Where did post with the AI Koypetition go?

[abcyrillic]

There was thread with the AI competition with 100k prize pool, where did it go?

[SGT RJ]

The thread was deleted by Professionalpoker.

Please read the NVG rules. Threads/posts about where threads/posts went (or other moderator actions) do not belong in NVG, they belong in ATF.

ok, thanks SGT RJ.
But, why Professionalpoker didn't moved this thread to ATF if it doesn't belong at NVG? And that thread was about poker, no?

This thread, asking about it, belongs in ATF.

The deleted thread didn't belong on the forum. It was spam.

How did you identified it as spam? And why?

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.

There was information about upcoming AI championship with 100k prize pool, and Koypetition manager was replying to messages, so where was spam?

[SGT RJ]

People are not allowed to advertise for free on 2p2.

My guess is that the thread went beyond 2p2s rules for self-promotion/advertising and was deleted as a result.

AlienSpaceBat, no, but I wanted to get more information about that competition, and Koypetition in general.

It really doesn't get any spammier than starting a thread about your event, getting banned, and then pretending you're someone different when starting another account using your business name.

The basic rule of thumb for talking about your business on 2p2 is to only respond to other people's questions. If your business is interesting enough to the community to be thread worthy, someone other than you will post about it.

Starting a thread about it yourself isn't ok because there are thousands of people who want to start threads about their businesses on 2p2. 2p2 would completely suck if we allowed that to happen.

tbh, I never actually saw the thread.

But any forum regular who read your OP would still know it was spam.

And just to add to this, you need to have your account verified with administration if you want to do this. We don't want just any schmuck to be able to come here and say they are working for Poker Stars, or WSOP, or Poker Site XYZ, and then answer questions incorrectly or even attempt to defraud people.
