Let me take these one at a time
As far as I know they do not - Moonlight Graham was a common knowledge user name that was created back in the old regime for the very purpose stated. It was never meant to be nasty or out of line. Several people have used it over the years.
If he is he is not on my budget for moderators or contest helpers (for example Jack of Hearts has been paid out of my budget to help with contests in the past - btw Journeyman is making less than half of what he is claiming at EOG.)
The IP for Ace Ace has absolutely no matches whatsoever. Does he have personal friends who might post in his threads as legitimate in their own right posters, that is possible. Just like WC Bias might have a friend of his from wherever he lives also post.
The only paid posters that I ever actually knew about has left the site for personal reasons and he was a terrific poster who did not post picks but posted sports information and has some of the most popular and longest threads in the history of this forum. He was making litterally peanuts to be more of a writer than a paid poster.
The Roxygurl thread is over two years old and was a idea by me to see if I could get her to actually speak on the phone and proove once and for all if she was a she. I wanted to get the appoval of the Board Room members first. My plan was to offer her a job if see if she would come forward and talk to me - she never did. I would have kept my word because back then I had some extra budget money to use for a paid poster. Instead I got RobFunk a raise.
[QUOTE I also thought this post by Moonlight was superior

That is a typical example of using a mod ghost to bump an important thread - notice Ego74's post a little further down:
"I can back up what Wil has said about the Moonlight Graham ghost (as other people who run forums can attest). When a thread gets "lost in the shuffle" (especially here where there is A TON of threads), it is VERY COMMON for a Mod to use a ghost to bump a thread so posters don't miss out on a contest, or something else that the forum wants people to know about".
The entire Moonlight Graham persona is benign and had no real effect on anything except to bump a post or call out a ghost on rare occasions. One time he exposed Budworth over the dead son issue.
Another time ghost Black Magic was called out who is notoriious scammer David1 from the Royal wars of a few years ago.
Hope that explains a little how things work.
wil.

The Moonlight Graham thing looks as harmless as can be. If I had a message board, I would have a ton of ghosts, especially if traffic was slow to stimulate conversation, etc. Thats how boards get started. You dont run off and rat out every coworker on the planet you've ever had, post confident conversations in a public forum, and then point the finger at someone for having a few ghosts on their own message board and act self-righteous.
As long as I dont have to pay to use this message board, you mods do whatever the hell you have to do to keep business going and give us a place to interact. If that means a few sheep need to lose their money, so be it, because they were going to lose it one way or another. The gambling community is no place for sheep to hang out, and they were gonna learn the hard way at some point. If you want to tail a guys football picks that can't put together a coherent sentence, then you deserve to lose your money. If you follow a guys football picks that uses a Playstation to determine who he is gonna pick, you might as well flip a coin, get punched in the nuts, and then donate your money to a crack addict - if you arent one already.
Mods having ghosts is no big deal, and is hardly news.
I mean, let's not kid ourselves here. We arent on a Church Group message board. The more I am on this board, the more I am happy I never attended a bash because the more I realize the scam artists, thieves, stiffs, Oakland Raider fans, pimps and pedophiles we have in the gambling community. Having a ghost is like damn near praise-worthy. This is one of the reasons why gambling has a bad name. The people that are associated with it are running this cut-throat, dog eat dog world.
Just when you think there are a few good guys, Clip Joint gets wacked, Dubpoet's in the slammer, RoxyGurl is a he, oldmanTed is more cocky than Chad Johnson in the end zone, and Journeyman is Master Splinter.

they are NOT hiring Jman
Ken "shrink" whatever, might be a slimeball or whatever it is people call him, but he's still a sharp dude.
He's not dumb. And if they do hire him, it will be as a loner basis, where he gets paid, he starts threads, but he isnt allowed in any BR meetings or any of that kind of crap.
As Shrink said, Jman is more of a mystery now then when he initially hired him.

yeah, he may not get that gig with the "Japanese website' if they find out how big a racist he is:
BTW, This was a response he posted to Dsethi
