No, you will not.

By the way i hope the LOSERS of this bet will keep their words not like.... oh well (let them post but if they join in this bet what a loser they are)


This is exactly the kind of comment I'm talking about. If you guys do not stop talking about the previous bet and keep trying to enforce it with flames and insults, you will be banned. Last chance.

If this bet can't be handled with maturity, that's it. If you follow your fellow forum members around with insults and snide comments, I bet that you won't be posting anymore. And trust me, I won't lose that bet. :wink:

Yeah, yeah, I know. :P But please believe me, it's not about killing the fun or wielding administrative power just for the sake of wielding administrative power, I'm just trying to make sure that everyone can post without being attacked. I would like everyone to get the most enjoyment possible out of the forum. I feel it is my role to make sure that everyone can post freely without being abused and that a certain level of civility is maintained.

I understand that some of the rules and the enforcement may seem strict, but EG has recently shown me some forums where there is no moderation, and frankly, the discussions suck. They are thrown off-topic with flames that rage through pretty much every thread.

I know everyone understands this, but I want to say again that I'm not trying to be nasty or abusive of my position as admin, I'm just try to maintain civility and enforce rules as fairly as possible. I certainly prefer a bet like this since it's a bit of fun and the forum doesn't stand to lose any members (believe me, no matter how that bet turned out I wasn't keen on losing such loyal and eager-to-contribute members), I just don't want it to erupt into a flame that takes over the NBA Talk section. I've seen enough flames to know how they can ruin good discussion and how they can start from the smallest (and sometimes silliest) disagreement.

So in summary, please be civil and follow the forum rules. I don't like handing out severe punishments, but I will if I have to.

Now then,

I won't be taking part in this bet, as I don't feel strong loyalty to either team. Given that I have the power to jinx teams, it wouldn't be fair, either. :wink:

Guys, like Andrew said, can we keep this bet good natured? Nothing wrong with talking smack as long as you keep it clean and don't stoop to insulting people in a degrading manner.

That forum that Andrew referenced is a mess...and the Admin there is now shutting it down and starting a new one because of it...all because things got out of control with all the spamming and flaming because of the 'freedom.' Things are so nice here BECAUSE of the civility rules, and I think we should be appreciative of Andrew for that.

Anyway...as for the bet...I'm all for friendly wagering. The problem with the membership bets is that either way...the forum loses...because members leave no matter what the result.

But this one sounds harmless enough. Might I suggest that, since the Lakers are such favorites, that they spot Detroit a game? Meaning that, if the Lakers win in 7 games...then the Detroit fans win the bet? Just like Vegas...you have to have odds and other such measures to make a bet fair.

(and yes, I know the Pistons are already up 1 game...but it hasn't changed anyone's predictions)

Actually. the bet is over. It was if the Lakers win in 6, unless you pistons fans want to give us some mercy, which I doubt. :P

Who knows! If the Lakers win in 7 then nobody won right? The Pistons lost and the Lakers didn't close it out in 6... :twisted:
