This site has become a very agressive clicky controling site that doesnt treet all players the same. Most players that leave this site dont post anything unless they are or were part of the click. Its too bad. Open your eyes. This is a great site emil but it went from having fun and or learning to alot of bullying.

well haus if you mean mods, yeah. most of them do a good job and their work is appreciated. but mod complaints arent followed up. one or two have no sense whatsoever. so they feel they arent being recognised for their work. tough shit i say. fact is youre not in it for the praise. youre in it to do the right thing. its not about banning people or muzzling them because you had a bad day or felt like it or didnt like someone. its not your call. you dont like the job mods, quit. simple.

Good day to you, haus!
Let me see if I can address your complaints, because we all care if anybody is unhappy here -in any way.
This site has become a very agressive clicky controling site that doesnt treet all players the same.
That's always a tricky subject.
We are all a newbie at some point and we all have those first few days of fitting in, finding some friendly faces. People who have gotten to know each other are bound to be happy to see their friends...but there is always room for everybody. Sometimes, people enjoy being an old timer, and treat new people as if they are non-existent. That's a shame which happens anywhere there are people.
It's like being at a party...
Say the party has been going on for 8 hours with a group of people who have only just met themselves. When you walk into the party, you see conversations already in progress, maybe even a few inside jokes have already been formed.
Now your choice is to find some people who are always willing to talk to new people, (there are many of us who happily welcome everybody to the tables) or wait for an opening to begin adding to the conversation -or not talk and assume nobody will ever respond to you.
But with every bad apple, there are a whole bushel of good ones.
So...
Start talking...and you'll indeed find your friends, your newfound acquaintances, or simply move on to another table. Some tables are seemingly more friendly than others, but there are friendly people through out this entire site. (I know this to be true, because I've met some really awesome people here, myself=)
Most players that leave this site dont post anything unless they are or were part of the click.
Well, sort of like the real World. This is the real World because it's completely filled with real people. Not everybody is going to be friendly...but you know, if you put your neck out there, somebody will respond.
Open your eyes. This is a great site emil but it went from having fun and or learning to alot of bullying.
We are currently working very hard keep the bullying from happening on the site. We all know that certain people in the World are not going to play nicely because they feel that since it appears anonymous, that they can do and say whatever they feel like. These people are going to happen, unfortunately -but please do not a few people ruin your experience.
Never let those kind of people win and make good people such as yourself -abandon a site you like to visit.
I hope this helps you in some way, and do stop and say 'hello' if you ever see me at the tables.
=)

people who have clicks or are clicky
would never be un welcoming to any one (unless there not nice ppl)
we all like new peeps rather then just sit back try joining in
you might find it fun people can only click if they want to click
so when u see us a the table make sure u say hi

I've played with haus at least a dozen times and he doesn't say diddly squat. He has never made any attempt to be friendly and does not even type ty when other players offer him the odd nh etc...
Hells Bells Haus...what do you expect when you yourself are so reticent?

ynot, perfect example. i dont know you and you dont me but your post is bs. i dont ever recall playing with you which meens i must be a stud for you to remember me. lol. i play little but see the same complaints. tonight was the first time i recognized you at the table. i said ynot12 how you doing four times no response all four. the click players are bigger than the site in their mind which chases the good bye players away. perfect example ynot12 tonight 10 minutes ago. thats what the initial post was about people leaving which i dont care cuz as ynot12 said i dont respond to anyone but it is more my fun here is to play cards not to socialize. i have never never been disrepectful to anyone and dont plan to be but good example about my very first post ever has been proven by the chip leader of this site ynot12!!

Seemed to me you were just attempting to socialise with me and Sexylady at the table.
"you have become another tipicle exampe of backing up something that is really stupid brown trout" - What's that, being nice? Or am i part of some bullying click?

Haus you say that it has become a bullying site, that it is clicky? What you are trying to say is "Those that chat form a bond" If you don't socialise or chat how the hell can you form a bond? Hey this site is open to all, how the "all" react is up to them. If you want to be quiet and play good for you mate and I respect that, however do not knock me, my mates and those that like to socialise.

Hovis, its not about me! Im a big boy. I can take care of myself. The original post was about why people leave the site. I am all for bonding!!! Thats what life is about. All I am saying is that there is a consistent amount of trash talk intimidation to anyone who doesnt have "buddies" at the table but they have a chip lead. I am not trying to stir anything. Its just an honest observation opinion that DOES go on. I have been on and off this site for about nine months and I keep coming back because I like it. Again, its a true observation that does happen. This never was an offensive post it was a response post to why players do leave the site. I have nothing against anyone at this site. Emil great site. Thank you.

hovis, I am sorry if you and or anyone took this offensively. I never said anything about you personally or your mates. Its not meant to be an attack on anyone. It is an observation opinion that I have seen. Hope to see you at a table soon.

Haus I respect your reply and applaud it's humility. You see friend I welcome all, say ty and gh everytime. I continue to say those words even when I never get a reply. It's not because I like to see my type it's because I respect those that don't want to chat and want to make them feel included, I try and put myself in the place of those that are unsure also and encourage. I believe you respect the "clicks" because they are not clicks, they just chat. Yes Haus I look forward to playing with you, on the tables that is lol

Ah, okay...
Since you've elaborated on your point -I do see what you were trying to convey and yes, people do spend an exorbitant amount of time pecking at the chip leader, goading them and such.
That can come from anybody and it doesn't necessarily take a clique mentality, though it does start a group mentality going and people often begin to chime in with insults.
We here, do not condone such behavior and we do ask people to stop bothering people just because there are winning. It could -in fact- warrant a muzzle.
So yes, we hear you -and we do care about how all people are treated.
Thank you for your time, Haus.
