Re: uNL 1 year report card
a. Traffic- Do you feel as if you hand gets lost too fast, or does it receive appropiate responses.
I try to write interesting titles and get people to read my hand. The only time I've notice that my hands get buried quickly is when they are boring. B+ b. Quality of the advice This will always be tough since a lot of the posters are new and people give seemingly good advice while using some buzzwords and other tactics to which credit is easily given (sometimes mistakenly). There are still some posters with a good number of posts that I feel like I can rely on to give good advice. B c. Quality of the moderation- What policies would you like to see changed or implemented? I think the moderation is great and the new "no one-liner" rule is excellent. I do notice some full ring hands finding their way here and falling through the cracks. A+ d. Other suggestions More polls. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: uNL 1 year report card
If we aren't good at giving advice, how are we qualified to evaluate whether advice is good? We'll just evaluate advice that confirms our biases as good, and advice that doesn't as bad. The only evaluation that means anything is in results, namely, that people who come here for results win more, and move up.

Some are better than others but I've always been a fan of taking all the advice in and filtering it for yourself. There's really no way to denote who is good or bad without imploding the forum imo, and I dont think that labelling people as "bad" is really going to help what is supposed to be a friendly place for beginners to get their toes wet. |

Re: uNL 1 year report card
As a newbie posting in threads here, if I make an argument about why I think a hand should or not be played a certain way, it's usually not just because I think I'm giving advice but because I'm interested in getting input or being corrected by better or more experienced players. I worry about giving bad advice but I don't see any other way to get started except by jumping in.
Even given that bad advice abounds, just the process of reviewing hands in detail and thinking through analyses should be helpful to most new players, I know it has been for me. I think the only caveat should be that taking too much general advice for granted without bothering to understand the analysis behind it will eventually lead to a dead end. It would also be nice to see more hands given with some kind of read on the villain, although obviously that's not always possible. |

Re: uNL 1 year report card
The traffic can be a little overwhleming, like I could just spend all my time radings posts here 24/7 probably but well there is not much that can be done. It's always going to be popular so you just have to live with it.
A lot of the advice can be good but as you read it you soon recognise who are the best forums so in a sense when I post a hand or a reply once the people I respect post it, I then feel vindicated that I know the best line etc I feel the moderation is fine |

Re: uNL 1 year report card
Its the first step on the ladder so advice will always be a mix.
We've got some good regulars and beginners who are working on their games and asking questions to promote discussion and learn. overall i think its good, general atmosphere is pretty good. Flaming happens, its easy to misread or interpret someones post/joke/level. Mods do a good job. |
