MyPlayIsRAB 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hey Guys,I think we need to standardize rail theads. theyre getting out of hand with peopleposting them, getting down to 3 or 4, then not posting again.This is what IMO a rail therad should look likeTitle: Rail Call! (posters name), buyin/time, siteBody of Message: can be somewhat changed, but if someone is going to be making rail theads, i believe that they should keep editing the first post to make it easier for people,a nd if anyone wants to post questions/comments/etc they can make a new post n the thread. Finally, POST THE RESULTS OMG. Here's what a sample post would look like under my setup.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rail Call: MyPlayIsRAB $26 9PM Est on FullTiltCome Rail RAB, hes down to 8 in the 26$ 15k guar on full tilt. update 1 - down to 7, cl with 1.1mupdate 2 - 4 handed, hes 3/4update 3 - hu, hes down 4-1 in chips but playing like a foxupdate 4 - he took 2nd for $2850! congrats!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This allows people to see progress throughout the FT and such. If you want to post any HH's, make an update that says "See HH below" and make a reply post with it. These should be limited to 4-5 per FT unless its a major tourney.also makes it easier so that people do not need to sift through 20-40 posts (if its someone like bkice or anotehr regular) to find out results, if theyre even posted. dont make a rail thread if youre not commited to updating 3-4 times :)I really think this will make things easier on everyone. Id like any feedback on this, but i think this is pretty straight forward and will make things easier.Patrick Link to post Share on other sites
fatman 1 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 eh...good suggestions but either way doesn't matter to me...1 page or 20. People are only going to read it if they are interested. Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 good suggestion. not sure i'd make up an example where i lose the chip lead and end up second, though... dream BIG! Link to post Share on other sites
dtblizz 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 IMO...let people post what they want, how they want to post it, where they want to post it.Standardized rail posts and relegated rail threads seem a bit over the top. Link to post Share on other sites
Loismustdie 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thats a whole lot of rigamarole for what is basically a dude, or chick, just asking for people to watch them play. Does the OP keep his toothbrush in a germ free container as well? Are you're hand towels white, and your washcloths a wonderful mint green? Do you always count out 6 squares of toilet paper, no matter how large the poopie? Link to post Share on other sites
sixhands 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I like the idea, I don't really care what content it has but I do agree that the main post be updated with the results.Most of the time I am not able to rail because I am at work so this makes it somewhat exciting Link to post Share on other sites
