    Disciplining unruly posters
    With football fast approaching I was just wondering how we could deal with the loosest of cannons that are bound to show up.

    I like the idea of requiring posters that simply must be disciplined be required to go to the EOG and make 10 posts. Been there lately? Very painful. If they are really psycho and need a padded forum send them to Bettorsworld for a week.

    I sent the suggestion to Bill. When I didn’t hear back I asked again. He somewhat rudely dismissed the idea and stated he was too busy to “humor me” with this idea.

    Next time a PatrickBateman-type shows up and causes trouble, send him off for rehab. What do you think??? Will it work? Any other creative measures?

      Make them join Covers forum, suggest they open an account with Covers number 1 sponsor Logans and then let him back when Covers ban him for complaining about Logans even though they know they are crooked.

        no poster gets to me

        I am too busy to be worried about HS shit

        Let's posters police themselves

        I am more worried about paying settle figures than a poster calling me a dick, ECT

            make them go 1-on-1 with Dacbietviet. Of course, CW rules apply...... if he loses he can stiff u and can try again with another name. If Dac wins...... oh who am I kidding he never does.

              Many posters try to make me lose my head, I am worried about my card rather than a nit wit who envy's me.

                Personally Id ban them from the BTP contest after the 1st warning (infraction), thats all their coming here for anyways. Put it in the rules where we sign up, then there will be no excuses, JMO.

                later

                    Put them on ignore or ban them. Don't create a circus type atmosphere around them, as you would with your EOG idea.

                        Make them watch the infamous JJ Gold 2.4 pop cock video.

                        That will straighten anyone out in a hurry.

                          I wish there was more factual handicapping on this forum. Don't get me wrong this place is great for entertainment, but the actual amount of good cappers/posters on here that win money consistantly is down.

                          There are guys here who you should follow, but they are few and far between.

                              They don't bother me. If a poster bothers you there might be other issues you are having.

                                Make them do push ups or pull ups to strenghten their core. Get some exercise too.

                                                Yea by unruly I mean guys that try to ruin the forum for the majority. They really dont bother me either. But they can drive off good posters so no choice but to deal with them.

                                                Lot of funny ideas! Love the one about making them watch the JJ Gold 2.4 inch video over and over. That would be torture! Reserve that for hardcore cases.

                                                I love football season, but going to miss how cool this forum has been in the non-football season.

Extreme cases can be banned.

                                                      Sounds like an interesting idea, I think the Private Zone is sort of like being told to go into your room, with your TV, computer, and other furnishings there. Pretty funny discussion brewing down there and adult topics to boot.

                                                        Exactly, not only would it keep trouble off the rest of the forum, it would add to an "anything goes" board. Maybe "anything goes" is a stretch. There are limits.

                                                          There are guys here who you should follow, but they are few and far between.

                                                          The good handicappers are too busy handicapping and winning money to bother posting their picks. Also, they don't need the publicity to feel good. Once you've spent enough years betting and have learned to win consistently, recognition from others isn't exciting anymore. A professional would rather keep a low profile and live their life since handicapping takes up a lot of their time

                                                            Also handicappers who want to be respected are somewhat expected to give a write-up with their picks. That takes time. It's work. Most who go that extra mile are wannabe touts (scumbags).
