Thanks for pointing out another situation where INKY has acted otherwise in accordance with the "normal forum rules" BAS applied to this thread. Thank you for your diligence and astute observational skills.
I clearly recall BAS stating in this very thread not too long ago that "Normal forum rules will apply in this thread"
Therefore for you to state you can post plays after the game is finished because this is the rubber room is in direct contradiction to BAS's explicit instruction as to what rules apply in the thread.
You cannot have your cake and eat it INKY.
It's one set of rules or another....not a mix of them both, or for you to pick and choose what YOU apply as you go along. We are following BAS guidance right? You called for BAS to come in here and set down rules. He did just that. So why don't you follow them?
So if you post plays as winners after the game is done......then you are breaking normal forum rules.
I think that is FACT too.
BAS, no disrespect intended by using your name, (and I'm not sure if i have caused offense to you by quoting your forum handle) but there was no other way to make the point.
The point being, INKY quoted that rubber room rules applied in this thread. But you clearly stated around page 45-46 of this thread that normal rx rules applied in this thread So, my question to INKY was that you had stated rubber room rules did not apply in the thread, thus why was he quoting something different i.e he can't have it both ways and pick and choose.
I know you say that you don't care what INKY posts, but the originator of the plays does care that they are being posted here when that is against his wishes - just like he doesn't want them posted on Facebook or twitter. It's nothing against the rx or anyone here. People are just amazed that after politely asking INKY to stop posting, he refuses to do it. Any decent person would respect the wishes of another.
I suppose you have your reasons for wanting Pennywise's picks showing up here...increased traffic e.t.c.
Would you not agree though that posting picks after the event is totally pointless? In terms of RX posters getting the picks, it serves no value for INKY to post them after the game is finished. I'm sure we can agree on that.....even your posters here with 6000 plus posts called him out on it. So it's not just me that sees it that way.
As for soliciting members from here to join another forum, I myself have done nothing of the sort. RX members have messaged me asking me where pennywise posts a few times now. I can't help it if people here want to converse with Pennywise himself rather than INKY. I think that's pretty understandable. Have the real thing and not a cheap imitation, you know.
Anyway, I have no problem with you BAS. I quite like the RX. I just felt a few times that an issue needed to be addressed with INKY. Sadly he is incapable of a rational and civil discussion about it and resorts often to verbal abuse and sulking to the moderators here.
Pennywise has now decided to make his picks private...his own decision...so they won't be showing up on Facebook, twitter or here anymore. Sad, but the rx has INKY in part to blame for that.
I'm still not sure what you mean when saying Rubber room rules that I posted and what Incubus posted. Not going to go through all these pages to really find out.
My point from the beginning This is the Rubber room where Almost everything goes. BUT I won't allow posters from the Other site just come in here and post crap to disrespect the RX.
* You know, the Plan that was hatched over at the other place...
That's why some were Banned from the Rubber Room
Then you have the guys that kept on using the RX PM's to grab some posters to go over.
Most of those guys have been Banned too.
The Funny part about Most of this IMHO, is that a couple of the guys from the other site are the Very guys who use to come around and cause a lot of trouble with Pennywise. and now they started a new forum style place to have him post there.
I'm also a little shocked at Pennywise himself ... I and the rest of the Mods here did Everything in our power to clear a path for him and his Threads. We Banned multiple posters who would start trouble trying to run him off of the RX.
We also talked, me and him by PM and thought everything was ok.
But instead he started with the Pennywise name was going into retirement and that he would probably come back under a different name.
It doesn't matter to us, The RX if he posts or not. did he bring Extra traffic to the RX ?? YES
But there's Not ONE person that makes our site, it's the Combo of many Many posters, over many Years
He seems to be a good guy ... I don't have a problem with him leaving to post somewhere else. We don't own our Posters, they are free to come and go as they please.. been that way for almost 20 years, and I'm sure it won't stop.
But I Do feel it's funny that some people Including PW that they don't want his plays posted.
Shit when word got out how Hot he was, EOG was posting his plays and keeping track. You Didn't see us sending people over there to tell them to Stop posting his plays .... Why would we ?? Should other not be able to Follow and make money too ??
and sure they have their wise @sses there too. You're going to find them everywhere.
So yeah I find it Stupid to ask someone to Stop posting their picks. it's ridiculous !
100's of Pro Handicappers get re-posted too
It's just some Crazy shit going on here.
As far as Incubus posting after the fact. It has no use to others that are following ( Here ) But if he's keeping records, why not ??
It's not like it's His plays and he's past posting them.
maybe he can place a note or a * next to the ones that he didn't get before the game. or Whatever
That's my 2 1/2 cents
