Why fixing infinite or finite scroll anyway? Couldn't that be something the user can chose individually? That's certainly doable.

And some things are better left to crumble to dust. I don't think that thread reflects well upon any of us.
New people join all the time and they may be younger. But, I don't think that matters here. I think this is more a situation of the times changing than people getting older. Something that was seen as fun and harmless by some looks different now.

Not to sidetrack, but the general situation (and not really that one thread) was actually something that kept coming up for me back then. In that era, I was working to organize people to advocate legislatively for our game. Poker Legislation had probably the highest percentage of women posters on 2+2 (that was prior to That's What She Said), and keeping a welcoming environment -- for the thread and advocacy in general -- was important. We moderated PL differently as a result, but it wasn't heavy-handed. The dynamics were simply different because of the people who posted there.

Fast forwarding to now...H&F and PL have never have such content, so it's not something I get to decide (as there's nothing for me to change in those two forums). But, I think it's a potential discussion.

The early 2005 "I read about 2+2 in Sports Illustrated and made my way over here" group is where it's at.

I had a 2002 account, but it was mostly to taunt fish and get them to play against me.

When the great 2+2 vs RGP poker wars erupted, I was firmly on the other side. But times were different then…

Allow polls with more than 10 options, and let the poll be created at the same time as the thread, instead of having to post first and then get directed to a page where you make the poll.

Question regarding the "spam" policy on 2+2. I apologize if it's been answered elsewhere, as I cannot find it.

For a very long time, the policy of 2+2 was to disallow links to other sites if they're your own. Therefore, if saw a discussion come up on 2+2 which was already brought up earlier on my forum, I was unable to link to said discussion, even if it provided relevant information. However, at the same time, others could link to my forum and it would be fine, and I could link to other forums, just not my own.

Seems like a bizarre policy, to be honest. Unless someone is blatantly here to spam (which is pretty obvious), it should be considered okay for people to post (relevant) links to their own site.

Daniel Negreanu was also infamously banned here for "spamming" links to his vlog.

However, I don't make the rules here, and I'm simply asking the new ownership's take on this matter.

Can you guys explain your guidelines in general, regarding what you consider "spam" from otherwise regular posters?

I just own my embarrassingly stupid strat posts. Class of '05 in the house!

And yeah, I get the differences between individual forums. Micro poker and Puzzles and Other Games never had what I see as this kind of "toxicity" either. And I don't usually make a big deal over ancient threads like this one.

But as someone who has had my likeness posted (in my underwear) to a forum full of men without my consent and found the post...that thread...I really, really don't like it.

That's very terrible and I'm sorry to hear that happened to you.

Regarding the thread in question, have you reported it? That will at least bring it to the attention of the forum mods.

I haven't officially reported it. I keep hoping that the OOT Mods will lock/delete it. But someone just bumped it to ask for a link to the pic of ME that was posted without my consent, so I'm guessing that's not happening.
