I drove down a local highway to get to a country route today. On the way, every 1/4 mile or so there were a ton of billboards. Visual pollution...makes one want to pluck out their eyes or drive ten miles out of their way to avoid.

That is what SBR forums have become. Visual pollution. Way to many non-pros making lock threads or talking about subjects that are akin to mental tampons. The only use of them is to soak up the blood from the aneurysms one gets from reading them.

SBR Pros help support this site more than the non pro cancers who dont pony up and cause a majority of this pollution.

Until SBR pro's get their own subforum where only they can post and reply: SBR to me will be good for two things.

1. Troll to get a laugh...picks are silly here.
2. The occasional alert on a sportsbook going bad.

Thats it....I get points whether I post or not....time to troll til then...

May wanna go see a Doctor about this problem.

How about clouds or license plates or Cows, do any of these make you feel like like causing some sort of bodily harm to yourself when you pass them while driving.


Sorry to hear you have such disdain for the non pros, i would suggest to SBR maybe an ignore switch which would actually ignore all non pros, so fellas like yourself can feel happy and safe, a segregated sub forum as you suggest would not work.

I've never understood the whole pro versus non-pro argument here. Fact is, I'm not following anyone here, regardless of status.

Anybody whose serious about gambling should be picking their own games.

Yeah, I concur

I agree somewhat.

However there are certain non-pro posters that contribute. So I'm not sure how this situation is supposed to be handled.

I've asked for an advanced ignore feature a long time ago

and it was shot down

[COYLO]

we were all non pro's at one time no???

[pavyracer]

There is too much clutter in PT right now it doesn't matter if you are a Pro or not. If they make a Pro section only I guarantee you there would be 5 Pros there who will litter that forum with nonsense. The best way to limit the clutter is to post limits on posts. Like you can start only one thread per day and you can only make 5 posts per day.

Would a great idea if they had a sub forum for Pro's only, too many BS lock picks and SBR jinx thread thinking it would improve their bet chances of winning.

[Naz18]

SBR doesn't need a pro only forum, they just need to clean up the mess and perma ban like 5 or 6 useless posters.

the ironic thing is, its mostly pros that create these reverse jinx threads
but I see no harm in creating a pro only sub forum, will probably be the cause for atleast a few non pros to apply for pro status

[Tree Rollins]

mighty moron, there is an ignore feature on sbr that allows you to ignore any poster you want. Just go through and ignore non-pro's like myself. I would be honored to be the 1st person on your ignore list.

Haha, becoming a pro doesn't magically change a person's posts. So someone who is a non-pro and making stupid posts somehow becomes accepted if he ponies up 200 bucks?

It has nothing to do with 'pro' and 'non-pro.' It's just people making threads like this that create the issue.

Couldn't have said it any better. People like the OP are the problem on this site. This site is good for entertainment purposes only. How can you take anyone seriously on this site? It's a joke.

Pros and non-pros post BS, this thread is stupid.
