Open Letter to CPF Moderators

[deleted]

Why not respond diplomatically?Â And, FWIW, I thought your reply was very diplomatic!Â ;)

Unfortunately, or fortunately (as I think Wes does a great job), most of the day-to-day moderation of this forum is done by Wes.Â It seems like every year or so I have to make a point of saying this, but it's no biggie: I don't have time to be an "active" mod on this site, or any other.Â I work more than any human being should work, but I love my jobs, and that's how I roll. I am sure I'm not alone in this sort of scenario.

However, if I'm surfing the forum and come across a spam post that Wes hasn't deleted yet, I will delete and ban.Â The reason I never come across any of these troublesome Home Games posts is because I am never interested in that section of the forum.

So, you may ask, why am I a moderator at all?Â I believe it is for three reasons:

1) I spend a decent amount of time at this site, although not as much as I used to.Â Because of this, I can sometimes catch spam posts that might be up for a couple of hours otherwise.

2) Scotty enjoyed getting my opinion on forum issues when he was a mod.Â I guess he liked my take on how to handle potentially volatile situations, so he made me a mod.Â Note: I didn't actually HANDLE the situations, I just threw my two cents in whenever he asked me to.

3) I'm a massive superstar, and who doesn't want to have a massive superstar as a moderator at their poker forum.Â j/k

If it is too confusing to have a "moderator" who is too busy to actually do much in the way of moderating, I will step down from this position.Â I am just trying to help out in the small ways that I can, when time permits.

And, I wish "I am a mod" actually meant that I ride a vinatage Vespa and wear flight jackets and Doc Martens and listen to The Jam a lot. Because, well, that's much cooler.

Actually, I think you mentioned this to me in a PM last fall, and I forgot - my bad. I always think of Scharf as a "celebrity mod", but think of you as "celebrity" and "mod" ;) . Anyway, I'll remember for another 6 months, then you'll probably have to remind me again ;) .

WOOT! I'm there - now I do want to be a mod :wav:

We did not realize that posting it again is a violation. We will delete it.

We do not agree that we should be banned for such a minor violation, especially as it was unintentional. We posted it again so that as many people as possible could see it.

Do we always talk in third person? :D

Also. stating that you are at a disadvantage to other clubs unless you break the rules would be all fine and well if you paid for advertising. however, as this forum is free to use (thank you) I do not believe that you have the right to complain that you're not getting as much free advertisement as rulebreakers. If you do not like how other clubs are acting, and then continue to break the rules with them, well you're putting them in your position.. THEY would be at a disadvantage if they didn't break the rules like you did. it's a viscious cycle, thank you for continuing it.

I see a $$ opportunity.Â Any club who wants to post pays a monthly fee to post in a newly created club forum.Â The moreÂ you pay, the higher the post goes and never needs to be bumped.Â Just a fancy sticky system.Â

No need to talk about rake/illegal stuff -- just club games.

Just imagine if the junk mailers started this arms war.Â Hmm, Bank A needs more attention for their great offer, so they create a 1 pound 2 ft mailer which sits at my doorstep.Â Bank B can't be outdone, their livelihood depends on it, so they create a 6 ft life size mailer in the form of their president.Â Bank C, ... well you get the picture.
