A few years back, a WPT player by the name of Paul Phillips said "my first post deleted here will be my last". Lo and behold, one of the mods unnecessarily deleted his post and he was gone forever. When the dust settled, 2+2 realized that they had made a mistake in deleting this post and asked Paul to come back (after apologizing). He never did.
I've been a member here since 2003 and have over 5000 posts: almost all of them are in strategy or related forums. I don't post in OOT or any of the other non-poker related forums. I feel like I have contributed a lot to this community: both FRNL and 2+2 in general. So I would expect the respect of careful consideration before ANY of my posts are deleted. Recently there have been some threads on shortstacking. They have contained both strategy and the effects of shortstacking on the games as a whole. I'm in the camp that believes shortstacking is not good for online poker, along with many others. Daniel Negreanu recently created tables requiring both a 50bb buy-in and a 40bb buy-in. He has a thread in NVG discussing this and asking if there are any changes we, as PokerStars players, would like to see. I responded that I would like to see these same tables at the lower limits. I linked to that thread in one of the "shortstack" discussion threads in this forum. And it was deleted. Granted, my URL said (as a joke) "Die shortstackers!" or something along those lines. But the thread I linked to was extremely relevant to the issue being discussed. I think the mod that deleted my post was out of line, and quite frankly, that really makes me not want to participate here. I look around and I don't see the kind of quality 2+2 posters that this place used to have. I think mis-modship has a lot to do with that. These are the reasons that Paul Phillips, Ed Miller, and now myself (amongst others) have moved on. So good luck everybody. I hope this place gets staightened out at some point. I will be pming one of the mods to send them the money for the FRC for those that are still involved in that. |
