Can the RX create a new forum...

X-Files · Oct 14, 2019

Can theRX create a new forum...where a person can post picks and/or comments without anyone else being allowed to post in their thread, and without the rules of the tracking forum: http://www.therxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=141? This way:

1. a person would not have to put up with all the - steaming shit - that occurs in their own threads and

2. people looking for that person's picks and/or remarks would not have to wade through tons of - bovine excrement - to find it and

3. trillions of good posters that left theRX may not have left and some may even return.

It already exists, it's called "Covers"

Picks and record tracker forum?

What's the problem with the rules in the Tracker Forum?

Stop complaining. This is a great site. Post your plays in tracker forum. Noone will bug you.

First off they are extremely restrictive, like a person being in the army with all those rules:

http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=896237

IMO the vast majority of people who'd be interested in a hassle free, troll free, thread where they alone can post their stuff have rejected that forum because of the restrictions of the 10 rules there.

Secondly the rules state the threads are only for posting picks. So those wanting a hassle free thread where they can post commentary, etc, in addition to picks are excluded.

Sounds like you need your own forum ... LOL

it's unfortunate but there's no way of stopping the Trolls. Most of the time if you post Losing Picks you get Bashed. and there are even times if you Post Winning plays, You still get Bashed !

Trolls are going to Troll and haters are going to hate, Sad

Even if you Ban these guys they just keep on coming back. That's because they have Nothing better to do.

If you and another poster once had a problem with each other, it Carries over for YEARS

your choice is either posts the plays in the tracker forum where they can't reach you, or post with comments in the Sports sub forums and report the trouble makers

I have no interest in my own forum & trolls etc don't bother me like they do numerous excellent members who have ceased participating here. Creating a new option where that doesn't occur would seem beneficial for theRX if there is an interest in it, but how would you ever know unless you created it.

If "they" (Trolls) can't "reach you" in "the tracker forum", then THERE IS a "way of stopping the Trolls".

All theRX needs to do is create such a "tracker forum" without all the ridiculous BS rules.

20 people viewing the Tracker forum. It has very little interest.

Ive been BEGGING the RX(SBR now) to do a Covers rip for 10++++ years,,, the last 800 times the RX asked how they can improve the site, and I gave Lock solid suggestions, and they did Nothing,,, (kindof like this year),, lol

Hey,,, I love the RX, especially you Betall!!! you got a hard job,,,

Having said that, you can also go to SBR!, they have a Clickable book there, just like covers does,,,

goodluck Xfiles

I've known about the Tracker forum for many years, but never had any interest in it for reasons already stated above.

How would people not know about it, since it's the 6th forum listed here http://www.therxforum.com/forum.php before all the sports forums, NFL, NBA, NCAAF, etc? Continue scrolling down that page past the individual sports forums to the bottom & you see other forums such as the Rubber Room, Politics & Site Promotions forums, all of which have way, way more interest than the Tracker forum. Even forums that have been shoved down to "out of sight, out of mind" land have much more interest than the Tracker forum. It isn't drawing people to theRX or significantly helping to solving the major trolling & fighting problems in the sports forums.

The Tracker forum is a dinosaur. Who views it except the same few people who post there.

X, the reason why it works in the tracker forum is because of the size or activity of that sub forum.
It's way easier to spot a problem there because if there was a " X-Files Season long NFL " Thread there and we see Sunshine11 has posted in that Thread
we know it's not allowed and will delete his post and tell that person to stay out.

What you want is already there as Each major Sports Sub forum has this Thread pinned to the top and if you read Post #3 http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=950516
You will see what Needs to be done to get Most Trolls out.

Now I will admit it doesn't always work because we post the Warning, sometimes place them on Post review and some get a temporary Ban.
If I had it MY way those repeat offenders wouldn't get a Temp Ban.

But then of course you have some of those permanent Banned guys that come back under Ghost handles
When caught and still being a D*ck, we Ban them again ( rinse and repeat )

Covers has a Dam Good format to Log plays,,

By rip,,, I am meaning "ripoff" of that specific section from Covers, since it is Perfect for this format. SBRs format is obviously anonymous, and THEY use that information for themselves to bet games off of,,,

lolol,,, Did I really just say that? lol

No shit, this fucktard single handedly ruined the baseball forum and is now shitting up the NFL and College football threads. It's unbelievable they let this continue. How many times have they banned the pos at this point?

LargeMarge · Oct 15, 2019

Sunshine does bring a special form of autism wherever he goes. Would nice to see him banned for good. Certainly does not drive traffic

When I see you post here man I get hope for this place. Probably false hope, but hope nonetheless. Good to see you

Knightrofins · Oct 16, 2019

I havent seen that much trolling in the forums lately when it comes to people's picks.

I've seen people responding asking for opinions or well wishes (i really only check the college football or hoops forums).

Years ago it was BAD where we lost a few STUD handicappers b/c of the trolls.

Can the RX create a new forum...
