    We Should Be Able To Vote Posters Off the Site
    We should be able to vote posters off the site. like an easy checkbox system and if you get enough votes then youre gone- either temporarily or permanently. a lot of votes- like 30 or somethin...that'd be nice.

          I think there could be an elders type of group that could have some power. It would not make sense to have a guy with 4 posts vote in something like that.

            SBR survivor!!!!!!!! Who will be voted off next?

            No, as much as I would like to, that's putting too much power in a few peoples hands. A public forum is what it is! You take the good with the bad. I made some suggestions in the cbb forum in a thread. There was a guy with 120 posts or something come in houlihans thread & started bashing his piks! WTF?? I said this guy caps small conferences like nobodys bizness WTF do you do here?

            Some kid who doesn't have a pot to piss in, but I set him on the straight & narrow, think he might end up being a decent poster. SBR needs a boot camp you must pass before being awarded points. That would cut out alot of the riff raff

                I think I've said enough about Pecos, I'm gonna shut up about it. I haven't seen that gremlin here all night & im in a better mood. It's friday night, maybe he went to the transgender bar & picked up a ladyboy

                        all I will say about this..is the profit speaks the truth..open forum..

                        but we should not allow men to post here who steal points from others

                        when will everyone concur that it is flat out the same to stealing money?

                        maybe even prosecute felons with over 500 point thefts like whatsgood in a court of law

                                  LOL there is some truth in all that. I remember reading that the guy who invented the electric chair was later convicted of murder and yep, you guessed it, he was executed in the same chair.

                                  If there was ever a vote around here it might require the voters to have like 2000 posts and at least 1 year as a member.

                                    A funny idea to think about.. but what a terrible concept to put into practice. There's already cliquish groups of folks who've been on this site for a long time with tons of posts... they could just decide to willynilly vote off anyone they didn't like. The site would fall apart pretty quickly.

                                    If you don't like someone... don't read his/her posts!

                                    I don't know if SBR has this or not... but a simpler approach is an ignore list. Add someone to your ignore list and their post just doesn't appear to you when you read the thread.

                                          It would be like survivor and posters would make packs to get rid of another poster soon most posters would be gone except for those in the pack. So would be bad ideal different personalities is what makes a forum.

                                            Hey, on a side note, why not have an SBR survivor contest?

                                            torturous tests:

                                            head to head handicapping of games (can be done by consensus in groups)
                                            making a video (and getting voted on by folks in the group)
                                            what else?

                                              1.they already have head to head handicapping contests in the sbrpicks section of sbr...oh not by concensus or groups. gangwar style...hmmm

                                              2. what cliques are 40-posters deep? none...and sbr survivor is a good idea- assholes would have to start generating some solid picks or they're gone. the same way being a good fisherman and contributing to the tribe can keep you around longer.

                                              3. putting someone on ignore doesnt make someone go away or prevent them from starting threads that spread their moronic sentiments and make the world a worse-off place

                                              4. im not really one for censorship and this is all just a joke anyway- i dont think it would ever happen and dont even think i'd want it to. different personalities amongst the people is healthy.
