I don't get the commotion.
Seems easy enough, as Hache stated: "If you do not like a thread or a poster, then simply stay out of it."
Ignore.
"Sticks and stones" and all that.
You know that sign at Zoo's - Don't Feed the Animals! - well, it's the same with trolls.
Don't feed them by getting into a back and forth War of the Words with them.
Replies are heroin to them, they live for it, they feel it validates their otherwise sad existence.
Deny them replies and they go away.
And the easiest way to not reply is simple - DON'T TAKE THE BAIT - don't read their posts so you won't feel the need to reply.
(Their rants are a waste of time anyway, so there's really no need at all to even read them in the first place.)
Here's a suggestion:
If someone is launching personal attacks - suspend him and brand him.
By "brand him" I mean put something like a X's "Community Notes" on his account, something that shows up on every post he makes, alerting other posters the guy is a troll and should be ignored.
(Yes, you could ban them but many just sign back in with a new alias, creating more work for the mods as they have to ban him again and again.)
If someone calls a poster a cheater but offers no proof - same thing, brand him.
But the flip side should also be treated the same. If someone is cheating, and proof is offered (using facts, not name calling/personal attacks) then that poster should be suspended, then branded as a cheater.
Why should anyone care about records? Because based on posts and replies, it seems most visitors tail rather than handicap for themselves. When making a decision on which side to bet it helps them to know who is being honest and who isn't, who to tail, who to fade.
And adding an analysis (if you have one) to picks does help.
It's there for those that want to see them, and can be easily skipped over for those who don't care and just want picks.
My advice is - PICK YOUR OWN GAMES!
But for those without time or talent to handicap - choose wisely before you tail anyone.
Don't tail blindly just because someone says they're winning. Do your research.
And if you're not good at handicapping, it's just like anything else in life - work hard, study, learn. You will get better.

Hey I wasn't wrong. Your record was a little off, I had to check it for myself, but you did have a fantastic season. You left off stating
"No hard feelings on you posting every play I made this season then counting them publicly ..I figured someone would do a count."
Don't know why you've changed your tune.
You have the option of reposting and doing a recount if its that important that your correct about ..wait for it..my record last year..lol
Honestly..knock yourself out chump.
I'd suggest you get refocused, post a few of your own plays and spend less time worrying about whos doing what now or a year ago.
I cannot understand why certain individuals when presented FACTS they always resort to name calling. Regardless of whether I post plays or not, everyone except touts, want correct record keeping! I just wanted to check your record to see if it's legit because I was thinking of following your plays this season. I don't know why you got so offensive. I did state numerous times you still had a fantastic season, and actually defended you when you got in it with L2KA!
And since you mentioned it, here's a proper way to post pics, in order to keep an accurate record! It's not that difficult.
My picks...
I'm a career loser in the NFL! Close to a 35% winning percentage. Probably better if you go opposite. Trying a new system. Betting only fifty a game. Good luck everyone! Bears +4 Balt -1.5 Minny -3

My record was correct..so you keeping count is a waste of time..If you'd like to repost all the plays again..do it
Now you say wanted to follow my picks?..good one as you've spent a good amount of time trying to disparage my record.... now into season two of your obsession with my 22 record.
Another thing a guy who makes no picks shouldn't be offering advise on how count picks or make pics.Looking. more like a ahole with the "demo " on posting plays..lol
You need a hobbies dude...your making a fool out of yourself at this point.
4 plays straight and parlayed..no write up no comments..its the way i do it and repect those who do the same...
