Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
1) About allowing pawns to post on boards - NO. Not before BK 2.0 with new anti-spam functionality developed by myself is ready to be launched. Otherwise it would be too risky. You know why.
2) About banned users - yes, I did it. The reason is partially The Cave, partially other things that would be too difficult to explain to everyone. Yes, I can hear protests like "what other things?" and "explain everything!" but the things are far more complicated than they seem to be, especially during several past days. It's not just about two or three users, it's about the whole BrainKing itself. And BrainKing as a site for everyone [EVERYONE!] is always my top priority. And everybody knows that it doesn't mean just pressing the BAN button and forgeting, I always look for the best solution. Even for certain former user who is successfully trying all possible ways to forget about him forever.
3) About Harley and speculations about her - yes, I've asked her to help me. Why? It's dead simple - I cannot do everything at once. However, nobody [NOBODY!] has an access to my message box or any other message box, such speculations are ridiculous [and not for the first time, remember?]. You can imagine that my message box is really full or questions of all kinds, it's impossible to answer everything and have some time for work. Moreover, Harley is better in English than me [obviously] and when I ask her to reply to several questions instead of me [with no private information released, of course], it can be only helpful, especially when my misunderstanding of one of Steve's questions was an unwanted source of the mentioned speculations.
4) About The Cave - yes, I've deleted it. I admit that mistakes happened on all sides but after posting several warnings and expressing my displeasure with its content, I've been expecting that the fellowship creator will ask me to "clean up" its membership and leave only "hard boys" there. Unfortunatelly it never happened, the hints were probably not clear enough. However, lots of frequent boards are to be kind of cleared as well due to technical reasons [BrainKing database is growing too fast and we don't have unlimited resources].
5) About me playing games - is it a crime to play games on my own site? That's one of the main reasons why I had created it :-) And I am used to work and play at once, fast playing without complicated thinking is the best way for me to work more effeciently, whether you believe it or not. Furthermore, I've read that some users think that it's the reason of me not answering some messages. Wrong. I've answered so many questions and messages inside and outside BrainKing that I would deserve a month vacation. And not everything can be answered immediately.
6) About relationships among men and women - yes, it's very complicated, especially here where a number of different cultures meet at the same place. I've been always giving my best efforts to make it easier for everyone and that's what I am doing now although for some users it doesn't look like it. Everybody knows that everyhing I do here is what I think is the best for BrainKing, not for any particular user. From a long term point of view. That's what is called "responsibility". It's sad that certains users never tried to look at it from my point of view.
7) About outcries of type "majority of users wants this!", they are kind of pointless. The real majority of BK users never [or very rarely] posts on any discussion boards, they are happy to play games and that's exactly what this site is for. It's not a public and unmoderated chat room where everything is allowed.
8) One more thing - it's interesting that there was never such a problem with Czech users. Czech fellowships and discussion boards are full of normals posts, nobody offends anybody. So I could say "okay, let's make BrainKing Czech only, it will solve everything at once!" because number of Czech paying members increases each day.
Of course I won't do it. I like you all. And BrainKing is an international site. But it won't be better with your current attitude.
Phew, it's much longer than I expected. Thanks everybody who was so patient to read it all :-)
