Thanks SBR for listening to posters. This is why SBR is the best.

Puts those whom did not go crazy first week at an extreme disadvantage for cumulative points but oh well

SBR is operated by masterminds.

SBRpoints is our currency here and throughout the SBR network. You will be able to bet and win points at SBRpicks.com, You can give posters credit for a funny post or answering your capping/sportsbook question.

As of today you may earn a maximum of 15 SBR points per day by making 50 posts. Points awarded for posting will now be visible for that day on the following morning. 50 posts earn that same amount of points as 500 posts in a given day.

Very soon you will be able to nominate quality posts within threads to SBR. These threads will be recognized. Threads that reach a level of nomination will automatically get points. Users will also get points each day for logging in and making an action on the board.

You will no longer get points just for reaching a set amount of posts. Thanks to forum members for feedback and helping to improve the forum.

We will soon keep an SBRpoints FAQ at the top of the forum. Check this page for any changes in the way points are awarded.

The SBR store will be open next weekend.

Thank you for the reality check , and for taking into consideration our feedback.

Good job SBR

Worst idea ever.

(awesome move)

Once the changes are complete a poster will be rewarded(given points) for visiting the SBR forum and making at least 1 post or pick, contest, blog entry, ect. SBR has fantastic members. We want to encourage participation not mindless power posting.

I like this much better. Kind of thought SBR would have a limit of points per day based just on # of posts. Like the idea of possibly getting points for a quality thread so SBR should have more quality posts in the future and less garbage posts.

yisman · 08-17-09, 02:42 PM

Now retroactively apply those rules to TPowell, and confiscate all of his points but 75. Seems fair.

or make all accounts have 100 points and start from there the new rules.

Bill Dozer · 08-17-09, 03:10 PM

TP's points won't effect anyone, unless he helped bury your post.

MonkeyF0cker · 08-17-09, 03:27 PM

Thanks Bill. Much better.

Mudcat · 08-17-09, 03:31 PM

Can posters be given more than 15 points a day by fellow posters? That would lead to obvious ghost/scamming strategies.

I realize it is a completely pathetic idea to even think of but what can I say? I was here for the Reputation Points fiasco.

MexicanStallion · 08-17-09, 03:32 PM

Thank you Bill. I think this will make a majority of posters here happy with the point system now.

fsugolf · 08-17-09, 03:36 PM

weeeeeeeeeeeee

My coin is gone on my posts......so is it 15 pts MAXIMUM per day one can earn?

fsugolf · 08-17-09, 04:20 PM

you never had a coin on your own posts FH, you can't give yourself points

Yeah I agree. The content posters get screwed by the mass bs posting bonanza that took place here past few days... but nice and fair now. Nice job!

rake922 · 08-17-09, 07:03 PM

In terms of wagering, Maybe we could have something like matchbook where people put offers up and other can accept the alternate side.

pdx107 · 08-17-09, 07:07 PM

i very much like this idea

lakerboy · 08-17-09, 07:24 PM

Poker_Beast · 08-17-09, 09:22 PM

Much better, thanks.

FreeFall · 08-17-09, 09:24 PM

are members going to be rewarded for past performance?

Shortstop · 08-17-09, 09:26 PM

These new rules will make posters more selfish and protective of their points. Points are much more valuable now.
