What would you change on 2+2? - Page 5 - About the Forums

Especially if you're planning to unban wide swaths and cut back on moderation substantially, make it easier to block someone's posts from your view. It should be as simple as clicking on their user name, and having an option "Block this user" instead of having to navigate into my own account settings and search out the block section.

Also like someone else mentioned, extend the block to include their posts quoted by other users.

1. the userbase and history
2. the very outdated platform
3. easier to navigate topics, maybe subforums and better search (tags would be nice like for instance "3bet pot, OOP" for a hand history so you'll find all discussions on 3bet pots OOP easily)

4. blogs of popular streamers
5. see 4 and hosting/sponsoring players and events, a better logo

Having two forums for online sites is idiotic. Old system was way better and there are not enough posts to have two seperate sections. Old internet poker forum any day.

My character was assasinated too, Totally normal things were mischaracterized in psychopathic ways, people said I did things I never did etc. Normal people aren’t going to put up with that kind of thing for long which is why normal people without a direct stake all left.

I also don’t think twoplustwos future is 30 something millennials like me, I think if two plus two is to have a future it is with people who are 10 years younger than me. Don’t nit pick everything they say or imply they’re being “ aggressively stupid” when they say something you don’t agree with, allow two sided communication instead of being able to dish insults but not taking them.

It was really really weird to have a group of like 20 long time posters gang up on someone to insult them when they’ are just a random person , like I remember being in college , explaining something and then 15 different people made weird inside jokes about me and then there was a 50 post thread about whether I was stupid or trolling but the reality is I didn’t have any incentive to be right, I wasn’t trolling, I just didn’t think about it very hard because I was not a mod or stake holder in two plus two I didn’t care in the slightest what some random person thought of me on a forum and I just thought you were all really weird.

How do you know they were attractive?

I have some thoughts on pretty extensive reorganization, but I am not sure I want to put pen to paper because I am not sure how much longer this forum is going to be around.

Hello,
I am just curious as to whether the casual misogyism that is prevalent on 2p2 is the preferred way forward?

There may be a general atmosphere of misogyny that can't be reduced to individual posts. But the whole discussion about Max and Andrii's wives is pretty misogynist. Here is a post that's bothered me for a while https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...&postcount=153

Sammy,

what about the pornographic elements in Lars von Trier's work? For example, "Antichrist" features probably the most heart-breaking scene incorporating a penetration close-up in Movie history. And LvT himself described "Nymphomaniac" as "part porno, part philosophy". Thoughts?

On the topic of degrading to women, LvT is not the best counterargument

Quote:

In October 2017, Björk posted on her Facebook page that she had been sexually harassed by a "Danish film director she worked with". The Los Angeles Times found evidence identifying him as Lars von Trier. Von Trier has rejected Björk's allegation that he sexually harassed her during the making of the film Dancer in the Dark, and said "That was not the case. But that we were definitely not friends, that's a fact," to Danish daily Jyllands-Posten in its online edition. Peter Aalbaek Jensen, the producer of Dancer in the Dark, told Jyllands-Posten that "As far as I remember we [Lars von Trier and I] were the victims. That woman was stronger than both Lars von Trier and me and our company put together. She dictated everything and was about to close a movie of 100M kroner [$16M]." After von Trier's statement, Björk explained the details about this incident, while her manager, Derek Birkett, also condemned von Trier's alleged past actions.

The Guardian later found that Jensen's studio, Zentropa, with which von Trier has frequently collaborated, had an endemic culture of sexual harassment. Jensen stepped down from CEO position of Zentropa as further harassment allegations came to light in 2017.

So what's the word on the profanity filter? I say swear words should be fine but things like the n-word and f-word and ************ should stay censored.
