Tipping Threads: Whats your opinion?

[*TT*]

Attn B&M regulars:

As you probably all know the B&M forum has very few rules. We ask that you act politely towards one another, that you avoid discussion about cardrooms of dubious legal nature, don't discuss underage gambling, don't post bad beat stories, and you don't post things that are common discussions in this forum that are asked about again and again.

This brings us to the topic of this community thread, how do you feel the acting moderators of this forum should respond to one of these repetitive topics: tipping threads.

This is a quote from the B&M FAQ discussing what cannot be posted:
[ QUOTE ]

4. Anything that's posted about ad nauseum. For example, tipping, 18+ casinos, how much money to bring to a casino. If you have a basic question, it's probably been asked and answered multiple times in the past. PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.

Now some may disagree with us, but RR & I believe that the majority of the discussions that take place in B&M are rehashed topics, and there is nothing wrong with this. B&M is not a closed community, there are many people that come and go who do not follow this forum daily and therefore may not know that a previous discussion on the same topic already exists. Also as everyone who has ever spent time in a B&M card room knows tipping is a part of poker culture and community; but that doesn't mean that the reasons for tiping or the amounts to tip are known by all.

RR and I would like to permit more open discussion on tipping going forward, provided the B&M forum community agrees with this revision in policy. We will of course continue to lock threads if there is already another active topic about tipping, suspending users who start flame wars or are abusive to their fellow 2+2'ers in tipping related threads, and take appropriate action with users who have a history of "no content" posts.

So what do you think B&M... should we allow tipping threads for now on? RR and I would like to know what you think before we make a final decision.
