I agree. They both post(ed) in every thread under the sun, yet JO and his aliases are more consistently funny than Karpinski. Not to mention way less annoying.

CheckRaise, you may be a BBV poster, where they adopted AK like a handicapped pet for whatever reason.

To be fair, JO/Buffalo is like OOT's evil, racist, hate-filled pokemon that is unleashed when someone starts a retarded thread.

That was until yesterday. Now he is someone else. I'll let you try and find him...it certainly won't be the most difficult task you face today. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Jesus, how [censored] boring must your life be to continually act in a manner you know will get you banned from the forum then register a new name to do it all over again?
It's like the 5-year-old in pre-school who bites all the girls for attention. Leave the house already.

Here is the recipe posted by the webmaster of what was/is arguably the most popular Blackjack website extant. It would be profitable IMHO for other webmasters also to adopt some or all of these recommendations.

<font color="blue"> Power Posting </font>

1. Choose your subject heading carefully. Ten times as many people will read your subject line as will read your message.

2. Think the message through carefully before you post it. Having just one message in a given thread reflects much better on you than if you need multiple posts to explain one idea.

3. Accept that no matter what you say, someone can find a way to turn your own words against you. When that happens, do not counterattack.

4. Accept that other people have the right of free speech. Do not argue when someone simply disagrees with you. As long as your original post still exists, anyone can read it and accept it as if it were a response to your critic.

5. Do not post the same message multiple times, either on the same message board or on different boards.

6. Do not feel obligated to respond to any post. Of course, when someone asks if you meant "Howard Schwartz" when you said "Howard Grossman" and the answer is affirmative, a response is appropriate.

7. Let the other person have the last word in a disagreement. Making the final post in an argumentative thread is perceived as weakness, not strength.

8. Assume that any comment overly critical of you will not be believed, and will soon be offset by a response from someone else, who thinks you are being treated unfairly.

9. People judge you by your own posts. If visitors to [the website] think you have a particular attribute, it is because your own posts have demonstrated that attribute and not because somebody else has posted accusing you of having that attribute.

10. Use humor, but use it sparingly. A little humor sharpens an argument, but too much humor comes across as meanness.

11. A truth about posts: Meanness is magnified. Posts with a little bit of meanness will be read as having a lot of meanness. So before you post, edit the meanness out of your message. And when you read a message that you interpret as mean, discount the meanness.

12. It is easy for one person to post multiple messages, attaching a different name to each. Therefore, multiple anonymous attacks might all be posted by just one person. The more outrageous the attacks, the more likely that they were all posted by one person.

13. If you are asking a question or requesting information, use a question mark in the subject line.

14. Do not post in all capital letters. This goes for the subject heading as well. Posting in all caps is considered shouting and rude. Posting a subject heading in all caps infers that you think that your post is more important than anyone else's. There are only rare situations when shouting is appropriate. Of course, posting an acronym like ROTFL is done in all caps.

15. Unless you want to publicly disclose personal information about yourself, do not post an email address which may indicate your real name or other personal information.

I removed # 10 and edited #4. This is my personal view (the edits), not any sort of official guide. However, if people support it, we can put it up officially.

I'm not sure where we should put a list like this. The homepage, perhaps and/or a link on the side menu?

[/ QUOTE ] I can live with your changes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] but the original text was a sort of admonition, giving not just guidance but a little justification behind it.

[/ QUOTE ]The whole welcome page is currently something of a mess, IMHO. Perhaps when you re-arrange the home screen, you will find the appropriate place. Usually, a website's link to recommendations &amp; rules about posting should be placed discreetly somewhere where they can be easily seen and clicked on.
