    Default Rude Members

    Well lets see where to begin...

    The members here are soooo welcoming I think something could be done about the rude and inconsiderate responses that you get when trying to become a contributing member. I would say it would be a lot easier without the DRAMA.

    Since everyone is wanting pics for proof of shared stories and apparently of me so I can prove myself. *rolls eyes* Change the 10 post thingy before being able to post pics and create a cool siggys

    Get rid of your 'up yours' avatar and we'll think about it.

    Yeah. Your avatar tilts me. And pic or ban.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    I think that the "rude and inconsiderate " responses are both a benefit and a hindrance to the forum. A hindrance in that noobs can find the tone a bit aggressive and put them off. Is that a good thing ?. Quite possibly.
    The benefits are that it helps sort the wheat from the chaff. People willing to expose themselves to some harsh criticism are willing to truly put the hard work in and learn the game and work on there own game. Its also character building and helps to build up a degree of immunity to events occuring at the tables.
    You're complaining about the rude responses detering you from being a contributing member yet you've been a member for a year and clocked up 6 posts (most of which have been in the thread you are complaining about) which is slightly illogical.

    following on from this point, the most annoying thing about the 10 post rule for me was about the hand historys which would be a more logical thing to change than "cool siggys" and posting pics which could be abused. After alls said and done 10 posts on strategy for someone aiming to improve their poker is extremely easy to chieve.

    oops thought this was a commune forum.

    Changed my own post.

    Clonie, be a contributing member, spend time in the BC, or tourney forum, post some hands, and stop tilling crap in the community forum and that will take you a lot further.

    I think you should make your avatar your tits and stop whining about stupid shit.

    If you take everything serious on this forum, then you're going to be seriously fucked.
    I will destroy you with sunshine and kittens.

    wait, Feedback is your home?

    How are you going to make my poker playing better from here? We need contributing members in the forums that are meant for playing poker! Like Tournaments.

    Tits are fine, even encouraged. You just can't show the holiest of holies.

    The idea that being asses to new people in any way helps this forum is ridiculous. If you guys need some excuse for pumping up your own egos by putting others down, then I guess find whatever you need.

    Frankly if the attitudes when I joined had been similar to now I probably wouldn't have wanted to stick around and give back.

    You're always thinking upside down. It's like you're on the other side of the world.
