    Who wants to explain the "idea" of the Saloon?
    Yep, I recently asked someone, just how do you get the power to send someone's post to the Saloon. They didn't answer.
    So, how about a volunteer who can explain to me, who has the power, and what gives them the power?
    Also, is it the thread, say on PT, a post must precisely fit a certain category...whatever that is, or...just what?
    What I have witnessed on SBR, seems it could be simply another method to show "spite and insults?"

          When the Saloon was first created, nobody liked it. It used to be that PT was where all the threads were posted unless you were hiding in the subs. It was just too busy though - you couldn't keep track on busy days and a thread you wanted to respond to could be 3 pages deep in a short time. So the Saloon was created to put non sports/gambling related threads. As you will see, hot topics like Biden V Trump and Vaccines still stay in PT if there's a ton of inane arguing, but most get moved to the appropriate sub.

          As for who gets a job as a mod - you need to apply. It's a paid position and very lucrative. Horse mod makes about 250k per year plus healthcare benefits. The spots don't open often.

                    Ah Hah! Why would anybody believe that? Funny, too, JJ has the most popular thread going on PT, yet, the ol'butt kissers never complain or suggest, sending that thread to the Saloon.

                        Saloon is a place to send dissenting opinions sort of like a political out. We all hate that chit. We don't like what you say so we're gonna do what we can to cancel you. It's not much but ppl who have orgasms over a little power do this type stuff.

                          It's where threads in the Players Talk move to get a haircut or a shot.

                            It's called the garbage dump zone of SBR. Recycling center.. Green new deal of threads.

                            Mods send them all there when they don't live up to the standards on SBR. It's the sewer of thread starts. The toilet unflushed in simple terms after taking a massive stinky dump in other words .

                              It's funny because "saloon" is just another section in the sub-forums category, members can still view/reply just like they would in PT. The ONLY difference i see is PT have more posts/threads, that's it. And we can change that by posting a lot in saloon. So...

                                  Well Jib, very fitting for who?

                                  The fabulous CULT that "seems to thrive on SBR," protected by a "Triple Standard."
                                  A Triple Standard means: Much deeper than a Double Standard.
                                  Maybe it's because I am older than most of these members and just cannot see, or interpret or figure out the logic?

                                  Here is the "standard, supposedly," for Player's Talk verses The Saloon.

                                  1. PT= The SBR Lobby: Sports Talk, Gambling and Bettors Chat* Hmm

                                  2. SLN= All topics in life from cars, fitness, relationships to recent headlines

                                  You figure it out because I still see it as my original idea of the "why."

                                  And Heston agrees with me and sees it that way, too.

                                    I think you two imagine a thread move to The Saloon is some sort of punishment. Maybe in some posters minds, but for mods it's purely based on the content, amount of interest, and amount of Players Talk traffic at the time.

                                    It's just the Public Bar adjacent to the Sports Bar, not some sleight on you persoanlly.

                                    And General, you are delusional if you think mods here only move your threads due to some liberal agenda. Like opposite day out of touch delusional! Go ahead and try to argue with Hman that he is a lefty


                                    Jake understands;

                                      A decent answer, OPT., but, the power, you suggest, seems to go right back to the SBR members? If "they" find it boring, or they resent it because of the same animosity, meaning the personal junk I have seen, knowing, I have to believe, it's right back here the idea comes from, the Hangtogethers, or the other, simply do what they suggest, ignore or complain with the "Saloon" idea.
                                      This thread was about gambling on college basketball, that fits PY. We have two college teams, both undefeated and ranking 1,2. Sounds like a nice sports talk subject to me?

                                      And a contest challenge, for "all SBR members," no discrimination coming from me.
                                      But, have we not noticed other sports contest offered?
                                      Yet--this is so laughable, just as what Heston's laugh, it still comes down to 1, 2, or 3 things and none are healthy for this "supposed," freedom of speech forum.

                                      1. ABE isn't very well liked on SBR? Not truly explained or making any sense to me as yet, but, I suggest individual members need to look for yourselves at the past year's history and give me your 100%, detailed answer?
                                      And yes, ABE will stand up to double standards and mock "cults," especially, when they dominate and express ugly replies such as what we have seen here. And the other, I call "balless stuff," ignore my posts that look for other opinions, only, because of the identity of OP. This is so too obvious, and also, it represents a very thick, unhealthy resentment.
                                      Has anyone noticed?

                                      2. The resentment comes from, I believe, naive, disrespectful type members, who were likely non-Trump fans, or, cannot stand the idea, someone is a better handicapper or maybe actually survive and even win, in this very tough sports gambling world? So they join wholeheartedly, with the side that fits their needs.

                                      3. The Mods side with the complainers, because, are they not typically found to be in the majority of all members SBR? And we can easily see, this sports web is doing great with membership totals and also, nice lucrative profits, I would imagine, too.
                                      So, again, why buck the majority and make waves that could lead to SBR becoming less secure down the road?
                                      * Actually, it's all of the above including what OPT. suggests, but, is this a forum based on rules that protect all members, even the ones that just do not fit the majorities agenda?

                                      So, the majority speaks freely, and with no restrictions or manners, well, none that I can recall, and continue on with their disinterests and sarcasm, and don't forget, the repetitive Saloon idea, too.
                                      Are they not suggesting, "we must find ways to harass this member completely off this forum, if we can?"
                                      Maybe even get ABE impeached?

                                      Okay, maybe not--yet, not even one Mod have I noticed, stepped up to volunteer an opinion, say, "This isn't what our forum truly represents, bigotry, discriminating cults, etc.?"

                                            It's dumb. Illegal industry is dying and until I see legal American banners up top, the whole concept of censorship here is only hurting said company. Chooting the own foot.
