No, not at all. I love it. But it basically has no boundries. And the fear is that it represents the actual poker content. I think it's needed to keep this stuff from spilling into other forums, but people get banned from things said in the forum that may/may not have been over the top. Obviously X has final say but I think it's gloves off when talking about personal/political/religious/humour issues. I think it would serve it's purpose somewhere else on the site and maybe not reflect on what FTR is trying to do with it's poker site. You don't need to bury it just have it a litttle more protected from the casual or first time lurkers and potential members. Just because we find it funny, not all will. Some of us have a better tolerance for humour. How would spoons fat freind find things in that forum as an example. If she becomes a member at FTR then all the people spewing insults should get strikes?? What if it's a member already. The line is very scewed depending on who or what is said and strikes and banning from things in the community may be over the top. It's all relitive to who reads it. I think if yu post anything in that forum you get what you deserve. It's opinions on life and we all have led different lives. I know some mothers of small children and alterboys will not find things funny in there, STRIKES???
