That would be neat if this was the last place for freedom of speech before China achieves world domination.

Probably not going to happen though. Aren't there all sorts of legal issues with allowing people to speak their minds? Wouldn't internet hosting companies and such just pull the app and make the site inaccessible if the freedom of ideas was allowed to flourish here?

As we saw more and more spam, trolling, pointless arguments on RGP (you are an ahole, no you are) there was a vote over moderation, which lost. And it's dead,

Nothing wrong with mods, just the ones that dictate the conversation in a direction approved by them. 2+2 has plenty of great mods and quite a few terrible ones.

mason is petty AF when it comes to arguing, but the guy i'm quoting is more likely to be a scammer than not

Dear new site owners, you keep all these soy boy beta male bitches at bay I promise I'll make this site the best poker site, most trafficed poker site, and the place where all of those who love free speech come to party and power post.

All hail the new king in town!

Oh yeah, and Larry Elder is the MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN IN THE WORLD!

Not one word of thanks or appreciation in the OP for all that the mods have done for this site. Just criticism.

Get rid of the mod forums. There should be full transparency. As new owners you all should be answering people in this thread rather than bowing to the mod underlords in their private forum.

Given that they seem to have little to no interest interacting with members, I’m concerned they really don’t care about we have to say. Are there any decent credible alternatives to 2+2? Emphasis on decent.

pretty sure Mason said in other thread that they didnt sell publishing co.

also really dont get the mod bashing, how can you believe that NVG would not denigrate to a dumpster fire without heavy modding. over modding >> under modding imo.

AOL takes over Time-Warner.

Since Mason didn't sell them the publishing business, it makes sense that they will no longer be selling books or publishing articles.

This means that the posters are THE assets.

I wish there was a way that a thread creator could mod their own thread. Nobody cares more about the thread than its creator. And if people didn't like how the thread was being moderated and edited they could stay the hell out of the thread.

If there ever was a way to do the above, you wouldn't need any other moderators and the threads would be more enjoyable to everyone but the derailers and the trolls.

Of course, one drawback would be that the OP removes all dissenting opinions, making it appear as if there is universal agreement to his/her opinion.

i think at a minimum there needs to be moderation for spam, threats, foul language (probably some others i forgot)..

and minimum required text....... i get tired of emoticon responses.
