Last night I designed the code for it. Tonight, if I have the energy, I will write it into PFA, so if the forum acts funny, that's why.
I don't have a dev environment here. I just directly modify the code, and if I fuck something up, them's the breaks.
But I think I should be able to implement this without any fail occurring.
I suggest NOT putting in new code and all of these restrictions- its just more censorship and will run off members. Druff- dont let just one member and one thread force you into making these lame knee jerk reactions, this is not good site management. After you put in all of this code and programing, myself and the other good members will just stop posting here and then youre stuck with the resident retards and yourself. Boz is almost gone, FPjesus and then others. Seriously, bad move bro.

PokerFraudAlert...will never censor your claims, even if they're against one of our sponsors. In addition to providing you an open forum report fraud within the poker community, we will also analyze your claims with a clear head an unbiased point of view. And, of course, the accused will always have the floor to defend themselves.-Dan Druff
If Boz and Ftpjesus don't have 8 threads on the front page, this won't affect them at all.
I actually don't care who finds it objectionable. My vision for the site was never to have any one user dominate the place. Having more than 16% of the threads on the front page is dominating, in my book. I should have done this a long time ago.
Front page restriction now in place for new threads, as described on page 1. Tested and functioning properly (I think).
Working on thread replies now.
Stand by.
your actions in response to the desertrunner domination are totally sane btw
I have updated the system rules: https://www.pokerfraudalert.com/foru...ed-10-29-2025)
I have also completely finished the modifications to thwart forum domination by one user. Read about the rules regarding post/thread quantity here: https://www.pokerfraudalert.com/foru...-posts-threads
If the recent changes are disruptive to you, and you normally make good/quality posts here, please let me know and I'll tweak some things. But I don't think anyone should run into problems unless they're abusing the system.
I have NOT been dominating the forum...

I did not make these changes to run you off the system.
If you choose to leave, that's of course up to you.
I don't think you'll be able to make the case that you (or anyone) should have the right to occupy more than 16% of the front page. I have been very clear about not wanting that since I opened this site in early 2012.
What you also might not understand is the fact that this community does not want or need someone to come in and change things up. People here enjoy the general tone, pace, and quality of posts here. That's why they keep returning, even though forums are mostly obsolete in 2025. I know you believe that you're injecting life into the forum, and that you're improving things, but all you're doing is coming into a longtime space and telling the regulars how things need to be. That never goes over well, no matter what the setting.
The fact that other conservatives (such as 1dollarboxcar and Tellafriend) have turned against you should show you that it's not just political.
This community and its happiness is important to me, hence the reason I continue to run this forum despite the fact that it's often been a hassle and provides me little-to-no upside in poker or financially.
I try to consider what the members as a whole want/prefer when I make my decisions. I don't let people tell me what to do, but at the same time, community feedback very much informs a lot of my decisions both on the forum and radio show.
In general, the community feedback here is "desertrunner is overwhelming the forum, and we need less of him", and I can't fault them for thinking that, as you're definitely the most prolific user on here at the moment.
Again, I really suggest you move a lot of this over to Vegas Casino Talk, as that's more of a loose collection of advantage players and Vegas enthusiasts, and not as much as a community as this one. Over there I think people will more appreciate what you bring to the table. I am also more lenient about the quality and frequency of content on that site. I know you already have an account there.
No, you let the resident liberals run members off here.
Alot of members have left.If you choose to leave, that's of course up to you.
Unless it Sonatine or tellafriends.I don't think you'll be able to make the case that you (or anyone) should have the right to occupy more than 16% of the front page. I have been very clear about not wanting that since I opened this site in early 2012.
We've all heard this same speech 5 times, yet you let the resident liberals and people use the N word here ruin the board. (I never used the N word here. You got to stop living in the past and trying to be like its always been. Let go of the high school letter man jacket. And unfortunately this board will die again.What you also might not understand is the fact that this community does not want or need someone to come in and change things up. People here enjoy the general tone, pace, and quality of posts here. That's why they keep returning, even though forums are mostly obsolete in 2025.

I am not a conservative and these two post like liberals here.The fact that other conservatives (such as 1dollarboxcar and Tellafriend) have turned against you should show you that it's not just political.
As Boz has said to you several times, you let the liberals run the place.This community and its happiness is important to me, hence the reason I continue to run this forum despite the fact that it's often been a hassle and provides me little-to-no upside in poker or financially.
Nope, twice now you let one time.one member threads dictate policy here.I try to consider what the members as a whole want/prefer when I make my decisions. I don't let people tell me what to do, but at the same time, community feedback very much informs a lot of my decisions both on the forum and radio show.
Umm, no, its Sonatine as we have mentioned here.In general, the community feedback here is "desertrunner is overwhelming the forum, and we need less of him", and I can't fault them for thinking that, as you're definitely the most prolific user on here at the moment.
No, its dead over there and this place will die again soon like it did a few years ago.Again, I really suggest you move a lot of this over to Vegas Casino Talk, as that's more of a loose collection of advantage players and Vegas enthusiasts, and not as much as a community as this one. Over there I think people will more appreciate what you bring to the table. I am also more lenient about the quality and frequency of content on that site. I know you already have an account there.
I will admit that I have not been keeping track of sonatine and Tellafriend's presence on the front page, but as of yesterday, you had 14 threads, and they each had 5. That's a pretty big gap.
Notice that I changed this for EVERYONE, not just you. So if you're correct that sonatine and Tellafriend also dominate the front page, they soon won't, as they will be subject to the same restriction, as will the entire userbase.
To be honest, though, I don't think anyone besides you has had more than 8 threads on the front page typically, aside from maybe limitles when he's drunk. Even I only have 6 threads at the moment on the front page (not counting the stickied ones about system matters), and I own the damn place.
I just don't understand how you can object to a restriction which still allows you to have as much as 16% of threads on the front page, and you act like it's not enough.
Regarding whether members have left, sure, some have. But that's the nature of running a forum, especially in the age of Reddit/X/Facebook/Instagram which have basically destroyed forums.
Even before those social media sites, forums would always lose members, for a variety of reasons. Often the users simply get tired of forums, or develop other interests, or have life changes which pull them away.
I have not had a single user tell me that he was leaving because of the "liberals" here. You've cited snowtracks before, but he never told me this, and even if true, he was mostly a radio listener and an infrequent poster anyway.
I can tell you that the anti-desertrunner crowd is much larger here than the pro-desertrunner crowd. I'm never a guy who lets the masses tell me what to do, but at the same time, when most of the users here feel you're overwhelming, and the raw numbers verify this, what should I do? Tell them they're wrong?
desertrunner presently has 13 threads on the front page.
Obviously that means he can't make any new threads for awhile. I estimate it will be about 3 days until he can. Enjoy the break.
This is a new era of PFA where nobody can dominate the front page.
So weird how DR insists that he only spends 1 hour per day here...
Yet he was on for well over an hour this morning making his regular nonsensical posts, I logged in at around noon quick and he was here, and I logged in now and he's here. That is one hell of an hour!
Frankly, I normally truly don't give a shit how long someone spends here, but in his case, its just funny how consistently defensive he is on only being here for one hour a day
