Please explain to me why so many people seem to hate Dids

[Dids]

Phil,

You seem to be confusing "I don't personally find Dids funny/like Dids" with "Dids is a bad mod".

I got a mod spot because 1- I was big on pushing for user mods back when there weren't any 2- I was bitching a lot about the quality of WPT. Mat basically called my bluff (which wasn't a bluff) and offered me a mod spot.

At first I tried to be very agressive in changing tone, and that pissed people off when I started locking threads just for being stupid. This set off some folks, and I eventually gave up and backed down. Then at some point, when an NVG mod dropped, I was added to NVG, and dropped WPT once Kevmath came on as a mod and showed mar more interest in poker on TV than I do now.

When I first started posting here, I didn't really care for the BDids, as I found a lot of his posts confrontational and in-jokey.

As time passed, I realized that the Dids is actually pretty smart and that he has a good sense of humor, particularly about himself.

A fairly recent example of this is when I declared Dids persona non-grata in OOT, and Dids himself was basically the only one to get the joke.

Phil, can you give and example of a thread/post/mod decision here to help me understand?

There was a lot of controversy a while back about some of Did's decisions - he deleted some of the threads where his moderation was criticized repeatedly in NVG, so many don't show up. The controversy was going on at the time this forum started accepting mod complaints.

He has a history of double standards, favoritism and locking stuff purely because he disagrees with the content or finds it (in his subjective opinion) uninteresting.

Here's a post by BluffTHIS about double standards.

And here's some older stuff:

It's all older stuff, he's quieted down a lot like he said. No real issues these days, and he does do a dirty job. But you asked why he isn't liked...

I find his THREE stickies in NVG inappropriate considering the broad audience. Why can't he just say "Gambling related gossip only please. TV Poker in its own forum"

DIDS IS SOMETHING IN ATF?

I am getting the impression that you have some sort of persoanl vendetta here. why the hell would you care if he puts his brand on stuff HE writes? who [censored] cares? i think you may indeed be a nit.

[PITTM]

if i didnt know dids irl or through talking on irc all the time i would think he was a complete [censored] because of the tone he uses and way he talks. but i know hes just being a dick in his own way, which is fine with me.

[A S U]

Meh, not a fan of his posting style or crap he usually talks about, but he's a good Mod.

[Dids]

Bob,

You're wasting time arguing with a troll.

RJ, I think I am smarter than a lot of people because well, I am smarter than a lot of people. Such is life.
