OFC not, people can't post whatever they want, as I stated we spoke to Belayd about this and I have suggested that the thread is locked, I'm not sure what else you would like us to do?
If you don't think moderators do a good enough job/are needed then please send a message to IngridN I'm sure she would be happy to help. Personally do it free of charge and I like to do it to make sure the community moves in the right direction. We try to welcome new members to the community, answer questions people have, make sure all spam is deleted, make sure that your questions get answered by our site representatives, give updates on key industry news such as "Black Friday" anything else you think we could/should do please do say and I'm sure we will be extremely happy to hear your ideas.
Thanks

I don't mind action being taken at people who take it too far. But Kruppe's comment wasn't too bad. Belayd who acts so holy now. Said things like "I hope you die from sleep deprivation" about a month ago. No actions was taken. So i find it kinda strange to take action against this.
Don't mind action being taken again.. Just do it fairly.. because i've seen much worse then this.
I deny ever having said someone should die from sleep deprivation. If you have evidence that I said that, kindly post the link. Otherwise don't make baseless accusations.
I don't "act holy," either. You just dislike me for pointing out in another thread that you shouldn't use the word "gay" as an insult.
Don't feel i'd ever need to apologise to you. But i did mistake you for someone else so my bad.
Also i decided to just ignore your ignorant post and your other condescending post towards me insulting my intelligence. To clarify. I was trolling, it was a joke. "fake and gay" was popularised by RWJ and then all the kids at youtube started using it. It was exactly my intention to make it look like you received it. But you failed to see that.
So there you have it. And pleno1 that's fine by me. Just think nothing should have been said about that comment when i've seen so many worse.
This is why i hardly even bother posting serious on this site anymore. I just get into a stupid argument every time having to defend myself. Even though it was deserved this time. Which is exactly why i decided to ignore your posts and just let it slide. Because i'm so tired of pointless discussions where i'm getting absolutely nothing out of.
As for regarding the mod thing. I think you guys do a fine job. I don't however agree with your stance that it's fine to simply flame and insult people without any kind of action taken towards people like that. Even though it's clearly in the rules that it's not allowed to do that. And don't say you guys do because even when it was clearly pointed out to moderators(or admins) you guys decided to just wave it away. I admire the patience you guys have with responding to players. I personally was not much far different from belayd when i joined this forum. But after seeing literally the same questions and threads a 100 times it gets old really quick. Especially with how ungrateful 9/10 people are. So i think it's amazing mods like you still bother responding with typed out posts and not copy/pasted templates.
I'm sure a lot more people who've visited the forum for a long time feel the same way. Which is why you see so many people who've been on this forum a while trolling. I'd really like to see more strategy discussions/posts on a high level on this site personally. But that's probably not going to happen. And we'll see the same old. "Is this site legit"? "Post your best bluff" "Worst bad beat ever" "What poker room should i play on?" "What is a good [insert PT3/HM stat] for [insert stakes]" threads. Could probably list a dozen more classic threads but i think my time is better spent sleeping after this way too long post.
edit: If my feedback would seriously be considered i wouldn't mind to say what i think could improve on this site/forum. To think of it moderators/admins have always been very open to feedback on pokerstrategy. But to see how some of you have handled situations which were clearly way out of hand has lowered my respect towards some you tremendously (not you in particular. Your actually one of my favorite mods).
