We need to know since no advance notice was given. This may violate the Federal Fair Banking and Credit Act. We will find out soon.

I gave you this AM's points back Mex.

SBRPoints will be continue to be tweaked and evolve. Idea is to make it benefit the community the best it can...Whether it be adding a 7th daily ppoint for posting in sports or 1% on tranfers. Some guys suggested removing the point milestones such as the 1000th points. We'll look at that too and put those points in contests or other places.

Probably so since it only affects me. Oh well. I guess I should stop booking, so I don't sit there and lose 50 points daily.

As my first suggestion I would suggest no 1% transfers and instead focus on point stiffs. Thank you Bill.

It will also significantly effect lending and any poster to poster wagers. Dozer is right though. It is significantly less penalty than the 1 sub-forum point was a benefit. C'est la vie.

you are being taxed for using SBRs facilities for your operation.
just write it off as a business expense and pass it on to the consumer via raising juice

The problem isn't necessarily what's being done, it's making sure people are informed. Obviously since you guys are providing a free service with the points system we're not really in a position to complain about a 1% fee here and there in order to reduce operating costs. But when things like this happen without any forewarning or notice people are going to be rightfully irritated, and with no word from the mods posters are going to run rampant with their complaints. Would stifle a lot of the criticism if you guys just made a thread beforehand.

Jesus clam down its 2 f'n points. People do you realize SBR doesn't have to give you anything at all??? You want the points system takin' away all together??? TodaysAction has became the most annoying poster on SBR over the last few weeks. Maybe we should start a petition to have SBR do away with the points system, I am kinda getting sick of it. A petition will be comming soon..
