    I did!  It was in this thread...She wrote something fascinating...

    SP:
    ...The honor of being the hero of a public panegyric is what you could hardly have aspired to, either from your talents or from your good qualities. The partiality of your friends has never given you credit for more than mediocrity in the former, and experience has proved that you are indebted for all your consequence to the reverse of the latter.

    Now ~that's~ how to write.  lol

    Don't know if my post got deleted or not, but I just want to let everyone know that without a doubt in my mind the master club is an advantage on BPB.

    If the WGT admins want to take me off of the pro's for the 18 hole stroke play and put me in the master tier I would be grateful and would probably cool a lot of people's heads.

    These forums are so pitiful!  Hnev  First they neglect them for weeks, allowing trolls & spammers to utterly dominate the forums. Then they start deleting legitimate, lovely forum posts. This is such rank amateurishness by WGT.com that it stinks all the way to heaven. I do hope WGTalex enjoyed her 2 weeks of vacation; she definitely deserved them. But the way these forums are neglected and mismanaged (non-managed, rather) is an outrage.

    Because I don't often get complimented by ladies in short skirts, I made sure to make an offsite backup of SweetiePie's compliment to me earlier today in this thread. Here it is, restored from the backup. What an outrage to delete those posts from the forum!!!  Hnev  You owe us an apology.

    SweetiePie:
    And there I was, trying to imagine a world with no hypothetical situations and I got really hungry. Because of the hour, I had to work with what was on hand. Presto! Pineapple upsidedown bean spam lasagna. After applying all my charms and talents to improve the dish, it ended up tasting as it should. Tibbets, Faterson, Snaike, sans nipples.

    Faterson:
    I wish I understood that last culinary post! Was it composed in the Victorian dialect? Nechápem

    SweetiePie:
    What it was supposed to reflect, Mr. Faterson, is my respect and love for who you are and the way you express yourself. I wish I could likewise provide sage comments as well as you do.

    Yea, I thought I posted what I did above this morning. Don't know why they would delete some posts from this thread.

    Edito: Thanks for the cheap shot :)

    They delete posts and threads at random after cursorily glancing at them. WGT has no one to take care of these forums. Nivlac has offered himself as a moderator free of charge, and he would be an eminently capable one. Instead of accepting that offer, WGT in fact deleted the whole thread where the offer appeared, without reading it!

    But, when we were pestered by septuagenarian lunatics for days on end, screaming caps-lock abuse and profanities left and right at everyone else, WGT were deaf and blind & let this continue for many days, poisoning the atmosphere in these forums. And they leave clear-cut abuse of the forums untouched in the forums for weeks, even after you report it via the Report Abuse link (and there's no feedback to that report, either).

    It's all so pitifully amateurish it makes you want to scream.  SebatrestSebatrestSebatrestBolesť

    Hey Faterson, has the WGT staff ever said why they don't have moderators? Or have they ever mentioned about getting some in the future?

    Seems as though the bigger this site gets, the bigger the forums and the more spam and negative posts. I didn't like SweetiePie's posts and I know mine are bad, but they at least put forth some thought. Granted it was very little thought on my part.

    Nope, the issue of there being no forum moderators is simply ignored, as if everything was OK, although running unmoderated forums for such a huge site is suicidal.

    (The Tiger Woods Online forum is even buggier than this one, and the TWO game itself is unplayable for me, but TWO do at least have a team of dedicated moderators in their forums.)

    As to the subject of the OP ... i think it's happened twice more this week ... or at least i suspect it has as i noticed that two players who previously had not posted any notable low scores (that i recall having seen since May 2nd) recently made master level and consequently (accidently?) shot low scores in the pro tier weekly and monthly afterwards ... could it happen using pro equipment ? .... yes, of course ... did it happen? .... well, we may never know unless they "fess up" ... in the meantime the rest of our best efforts continue to move back down the leaderboard ...
