ZZZ - as a moderator I move threads that are pick treads. For example If i had posted before the game tonight that Providence would cover the spread against a weak but undefeated and favored BC team it would get moved to the College Basketball forum. The drift of this thread was not a pick, but how imo weak BC is for a 17-0 team. Our policy by that I mean the Rx. is pick threads - "team A will cover against team B" get moved to the apprppriate forum. Discussion threads about teams, players, or leagues for example are another matter and get to stay Offshore in hope of some discussion about the topic. We are trying to keep pick threads in the particular sport forums when possible.
I am basically telling readers that somewhere along the line BC will get beat but it is up to them to figure out when. I was off last night and did not see the Illionos thread. I understand no one likes to see their thread moved to another forum, but in many cases there is more traffic in the sports forums than offshore. The Rubber Room is another matter and not what I am talking about. Without the various sports forums finding picks would be all the harder for posters, one of the main complaints we get (beside why did you move my thread) is there is to much non-essential posting going on and it makes it very hard to find the best cappers picks are. If we had just one general forum it would be even harder to find the best picks.
I hope I have helped a little with this post. Best of luck, wil.
