We've always had a good crew that worked together but the bashing has shown a big increase of late. Starts small with just a couple of guys taking part and then others see it so they join in. Please save it for the Rubber Room or the Outhouse. We will even copy a thread and send it down there so you can make your point. However the snide remarks and insults at guys that are losing we can do without. Thanks.
Honestly it shouldn't be allowed anywhere. The RR did turn into a respectful place but then these stupid flame wars started.
The Outhouse was created for threads to be moved there but that place is turning into a nice capping center.
You can still move the threads there but if anything most of these bashing threads should be totally deleted as they serve no purpose other then hits.
This is the RX though so hits will probably prevail over quality like it always has.

EGD - I had no say in it at the time but the Rubber Room was set up to be just that, an anything goes forum. That was Peep's brainchild and I see no reason to do away with it. The idea is you know what to expect down there so if it offends you than stay away. Also it is used as a tool for the mods to clean up the rest of the forum, send it down there to keep the garbage out of the pick forums. Actually all of it isn't garbage but we try and keep the picks forums as clean as we can. Up here flaming and bashing is not something that people want to see and they should not be expected to weed through it.
Personally I am okay with it down there, I sort of like a few foodfights from time to time. LOL. Others like you may not like it all and that is understandable as well. None of us are the same....

I know what the RR was orginally created for but then the Outhouse was created & it was agreed upon that the dumbest threads would go there hence its subtitle. Why should all the ridiculous threads be put in the RR anyway?
I'll even defend the OH & say why are these types of threads allowed anyway? The RX is supposedly supposed to be a sports gambling forum yet it turns into some juvenile detention center daily with the ridiculous threads getting tons of hits while threads by solid cappers are barely even noticed.
This nonsense is the exact reason why alot of respected posters over the last couple of years have drastically cut down their time here or have cut the rx out completely.
The RX then wants to know what can be done to keep people happy especially long time posters who are the backbone of the site but in the end the stupidity wins out because it equals traffic. So the real backbone of this site gets slapped some more.
I have nothing against you Pat, I'm just sharing an unbiased overall opinion. Wait till football season comes around, then this place will really turn into a zoo.

EGD - I respect your opinion but it's just not feasible to have everyone here saying yes and no sir to each other all the time. We have listed over 12,000 posters here (though that many don't post) and each one of them will have their own vision of what this place should be. To me the fighting and all is just part of coming to the forum. We have people here betting money, we have pride, we have personalities and more importantly we have ego's. Trust me there will be some flaming, just the way it is. In fact you have been involved in some of these wars haven't you, if not I KNOW I have. Things just happen on the internet and people get caught up in it once in a while, doesn't make anyone a bad person. Anyway the point is there will be a dedicated effort to keeping them to certain areas of the site. Stay clear of those areas if you are offended by that and help us keep the common areas clean like you want them. I've known you from here a while but if you're suggesting to make the RR/Outhouse flame free I don't think that will ever happen. Sometimes it does get too silly for my tastes but I know what I am in for if I go down there. Up here we will try our hardest to stay away from it. Good luck t his 2nd half of the year, let's make some money.
