These trolls (from your competition) are making a MOCKERY of your infraction system and you think you are doing a good job....
Congrats SBR....You failed to protect your paying (pros)/positively contributing customers and let this thread be trolled to its death.
Quit slapping wrists, and moderate this thread with some authority.
Sarcastically dancing on gg's grave when he looses is a personal attack. Moderate it as such.
WTF kind of business model lets your customers get thrashed by your competition. Either your "infraction" policies are pathetic or the mods are. Which is it?

When someone violates an SBR posting guideline, they're dealt with. In a perfect world everyone would be singing Kumbaya in here and holding hands. That's not going to happen here, nor will it happen at any forum. Regardless of the fact that some of these posters are obviously so bored with their lives that they've decided to jump forums (and in some cases create multiple accounts) to troll this thread, the second you or anyone else engages with them - including GG many, many, many times - they cease to be a troll. You want them gone? Put them on ignore and let them post their nonsense to thin air. Trust me - that'll do the job quite quickly.Comment -

Then moderate it as such.....Sarcastic bashing on someones losses consistently STILL equals a personal attack Shari.
You of all mods....I thought would understand this.
Do you job from the get go....respond to reported posts, take notice of your most viewed baseball thread, and this issue doesn't present.
Does GG go looking for trouble? Nope.

#11100My post was directly correlated with how you have handled the cappersmall onslaught of trolls. 3 maybe 4 new trolls from your competition. Who have made a MOCKERY of your infraction system. Then moderate it as such.....Sarcastic bashing on someones losses consistently STILL equals a personal attack Shari. You of all mods....I thought would understand this. If it didn't take you mods half a season to try to get a handle on this thread it would never get to this point.....The man resorted to defending himself. Do you job from the get go....respond to reported posts, take notice of your most viewed baseball thread, and this issue doesn't present. Does GG go looking for trouble? Nope. Agreed....Just seems extremly poorly handled in this thread. Protect your customers....not Cappersmall.... You LET them own SBR. Or.....You can just get rid of said trolls....Comment -

#11102Let's cut out all the bullshit. Just read this.
Disagree 100%. You should revisit your 'system' frankly. Based on what I've seen during my time here, it penalizes the large number of quality cappers who's insights are valued, and completely ignores deconstructive thread crappers. I understand that the idea of quality cappers who leverage the site to profit is a tough code to crack, but the collective inability of the moderator team to focus on the right stuff is resulting in dozen of cappers either leaving or getting banned. You guys need to understand that times are changing, that the Twitter train has left the station, and you really need to find a business model/solution that adapts. The SBR point system won't be your differentiator forever...Quote:[COLOR=#000000 !important] Originally Posted by Double Bogey

No one cursed out the mods i was cursing out of frustration and it wasnt directed at anyone. No offense illusion but i dont think you get it. Look back at all of these pages of these idiots coming in here and harassing the sh!t out of this thread making it so horrible that people dont even want to come in here anymore and discuss baseball with GG. When was the last time anyone said anything constructive in this thread??????? Out of nowhere you have these 4-5 people coming over from crappersmall harassing the users that have been here for a while for no reason and they do nothing but harass this thread, that is their only motive. They have made multiple names and do nothing but bother people. Im sure this is frustrating for GG who is giving his picks out for free trying to make money and make other people money for free, which could be throwing him off and messing him up and having him not be confident in his picks and cause him to second guess them and in turn give out losers. It is a free world and not a private forum but the fact is that GG has asked these 4-5 people to please not post in his thread and that should be enough, its like fcukin romper room in this damn thread its ridiculous. Isnt the age limit 18 to gamble?? There is no fcukin way that these little morons are 18 or over judging by the way they conduct themselves ...

The market will speak (eventually). I much prefer to instantly receive posters plays (and the plays only) directly to my phone with an alert through twitter, or directly on someones website, or directly via email, than having to sit on the computer for an hour wading through hundreds of stagnant pages of abuse, or abuse inciting, waste of my time crap.
If you prefer a forum based approach Shari, there are plently of other places I'm sure you know. Right now, I am also viewing threads on Covers MLB Forum (as a direct comparison), and there seems to be a strange absence of hate-filled-trolling there...
You say there is no point arguing with the trolls; that the best way to deal with them is to ignore them, until they shrivel and die from lack of attention. So it seems that the only way to stimulate change in the fatally flawed system that allows them to exist, is to ignore SBR and stay away until it shrivels and begins to die?

#11109You must've misunderstood what I've said repeatedly so I'll try one more time. A troll ceases to be a troll when you or any other poster constantly argues with them. By doing this, you're feeding into the very thing you claim to not enjoy. If you guys could've just sat on your fingers for a day or two and let the process play out, they would've been gone long ago. Instead we come in here and find Poster Troll and Poster You (for example) arguing. We can't give you an infraction for every post within an argument. So you'd get one and the the troll would get one. However if you had just chosen to not engage in that argument and we came in to see the troll posting essentially to themselves or to their fellow trolls, that's either a 1pt infraction for trolling or a 3pt infraction (restricted from the forum) for trolling if he/she were power posting (essentially spamming) in this thread without response. It's really that simple. No one's saying that the problem will eventually "shrivel up and die". But you guys could keep complaining about the system or just honestly listen to what I've said in here many many times and your problems would be solved quite quickly. It seems though that for whatever reason people either enjoy engaging with these posters or can't help themselves. Regardless that's not helping the situation at all if you truly want it to go away.

15 units on the three worst teams in baseball????
Not only that, they were playing the Giants, Rangers, and upstart Pittsburgh. All of those teams are in first place.
Seattle has scored 1 run in three games. Why would you take them against Texas who has won 11 straight???? Seattle wasn't starting Pineda or Felix either.
San Diego wasn't a bad play but I wouldn't put that much money on the second worst lineup in baseball when they are going up the defending champs who have the best pitching in baseball.
As for Houston, they have the worst record in MLB. Nuff said.
GG needs to take a break. If you know July and August are your worst months, why would you start dropping 15 unit bombs on crap teams? Likewise, if you say you don't like the days game, why would you proceed to bet the entire card?
Take a few days off and come back fresh.Comment -

#11111So Shari, I want to just make sure I have this completely straight. Your response to our ask for better thread moderation is to ignore trolls?
Will you ever understand that certain people in this thread (and others) simply live their lives to antagonize others. When people respond to trolls, they're not debating them, they're responding to their PERSONAL ATTACKS!! No action from you basically means that trolls can throw the 'first punch' over and over from thread to thread. And as long as someone attacks a troll back - its okay because its considered debate?
So basically, when certain people are complete antagonists in threads that get huge hits for you, your way of supporting the capper & and your long-term longevity is to politely ask people to self-police the thread for you.
I'd offer -10,000 that you guys lose to Twitter at end of day. Word of mouth is an increasingly powerful thing.

In simple terms, if you attack back, both people receive infractions. For example, a kid starts throwing rocks at another. He's clearly in the wrong. Now the kid who has the rocks thrown at him starts throwing rocks back. He's also clearly wrong at this point also.
The sbr system has the ignore function for a reason. If you don't like what someone is posting, report the post and then put them on ignore. It takes a minute to do and problem will be solved if everyone does that. You just look retarded having a hissy fit about this.
And btw, sbr will not be shut down if GG stops posting. The notion that sbr will "lose" to twitter is ridiculous. They are not in competetion. If you are really this thin skinned, go to twitter. You won't be missed.Comment -

#11123The pirates got very lucky (I'm huge pirate fan since the 70's when willie played for them)..pirates pitcher hits a double scores 2 runs, astros make insane errors at horrible times..etc..so astros could have won that game..
The pads game was closer to a coin flip and could have gone either way...The only bad game of the 3 was seattle.
GG was up 440+ units playing his style...no one was complaining, whining or moaning on the way up.

#11125The thing about capping is that if you pick them obvious wins that most people would agree with your picks, you are still a mediocre capper.
However, if you got balls to drop a wad of cash on the worst team, underdog and they happens to win like Houston 20* a few games ago and it won, like you're a superstar.
GG is that superstar. Think outside the box makes people a superstar but then again, if you play such style, you do need a bigger bankroll and your ratios of picking upsets are about 70% with picking upsets will make people recognize you.
Anyone know anything about forum website politics? We are all a number to the head honcho in charge. Trolling or not, it builds drama and drama brings traffic to a site. Then again, too much drama will drive them customers elsewhere.
I don't care about drama. All I care about is catching the next person who is on a hot run.Comment -

But isn't that part of what makes the Astros the worst in baseball? They gave up 7 runs
But is it smart to risk so much on such bad teams? I'd normally understand a losing streak but betting so big on the worst of the worst, isn't that a recipe for disaster?
