Ghostbusters (Help SBR!)

Thanks Chute. To answer Crazy's question, there is no 100% silver bullet. AOL, MySpace, Yahoo, ESPN forums and even eBay...they all have the same challenges to do what's best for users. If a website wanted to they could ask users to download a GUID for their machine but that becomes intrusive. You don't want to intrude on privacy or get to the point where it's a hassle to join the community. It's a fine line. We just have to focus on improving the board and making sure posters have the room they need.

The forums that cater to specific topics will help manage themselves. The Players Talk board will always be a little wild with the wide range of topics.

My problem is that paid posters like JJ can have as many ghosts as he wants. He starts threads and talks to himself with several ghosts. That's okay with SBR.

And then someone like Pavy uses Glen Danzing as a ghost and you call him on it. Show some consistency.

Ghosts are fine with me. I enjoy hunting and busting them. Once I fugure out who the ghosts are I keep the info for myself and do not reveal their identities. I get a satisfaction knowing who the ghosts are and them not knowing that I do know.

I have one question for the owners of this site. Why do you hire paid posters?

Yeah really.. Bigtime double standards here.

What about when pavy thinks 5 people are the ghost of someone so he sends all 5 a PM asking something dumb.

he then requests a read receipt so he can see when they all check their PMs

Detective Danzig at your service

John Layfield?

**pavyracer** · 05-01-08, 07:15 PM

Since I have already said ghosts don't bother me nor I have anything against them, what is your problem Cee?

Chutebox,

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the ghosts nor does SBR need to expose them. They will all go down the gutter when this forum ceases to exist in the near future. The SBR website will become a ghost of the internet.

It's just weird to get PMs from someone you never spoke with asking about going to the bash. You just like to hunt ghosts in your spare time then?

What are you talking about? I never sent you a PM. It must be a software problem.

is "ghosts" a common internet term?

i've never heard it anywhere else. it's alias

Do you think he'd admit to it if you guessed right?

That said, I'm making my 3rd guess.....Raiders?

He's talking about the one you sent to me - or did you really just want to know if I was going to Vegas?

I think the definition of a forum ghost is someone pretending to be someone they are not in order to dupe the board.

I want to come clean and let everybody know that I am actually not at the USS Enterprise at this moment.

Nonetheless, I personally have no problem with ghosts and ghosting whatsoever. I think that whatever the poster has to say is the only thing that matters, not the handle it is posted under. The ghosts deserve pity, not punishment. The spammers should be banned, though. Banned with all the ghost accounts they have.

I think that the real issue that some posters may be unhappy with is the amount of nonsense in Players Talk. I would suggest creating one more Players-Talk-like subforum but this one must be heavily moderated for nonsense and drama. I think that way everyone will be able to get whatever he comes here for.

Another guess and this one is serious. If you actually do have a ghost, you couldn't resist double posting in a thread about ghosts. If so, I make you out to be Number 1.

It was a joke, sweetheart. I also said John Layfield in jest.

I still don't understand how did Cee got the same PM I sent only to you. It must be a software problem. The reason I asked you about the Bash in August is because I wanted to know if you are going to have your football column that weekend. I'm starting to prepare for football season and I wanted to know about that weekend.

**Kellen** · 05-01-08, 09:13 PM

SBR does a fine job of busting ghosts.

durito, I'm a professional gambler. I bet more money on preseason NFL than regular season. I actually scout the players that are about to be cut and bet accordingly. When preseason football starts I'll teach you how to bet the games.

This was at the top of the PM you sent me last night:
Recipients: BeatTheJerk, bettilimbroke999, Cee, Sportsgirl, zerocage

I thought it was a little odd your asking me about Vegas and when I PMed you back to ask why you wanted to know, you never answered me. Now that I realize that it is your genuine and sincere interest in my NFL column - well, let's just say that me and my column are simply flattered.

I asked the mods to investigate the software problem that had my PM to you also sent to four more individuals. I rarely use the feature and I'm pretty sure there is an explanation. Who's the best techie at SBR? We need some help.

**BigDaddy** · 05-02-08, 09:34 AM

payracer i agree with most you say but honestly your fighting a losing cause IMHO if you think that 10 different people log in everytime a certain posters posts an OT dumb thread to talk about it at all hours of the night or day its either

A. ghosts
B. they stay by the computer 24/7
