A way to make 2p2 better

Sponger. · #1 07-08-2006, 01:27 AM

Ok at first this was just going to say "ban everyone with less than 500 posts" which still is a great idea, but then again how are we going to get new members?

Alright so we create a 2p2 junior forum so idiots can weed themselves out and make crappy posts that nobody cares about and then when they hit 501 posts they can graduate to the real forum.

I don't even care what most of the people who aren't 2p2 superstars say anyways so lets just get rid of them all.

What a stupid idea. clearly everyone loves the mods in BBV and think they are doing just fine. psych psycho psych, maybe we need another 5000 people to want me to be a mod before someone will actually give a damn.

See I wouldn't even of responded to your post if you had like 499 posts and didn't have a long history of being [censored] sweet.

Seeing as the volume of those threads contribute to probably about 50% of OOT pageviews and are relatively harmless (and sometimes perhaps unintentionally educational) I assume you realize this is a bad idea. Hard to tell whether your concern is for the forums or respect for your grizzled veteran status and how much better you are than n00bs.

No, seriously, relationship threads are totally useless now that trainwrecking is more or less forbidden.

has anything good ever come from one of these threads?

with that said, Sponger for Mod!

tug,

really those threads suck. someone should just make a "relationship post FAQ" or whatever that just responds to the same exact [censored] post just rephrased by everyone who starts one of those threads.

also I think its obvious that I am better than n00bs and demand respect. Just watch at the people who are going to reply to this thread in the upcoming days and months. they will either 1) suck and be whiners 2) be awsome posters and agree with me

Sponger,

These are pretty much banned in tl:dr, so drop in. A lotta loungers are the exiled and the previously banned, so you'll fit right in.

Either that, or stop stealing ideas and presenting them as your own.

what we really need to do is have an age requirement and entrance exam to post. with maybe some exceptional poker credentials like ggbman if you don't meet the age requirement.

I think 19 years of age so you are in college and by that point you can pretty much tell if someone is cool or not. And if they are socially inept or not.

Then some form of standardized test. Poker related of course b/c seriously that is what this forum is about. If you can't contribute poker then your value is very slim anyhow. I guess we can throw in some general topical questions to make sure you are somewhat cool too.

someone make this happen as i think it could clear up a ton of the garb.
