The greatest smartass in the history of the Sports Forums, i hope you become a regular here Kosar, we got some 'cages that need to be rattled' over here at SBR.

Poker_Beast · 01-20-09, 08:56 PM

Welcome General, looking forward to some new perspectives here at SBR

BobHarvey · 01-20-09, 08:59 PM

Welcome aboard sir.

flyingillini · 01-20-09, 09:07 PM

How much for an autographed 8x10 glossy photo of all the SBR moderators? I would like to add one to my sports memorabilia room. I am available to paypal right away. Thanks

Everyone looks up to Mods, they are kind of like rock stars in our world.

The only star I watch is jjgold. And he ain't a rock star...he is a shooting star.

jjgold · 01-20-09, 09:36 PM

Through my years of posting Paver I have literally witnessed guys and gals that wanted to fuk mods. They are powerful people as far as the offshore world goes and books all afraid of them. I would of loved to be a mod and have the power to ban guys and play God with posters and their future. I would pay 5k a year to be a mod.

InTheHole · 01-20-09, 09:44 PM

Welcome Aboard!

You would pay them to be a mod at gambling online forum? Buddy you really need to get out more......that is a bit pathetic.

I would pay double whatever FlyI is offering. It would fit perfectly between my Billy Zane and Richard Nixon autographed glossys!

Hi The General.

Please use your new power and suggest that SBR create SBR backpacks as one of the prize gifts.

Sincerely,
Robyn

Thanks guys.

Welcome and congrats General. You going to bring Dirty along for the ride as well?

The General · 01-21-09, 10:09 AM

We'll see what we can do Robyn. No promises. I am the new guy starting out by making coffee, sweeping floors and cleaning the toilets.

I can be contacted at either of the 2 email addresses below, but currently having tech issues in sending mail from these addresses. I've been working on this issue since last night. If anyone needs assistance or wants to contact me via email, please use pete@sportsbookreview.com or thegeneral@sbrforum.com .

I am going to watch and learn how SBR does things with moderating before I go and make any decisions that are not along line with the company's current policies. And, the moderation aspect is definitely not about a power trip w/ me. I am quite humble and do not carry a big ego. I am no better than anyone else surrounding me. I found this quote awhile back and it is fitting to my opinion on moderating.

The key lies not in controlling the surroundings, but in being able to control your own responses to those surroundings... how you carry yourself, your composure and collectedness, how you ask and respond to questions.

I started moderating sports information boards mid 2002, originally given the opportunity by Peep at TheRx, and have learned a lot along the way. Both in moderating and about this industry of on line gambling. I hope to use that experience plus the added personal growth over time to be as good as ever in handling CS issues & disputes, understanding that 'having ever been good' is debatable among the players I have participated with since 2002.

I'll be getting with techs today to try and repair the email sending problem I am experiencing so that I can get back to anyone that may need assistance with anything including reported posts. Please allow a few days for us to iron out any problems in getting me set-up for performance and then I think the flow will be smooth among the majority of us.

For any past incidents at other places where I may have upset another poster, maybe even SBR staff, I apologize and ask for a chance with this fresh new start.

Have a great day, SBR.

Chi_archie · 01-21-09, 10:13 AM

Mr. General Sir,

just letting you know that I'm close to making it pal...

I hope your time here is well.... is there anyway you can your moderating powers give you the ability to track down Brock Landers? if so, I recommend you do that..and we can all pitch in to send him a fruit basket.

good luck here

Your pal,

Chalie

As long as you moderate jjgold and the other paid posters you only have to worry about 4-5 real posters that occasionally post. Your job will be easy here.

shooterman · 01-21-09, 12:06 PM

Good name for the job description.

Illusion · 01-21-09, 03:35 PM

Welcome aboard Pete.

ChuteBoxe · 01-21-09, 03:39 PM

Welcome to SBR General Pete.

biggamer3 · 01-22-09, 12:39 PM

Wow, just log in and i see an old face/username is a mod here!

General, glad to see u have joined the ranks, as this site was literally becoming a cesspool of shit. Hope you can fix this board.

PS your shit forum you started is officially over? gamblingiq.com or whatever

The General · 01-22-09, 03:29 PM

Thanks biggamer.

All I really wish to comment about IQ is that the full intent of the business model/practice was in good faith and the model objective was in good faith. The entire intent was in good faith. The future of IQ is TBD and to be seen. I'd rather not discuss publicly.

Here, I'll try and make SBR a better place for all members as best I can.

Blondie · 01-22-09, 03:37 PM

Hello General

Congrats on the new job

The General · 01-22-09, 03:49 PM

TY, guesswhoiam. Do I know you from past?

FTR, guys. Mail accounts pete@sportsbookreview.com , thegeneral@sbrforum.com are now ready and working properly. Occasionally you may hear from me with my generalpete hotmail addy if I am away from the trailer. Feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or comments.

Enjoy your evening and best of luck on all your wagers. I need to get a couple for myself.

Blondie · 01-22-09, 03:51 PM

Yes Pete you do. This username started as a joke with Crazyl when I first joined just never bothered to change it to the one everyone knows me as.

How is your daughter?

The General · 01-22-09, 03:56 PM

She is doing well and thanks for asking. Much appreciated. She is getting old. 1st grade already.

Blondie · 01-22-09, 07:08 PM

Wow doesn't seem like she should be that old...

SBR_John · 01-22-09, 07:26 PM

Welcome General Pete!

Its a great fit imo for the dispute resolution work alone. We have seen slower response times to disputes recently as the overall traffic grows. Its a job that not everyone can jump in and do. If I was a player and could get Bill, Justin and Pete in my corner I'd feel pretty good about getting my dispute resolved.

Maybe the General can start by taking a stand against the Fag Avatars. We need a Mod with a pair of balls.

pavyracer · 01-22-09, 09:14 PM

We need a mod with big

and vagina. We have too many balls here.
