fgators thread, input plz
 

link

Infamous fgators wants to post his graph of 4 million hands, which would basically be legendary.

In previous threads, people have offered him money for it.

In this thread he is trying to collect $400 to send the database because people are willing to pay for it.

I interjected that this sets a bad precedence of people selling their databases in bbv and making a lot of money off of that type of thing and it's not something I wanted to see in bbv. I told ppl to stop offering money and that if fgators wanted to donate the $400 to charity I would be willing to collect but otherwise no dice.

People want to make an exception in the thread based on the projected awesomeness of this graph (tbh, I am pretty excited to see this graph too).

I thought I'd post it to hear some mod/admin thoughts on this.

I think it's pretty standard to sell PT databases in Strat forum low content threads.

Gild:

I agree that by the letter of the law you shouldn't allow this in BBV.

But,

Other people did offer him the $$$ first before he even brought it up. His newest thread where he talks about the money is just a summary of the previous threads. So he's not so much begging as it may seem.

I think it should be allowed.

I might be open to allowing it in SSNL if you feel that doesn't step on your toes and you are OK with that and if it helps in any way.

Re: fgators thread, input plz
 

I didnt think about what I did there. I shouldnt have actively encouraged them moving the thread to my forum.

On a general note: I disagree with GW regarding this issue but I understand that my behaviour wasnt appropriate. Unless having discussed it beforehand mods shouldnt do stuff like this.
