Is there any way to get this part of the forum cleaned up? One issue is that some of the threads being created aren't high stakes. One the first page today there are about 4-5 threads that don't belong there (live buyins from $150-$350). These aren't high stakes threads and don't belong there, IMO.

Another problem that I see is people posting and offering advice that have no business posting there. Recently one poster was offering advice all over the forum from the HS to MS threads both cash and mtt except he didn't even know what an equity calculator was. Granted there may be a few HS players that are good and don't know what an equity calculator is but I don't think this was the case.

A mod told me to post this here so thought I would.

WUG?

Thinly veiled brag. I'm proud of being not a nano, but a pico player.

As long as I don't have to play with whiny asses at play money, I'm content.

Not knowing what an equity calculator is? If he's not Phil Ivey he deserves an insta ban.

Did you report the threads/posts that you feel don't belong there? That's the best way to help us out and bring it to the forum mods' attention.

Agree that you need to report posts.

Also maybe PM the mods in that forum and tell them your concerns. It's not uncommon for a mod or mods to get busy and not have as much time to clean things up in their forums. If that's the case and users let them know they've noticed a decline in the quality, they can either try to make more time or add another mod, as needed.

the past couple of posts gave advice to report posts - unfortunately that won't solve this problem. OP, how about if we force people to show a screenshot of their cashier page to a mod to get approved before they are allowed to post in HSMTT? Would that be sufficient in your mind to only allow people there who belong there and keep the poor people out?

Here's an idea: when you're responding to a post, have a point. It makes it so much more enjoyable for the reader.

I have no clue what you are trying to say or what point you are trying to make. Please speak in logically thought out proper sentences in the English language.

Didn't know if that was the proper way to go about it but now I do.

I Pm'ed a mod and they told me to bring it up here so I did. I will do that in the future.

How about instead of acting like a dick you either bring something to the table or shut the **** up?

It has nothing to do with what your net worth is or what is in your cashier. If you were to read and comprehend you would see that I specifically was talking about live threads so how would a screen shot help in that situation? If you don't understand or play high stakes don't post advice in the threads. Seems pretty simple right?

Here is a question for you? What the **** are you doing here? This is a poker forum. Don't they have fantasy puzzle forums?

Fish when you report a post it pings/reports it to every mod in the forum. So lets say you you pm a mod about it, he/she may not see it for a few days etc. But reporting it allows all the mods of that forum to see it.

Unlike others who have commented on your post, I DO get it! And I think that it's a good post. Makes your point beautifully.

Strat forums are mostly garbage. Trolling and ignorance run rampant. Go post somewhere fun.

Yeah, you should check out the Game of Thrones book thread. No one ever trolls in there. They're very warm and embracing.

Sounds like fun but I'll pass.


Am I wrong for thinking some of the **** posted there shouldn't be there?

Like this thread doesn't seem like it should be there.

wug?
