personally i think its been on the downturn the past few months, just blah.
it used to be the first stop i'd make everyday but now number 4. but lately it seems to have picked up. i guess it depends on the cast of posters at the time. i miss some of the fun (battles) that used to go on but the mods want everybody to be nice and vanilla...imo
alot of posters left but there is still alot of good info to be found. i just think the mods take the fun out of a lot of stuff. i know they have a job to do but the cast of charactors made this place a must read everyday...jmo
thanks and God bless

One thing everyone must keep in mind is that TheRx differs from most of the other forums is that the most important interaction & posting goes on in the different sports forums sections where picks & discussion are always alive & kicking, while other sites hang out on the main page/offshore section BS'ing more.
Take a look around & compare.
If you post your NFL, MLB, or whatever plays in the appropriate section here at TheRx, you can bet you behind that it can get kicked to the 2nd page in no time where it isn't seen unless someone replies.
Check out other forums where those sections are basically dead, which are most important overall.
Much more professional here & best overall cappers.....

For The Record
We do not delete threads or posts about our sponsors as long as they are not written profanely. When that happens all we do is clean up the language.
Look in to last several years of threads here in this forum and you will find dozens of threads about our sponsors. All we ask is for posters (especially for no reason) to profane insult our sponsors.
Other threads that look like they have deleted are 99% of the time been moved to another forum for one reason or another.
The reputation for deleting posts and threads is unwarranted due to policies goin back years that have been changed so that there is only we only censor porn, profanity, and bickering between posters.
This following statement is posted in nearly all of the Sport Forums in a sticky thread. I don't think it is asking a lot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rx. policy on reporting abusive and out of line posting in an Rx.com sport forum.
Posters - PLEASE show each other at least a small amount of courtesy when posting in any of The Rx.com Sport Forums, all of this bickering and ridicule is getting tiresome and worse than that very counter-productive.
All of you are here to try to beat your bookies, not each other, so again please either post productively or use The Rubber Room if you want to post abusively or criticise your fellow posters.
Please try your best to help each other or if you can't do that than kindly leave well enough alone posters who you may disagree with.
The Rx.com moderator team is spread fairly thin and has to depend upon you posters to report bashing. abusive posting and un-called for criticism or ridicule in any of our Sport Forums by using the "Report a Post" icon at the bottom left of all post boxes.
Violaters will be warned, repeat violaters will be placed on post review for for periods of time commensurate with the degree of bashing or abusive posting.
Eventually mutiple offenders who have been warned on several occasions will be banned from the site indefinitely.
Please use the "Report a Post" icon to report any bashing or out of line posting that either happens to you or any you see happening to others - it will be greatly appreciated by The Rx.com Moderator team as well as the poster being abused. Reports will be acted upon promptly and with complete discretion. Simply click on the triangular icon at the bottom left hand corner of all Rx.com post boxes.
Icon: All posts have this icon at bottom left.
Also any poster who sees something that appears to be out of line should feel free to contact any of the Rx. moderators (see list below) or use the report Post function icon above.
Using the icon will immediately generate an email with a link to the offending post to several moderators, one of which who upon receipt of the email will take immediate action and deal with the offending poster or posters. All you need to do is click on the icon and type one,two or maybe three simple words and click on SEND REPORT.
Those few words can be something along the lines of abusive poster, profane language, uncalled for bashing, unfair criticism etc.
When posters assist each other in such a manner then there is little chance that a poster will be on the receiving end of unfair bashing or abusive posting for very long.
Posters are also invited to email moderators individually if so desired. However this method for reporting abusive posting can be slower in obtaining results than using the report a post icon method.

The entire Rx.com moderator team is asking all of you to show some courtesy to each other. Everyone who is serious about betting on sports deserves to be allowed to post their own thread without being abused or ridiculed by other posters. This goes for veteran and newbie posters alike.
Do not get into an argument in any sport forum threads, simply report the out of line posts and a moderator will deal with it ASAP.
Any threads or posts that don't conform to this policy are subject to being moved to the Rubber Room entirely.
Thank you from the entire Rx.com Mod Team..
Regarding Profanity:
Profane Thread titles..(Also in sticky threads around the site).
While I am reluctant to create any new rules here in the Rx.com Sport Forums, I would like to appeal to everyone to refrain from what is becoming epidemic in nature -- The posting of profane thread titles.
I am talking about posters who take a tough beat and want to blame it on a relief pitcher who blew a 9Th inning lead, a quarterback who is intercepted in what would have been a point spread covering drive, or a coach of any given team whose late game strategy fails and his team also fails to cover the point spread.
There are many other examples but I think you all get my point.
Lets all stop with "Fucking Brad Lidge or John Papelbon" type of thread titles. For every bad beat you experience there is someone who got a lucky late game cover from the same game..
Bottom line blaming an individual player, coach, umpire or referee for a game you played and lost is not very mature behavior. Bad or tough beats are a big part of gambling, feel free to vent but PLEASE do not dumb down our very valuable and for the most part intelligent Sport Forums by creating a thread title like "The Cubs Blow" or Donavan McNabb is a fucking clown" etc etc etc.
These thread titles irritate many of us and are totally unnecessary and to put it bluntly juvenile in nature. I know if you don't it like don't read it. Fine but still the thread does little to enhance the overall sharp post percentage of our sport forums.
Take it to The Rubber Room and rant away. Get mad if you want but don't look for sympathy by throwing a tantrum in the middle of a forum filled with threads that are written with intelligence and the desire to share knowledge with other players that could help a poster stop a bad run of luck or help another keep a hot streak intact..
Going forward do not be surprised to see profane thread titles edited or the thread itself moved to the Rubber Room.
I am asking you all to think before you rant about a blown save or a goal line fumble that cost you a wager. We have all been there and know the feeling.
Lets keep these Sport Forum positive instead of a place to cry about a difficult loss that each of us pulled the trigger on in the first place at one time or another and when viewed with an unbiased mind is where the blame really lies for all lost wagers -- The person who made the bet itself..Not the pinch hitter who wiffed with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9Th or the offensive lineman who got called for holding to nullify a spread covering TD.
Take responsibility for your own decisions and deal with them like a mature and intelligent handicapper.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, wilheim...

Regarding Post Review - Sticky threads all over this forum are posted with the fllowing.
Important - anyone on post review please read..
Post Review is when you make a post but you get a message that a moderator has to review the post first before it can be posted in it's intended forum.
I would like to take you off post review and allow you to post freely here in on The Rx.com Posting Forum without having to wait for a moderator to review every post you make.
The reason you are on is probably something to do with the way you registered. In many cases it is you have a posting name already active coming from your IP. but there are other reasons.
If The Rx.com has you on post review and you would like to get off please email me at wilheim@therx.com back-up person19481950@yahoo.com and include your Rx poster name in the email. Please title the email Rx Post Review Removal so I will be able to identify the email and not treat it like spam.
I may have to ask you a question or two but ultimately I want to free up posters restricted by post review. There are no guarantees but a brief email is the best way to get off post review..
Thank you, wilheim
We try to give posters 2nd and 3rd chances all the time.
