PASSWORDS & posting

[scrawnybob]

PLEASE NOTE AMENDED - NEW 10+ POSTING RULE APPLIES FOR 1st APRIL FOR ALL MEMBERS AND TAKES IMMEIDATE EFFECT FOR NEW MEMBERS

hi all

ok so there seems to a fair bit of confusion for new members and members with less than 10 posts what they need to do to enter our private tournaments ...

Please note I'm putting this Thursdays FullTilt Poker $50 Freeroll PASSWORD PM
out later than usual - Thursday AM to give people who havent posted or havent posted enough a chance to get into the swing of things -

4kingpoker want you to play in our games and win our money ;-)

the automated password PM's ONLY go out to members with 10+ posts

So - Either get posting asap so that we have you as making 5+ posts by tomorrow (Thursday) morning or if you make your 5 posts later than and miss the auto password PM
then PM me "scrawnybob" with an individual request for the password and I will try to get it to everyone

GENERAL NOTES ON PASSWORDS & POSTING

firstly all the information is in the introductory email every new member recieves -
but no matter here it all is again

1) Why are 10+ posts are required for passwords

To be able to play in our private tournaments you need 10+ posts - this is an absolute rule for the freerolls but is flexible for the buy-ins. We have a posting requirement so that they dont just become a free-for-all of non members which makes it better for you - the members

NB. I might send out the password PM's for the buy-in to players with less than 10 posts but not freerolls and to access either in the forum you will need 10+ posts

2) Where are the passwords ?

Password PM's are sent out via PM to all members with 5+ posts generally around 24hrs before each tournament - if you dont have 10+ posts then you won't get the reminders

If you are a late joiner or you have made your 10+ posts later than this time you will have missed the automatic PM with the password - all is NOT lost - So long as you have made 5+ posts contact me (scrawnybob) via PM and I will try to send it out to you individually

Please bear in mind the closer to tournament start times the less I appreciate PM's asking me how to get the password / people who havent made the 10 posts or generally people who are rude or indifferent.

3) Post Quality - posts dont have to be a mile long or works of literary genius - but use common sense ...

the same cut and paste post x 10 will get deleted ... doesn't count

saying hi 10 times in exactly the same way ... doesn't count

asking 10 times how you get the password ... doesn't count

making 10 following on posts each one pointless sentence long - irritates me ... also doesn't count

posting gibberish x10 is just a pain in the a** for me to delete and makes everyone think your a muppet ... also doesn't count

It's fine to post several different hi's / hello posts to other people in existing threads - that's cool but try and relate it to the other posts then we're all being friendly and thats extra good.

I appreciate we have members from all over the world and language can be an issue but
in most cases non English speakers have made the effort to make far better posts than some native English speakers just trying to get the passwords - so no excuses

There are hundreds of threads in the forum - just say hi to the forum (once) and then reply to 9 posts with something halfway useful or helpful and your there ;-)

cheers scrawnybob
