Prediction League Game 43 - Bradford City v Leyton Orient (League One)

At this point I can only conclude you are either doing this on purpose or you are the most stupid human on the planet. The first post tells you how to submit now, I've told you how to submit personally on the threads for FIVE MATCHES now and I've also sent you PM's about it and you see EVERY OTHER person using the prediction portal.

I will not be including your entry for this game unless you resubmit via the portal and it will be the same for every forthcoming match not submitted correctly

I was replying to your PM but lets do it here as you have posted here and apparently you say you can't read my PM's

No you didn't do it with no issue. Here is the templates for the correct way of submitting your entries that was in EVERY first post



For every single match this season (And every season you have played actually) you have chosen to do it as

Bantams x - Punny Name for Opponent x

I raised this with you last season and was ignored. I raised it with you again this season and I was ignored

I wanted it in a specific manner because when I was doing it manually it was taking me hours a game so I automated it so my script read the thread, pulled the predictions out, processed them and scored it. However when people submitted them wrong it didn't process them correctly.

In most cases it only impacted them as they spelt a players name wrong or used a nickname so it just left points off for correct goalscorer (Although I did go through and check and fix most of these but some did slip through, some people queried me on and I fixed but there were probably others that I didn't notice and they didn't so they left points on the table)

Your's however ended up causing issues for everyone who submitted after you. Every week I was having to go and manually fix things and you were a big part of why I took some of my spare time to code the portal so I wasn't having to take time out manually fixing it. The other reasons being that it removed the different spellings of players names and use of nicknames and also allowed everyone get the results for the game much quicker because there are times where I don't have the time to fix it so they may not get the results for a match for a couple of games.

I changed the first post telling you how to use the portal. I quoted and personally tagged you over and over again as well as sending you PM's. One of the mods also contacted you I believe. So I was still having to manually sort your submissions.

At the end of the day I don't get paid for running this, I do it my own time as a bit of fun for myself and because people here also like it. When people submit incorrectly that takes up even more of my time. When it's a mistake then that's fine but when I seem to be ignored for multiple seasons and then when I put together a system to remove that issue and I'm still being ignored by a single user it comes across as intentional and malicious. And again I PM'd you which gets you an alert, I quoted you which gets you an alert and I tagged your username which also gets you an alert. It's not like I only contacted you once via an obscure method so what am I supposed to think.

And I have a life as well. I have been asking you to take 1 minute a SINGLE TIME to read my messages across multiple seasons which would save me having to spend 10+ minutes every match to fix the issues your incorrect submissions cause is not asking too much is it?
