MODS - why are some posters allowed to post sports-related posts here but I am not?

[IDENTITY]

Why does my post get moved to the Baseball forum, where I know hardly anyone in there, when MANY moderators and other posters can post their thoughts on baseball games, football games, olympic games, etc. in the offshore forum?

Do you think it is just a favoritism thing? Do you simply enjoy moving my posts? Thanks.

I would say you are not a favorite of many here.

ID - as far as I know only stone cold pick posts will get moved to the appropriate forum. Eg. Padres -125 is a lock, thanks poster xyz.

Threads about sports in general usually are not moved unless they are "ingame" picks or rants, some posters like to talk to themselves about how their bets are doing, which is fine, but why not do so in the appropriate forum. We try to have a single thread for football games on weeknights that can serve as a catch all for people who want to post picks here offshore. Why only football and not baseball - because of the popularity of Monday, Sunday, and now Thrusday night football. The Olympics are a once every 4 year event and Olymnpic pick threads really don't have home forum. Preseason football is another odditity as far as scheduling goes with games on any given night.

I know you have posted some sport threads that haven't been moved, so you should know what the difference is between a straight pick thread and
a discussion thread.


wil.

whatever you say, wilhelm. i will abide by the "rules."

however, it is obvious that the moderators get favorable treatment. dont know when a moderator thread has ever been moved. but i guess you guys get paid the big bucks and have that power!!!!

ID, I moved my own thread a few days ago....to the RR because some posters thought it does not belong in offshore... I am not above you or any poster in any way ..I play by the rules with posts but make mistakes like everyone.
