no more bashing and personal attacks

[ctownguy]

i haven't had time for this but will this afternoon.

we lost a few good friends because of the personal attacks, bashing and name calling. i've been reading nothing but that crap every morning when i get up. it does get old. it's depressing especially when you're losing money so the fighting and personal attacks get worse.

i really need your guys help with this. that's all i ask. get my back for a change

i'd like the newbies to feel welcome too instead of getting bashed. we were all newbies at one time and there's gold in there somewhere. maybe your future GF or wife or best friend. never know.

thanks

Always got your back, buddy:00hour

I can't even bust Agent's balls about his golf game... what is the world coming to... lol

But Jack, I was told every time there is a bash, an Angel gets her wings wings...

I hate to be a biatch, but this whole anti-bashing thing is a little over the top. For instance, tonight someone got banned for a day in the NFL forum for talking shit, when it was the other guy who started the direct shit-talking, and then that other guy doesn't get banned. I guess since he's a personal friend of Jacks he gets a bye on the bash?

And all these threads get locked in the NFL forum, so what now people can't even disagree and say they don't like such and such a team or the way they are playing?

There are a lot of forums on the net where people say WAY worse things to one another. People get in fights and are still friends afterwards - it even happens in real life! I've been called some names on here by some people, but I got over it quick. How is this really going to be controlled, and with what kind of fairness? I guess next time beantownjim makes a post he will automatically be banned?

It just seems like this is now some kind of communistic forum where everyone has to kiss each others asses and you can't be contrary...and that will get really boring really fast.

Sorry Jack, I love the site and don't mean to undermine your business and rules. But since when did this group of people (mostly grown men) get so sensitive? I guess the people issuing complaints to you must have some real pull around here.

i dont know what you're even talking about because i didnt even get home until 30 minutes ago and the forum has ALWAYS BEEN NON BASHING, ESPECIALLY THE HANDICAPPING FORUMS.

 

[MadJack]

i guess i'll catch up tomorrow because i'm too tired now but what i briefly saw was a bunch of personal attacks in "THE HANDICAPPING FORUMS".

that chit should have been discussed in the general forum or the fans forum and without the personal attacks.

why do people have to constantly attack and threaten each other in here? i won't have it in my home and i'm not having it in here either. sorry.

THE FRUITCUP POPULATION HERE IS MULTIPLYING :com: ......... kurby

 

[lewehands]

Dissagreements, arguements, occasional ball breaking, opinions, some goodnatured name calling, jokes are fine..... but when almost every thread one looks into has people cursing one another, accusing one another of lude sexual acts, and demeaning each other it gets old. We are all smart enough to know what is acceptable.
Just dont take offense to what Jack is saying and give it a try.
You bunch of whining piece of "just kidding" :SIB

I still don't know what this means. Ask agent how that works. I'm just trying to stop the personal attacks here because it's gotten out of hand. I wasn't present during any bannings yesterday so the 'personal friend' comment doesn't apply this time.

And all these threads get locked in the NFL forum, so what now people can't even disagree and say they don't like such and such a team or the way they are playing?

I guess admin decided the easiest way to stop the fighting was to end the thread. I would have moved it to general but there is no right or wrong, he was trying to stop a bar room brawl in the handicapping forum.

How is this really going to be controlled, and with what kind of fairness?

I don't know. I'm doing the best I can. This should not be a place to come and fight, it should be a place to discuss sportsbetting.

Maybe I should close the general forum and get back to sports betting exclusively. I have seriously considered that.

It just seems like this is now some kind of communistic forum where everyone has to kiss each others asses and you can't be contrary...and that will get really boring really fast.

So without fighting and personal attacks it's boring to you?

"communistic forum" :142smilie

I guess the people issuing complaints to you must have some real pull around here.

No, they left because of the fighting and personal attacks.

I'm just trying to get this place back to what it was.

But the real question is, who does CTown Ass Clown like? That is the cincher

who are you and who exactly are you threatening? don't ever speak for US Americans - you are one American with one very skewed line of reasoning...someone will get hurt? we have respect? are you a part of the circus? I mean cmon - sledge hammer. Someone ban this moron or move this thread ...this is supposed to be a handicapping forum....lol

MrChristo UR the most ignorant SOB I have ever met

you ass

You asshole Patriot fans are the biggest hippocrits around

Wonder if that happens to Kneifl? I doubt it since he had to add a shit play just to bump his thread this morning.

Nothing like some stupid hillbilly from Alabama trying to handicap hockey.

that was a good one

[MadJack]

I think I'm caught up now

Friday - caesars
Saturday and Sunday - golf
Monday - caesars

I'm back to work.

I do agree that those topics should still be open for discussion so I moved them to general.

Great topic actually but I can't have the personal attacks.

 

[ripken8]

love to kid around here. I don't bash. that's just me. I find it entertaining most of the time but it gets old quick sometimes. it is what it is and you deal with it then move on. the only problem I had with this whole thing, jack, was when you said "Maybe I should close the general forum and get back to sports betting exclusively. I have seriously considered that." man, that hurt...

 

[MadJack]

i know most of it's kidding around but some can't read it that way and take it personal.

agent mentioned before about the "gray area" of determining who to ban. yup, that's a tricky one that i will take the responsibility for.

it's hard on me.

member A hates member B. they always fight. I happen to like member A AND member B and have met both. they haven't met.

A's gonna leave if I don't ban B and B's gonna leave if I don't ban A. WTF?

what a mess for me, huh? I can't win.

so, i don't ban either one and they keep fighting each other on the forum. 50% of the people take A's side and 50% take B's side. not I have 30 people fighting and bashing each other.

it even snowballs from there until one day i woke up and that's all the forum has become. a bash fest.

I have to get control back and i need help from my friends here.

thanks

 

[ripken8]

I understand what you're saying. how sad is it that it comes down to that? A-B B-A (although I've never liked that B guy) with all that's going on in the world, this just shouldn't quite measure up. sometimes I wonder where our priorities are? personally, there are just too many things going on to make this that important. I think if everyone took that approach life would be much simpler. I know on this site it would. I'm just sayin...

get a 3rd party as a mediator to decide who to ban? I recommend LUCY
just a thought

Sorry Jack - I didn't mean to stress you out even more than you already are about all this. Good luck maintaining the peace :SIB
