View Thread : Rules for PokerForum.com "invitational" freeroll events
max
Our standing rules for the 'invitational' events is that they're open to any and all members who:
a) have been members for at least two weeks before the freeroll was announced.
b) are active members in that they visit and contribute to the forums regularly.
c) are members in good standing (ie not "Suspended" or the like).
If you qualify for an event we'll send you an invitation via Private Message (PM). You must have PMs enabled in order to receive these invitations and the passwords we send out to members who confirm their attendance.
If you're planning on attending the event please confirm via PM and we'll forward you the final table details once we have them in hand.
PS. "Contributing" to the forum means more than just "please can I have the password to the freeroll" type posts. If you are genuinely interested in being part of the freerolls then we're sure you can find something meaningful to post about.

Thanks very match for info Max.....fantastic work in the forum !!!

If you're wondering how to enable your PMs try this:
1) Go to http://mb.pokerforum.com/profile.html?do=editoptions
2) Scroll down to the "Messaging & Notification" box.
3) In that box you'll see an option labelled "Enable Private Messaging". Check the box.
4) Press the "Save Changes" button at the bottom. You should be good to go.
If for some reason you wish to _disable_ your PMs repeat the above but in step (3) uncheck the "Enable Private Messaging" box.

janosauron
thx max for the info .... the truth i was confused
Fold'em
maybe we should have another small rule to the freeroll entry - your posting history should be beyond only posts related to getting invites to the freerolls...just a thought.
max
:) Good one Fold'Em, I say we add that ASAP.
sensei24
Thanks for the tournament max.
truushot

angleskid

catalin

xROCKx
I think being active on a site is a good rule.

max
... do i have enough posts? ... can i be pmed the pw please
You've got to be kidding me! You registered the day of the freeroll, drop a bunch of miscellaneous posts and ask to be invited!?! Did you even read the rules posted here? What part of the first item "must have been member for at least two weeks before the freeroll was announced" didn't you understand? Jeez!
As always the bottom line is that the freerolls are for our loyal, contributing members. That does not include people who just drop in for the freerolls. I think our regular members would rather cancel an event than have it stuffed with people they've never heard of or will ever see again. Correct me if I'm wrong on that guys but until I hear different that's the apprach we'll be taking on this.

i haven't been a longtime member, but I like your rules ( although i didnt for the first two weeks of membership lol) i agree though only contributing members should be given the password to the freeroll. Plus someone leeked the password a few weeks back and i highly doubt it was a contributing member because the freeroll went fine last night, 17 showed up and i have seen most of them here before.............
max
... I like your rules ( although i didnt for the first two weeks of membership lol)
That's an interesting comment UG, can you elaborate? I'd be curious to know what you didn't like about the "probation" period.
Fredericso
i waiting invitation fr next freeroll max
canadiancoates
Try contributing to the forum and you will be invited to lots of them.. The site doesn't want lurkers dropping in simply for the freerolls..
doflovespoker
I think I still qualify but am not sure. Is there a way we can easily tell if we are still on the invitational list?
max
Click on your user name and it will bring up your profile.
If your number of posts --assuming they are not just "gimme password" posts-- is increasing you're in good shape.
If your "Last Activity" is recent you're in good shape.
If you are not listed as "New User" you are in good shape.
I hope that answers your question.
Fredericso
today no play max at titan freeroll?
canadiancoates
Don't know how you do it Max.. Some people just don't get it..
overcast
Who really gives a damn about the freeroll anyway? The same type of money grubbing newbies keep popping up begging and pleading for the freeroll password like it's the fcking holy grail. Get a clue.
canadiancoates
Ya it reminds me of highschool and I always had my own smokes.. The leaches come outa the wood work.. You people need to give you heads a shake, this site isn't freeroll central they are provided for people that participate in this forum, simple as that. If you aren't planning on doing so, hit the road! Sticky that to the top!
Luchett
I play at the titan Poker.
It's the best software I have seen. It's just wonderful.
It's has a very profissional look.
see at Tables....Luchett :p
[Admin says: I do hope you've READ the requirements for this freeroll. The cut-off date for eligible sign-ups is two weeks PRIOR to the announcement of the event which would make it the 28th of June for . I see that you registered today, the 19th of July.]
angelhalo
I joined the Forum on 6/22 and still can't get my pms enabled. Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong?
max
Don't know what the problem was but they're working now. Your invite is on it's way.

honesty how hard is it.....give it time impatient kids
packerfan34
I would like to say thanks 4 having invites to freerolls. i would never have known about this site untill i came across it on Mansion. I hope to find value on this site.
walli007
this seems like a good way to keep people interested in the site. thanks for being here. still trying to figure out the navigation of this site..
HWandADBush
The way that the passwords are handled at this site keep the phishing for passwords from happening like at other sites. I have seen too much of that at some of the other sites and too many players at what is supposed to be tourneys for forum members is just another freeroll madhouse with all the all-in-cowboys that go along with most freerolls. Thank you.
cbrent
so you cant get the password today for the tourney if you registerted today?
canadiancoates
The passwords are hidden in coded words within the forum pages.
FullofBullets
Does Max even do these anymore? I hated Titan Poker but the FR's were cool!
max
Been a while hasn't it? We were looking into ways to set them up _without_ it being a hassle for our US players but things got complicated and ... here we are. I'll ask around and see where we're at with them.
Kid_Aaron
Gee funny how the majority of posters in this thread have 1 or 2 posts to their name and never seen again?
It's always good when someone new starts up and becomes a regular contributer.

Cool, thanks man. I would love to have'em back on PS again if we can. Full Tilt I'm pretty sure is okay with everybody, too.
Kid_Aaron
I'm happy with either PS or FTP
But even if we don't get a freeroll, i'll still be sticking around. There may be more people on other poker forums but here you seem to get better responses and it's more like a smaller group that sticks together and helps out each other!
FullofBullets
Yeah I think the FR's are just so we can generate interest from other people. That's how I was brought in. It's always nice to play against the people that you post with, too. :D
canadiancoates
I agree the group that we have here are entertaining and very good poker minds for the most part. I find the bigger sites are mainly full of crap and braggards and alot of BS..
Freerolls are nice and like someone else said its cool to play against fellow posters to see how you match up game wise as compared to game knowledge.
With freerolls come the lurkers and its nice to hear that they attract people that are willing to particpate in the site to keep it going..
Stars is likely the best place to have them at this point..
FullofBullets
Thanks for backing me, CC. :D

Due to one of the recent on-going threads...I think a free roll would be very, very interesting...
