my opinion.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

This is a good point, and one I hadn't considered.

If you wanted to buy some pieces cud you not PM the person? Youd be expected to pay promtly or offer a reference if you werent personally known but that shouldnt be a problem

From the rules,
- not only can you not ask for staking if you have less than 300 posts but also you can't offer staking with less than 300, whether on other threads or by PM

This is designed to minimise risk to the potential stakee of not receiving funds. We recognise that in some cases people with under 300 posts will be known to the stakee but this clause has to be set for all rather than spend our time considering on a case by case basis


Doesn't apply in real life though.

Some good points in this thread i often did wonder about the 300 post rule but agree it is a good way of doing it and seems fair.

I remember i put one up accidentally and TK snap deleted it Sad as i wasnt aware of the rules

Just keep posting really, although i do think buying a stake the rule should not apply but that would probably get a bit technical

Simple way round the 300 post rule: start a diary and keep mentioning you are selling pieces in xyz tourney Smiley

The Staking Rules, including the 300 Post Rule, are stickied at the top of both Staking Boards.
