SBR Best Bet thread Thursday September 24, 2009

I didn't know whether it was a winning or losing bet when I posted. I could have been penalizing him out of a losing bet.

good luck moving forward getting guys to grade this thread.

Bullshit. No one ever wants to grade these threads. Why? There's no incentive. That's why I've been grading on most nights of the week. Hardly anyone wants to do it. SBR doesn't reward people for doing work on these threads. I don't get paid by SBR for countless hours spent grading.

shhh, I'm not starting a war and I have no issues with you. You're a good guy! Good Luck!

You accused him of acting like a child. That's not the way to behave towards people who are trying to help. Instead of showing gratitude for the time volunteering to grade this stuff, you attack the people grading for trying to enforce a rule.

[Shortstop]

I attacked you. The only reason shhh made jmathes' winning pick void is because you told him to. That's bush league and you know it. Why didn't you point out the fact that Sexy didn't post odds? If you're going to be a watchdog like that, at least be a consistent one like I said before. You better bump your grading thread again and see if there are any takers.

[yisman]

I don't catch everything. I point out when I catch someone. I miss a lot of times when the rules aren't followed, I'm sure. If you want to make sure it's consistent, point those out and they can be taken care of as well. The rules are there for a reason. Since it didn't register the first few times I said it, I'll point out that I did not write the rules. I am not enforcing my own rules. If I was running something like this, I would do it vastly differently. If you want rules changed, there are ways to go about it instead of attacking the graders.

I attacked you.

...and you attacked him. It's right there black on white.

And no, I'm not bumping the grading thread. I don't particularly care. I don't derive any benefit from the best bets thread. The thread is for SBR as a whole. If you think you're getting back at me by refusing to grade threads, you're sorely mistaken.

The best bets thread is not my responsibility. I was doing my part to help keep it going after it died earlier this year.

[Shortstop]

I have no reason to get back at you. I couldn't care less if this thread dies tomorrow. I'm simply making the point that I will not be grading in the future. It's not worth my time and the aggravation. Graders are dropping like flies and I don't blame them.

I agree. Grading is not worth the aggravation. Only you're the one doing the aggravating, and you haven't been getting aggravation for grading, on the forum at least. I can't speak for whether people in real life give you trouble for grading.
