Do to some content recently made on the forum which the admin and staff has deemed unsuitable for TFPR, the rules have been modified.

Click Here

We are no longer allowing politics, religion and sexists posts to bleed unto the forum. We have various kinds of people here, and the diversity is wonderful. However, we are all human...and we do not want to see anybody feeling ill at ease participating on the forum.

Freedom of Speech does not apply here, and we will be taking any post which falls into these categories -very seriously.

There are minors here, and we hope you all do your absolute best to write posts which are suitable for minors.

Thank you...

Dani i still want to add 1 point, this tread will be down in 1 day if nobody postt so let it stick on top for a while so ppl who are not here now for whateva reason can read it. I think its an inportant rule so it shuld be read. Hope u consider this.

I have some concerns however:

* This thread is not sticky to stay on top
It should be for some times.

* Things are written as if Ron and I were hurt by simple political debates: this is not the case. Though it is a good thing that such divisive topics are now forbidden (since they are contrary to the goal of this site, that is, uniting people around a game). our concerns were about very precise criminal statements negating very precise facts in the history of XXth century. This has not been acknowledged.

* The perpetrators (I have three in mind) have not even been issued a public formal warning. And no sanctions are stated for such future criminal offenses.

It is stuck...it has been totally stick-i-fied.
=)

It hurt the entire dynamic of the site, and the peaceful nature of this site. You two gents just happened to take a stand -which I personally applaud.

If we're eliminating sexism, could we make the software default to female when you're getting on the waiting list? Seems unfair that us ladies always have to play tourneys as men.

In fact, in your profile, the info Male/Female is present.
If things were programmed correctly,
the software should use this info to pick out which avatar gender radiobutton
is preselected by default on the tables.

Spoken like a true man.

Nope. Ask any woman on this site. You can set the profile to male or female, the software ignores it when you're entering a room and defaults to male. Usually not a problem until you're trying to get on a crowded tourney table. If you take the extra 2 seconds to click the box, you can miss getting on the table.

More evidence of the dominance of the white male boy's club.
