I'm considered a new poster here, but I see other new posters that right of the bat start stabbing others and make smartass remarks. Have these posters got banned in the past or just want to take revenge. Can't understand. Curious

More than likely they already have been around.

Why would it matter if somebody had 50,000 posts and 5 posts?

Like I stated yesterday, gambling forums is like internet dating, you never know what you're going to get.

I wonder what some of these posters are in the real world.

Do they go around town changing their names and insulting others.

There are a lot of unmoderated bulletin boards that people are used to-especially the younger guys. It's not surprising for them to come in with a "it's a free for all" attitude, but they learn or leave.

There is a button at the bottom left of every post that you can use to report problem posts. Some just don't know any better, but yeah-there are some with agendas.

I will agree with living- Just because you have a lot of posts doesn't mean you are any better then someone with one.If someone has a valid point to make who cares if it is his first post? :drink:

Jwun, for the most part, the long time posters know the ropes and learn what does & doesn't fly.

There are always exceptions, but that's how it seems to me.

Because it is the quickest way to gain acclaim for some. If you attack poster(s), people will remember you more. It's the quickest way to draw attention and a reaction from others for a lot of low post guys. Once they see they are being accepted and replied too, they usually cool it. Happens all the time.

For the most part that is true, but there are plenty of posters here that have thousands of posts that don't know the difference between the pointspread and cheesespread.:drink:

It's a shame that a poster(s) have to attack others to get attention.

Same can be said for those who have to mention they have $10,000 on a game....it doesn't make the play more likely to win if you say you have 5 dollars or 10,000 on it.

I agree. Momma allways said--"Life was like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get." :lolBIG:
