Ok I'll ask for the hell of it but please tell me he only did this because you banned each previous name.

No way you will ever get away with using 12 ghosts in the same thread. Bragging about have having multiple ghosts only leads other posters to lose confidence in the site because they can't trust posters like yourself who think it is funny to use multiple user names. Dime Bag is history btw. and anything else I see close to possibly being a ghost created by you is going also.


To the posting body in general, the mods work hard to keep ghosts from posting whenever possible. Working with sportsbook workers who are posting from Costa Rica is difficult because many post from work where their IPs are liable to match fellow workers in the same network. I don't want to ban or post review an innocent poster because he works in the same area as a poster like NesAdvantage who has no respect for the site, so it can be tricky. However we have means to combat ghost posting and use them as much as possible.

Do not fall for the site is full of Ghosts propaganda.

I understand Cardsfan's point but unfortunately he is barking up the wrong tree right now IMHO. When the finals arrive and the actual winner is close to being crowed we shall see if the right thing is done. I certainly hope so.

Sorry Wil I thought it would be alright to make a joke in this thread I didnt realize that I had absolutely no respect for the site. Just for the record I have maybe used Dime and Nes in the same thread twice. Nes was born when my ex-boss figured out my identity and was monitoring my posting never have used a ghost to scam anybody so your statements were harsh to say the least.

P.S. You really killed DimeBag?

You don't know what kind of damage you can do to this site's credibility when you say you use 12 ghosts in the same thread. I know veteran posters know better but newer members have to be scratching their heads saying how can I believe anyone around here if this guy uses 12 different user names whenever he feels like it in a single thread.

To the posting body in general.

I catch new ghosts everyday and revoke their registrations, whenever a poster uses an old already by me ghost to manipulate the posting body by saying things like "Ya -- XYZsports is hitting 75% winners this season in baseball, give them a try" and it turns out to be XYZsports himself using a ghost both get banned. Touts like Kodiak, ChicagoHotsides, Smokey Wins and a bunch of others all got caught doing this, now they are posting elsewhere. Here at the The Rx.com we do our best to keep touts out of the sport forums. Everyone knows Ace Ace's deal so don't bring that up please.

For the record -- He posts ALL his picks here for free so we let him use the sport forums and sells them elsewhere. However, contrary to popular belief he has no ghosts, blieve what you want, but it is true.

I don't like to come down hard posters like Nes, who I think in the end mean well but this issue is a serious one, in fact it is getting more serious these days because of the rash of poster to poster stiffings going on.

Pick a user name and stick with it. You're all smart enough to have your own back in any argument and do not need 12 ghosts to have it for you.


Nes -- Yes - Dime Bag is banned, unless he is actually someone else and was letting you use his handle he will stay banned. If you are not Dime Bag have him email me and explain what is up with the two of you posting from the same IP in the sa,e thread and you claiming you are him to boot. Then we will go from there to see what can be done. In the mean time I will leave him unbanned until we find out who is who.

I have one ghost who I made one post with and it was only to post something that contained my real name. (a civil suit) and wanted peoples opinions about it, but later (3 minutes or so) changed my mind and deleted it.

Nah, screw that redneck, we are better off without him. Thanks for clearing it up, and for the record I have never had 12 posting handles and am not a tout. I never intended to hurt this sites reputation but that Texasfan guy on the other hand boy what I wouldnt do to his reputation if I could get my hands on it.

No, I decided to unban DimeBag, I might have acted a little rash in his case mainly beause this feels a bit like deja vu all over again with you and Dime.


I am gald you understand about what harm some innocent joking about ghosts can cause.


I just caught a ghost in The Baseball Forum. Got by me by being smart but one of his posts (had 3 all together) was a dead give away. Something like "Don't miss Our $50,000 guaranteed special tonight for just $25". is what did it.:drink:
