Domination stall spamming? Posting Peeping Toms? Hot or Not? A simple suggestion to let the community decide for themselves. | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

There have been some complaints about ****posting on domination stalls. While I get that that is pretty ****ing annoying at times, any sort of rule about it would require precious mod/admin time to uphold, which is why I’m against that. However, we can introduce self-regulation by a very simple change.
Disable anonymous dom stall posting.
Because if you want to talk ****, you better own up and face the consequences. Like to tell the team how many shotguns I have? Chances are, they’ll be all yours. Plus I’m pretty sure anon posters are all fat cowards who haven’t touched a woman's genitals since birth anyway.
Discuss. |

I support this, mainly because I don’t post anon. unless some one has specifically asked me to peep someone and post it. Overall, I find the whole anonymous thing pretty lame.
Also, anyone serious is not going to use all their offensives against the person who posted the info on their hand unless they aren’t actually playing for medals that week. You use them on whoever you need to take out if you are playing to win, regardless of who is annoying you. Revenge is a dish best served cold, when your target is in the lead and not expecting you to unload every single card you have on them. Preferably far enough in the distance so they are confused about why you are targeting them and send a tubmail asking why why why. Log in to see images! |

I concur. Disable anonymous posting. This is a game about trolling for ****’s sake, man up people. |

After consideration, and watching some of the stalls over the last day, I’ve changed my mind. Anonymous posts do have their uses, spamming just shouldn’t be one of them. CoreyJess edited this message on 07/30/2008 10:39PM |

Signed with reservations. I like that there is a level of paranoia/lateral thinking/false accusations/anonymous backstabbing/false information/etc etc, and these would all be lost with the loss of anonymous posting. What that means is weaker players can’t play stronger players off against each other, and other such tactics (something I used extensively when I started playing dom Log in to see images! meeeeeeeeee edited this message on 07/29/2008 5:35PM |

its fun to read an anonymous false card count on the stall, for instance this week someone posted an interesting hand for gamble-bot 3000, who has no cards. |

Arktor Posted: No, no specific examples that I recollect. Just obvious tactics – false information mixed together with real information (or real information presented in a way that makes it seem unreliable) coordinating players together if they’re being lazy and so on.
There’s not a whole lot of depth to dom strategy at the moment, but the anon thing at least adds the possibility of layers.
If there were a technical fix for spamming I’d be all for it (e.g. no more than two posts by one person in a row) With that, I don’t think the posting of players hands would be a good enough reason on its own to lose the anon option. meeeeeeeeee edited this message on 07/29/2008 6:09PM |

Really anon posting is a part of the strategy. While it is possible to abuse it to post peeping toms, there’s no guarantee about the correctness of the post. You can post fake things to drive the game your way. |

I agree with doing away with Anonymous posting, but I think revealing Peeping Toms is fair. If you want to arise the ire of the person you reveal, that’s your decision. Plus, it allows for strategies like ****ing off someone so you become a target, and allow a friend to win. |

It doesn’t seem like anon posting was required for someone to spam the **** out of the top bracket.
No to your suggestion, ‘cause it doesn’t stop spam, and posting someone’s hand isn’t an issue as far as I’m concerned. Ricket edited this message on 07/30/2008 11:04PM |
