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 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...
