You are giving yourself way to much credit, I could care less about 99% of your posts. I do however try to respond to the ones I am able to. Yesterday I searched for close to an hour looking first for some sort of decimal converter web-site, and 2nd for the Excell info you are looking for, unfortunately I never found anything worth posting.

I don't know what you expect from Moderators, but I will give you a little info about the duties required.
Forum moderators are like the crossing guards of the message board. They keep community members within the “crosswalk” so that the board can fulfill its purpose. In some cases, the purpose of the board demands a very tight scrutiny.
Another job of the moderator is to stimulate conversation in the forum. By showing activity, you can actually increase the interest of the rest of the community. (After all, who wants to sit in an empty room?)
Generally, moderators have a threefold responsibility: to ensure that members are following the community rules, to assist new members, and to foster lively discussion. A good moderator ensures that his/her forum is inviting, active, and an asset to the community as a whole.
Of course, the purpose of the community will determine how strong the presence of the moderator should be. For example, in a message board provided for a teen audience, firm moderation may be necessary for the enjoyment of all members. If the message board is located on a company intranet, minimal supervision may be necessary to allow free professional discussions.
For forums with multiple moderators, the group of moderators should agree on general guidelines for editing/deleting/closing topics, as well as forum rules. It is best to present a consistent, united moderation team to the community. It’s also a good idea to select moderators from within the group of members, creating instant buy-in and empathy when the moderator must take action.
The moderators should always be familiar with the specific rules and regulations of their board.

First of all we are not touts. I do not like to tout people for several reasons, not the least being the possibility of causing someone to lose money on my account. Once in a while I will post a play, or at least an opinion if I feel strongly, and actually do have some well thought reasons why the play or opinion has merit. In short touting is not part of our jobs.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>You are right, it is funny though, If I had started my thread "I have been scammed" & inside the thread had commented on how I had bet into a bad line we would already be on PAGE 4 of the thread. But something useful like tracking plays gets minimal attention.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Whos fault is that?
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Wil, I understand your point about the fact that not many people use spreadsheets, hence, the not many replies... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
You answer yourself about why tracking plays gets minimal attention.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>How about chiming in with WHAT YOU DO USE?..instead of Ostracizing? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Why not ask that then, something like:
Tracking Betting who uses what, or WHAT DO YOU USE INSTEAD?
Ostracizing - big word.
Main Entry: os·tra·cize
Pronunciation: -"sIz
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -cized; -ciz·ing
Etymology: Greek ostrakizein to banish by voting with potsherds, from ostrakon shell, potsherd -- more at OYSTER
1 : to exile by ostracism
2 : to exclude from a group by common consent.
You got me, who has been ostracized?
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>I also understand that I rub you the wrong way for whatever reason. No need for apologies there. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Please get over yourself, you don't in anyway rub me the wrong way. Non-issue imo.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> f you could not see the sarcasm or the jest in my post above where I stated "not many at the RX like to talk about Gambling" then you were not looking deep enough & you are taking my posts way too literally...As it turns out, however, it seems I am not the only one with these thoughts.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I am not a psych major, and do not have the insight and cannot take the time to try to read between the lines of every post I see. Quite frankly I don't know your posting persona well enough to tell whether you are joking or not, sorry.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> RX needs to fix up the categories & have an OFF TOPIC category.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
This is an old debate and fwiw I agree, but I do not make forum policy here.
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I Like the BS topics, <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Ya dont say.
Have a nice day, I have wasted enough time today and yesterday on this thread.
