Here’s how I’d play it:

Armenia - Italy 2 @ 1.40

Italy is a solid squad; they should definitely handle Armenia.

Belarus - Spain 2 @ 1.15

Not much to say there.🙂

Ireland - Germany 2 @ 1.45

I don't follow the Irish side that closely, but I doubt they're strong enough to walk all over Germany.🤷

France - Japan 1 @ 1.60

France is playing at home against Japan—it's a no-brainer.🙂

What do you guys think of these matchups? Anything you'd add or swap out? I'm planning to put them all on one parlay with a slightly larger stake (not mentioning the amount so I don't have to post a screenshot)🤣

Sure, I messed up technically, but I didn't realize those specific things were forbidden even after reading the rules—except for that first post about soccer betting. Unfortunately, my posts just got nuked. The moderation was pretty intense, but I'm just here to share how it went. It's no big deal; I'm not going to lose my shirt over two infractions.

I just finally realized what those tiny red letters under the posting rules in that PDF actually mean.

Breaking these group rules will result in... Wiping it away. Your post went up without any warning. Maybe just cardboard.

I honestly can't figure out what the deciding factor was between an eventual ban and a final one in both instances. Especially since those two posts were my very first ones on this subforum—I've never actually broken any rules here before. 😕

Getting flagged for an oversized image? Look, the rules for this sub-forum (and the site as a whole, really) are pretty explicit about the 640x480 limit, so
then getting hit with a warning for breaking two different sub-forum rules at once just proves one thing:
a) you didn't bother reading the sub-forum rules
b) you completely missed the announcement regarding the changes to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas sub-forum, or
c) you saw them and just decided they didn't apply to you.

The first post is always the gold standard—it's common sense. We can't exactly put "MUST READ FIRST POST" in every single thread title, right? As a veteran user, you really should have picked that up by now.

Got two infractions in a single day over at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas sub 🤣

1. For an image exceeding 640 pixels

I dropped this pic in a thread about soccer betting

http://gyazo.com/d594e9ffc779b08163228910ec72790e.png

The resolution is 1022x201 pixels. The vertical height is only 201 pixels—it actually takes up way less space than those screenshots people post in threads when a single parlay ruins their weekend.
I did read the rules before posting, and they state images shouldn't exceed 640 pixels. But let's be real: if every image was capped at 640 total pixels, you wouldn't be able to see anything. A 640x640 image is over 400,000 pixels, while mine was only about 205,000. The rule isn't clearly defined, so I'm pretty sure this infraction was uncalled for. This was my very first post on that board, too.

2. Also in the soccer betting thread

I scrolled through the current thread, followed the link to the original post in the soccer betting section, and finally realized where I tripped up.
I skipped the opening post because, honestly, "soccer betting" seems self-explanatory. The title didn't say "Read the first post" or "Follow these specific rules" to signal that I couldn't just list my picks and ask for opinions. Usually, I check the first post of any thread, but since the title didn't make it obvious that I needed to do that, I missed it. In any other soccer betting group, you'd just ask for feedback on a few games. They could have just deleted my reply instead of handing out an infraction for something that wasn't explicitly stated. Same goes for the image post; they could've just wiped it.

To wrap this up, I’ll just point out the irony in the rules claiming they tolerate a more relaxed atmosphere than other US boards🙄

All in all, it feels like an overreaction toward someone just trying to participate for the first time. From here on out, I'll probably just stay away from posting there altogether.

It’s basically high school level stuff, so maybe stick to the physics corner for students.
Just... if you honestly think it belongs here.

What about that subforum for subject help?
lol anyway, no big deal. I was just curious how he pulled it off, but whatever. 😁

Demosthenes totally misread the thread title. If he’d actually read the opening post or followed the discussion, he would’ve realized this question belongs in a different section entirely.

It's like someone starts a thread about modes of transport regarding electrical carriers in a semiconductor, and someone else replies—road, air, and sea. :mig

I get it, I get it. Can we just move this to its own dedicated thread? 🙂
And don't forget to include pipeline transit. 🤣

I noticed some of the recent posts in this thread were wiped. Why's that? Was it because they drifted off-topic? Honestly, I think the question that user asked (the one I replied to) would have been better served by spinning it off into its own dedicated thread over at "natural science." That way, they actually get the help they need instead of just having everything deleted. Thanks 🙂

Alright, it doesn't even matter anymore. I finally got the real deal from them today. It’s not like I was asking for anything illegal; I just didn't feel like driving all the way out to the suburbs, so I figured if anyone had it, they could just send it over or something 🙂

Hey there.
I started a thread titled "Zet printer" over in the Student and scholar corner yesterday, but someone moved it. Now it just says:

Moved: Zet printer

I'm getting an "access denied" error every time I click this thread. I’ve tried searching the forum and even dug through Google, but nothing. It’s clearly not just tucked away in some obscure corner; it's gone. Plus, no moderator has reached out to let me know what's up.
Does anyone know anything about this? 😕 🤷
