ALL-Kenwong, re; 3STRIKES
THREE STRIKES;
This board should be used/treated as a business. And in a business, abusive behavior is not tolerated. The 3 strikes rule should be targeted at traders that badger and show abusive behavior, not to emotional outburst and those "Venting".
EMOTIONAL TRADERS;
Traders are emotional people, not Robots, so spats and tassles will happen, are common and minimally accepted. Rules should be flexible not harden. I say, do not tolerate abusive behavior during business hours and show leniency afterhours. For those that have "something to say" say it after hours. However, put yourself in time-out if you are "Venting" everyday.
THE VICTIM;
There were no victims here, there were only combatants.
Nocona was close to being a victim, but he took the higher road (hats off to nocona). Everyone that carried on the next day, and the next, and the next, was Actively ingaged in "mud slinging". In other words, yas all guilty. Beyond a normal emotional outburst, being "Actively Engaged" is fueling the fire. Strikes should be issued to both parties that are "Actively Engaged" and fail to use the ignore button. Carrying on a grudge-match for weeks, is disruptive to all members,
BY-STANDERS;
Can be part of the problem not the solution. Its simple, call the board police if they are disruptive to you. This is your board too.
CHALLENGE THE TRADER;
Yes absolutely, professionaly and respectfuly. Challenge the trade, not the trader. Challenge the method not the trader. See (HUSK) post
#18450 can elaborate more on this issue.
THE POKERSAM THING;
i said, many of you here followed pokersam from the CS board, so you are to blame for his swollen head as he is. Stop using him as a crutch and folow your own indicators (me included) The indicators will be right, the traders (one of you) will be wrong. Pokersam has some strong points and he can also be wrong. Absolutely, challenge him, (call him out) in a respectful manner.
