I am going to start this thread tongue in cheek and hope for the best.
There are posters who go into the betting forums that really do not even realize they are bashing.
In Bashing 101 you will learn the fine elements of what constitutes bashing.
Lets first try to list differant bashs -
1. The Moron Bash - Saying stupid things when someone has started a thread and is trying to win.
2. The Contrary Bash. - Making opposite assertions rudely going against the persons play who started the thread and is trying to win.
3. The Argument Bash - Argueing with another poster who did not start the thread, which can take the thread to the Dumpster.
4. The Subtle Bash - this is the bash where you are carefull to word it just right so you won't get called out, but still say something smartass. It usually works out OK and most posters ignore these. But then some don't and away we go !
5. The Repeat Bash - This is the bash where you pick up on something stupid that has been said 10 times, and then wait a few days, then jump in the thread and say it again.
6. The Intellectual Bash - Named for kosar. He is a expert on this one. The gun may not fire alot, but it is fully loaded and accessable.
7. The Just Kidding Bash - This is where you say something nasty and then say something nice at the end to smooth things over. followed by j/k.
8. The Stat Bash - This is the one where you contradict the persons play rudely , tell them they will lose, and you provide the stats to back it up.
9. TheCooler Bash - This is the one where you get so worked up you challenge the poster to make a bet and then disappear after you lose or you don't honor the wager.
10. The Political Bash. - Named by GM.
Basically, it doesn't matter what you say, no matter how intelligent or thoughtful it may have been. If the Political Basher is of a different political affiliation than you, the Political Basher has already determined that you are ALWAYS wrong about EVERYTHING, and will bash you and your beliefs even if it has no relevance to the current thread.
11. The StartSomeShit Bash This one is where the person has no intention of even betting a game, but just comes in the thread to start up some shit.
12. The Inside Information Bash - This is where you doubt the posters inside information and call him a fool or worse.
13. The onetrickpony Bash - This is where you post fictitious plays that you won or lost after the game is over.
14. The Post Game Prognotiscator Bash - named by DTB -
After seeing event they climb on all those that had the nads to put up their opinions prior to event--using after event stats to back up their post game opinion which is "always" 100% correct
15.The Scoreboard Bash - named by BobbyBlueChips where you can point out an adversaries records like, if one were to point out how hypocritical it is of edludes to call anybody a square when his bestbettor record is: well you get the picture.
16. The Homer Bash - named by Blackman Post a play against a team, and then someone with that teams avatar comes in and tells you that you don't know what you are talking about and that their team is a lock. This can also work in reverse, example would be if I post a play on the Eagles with some statistical basis, and a basher comes in and just says I am betting on my favorite team without looking at the game objectively.
17. The Picture Bash/ named by kosar Like when you're arguing with someone and you bust out a picture of a waving piece of toast or something.
18. The freelancc Bash-/ named by kosar This is where your entire post is an icon of a dude with a sign pointing up that says, 'I'm with stupid'....or simply posting a picture of a can of spam.
19. The IN YOUR FACE Bash - / named by Blackman the basher takes your own ammo and uses it against you after the fact.
20. The personal attack Bash - This is the worst of the worst. It is where you make things personal just trying to hurt someone. Its much easier to do sitting behind a computer.
.............................................................
I will add to the list as we go and I can think of more. Anyone else feel free to add to the list.
Maybe we can get to the root of this trouble and move on and win.
Jack and the moderators let us have some slack in the Gen Forum and Political/ Religious forum.
There is no need for it in wagering forums.
