Seanny has done nothing but bitch and moan for (at least)the last 6 months and hasnt posted anything else worthwhile. I wouldnt lose any sleep if he didnt come back tbh but will obviously welcome him with open arms if he does return with a changed attitude(tbh, id expect him to come back unless hes very childish)

The old reputation system KiD kicked maybe wasn't so bad after all.

remember when there was a lot of bickering and Steve-O kept getting negative rep points? herein lies the explanation of why this system was a joke.
Although this thread has gone a little off-topic, the guts of it all is that if someone only has bad to say, they can gtfo imo. There is absolutely nothing wrong with constructive criticism and believe it or not, it is all taken on board. This is KidReds forum and the mods only keep an eye on certain things for him. We are all members here and we all want it to move forward in the right direction.
Non-poker topics are also not frowned upon at all but its when the majority of threads in all forums turn into either a stupid flaming war or into rediculous threads filled with stupid oneliners that the problems occur.
Everyone knows that this is happening so the time has obviously come to start discouraging bad posts as doing nothing has not worked. These infraction points are also not new additions - they have always been in the rules but have always been overlooked.

I have to commend the mods on this, they keep up with this no matter what, and like most other sites, nonpoker, like sports sites, they just fall down the drain once they have a bad month and they seem to keep everyone in line
If Kidred really cares about the direction of the site then his money, then I gotta think he really does want this site to succeed, we've had some pretty good players come and go cause of the free threads around here, which resulted in some way or another them getting the boot. Personally I like the new system, but maybe thats just me

I feel it is a banning offense, however I also feel that the mod(s) who laughed about it with him and then failed to ban the account when he sold it must take a share of the blame.

Hm, if each member can only vote once or twice on another member it may work? Other ideas I could think of is strategy post of the month, didnt we have this 2 yrs ago. Optionally KiD could sweeten quality posts with a few $...well it's his decision.
And btw, what about more PFO donkaments, great fun imo

The trouble is this: As poker players we are very self reliant, and don't take kindly when we're told what to do; that's why we play poker, to be the boss.
Now, on PFO when someone (the mods) is the boss everyone takes offense.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, you all want to be left alone, until it's you that starts getting slammed, or scammed, or flamed, or blamed, whatever.

He sold the account and the scamming was done before the mods knew (well, before I did anyway). Laughing and joking about it is one thing, but then selling it without telling us is bad (selling it anyway is bad fwiw).

Does this sentence read, He sold the account...THEN the scamming was done before the mods knew.
or
He sold the account and the scamming was done before the mods knew..
Because one of these is accurate and the way you put it was not. lets clear that up.

afaik fadi didn't do the scamming. but by letting a known scammer have the account, he should take the blame.
