This is my view which may be different than others as there are no set rules in NVG for every case.

I don't like some of the OP and it may have some rig aspects but some of the discussion in the thread has been good and it is healthy sometimes to discuss the economics of the industry.

Also if the thread gets deleted your post count is going to drop considerably.

Okay, I can accept that reasoning. I would like to say though, that I think much of the good discussion that came from the thread is easily provided by other threads that don't have quite such a heavy negative aspect.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure most of the threads I post in would deal a lot of damage to my post count if they were deleted.

I don't see anything wrong with the thread title as it's a view and it's in NVG.
I don't think you'd have a problem with it if it was any company besides Amaya.

I don't really care about what you think, and neither should anyone else. You're either a decent troll, or you're actually stupid enough to think that I work for pokerstars. Either way, I'm not going to get into it with you, especially here, as I have zero respect for what you claim to think, and I see absolutely no point in properly responding to the derogatory and inflammatory nonsense that you post thinking that it's clever or relevant.

Next time, if you would like to discuss a moot point with me, do it by PM.

Over react much?

I don't think you work for Stars. I think you are a little overly biased in their favour... but OP is over biased against Stars imo. But much like yourself he's entitled to his "view" and therefore put his thread in the right place.

What's the deal with SGT snap locking threads?

First it was the RIP Nash thread which seemed absurd to lock, and now someone starts a thread about the payout structure controversy of the Colossus and she decides that can't have its own thread, either.

Unless threads are clearly breaking rules or being abusive etc what's the point in stifling discussion?

I don't get it, where do we go to talk about the Colossus controversy?

This happens every year around the WSOP, we try to keep all the chatter in one thread because otherwise NVG gets overrun with stuff from every tournament.

Discussing flat payout structures in touraments in general is fine but the first thread that was started was more appropriate to the 2015 WSOP chatter thread because it's WSOP chatter.

And I'm not getting into the Nash thing except to say that the only reason it took so long to resolve has to do with the way the different forums are run, and the vast majority of the mods in general who chimed in agreed it was more appropriate to OOT, so that's where it ended up.

We have a flat payout structure thread here.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...ments-1536399/[/QUOTE]

That is where the Colossus structure can be discussed.

Also about the Nash thread. It was moved to OOT as agreed by several Mods.

Is there any way to move the Dutch Boyd letter somewhere else? Stickies are generally annoying but acceptable when the stickied thread offers some sort of utility. Nobody will ever extract any value from the Dutch Boyd letter. Kind of embarrassing that it's still there tbh

This has been brought up in the mod forum and while it may be edited in some way, it will be staying for the time being per the site owners.

Why is there a thread discussing Politics in NVG? Shouldn't that thread be moved to the Politics sub forum? I am sorry but I don't browse NVG to deal with Politics.

No Response?

That's correct, there's been no response in 12 hours on the weekend. You can tell there's been no response because there's no post between your two posts.

Of course, you'd be more likely to get a response if you took the time to post a link.

Do you expect us to scan every thread in NVG to guess what you are talking about? You could help by being more specific.

It was on the first page of NVG here it is.http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...sions-1537668/

That was a very slow response time I am disappointed and feel like I was ignored.

No, a mod not having responded within 12 hours to a post you made (that didn't have all the needed information) at midnight on a Friday isn't slow at all. I am disappointed and feel like you are being unreasonable.

I saw SGT RJ on earlier today but I believe she chose to ignore my post on purpose because she doesn't like me and doesn't feel like I am important. I do not believe I am being unreasonable at all the response time was extremely slow and I truly believe I was purposely ignored by SGT RJ and that doesn't make me feel good.

Kev, I don't want to be unkind, but if you're actually watching which moderators are or aren't on here to see if they respond to you, you need to get outside or something.

Yes, complaining about people not responding to you in 12 hours on the weekend, saying it's extremely slow, is actually very, very unreasonable, whether you believe it or not.

You know that the moderators are volunteers, right? That sleep and eat and work and have lives outside the forums?

Sorry to hear that, but you're probably reading way too much into that. Maybe she just read a few threads, maybe she had a PM to answer and then left her browser open (thus appearing to be "on" the forums), maybe she read other things and not this thread, or maybe she did see your post and decided not to respond for any of a variety of reasons. Who cares?

People doing what you've just done are the reason some mods (myself included) have themselves on "invisible" mode.

Ok I understand what you were referring to now that you have provided a link. Remember there are often some political thoughts that end up in threads of NVG given the nature of this forum. Unless they are not completely unrelated to the thread and not derailing it they are often left alone or possibly not even noticed.

I agree that the thread that concerns you has some political elements but it is also related to poker. There is a fine line here and it could definitely be considered to be somewhat political in nature. However, for this case specifically and for most cases in general, it seems preferable to let the freedom of thought flow in NVG especially if the discussion is somewhat poker related. Therefore the thread will stay here for now.

Thanks for your input.

I show up online all the time because I never log out. Sometimes I leave my computer on for days at a time, even though I'm not even in my damn apartment, and I pretty much always have 2p2 on some tab.

This is literally the first time I've popped into NVG today. I've never deliberately ignored something when I'm around. Not even from you, Kevmode.

Grow the **** up.
