I like these stats. I am shocked at what I saw this. In this case, it's nothing bad, but it's just about quality. As I thought that are/were a total of 30 clubs, at most. But, I counted, and give or take one or two, there are/were 152. Wo! What it shows is that GK is a good and popular website to have that many clubs on there.

Fascinating
I did not realize that the ability to dig this info up was available. I am grateful for this post, as there is a wealth of information here.

Thanks,

It just takes a bit of manual HTML-ing.

In the early GK tests you can click onto the GK player and report him for abuse  

Just saying, just in case anyone found any abuse.
baddeeds
25-Jul-17, 15:46

@the_jim: With the exception of 5 of those clubs. And, out of them, 3 which were obsolete, I have not found any sort of abuse in the club itself, if that's what you're alluding. Out of the 5, 4 were personal where it affected me. Out of those 4 that got to me, 3 of them is also what the founder and a moderator or two of the Fiat Flux Club members took note of. It was in such a bad way that I paired up with TA to end the extreme abuse which has, thankfully, happened. And, I'm not just talking about report abuse for a post here and there either, like what we've seen and dealt with in this club. Instead, I'm talking about where many posts in several different threads have had abuse. One of those examples is what JJ mentioned in the friends thread. And, in those instances, it was about bad things being directly posted about other players publicly. I am glad that, for now, those ordeals are over.

@ jkarp
Sir I am very sorry that I confused you!

I was making a joke about GK and nothing
about you or anything else.

I sincerely apologise about my bad jokes

I mean no offence

Love and Respect

Your Friend

Emperor of the North Pole
Crazy.

I'd like to see stats on which players are moderators in the most clubs.

Doxing Players
I deleted at least one dox post. If that is censorship--tough breast tissue. I knew the person (in one particular instance) in no way wanted her private information shared.

On an amusing note, Comrade Groper doxed everyone who made comments on some White House policy issue recently. Quite humorous!

www.slate.com

Oh, it was on Groper's fraudulent claim of illegal votes used as a pretext for a national registry Republicans have historically opposed. I hate to come across as political--I'm really not. But lately it seems that if it doesn't epitomize hypocrisy it isn't Republican, and Groper's shenanigans are all over the map.

Good question!

Also we need to know
how many players in each team!
When they left!
Why they left the team and
did their patents divorce

25-Jul-17, 16:52

I wasn't offended but just confused, Jim. I thought that you just wanted to know if there was a long history of abuse or not with any clubs. But, I get confused a lot, more then average. No harm done, though.

It was, indeed, those three players. One of them (lordmonkeymouth) has closed down his account after being silenced. Being that he was previously on as mrmarmalade, to me closing his account down is a sign of bad news. As there is a good chance that he'll come back online again. But, I am ready. If and when he does, he'll go back on my ignore list to prevent him from applying to joining my club. And, if he becomes a team captain, as he did under MRM, mrmarmalade, I won't accept challenges from that team.

Quote: "I kind of think all three may actually be the same person. Just not sure".

I can assure you that they are not the same person. I was on a Club with all three for a short while. I was invited to join, but decided there was too much nastiness and silliness posted for my taste. The Club I was on was founded by an "Andrew", but he closed the club and left GameKnot. I think he came back under a new identity.

Oh Lordy
St. Insanity filed a false report on my post above.

Crazy!
lord_shiva
25-Jul-17, 19:46

False Reports
are apparently the only way he can now communicate with us.
shirlmygirl
25-Jul-17, 19:51

Probably not. He is "silenced". I have been trying to get him "unsilenced" by GameKnot, but they don't see it my way. If he can see this thread, at least he will know that I have tried - twice. I think he may have had a run in with Andrew, but I am not sure of that.
shirlmygirl
25-Jul-17, 20:02

I do not see the name of the club I mentioned above on that list of clubs. Can the name of the club be changed, I wonder? I am sure saintinsanity would love to join this conversation.
baddeeds
26-Jul-17, 07:45

The bad news is that, as per what the founder requested, I had to forward what got reported to JJ. But, if you ask me, I don't really see anything in the way of GK rule violations. However, it has to be up to the founder of this club.
lord_shiva
26-Jul-17, 07:58

False Reports
JJ does not do the knee jerk reaction of other club founders, I have noticed. If a post in fact violates rules, I have no issue with it being deleted. And the reported posts above don't contain any material I poured my heart and soul I to. I don't care if these are deleted, they are neither clever or informative, unlike other posts I made recently which were falsely reported.

LS is such a bad man. Bad man posting! Beware, beware!

It does hurt my feelings to create some clever, creative, informative and well researched content only to have it censored because it steps on a toe bearing political polish.

Club Founder
gets notified along with all moderators. As a moderator I received a notification on my own post, JKarp.
lord_shiva
26-Jul-17, 08:16

Deleted Post
The deleted post noted that three specific users were noted for having their clubs rapidly closed. There wasn't any need to name the three users, so I "censored" that post.

I enjoy conversing with two of the three, I have had no personal exchanges with the third. I also don't know any of the particulars on why these three were silenced or their clubs closed. I suspect it had something to do with mild harassment of GK management.

I greatly enjoy conversing with people in these forums, and would hate to see the clubs closed on the grounds they proved too much trouble to continue. I tend to make more posts than moves. For this reason (and because the rules are reasonable and should be respected) I avoid making bad posts.

baddeeds
26-Jul-17, 08:53

What I was saying at 7:45 is that I liked your post and did not find you to be in violation of the GK rules. JJ also agreed that you did not violate any rules. So, had you not deleted it, it would've remained where it was. But, I respect your decision for what it is, lord_shiva.

I looked at one of those inactive clubs and gained some good information from the posts, which I will not share here. Thank you for listing those clubs, JJ.
baddeeds
27-Jul-17, 15:02

I think that not sharing was the right choice for the complaint reasons.
baddeeds
22-Feb-18, 17:15

I want to thank JJ for providing all of those links in the first post of this thread. After the Fiat Lux club closed down a member of the Chess Problems Lovers club thought that everything was lost. But, due to those links, I was able to find the one from Fiat Lux and post it in that thread. As a result, I was able to keep things preserved, and the member thanked me for that. But, it would not have been possible without the links.

By a member, I meant another member.

I am so thankful for clever people on GameKnot who can find these things when most of us don't know how to.
