heavenlyemma: Not sure I can do anything, as I gave him some sugar after he gave me some. I'm not sure if that would be deemed egging him on.

My missus heavenlyemma (ID 1131) bought me 6 months membership as a Christmas present.
She's yet to get credited her brains.

Not that she hasn't got any brains

SMIRF Engine: Ours is fine. No changes or anything out of the blue with that program.

Dryznik: You remember wrong. You could only play a maximum of 4 games in any one ladder and you were limited to playing those within a certain limit on the ladder.

Pioneer54: I've set a max to how many games I'll start so I don't run into that problem.

My players don't usually have to wait for anymore then 2 days for me to move.

Pioneer54: Buy Rook membership, you don't have to worry about limitations then.

Shhh, I might get a buyer!!

I know..

I've got a dome in London for sale.. hardly used, prime river front property..

.. Only £100,000,000

.. Yeah he was supposed to be the "Arch Moderator"

Not all the Mods want to join the Mod Squad, so it can't be done that way. And you CAN'T force Mods to join.

bwildman: That's more work for Fencer.. we'll never get to see Pro Gammon!!

ClayNashvilleTn: Yeah I remeber something like that once.. People were leaving because they weren't being paid enough.

The bosses doubled wages and the staff stayed.

Your gonna get some that won't renew as a matter of course.

Uh! Why then is paid membership increasing?

ClayNashvilleTn: Kinda?

lol .. Only if your going for the record and don't leave your seat.

myfanwy: A few milliseconds difference?

More then twice lol.. but this is getting.

ClayNashvilleTn: Jules is ALWAYS right, you should remember that!! *ducks*

It's Blazing without an upgraded membership Clay, apart from minor glitches this site is always fast!!

Oh well!!

Is BK being a bit sluggish now, or do I need to reset my PC?

ArtfulDodger: The Flame Pit is not the cave, the cave was brought back... it was unbanned.

Hrqls: The big boss has to remove you.. I think.

Who's frightened, where?

pauloaguia: Yep. So it's bk then! Phew :)

Is there a slight problem with BK at the mo, or do I need to reset the PC?

furbster: Yes I think... I would, but robbing a bank could get me into trouble

Walter Montego: International law covers even Fencers homeland I would have thought.

Walter Montego: It starts getting into libel and slander territory. It'd be hard to prove, but is it work the risk for Fencer.

Yes.

morphy4ever: Yes.

If you don't believe me ask one of your friends. I'm sure at least one of them knows.

.. Oh yes, I forgot.. A politness rating system that is supposed to stop the worst which is abused by asking players for votes. Hence, people who would of got a life long ban from here still roam that site.

Cranky Franky: Yeah right, pull the other one it's got bells on it.

You forgot to mention the flaming, name calling, harrasement and other poo that goes on on the IYT boards. Not to mention that some send constant complaints into IYT so when the serious complaints get sent in they are ignored. Not that Pat Chu listens to his members much anyway... unless they threaten him.

That doesn't happen here.

farmer sam: I've got me Acme personality wipe/install kit.

I'll use Marvin lol

ClayNashvilleTn: No, because position can demand that you ignore what he might roll. Only maybe in 6 or 7 turns may I be interested and only if he drops a free one that I can knock off.

ClayNashvilleTn: Backgammon is also about position building blocks and many other things, whether it's better to move the back counters, to leave them them there, whether to make a run, etc.

ClayNashvilleTn: We are not talking about Craps, we are talking about Backgammon.

ClayNashvilleTn: Clay there are Powerful programs that can defeat the top Backgammon players out there... This is a fact.

They are not free mind you :)

philip: Not as much if you are using a program if nothing at all really as the person cheating has not done the work. But.. on the other hand if you beat someone who is cheating. :)

philip: From what I read he gets a neural net program that learns by playing against itself.

And yes, I did post more info, but I thought best not to in the end.

harley: No a program that is trained to play the dice in the best fashion in backgammom would help... But it spoils the fun of playing the game.

ClayNashvilleTn: Clay, you don't know how I think. BBW has cleared up the matter.

BIG BAD WOLF: Thankyou BBW for your explaining the situation more clearly.

ClayNashvilleTn: No-ones doubting that he deserved moderation. but what the moderation was for was minor. An editing/deletion of the post with a pm'd warning would have worked... The person involved does listen, and if he'd not stopped then hiding does the job, then if he'd not stopped then ban him.

The rules are there over how we moderate for a reason.

ClayNashvilleTn:



If a post does not fall into the site guidelines, the moderator should:
Edit post for content if rest of the post belongs in the board.
Remove the post if none of the post belongs in the board.
Warn user IN PRIVATE about edited/removed post, and point them to guidelines if needed.
If multiple users are engaged in a flame war, a public post saying "stop" can be used.
If posting continues after a warning, the poster should be hidden for at least a few hours, possibly longer (24 hours or more).
If after being unhidden a poster continues, then a ban of the user can be used.
Moderators are free to take more strict or less strict actions as needed, but should try to follow the above guideline when possible.

BIG BAD WOLF: "but I can tell you that it was more then just a "SINGLE word" that lead us to our actions."

Thing is BBW, those other words concerned only came in after the person was hidden for one word which the same moderator the other night just asked another person to edit out.

One person is being treated one way for a minor thing and another is treated differently. If the person was asked to remove the word and refused and then after being hid then carried on I could understand the actions taken.

Fencer: lol Ok. :)

Fencer: Ahhhh that explains why. Is it possible that it could show that there are messages on any board within that F/s like it use to please :)
