. . . still . . . .

can't we just delete the posts that say things like "STD" after
someone gets his aces cracked by 27o?! if that isn't a troll
response, i don't know what is.

Re: can i complain here about the \"poker\" threads???
 

But back to OP's original statement,

"myriads of other worthless posts, i would be ashamed
to be called the "moderator" of those forums... "

keep in mind that moderators have come under fire before for over-moderating forums so sometimes we just let these simple posts like "LOL" "QFT" just go as they don't seem to harm anything. I see a lot of that stuff in OOT and ATF and my feeling is that some people just really enjoy chit chatting and most mods are pretty tolerant. I don't actually understand why people feel compelled to do it...like I said even I want to type that QFT thing sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Do you guys think that moderators on these forums should be a little more heavy handed? Is that a good thing?

Re: can i complain here about the \"poker\" threads???
 

I think it's too much to ask mods to waste their time deleting inane responses.
Inane topics, yes.
But inane responses are par for the course.

You are reading BBV and expecting responses to be non-trollish in nature? There's the problem. That's the culture there. Posts there aren't for serious discussions about poker. It's smack talk and silly fun.

If it matters what cracked your aces, shouldn't that type of thread be moved to BBV? In strat forums, no one cares if you got your aces cracked.

If you are having a conversation with a group of people it is easy to see who is agreeing with you and who isn't. In a linear internet conversation you can't, so when people chime in with short pointless responses it is not only reinforcing the opinion of who they are responding to, it allows them to make their presence known to the group.

I also like to use stuff like this:
