Things on this forum have gotten worse and worse but it has really hit an all time low. 90% of the threads these days are people bitching about a game they are losing or douchebags making new accounts simply to bash people for losing bets as if they go 100%. People who know me around here know I get into a lot of arguments. This is because I can't stand the braindead things some people around here post on a regular basis. Obviously there will always be idiots who ruin it for everyone, but these people are growing at a rapid rate.

SOMETHING needs to be done to prevent these fcking kids from posting. This forum is getting worse and worse by the day and it's a shame because there actually are a handful of good guys around here. It' just impossible to find them these days.

We need some type of IQ test in order to join covers to prevent the retards from joining. I think Crow had a great idea in saying the retards can post in a special retard forum. Kind of like a penalty box for tards. Anyone who falls in the legally retarded category will not be able to post in the main forums.

Some of us actually use this forum to help us with our plays from the guys who have a clue what they are talking about. It's just a shame how hard it is to find these guys with all this bs.

How about Covers stops accepting new accounts 6 months from today?  Post a notice on the main page saying new accounts will no longer be accepted at that time so join while you can.  That by itself would rid this place of the idiots who join just to harass someone.  And if someone makes a dumb ass post, bam they are banned and gone for good.

No, the answer is a starter forum that you must post in to make a quota in order to join the real forums.
 
No one is going to spend a month trying gain a certain status to join the "Normal" posting  community just to lose their posting rights after bashing the hell out of one person.

I totally agree, rangerz. I started lurking late last year and the difference between now and then is like night and day. I think as the season is winding down the fucktards have realized how much they suffered this season so they take it out their envy on anyone and everyone better than them.

I know of forums where people have to post competently for a prolonged period of time before they can post in the main forums. Seeing how that takes too much effort, the least we could ask for around here is for the mods to be more attentive, which is tough considering the exponential growth rate of the fucktards.

Just think : they're fliers - they only come out at night ( after the games -cause they DO TAILING and loss on the plays ) and  are gone by day light .
 
2 wks ago couple of them get on my skin - now just 2 maybe 3 stalkers -and I  just ignore them ...
 
Thanks to sg004951

Great idea Crowkillers...now if somehow we can convince Covers to impose it because every year we loose some good cappers due to all the unnecessary bashing.  We lost lots of good ones when many left for the other site, now the remaining ones are being driven away.

I don't thint Covers is concerned about the good cappers going away though to be honest. It works in their favour.

Great idea, indeed. How does one go about enforcing it? I mean, puck is "calling it quits", which doesn't make any sense. Big deal, bashers are always going to be there. Like Barkley said, "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one." It's like that one douche in the classroom: there's always one. In this case, there are tons. Sad, but it's reality. Unless we can round 'em up somehow and have them "qualify"? I dunno, I'm rambling.

I think Kalind suggested a "ignore" poster button to Covers but it never pan out.  Primo only posted in his myspace page because he got tired of the bashers so only his friends can post a reply.  Those are some ways to get around the bashers or may be the mods just need to start boxing more people like they used to.

Sink,

Covers used to have that 24 hours before you can post rule, at least when I joined it was still enforced.

As for the Pucku deal, I don't think it matters whether he posted how much he plays or not.  He posted his plays for people to tail.  I think the issue is about the B2.  It can be very misleading because you have to hit around 63% to win.  I think Pucku used to post his bet amount, at least in the football forum, but may be he got bashed for posting the amount so he stopped.  The way I see it is the purpose of posting your plays and keeping your record to let others know how good of a capper you are, then you have to be ready to accept the criticism.

I DEF SAY THEY YOU NEED TO BE A NOTABLE PERSON ON THIS SITE BEFORE YOU CAN POST ETC. NEED TO ACTUALLY SHOW YOU RESPECT AND CARE ABOUT WHAT THE SITE HAS TO OFFER AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK TO MAKE IT A GOOD SITE. PAY THEM DUES FIRST BEFORE YOU GET FULL ACCESS AND SICLOSURE

crowkillers, a starter forum is an interesting idea. It seems like this could work with the system Covers already has here.

Because meeting online is so impersonal, I think the bashing and such will continue, because it is too easy to do and get away with. I don't know too many guys that will do this to your face without expecting to get a fist full. They need tighter regulations here. I'm fairly new here, but haven't had many problems and just try to ignore the idiots and bashers.

I say just ignore these morons. Giving them an response gives them attention they are not gettin from their momma or girlfriend..Just ignore them I know it is hard.  Those wit kids or bitchy wife or girl can relate. If you don't have any of previous it will take practice
