Hi Rich

Sky come through again, long live the community, long live Sky Poker, I think tikay and I are going to be challenged now though

I do like the idea BUT (and isn't there always a but lol) I can see this as becoming one of those "closed shop" games with the same players qualifying week after week because they are the ones who make up 90% of the forum chatter.

well surely this is an incentive for other players to come and post, as soon as most of the freeroll lovers see the posters freeroll there will be numerous threads asking how to enter then i believe after a few weeks there will be hundreds of posters battling it out.

A valid point.  Maybe Sky could look into giving 10 places or so to the best posts of the week.

i was replying to sky rich, so my use of 'you' was me saying that sky rich should get a seat.

Perhaps it could be renamed the webby234 freeroll because he seems determined to be in it!
His productivity is astounding and I'm having a hard time keeping up.

hi guys

i think kiwi makes a valid point and that by limiting the freeroll to the top 50 posters, we are likely to see pretty much the same players earning a spot.  I like Scotty's idea of places for posters making valuable contributions, and would maybe go further and suggest that the freeroll be open to anyone meeting a minimum required number of posts in the week.  I know this idea would have its downside (people just positng enough and no more) but it would avoid contributors being disappointed despite making a large number of posts.

Imagine being the post bubble lol

Good Idea. I totally agree with you. Perhaps up to 35 posts a week to qualify. That is 5 posts a day.

loonytoons

yep, i agree that only meaningful posts should apply, sometimes 2 players may end up having a 'post chat' would this count as 200 posts etc when most may be answers such as yep, maybe, ok, no etc. (da mn, i could of got 4 posts out of that)

Hi guys,

Have read all your views I think (and I probably would be in the top 50 most weeks) that the most equitable solution would be perhaps 30% spot entries for quality topic creations/posts and 70% for number of posts. Then everyone is happy.

"Quality" is such a subjective judgment - it's likely to start riots.

phil12uk

Something needs to happen though as there are a lot of thread / posts happening in last couple of days that are blatantly there to gain posts  *cough* webby

We're even getting cut and paste jobs becoming forum threads for some reason.

Can there be a nice % on quality posts please Rich rather than quantity?

Agreed Vince. But can you think of a better way to balance it out rather than just on quantity? We could just leave it to the judgement of Richy boy.

That's a lot of pressure to put on the boy!
For a start, it means that he's got to read the posts rather than just looking at the statistics.
It's a thorny dilemma for sure.

Personally, I'd deduct points for bad spelling and grammar but that's just because I'm a grumpy old codger.

i dont care but wouldnt it be funny if webby wasnt entered lol ( only joking)

Made me chuckle that one lol

Sky_Rich

thanks for this feedback guys,

i will see how it goes, look at who has been entered after the first few weeks then maybe look at extending it to the top 100.

i will certainly be monitoring for 'spammers'.

I use to post anything and everything but it sort of had the reverse affect on me now , dont want to come across as desperate

Webby's posting is very impressive , reminds me of the DTW days...anyone seen them in the same room together?

unknown_username

Can we keep this to serious posts only please. Sillyness will not be tolerated.

ps. Do DIY posts count?
