Todd,
It's not you I'm worried about....it's the countless requests for help that go unrecognized. I still feel I'm helping your site, because I don't BS and I give suggestions and attempt to help a lot of your 6000+ members, my stats aren't that bad, and only about about 10% of your members help others on a daily basis with their forum posts and predictions.
Because of the copyright info that you can claim to, but any member can use , and make money on, I will no longer be offering suggestions or help to these people because I don't want my five years of hard work paying their way for nothing. I've spent a lot of hours and money on this game as I'm sure you have too, so I will no longer be giving out "uncopyrighted" information. I came here to help and I won't be ripped off by some lazy dogs. I'm sick and tired of the PM's that I answer at 30 minutes a crack and yet the copyright goes to the respondee because of your policy. It makes the idea of a forum useless because there are a lot of con artists jumping on one's ideas and making bucks on it.
So I'll be glad to post, but no more help except for my real buddies on this forum via PM only and they know who they are.
I'm extremely upset about this because my PM's, My Maybell's posts and my posts on your site have been given and reproduced freely to your 6000 customers and I wasn't looking for any copyrights, just a thank you now and then.. At ten bucks a pop I'd be way farther ahead in this game, but like an idiot I'm giving info out for free. No more, and I'll live by that.
Less than 10% of your 6000 + membership gets involved, so what are the rest of these jamokes doing with our hard work, ideas, suggestions and predictions?
Sorry to be so pissed but like Popeye says "I says it the way I sees it." Maybe if you charged admission to those who don't contribute one useful bit of information, but come for their free daily forum views, they'd either participate or get off the pot.
Point is; When you are claiming copyright rights from 100 members and offerring those copyrights to 5900 other people it is just not fair to those 100 everyday posters....look at the prediction board and compare it to your membership numbers.
Charge these SOB's if they can't contribute one IQ point to the effort.
