SBR Airhead - people who constantly post things with terrible opinions
SBR Dart-thrower - people who think they are Nostradamus because they hit 1 out of 100 on their ridiculous predictions
SBR Definitely-not-a-liar - people who their first post is a story about how they were 'scammed' by a sportsbook who is claiming they did something that they didn't do (but they actually did do it)
SBR Burner - for burner accounts for people who work for the sportsbooks

I'm sure I can think of a few more but that's good for now. Good luck implementing these!

Agreed. Also add a 'SBR High Roller' for players who are proven to bet more than most? biggie12 and that crazy guy who just lost 100k on Tiafoe, among others, come to mind

Not sure we really should encourage more posters to bet like Dougie. Got to root for the guy, but no one should be gambling with their entire net worth as a bankroll in play.

The only time I ever heard anybody from SBR use that phrase was from Corbin.

He just made shit up to see if it would catch on.

"Hall of Famer". I'm humbled.

[wquine]

Like most. Looks as if there somewhat stepped by an algo right now but would be funny if a bad capper would be called a Fader or something live that.

10000 +: SBR LEGEND

I would agree with this although "SBR Legend" should be reserved for those who have been here for minimum 10 years. I know of several longtime members here, that don't have 10k posts, that would be on the Legend list well before many that have 10k posts. To me years mean more than just strictly posts as I have seen the content of several posters over the years and it doesn't add up to SBR Legend.


But I am with BigO on one thing. SBR needs to weed out the leeches. You want to up posting, just make a real size posting requirement on the big contests. If SBR put a 200 post per year minimum requirement on the top contests it would up posting, as well as disqualify all the cheating accounts or potential freeloaders winning any money. If you want to win anything add to the site or get the fuk out.

Agree with the first line. Also there is probably 10 readers for every poster. Some people just aren't into posting opinions in public. Those regular users are also valuable to the forum. So it should not be only about post numbers.

But the problem with the second idea is that will increase the number of useless fluff posts, which in turn will deter the actual useful posters from reading/posting as much, and will lead to a long term downward spiral I think.

I'm not a fan in general of SBR relying on lots of daily contests to attract new users and keep regs active. I'd prefer 4 or 5 major longer contests per year if it were up to me. I think that would attract more serious bettors to join than small contests too as well.

Well you lost a bunch of great posters mainly because of points being taken from them, from years of contribution to this forum, and the fact that all these so called posters that never post that end up somehow winning contest money. What is the point of contributing? Right now most of the good handicappers don't even post because of this fact so fail to see your logic. Pandering to lurkers and people who can qualify for all the free stuff does not exactly make any of us regulars care to share anymore is my point. You are worried about fluff posting, look at the board on the weekend and who is posting plays. That is already a problem.

True. Some guys rarely post but when they do it matters. Aligned with you.
