Whether they are new members or existing members, and they have never posted their plays, but begin to do so and include a winning record that they allegedly built BEFORE they started posting picks.

Should it be allowed & ignored, or should the posters be asked to only post their records that currently exists since they began posting their plays on the forum?

As a mod,you should know the answer.

Only records from here(the rx) are allowed.

I don't know if there should be a policy on this, it seems that it would give the mods a lot more work to do, by trying to make sure that every members posted record is 100% correct and verified. For the most part the members that follow other members plays kind of police those records so to speak. When past records sound to good to be true and they are undocumented, it usually means that the record is to good to be true.

It would be easy for some new members that like to follow or fade, if only plays that have been posted at The RX can count toward a record.

But all it really takes is a little common sense and research by the member looking to follow or fade to know if its a good idea to tail or not.
