Dont lets vote bent or not
some of you may be aware of the thread 'lets vote bent or not' While i actively enjoy and participate in debates i feel this thread has become very derisive with, people being threatened, called disgusting names etc. Some threads have already been removed by the moderators because of their innappropriate content. Im in the not rigged camp and im asking any other players who are also in this camp or against the disgusting threads being written to please not post any more threads on that post . post yes here if you agree
Comments
The forum is a place for active discussions and intelligent debate. That particular thread has very little going for it in either of those catagories at the moment.
I look forward to seeing more of your comments within the forum area. The forums aren't just about area 51. Go look at some of the other areas, Join in, and you will find the most friendly group of people you could ever wish to meet. P.S. Goals, Goals, Goals in the shed is a little cracker. You can win a free entry to a tournament for 5 seconds work!
There is also an awful lot of fantastic advice regarding everyones game and more people need to take notice of some of this advice. There are a lot of very experienced players who post everyday, they are giving their knowledge for free and very often put their own game and strategies on the forum. They do this at the risk of having their play exposed and ultimately put themselves at a disadvantage.
Advice like this is worth it's weight in gold.
If more of this knowledge were followed, I have no doubts area 51 would soon become obsolete.
One final thing to all those that have sent me private messages of support, you all know who you are so I have no intentions of naming names within this post. Just to say I have lost 2 hours playing time this morning personally replying to all of you.
Your support and words of encouragement are highly appreciated and I have very much taken on board your advice on how to deal with this sort of problem in future.
Good luck guys and see you at the tables.
Whilst I have no wish to cast dispersions on those that do use it, I feel it has it's place in text/limited space messages. (although my texts, when I use them are still constructed correctly. I still cant see the point of a text conversation, why not just phone your friend, keep that personal touch and ultimately save yourself some cash?) Certainly not an unlimited space forum.
I don't mind the odd LOL, IMO etc. but my understanding of text speak only stretches this far.
Again, it is nice to be appreciated.
Totally agree Hale, "txt speak" is the bain of the English language.
While it is useful on mobiles, it has quickly become the modus operandi of most children and as can be seen on this forum, adults where ever the written word is used.
It has dramatically accelerated the declining standards of English in this country which is a great shame for our nation.
This being a democratic forum, and one that's evidently populated by a more cultured and erudite audience, oughtn't we ideally take a vote on whether or not one should vote?
I don't really wish to feel obligated to go one way or the other, purely on the whim of the proletariat. I feel it encroaches negatively upon my civil liberties and freedom of choice (under the Magna Carta, you understand).
On the other hand, we could simply allow apathy to reign, and we could collectively ignore the entire sorry debacle, and the small-minded Amoebas, that are so genitally deficient, that they feel the need to use childish threats and personal insults, in what is ultimately is a simple, recreational game of cards?
I'll leave it to you. I'm not messed one way or the other and will go with the general consensus.
LOL, ROFLMAO, m8, winky emoticon
etc., etc., etc...
Definitely. If I can qualify, I'll be there.
Will come and say hello if you're going.
Yes, nice posts Hale. Keep 'em coming.
You can't have a forum and expect perfect grammar or spelling, and to expect it is both unrealistic and unfair. Bad language, insults etc. are unwelcome and against the very ethos of a community forum and should be deleted immediately.
(I think I can spell hieroglyphics btw)

Thanks for clearing that up for us Flut, it all makes so much sense now! 8- />
Those smilie face things as well, no idea's at all, they just look like comma's to me! I was told to turn my screen on the side to see the face but then they just look like sideways comma's!
Bring back the fountain pen!
I only spotted the other Thread late this afternoon, & I've now Posted on there.
I don't really want to comment further, except to say, ugh.
ps. I bet you know what TTFN means though, don't you? And that's definitely older than computers, or hieroglyphics for that matter.
If you don't, ask Tikay he'll definitely know.
What's the Recipe today, Jimmy?
There you go! Guaranteed to bite
Damson Jam, in answer to your question, It's a late night poker-therapy thing.
This is now way beyond acceptable. Surely a forum ban needs to be imposed now before this starts to get ugly.
I am happy to say that I have clicked on the report abuse button on the most recent offensive post.
Thank you Sky Steve m. The most offensive post has been removed and the thread has been closed down.
Hopefully that is the end in this sorry chapter of the forum. Although I have my doubts
