Over the last couple of years there have been a lot of posts about sports and leagues being rigged, or some iteration, in various forums on Covers. Until now, these types of posts and threads were tolerated in any sub forum on Covers. Today we have implemented a new rule to our forum guidelines to restrict these kinds of threads and posts to a single forum, the 'Other' forum. From now on if a user makes a 'rigged' thread in any forum that isn't the 'Other' forum, then it will be moved to the aforementioned forum and the poster will be suspended. Similarly, if a users makes a 'rigged' post on a thread that isn't in the 'Other' forum, it will be deleted and the user suspended. Bans will be given out upon repeat offences.
The reason for this new guideline is because many of these threads and topics take away from people trying to have legitimate sports betting discussions, and negatively impacts their experience in the forum.

So I can't create threads pre game warning others about Crooked Carl Cheffers and other shady zebras ??? Plenty of my capping is based on these game wardens .
No, Lancer, you can’t. You and I disagree about a lot of things but on this I hope we can agree. They posted this crap in the basketball forum and here is what a poster wrote:
“If theres something I see in a game that is suspect I will comment in the appropriate thread. Where do ya draw the line on this one? Fixed, rigged, manipulated, questionable officiating , tanking,VAR?
I guess if you bring any of this into question it's a rigged thread?
Give me a break covers...
Dont like my title thread, then dont click on it. Pretty simple..
I have a better idea, why not make a rigged sub forum? That would be sweet..”
And here was my response:
This is exactly what I’m talking about! It is a slippery slope. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. this is how the PC movement started. Now, no speech is safe. No person is safe. No space is safe. No job is safe. And worst of all, no joke is safe. People have lost their sense of humor.
You are obviously an intelligent man and probably should not be wasting your time in here. Frankly, I hope they ban me so I’m not compelled to come in here and educate the masses about the freedoms they are willingly giving up just so they don’t have to be offended or have their feelings hurt.

Let me clarify any confusion around the rule as it pertains to officiating.
Saying officiators are committing human errors when making a call, or highlighting a trend/statistic associated with a certain officiator isn't the same as saying the officiator is fixing/rigging a game. Unless it is followed by an accusation of the officiator rigging/fixing a game because of said call or trend/statistic.

There have been alot of posts..... because many people actually agree. Because it's a tangible, historically proven fact it takes place. Because gamblers started pro leagues.
So far, I don't see a so called "other" thread ,yet.
