I'm growing tired of this place and probably won't be posting here
much longer. I hit 60% consistently and some of you trash talkers have
ruined it for the guys that understand and want to get better. Those
that like/want the plays hit me up on my covers space. -----------
covers is a business like anything else...so when some newbie with 100 posts gets hot and a lot of page views he will invariably try and steer you towards:
a - another site b - his PAY FOR PICKS plan
my job as covers mod is to try and protect the site and keep it clean from aliases and spammers. i wish barbs40 nothing but success and +100000 units but if he wants to build his own business through his views at covers then covers isnt the place for him
he can post all he likes in the box. once he explains himself about the quote above, i may let him out of the box. the sooner the better barbs...im very fair
for those who have been here less than a few months, this happens 10-20 times a year. next week someone will be hot and you can tail them until they implode or....
you can do some work on your own and become a better handicapper and use covers as a reference or an information source

KOAJ has my respect and has always seemed impartial and fair so give him a fair explanation and if it is reasonable, I am sure you will be freed.
I am not sure I see the problem with telling people to come to your Cover's homepage to avoid the haters if your intentions are genuine, as Covers created the homepages for the purpose of allowing poster's to blog and converse without the interruptions to allow posts only from "friends."
I am sure it won't become a witchhunt nor will KOAJ hold a personal vendetta against you and hold you in the box if your intentions are genuine. I am sure he will do what is best for the site and not act like a bully with a personal agenda.
Good luck Barb!

directing people to your space is completely fine however when preceding such a statement you write:
I'm growing tired of this place and probably won't be posting here much longer. ---- Those that like/want the plays hit me up on my covers space.
its easy to read his motive. of course if he explains it with another perspective, i'll listen
See your point.
However, one could construe "this place" to mean the main forum where Barbs is being bashed, or even if "this place" is referring to Covers, maybe Barbs is offering that before not "posting here much longer", that he/she will try the route of the Covers' homepages which is a bit of a safe haven to avoid the immature bashing.
Regardless, I trust you will be fair if Barbs explains and certainly will do what is in the site's best interest, as that is your job and you do it well.

KOAJ - I'm neither a maker or enforcer of the rules at Covers, but this as good a thread as any to post my .02 worth that Gamehunter has done his time and should be set free.

and RIP 100 .... you don't need the expertise ... you need to get off your ass, do your own research and make your own gd picks ... typical bs for the lazy
Hey Fade-em- all, next time you go" fishin" don't forget to "unplug the boat before you go out. You got enough there for a good meal !!!

I agree with Gamehunter and I interpretted it as he would be moving to his covers page much like kalind did in basketball when he was hot and then he actually lost like two games in a row and obviously was bashed unmercifully for it. He then just posted his picks on his covers space.
Besides being cocky, I actually didn't see anything wrong with what barbs wrote, that's why I thought the boxing was a bit harsh.....not the end of the world, just my opinion.

After spending a good amount of time on these forums, you can tell when one of these scumbags comes here with an agenda and tries to make a name for themselves.
No doubt, barbs has been posting winners here for a month now. But by the way he posts and talks about his picks, it's obvious sooner or later he will try to get people to pay for his picks.
This is easy to see and I support any action Covers takes against Barbs.
TOUTS
So who the hell are you and who the hell cares if he does? Then put him on the "Experts" page if you think he wants to sell his picks. I'm sure he'd be happy with that. I've bought picks from Lawrence, Burns, and a few others... and I've gotten much better results following barbs than anyone else, so I would be just fine with that too.
You condascending asses that have thousands of posts and say you've seen it all are just too f'n jaded, and should still give the benefit of the doubt. And as a moderator, is that the best you can do? Did someone come running to you saying that barbs was trying to sell his plays? I doubt it. And if they did I'm sure they did so because he was hurting their business. You took it upon yourselves to put him in the box because he got a little irritated? Frickin wow! That's so stupid it's hysterical. Look at what this poor bastard had to put up with. Guys were creating new screen names every day just to come in and try to create dissention. And how did he respond? In a totally classy, direct way. To the best of my knowledge he never got into a pissing contest with any of the real touts who showed up to try to knock him down. You can say he touted himself if you want to, but until he asks for money isn't it basically a free forum? Guys talk to each other in profanity laced bashes every day... guys have basically soft-core porn for their avatars.... and you ban this guy for posting winning plays and getting aggravated with degenerate responses? Can you even see how stupid that is?
Covers should do all they can to keep him around. You may as well ban me for speaking my mind... but if this is what happens to a capper who hits a great percentage and then catches undue crap for it, I really have no desire to frequent covers.com anymore anyway.

Excellent post. But then again, what do we know JT? we're just prospects with fewer than 100 posts on a freaking internet forum. therefore it must be impossible for us to be discriminating in how we choose to play or tail anyone. we're really just aliases for barbs40 after all. it's disgusting how people are treated here. and yet the mods to nothing but perpetuate the good 'ole boy network that exists on here for a few of the veterans and captains. we're "lazy", "moron followers" of a "douchebag", and heaven forbid if someone with less than 100 posts raises an objection to the status quo.
some people here were glad to see him go, and i bet those same people couldn't give one reason why other than to accuse him of being a tout. 2 thumbs down in my book.

koak yeah maybe he meant tired of the place meaning dealing with all the knuckleheads talking trash to him. I never saw him ask for money or even say he should charge for money like other people in the past. But hey i've been here at the site since 02 start posting on 04 but all the time when somebody is winning they always get shot down never praised. by the site

when he said to check his covers space sounds like hes going to place his pl then he doesnt have to deal with all the feed back on the forum he doesn't say give me your email or check out my site he uses covers space which is part of the site right i doon't know I took it that way.

Barbs has no interest in becoming a tout, unlike some that have gone through the forum. Barbs releases a few plays a day, unlike where most touts release 4+ a day. Either way if you read his posts for the past 6 weeks you can easily decipher that what is bothering him is the bashing. My thought is he hasn't experienced the bashing before and got pissed off that some people couldn't understand his strategy. A strategy that I strongly believe in. 10 units a month.
Koaj, look at his past posts. I have also conversed with Barbs via email and have learned a little about him. Thats why I'm writing to say he doesn't have intentions on growing a business on covers.
