Mods Can We Get A VIP Section?

[BigBollocks]

Maybe for posters of 500 posts or higher along with invited knowledgeable and respectful cappers.

I don't like the new breed of posters who are matriculating over here one damned bit. A bunch of immature assholes who go in everyone's threads and heckle them, give no information, and know nothing about lasting in this game longterm. This place may be getting more traffic, but I think it's heading in the wrong direction.

[SBR Lou]

Well I think that's the whole thing. John loves traffic, and has shown he'll open the wallet to bring some more of it, I think that's already been made obvious in some of his moves, and I'm not referring to the contests (which I think are very generous of him).

I think something should definitely be considered in regard to your post, and how about integrating a better ignore feature? I made a thread in the suggestions forum about that. If you could place people like you describe on ignore and never see one post or thread they make, it'd help clean up the garbage at least on your end. Instead of seeing "this user is on your ignore list" 15 times in one thread.

I think SBR might well soon become the biggest forum on the internet, which from John and Co.'s perspective is terrific. I do think, however, that is important to remember why this traffic has come in in the first place, and that is as a result of some of the knowledgeable/helpful regulars on here. Maybe if the moderation was tightened and posters were banished exclusively to the private zone for a couple of weeks on their first offense that would work. I have no problems yucking it up with the 18-25 year olds on occasion, but I'd prefer to do it in their own shitstirring section. Cheers crazy and pokernut

[pico]

how about just add a function to thread that let you only let people with over certain number of posts can reply.

that'll solve your problem

500 posts doesn't do anything.

Some of these guys have more than that in a week.

There should be an IQ test.

[capitalist pig]

BB it wont matter, almost everyone is on the race to a 1000 posts.Id go with a join date as the deciding factor, maybe 90 or 180 days would be fair. JMO

[curious]

Yes, and can we get lap dances in the VIP section?

[rjt721]

I think it was BBD who mentioned a while back the possibility of creating an invite-only subforum dedicated to serious cappers and breaking down games, angles, etc. Certainly the specifics would have to be worked out, but I think it's an intriguing option. Something along the lines of a particular number of invites, say 10, required to enter and post, as well as one mishap or harassing post for a member resulting in banishment would seem a good idea.

Something to think about, SBR, because one thing's for sure - this forum's turning to Shit... fast.

Well then we can say goodbye to your ignorant ass.

[MBENZ]

Precicsly,post count doesn't mean shit.Unfortunatly there was a couple of good cappers that came and went just because they were linked with Mo which couldn't be further from the truth.Thats the way these forums will always be since most like to react rather than read.

[WestsidePete]

what if members paid a small monthly fee to be in the VIP area?? only serious members would be willing to pay something..

I like that idea. Then the teenagers will be gone.

[ChuteBoxe]

There would have to be some sort of bonus to joining the VIP area. Who would pay $50-$100 a year or whatever, for no reason other than having a paid version of the "private zone"? I think it needs a hook. Like, an automatic pick tracker built into the site, live up to the minute injury info, or something of that caliber.

Yes a value ...up to the minute injury reports that could be PM'd or sent to our personal email address, or a pick tracker would be great...maybe have a news letter sent out before Football, basketball, baseball, and hockey seasons start on trends and analysis from betting experts.

But that doesn't get rid of the assholes with more money than brains.

mofome had 1000 posts in like 3 days.

Curious calling someone ignorant. Ironic?

Maybe Bill and John could tell us which games they have put the fix in with the refs.

[imgv94]

They already have a VIP section. Every forum has a boardroom/Vip Section where it is unvisible to 99% of the members.

Word, now we'll see who's who and what's what. I bet you there will be a lot of "oh, yeah, um, I'd love to go to Vegas for free, but I can't because what had happened was, because, ok, um, yeah, my old lady, she was like, and, well first of all, when I had to fix some things around the house too, and, um, because, well, yeah so that's why I can't make it to Vegas, yeah."

Let it be known that I will be at the Vegas bash, and I will bring my gun with me, and anyone who sees fit to talk sh*t to my face will get CAPPED!!

And this has what to do with you since I'm not talking to you? This durito punk has done nothing but talk shit to me since I joined this forum. I am sick of it. So, he needs to put up or shut up.

Sorry, it's just I never get to be in fights with anyone ever. Even jj won't fight with me. jj barely even knows who I am, to be honest. Everyone's always like "you are not allowed to threaten people on the forums" and I'm like what? people are threatening each other? Why do I always miss the good sh*t?

Let it be known I won't be at the Vegas Bash, as I am boycotting America's new passport/fingerprint/optical scan nonsense ;-)

I'm, by no means, a old member... but these brand new members are getting very annoying, hell they litter the NCAA Basketball board with useless garbage half the time, then go off the subject and bicker back and forth about nothing

Did you see that post from that idiot who wanted people to take Citadel +400, then after they are down 32-9 he says everyone will cash that game. Huh? LOL That was too funny.
