aguahombre Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Moved the thread about a GIB bidding problem from Suggestions to GIB Robot Discussion.Although the thread got cluttered by complaints on the real person's bidding, the OP clearly belonged in the "Suggestions" forum. The desciptions of bids, and the actual bidding by the Bot really need fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The desciptions of bids, and the actual bidding by the Bot really need fixing.The first-listed purpose of the GIB forum is to report GIB bugs, which certainly includes the situation(s) on that hand.

aguahombre Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Do you have any idea how flooded the "Suggestions" forum would be if this criterium was applied?I assume that is a rhetorical question, underlining a need for the BOT people to re-examine the alleged explanations of calls.

barmar Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I assume that is a rhetorical question, underlining a need for the BOT people to re-examine the alleged explanations of calls.We're fully aware that GIB doesn't approach the same quality standards as the rest of BBO. But it's a much harder problem to solve. Improving the explanations is part of our general maintenance of GIB. But we can only address them on a case by case basis, there's no general solution to the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 A bunch of post by dumpboss were dumped. I don't mind mentioning the name, since he joined bbo today, didn't play any bridge over there, and came here and posted 7 clearly spam post. Thanks to everyone (a lot of you) for reporting these, they were all deleted under an hour from the first one being posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Good job, Ben. I can only imagine how many emails you received in a very short time period. It certainly was small compared with the number of people annoyed with the posts who didn't feel it necessary to further dump on you because we knew you would be on top of it.

barmar Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 The thread "Forcing vs. semiforcing NT" had drifted to a discussion of GCC and bracketed KOs in ACBL.

inquiry Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 A Website that is not affiliated with bbo entitled bboskill.com has "stopped updating" its data, and has on its first page a plea for people who enjoyed it, to come to these forum to express their views. They "want" BBO to interact more with them (if I read their page correctly). In my opinion trying to get an interaction with BBO through asking for post on that subject here in the forum is not the correct way to negotiate such things, but what do I know? Anyway the timing of there message is screwed up, all the important BBO people are in philly and will not see these pleas. In addition, the posters are not posting in forums they routinely monitor anyway (if they were here). I have tried to consolidate the messages into a single thread, but no doubt I may have missed one and more will pop up I am sure. Also a few cross post of the same material was deleted so that only one copy (Hopefully) appears in the merged threads. i agree with several of you that some of the post are either close to spam or are spam, but many are people that for one reason or the other found this site "useful". For those who did, try this. Find the name you want to "investigate" go to http://online.bridgebase.com/myhands/index.php and enter that name with a date range of a month, and look and see what the player you were wondering about averaged. Not that I think that information is useful, but that is the same data you use to get from bboskill.com albeit on one player at a time.

I completely agree with you that the site did an immature/poor/etc. method of requesting that BBO take up its plea. That said, I think the plea is worthy; I'd like to see a rating system for BBO results, no matter where it comes from. I don't get quite the results from the search quoted that I'd like. Anyway, I've advocated (more than) enough for one day. (I did find the site useful, but will refrain from talking about it any more and let the eminent wisdom of the important BBO people take over.)
