[JTContinental]

Welcome all! Please wipe all the clay off your feet before entering. Formalities aside, let's get on with the show. As we say here, "when you're red, you're dead." No zombies, please.

I'll be back later in the morning to make things looks pretty, but for now, please enjoy the following information dump for day 1 picks

[ponchi101]

First impressive pick:
Muchova.

[jazzyg]

I see Zhang won two more games than she did in her last match.

Remember to tune in at the end of each round for TMQ's smash hit recap; STANK or DANK, where I will lightly roast you for your terrible losing pick.

[JazzNU]

First impressive pick:
Muchova.

Counterpoint - not impressive and a pick made way too early, a pick that only an SP rookie not a seasoned vet would make

[ashkor87]

Oh yeah?!

Was this kind of post really called for? If this is not controlled, I am leaving this forum. I don't need to deal with trolls @ponchi, presumably the one on charge of this forum.

Also Frech over Zhang--someone did their homework

The easy part.
I AM NOT in charge of this forum. I am in charge of the technical aspects of the forum. That is indeed my role.
A GROUP OF ADMINS AND MODERATORS are in charge of the forum. Moderation is done collectively.
The rest.
We will look into this and come back to you.

Tech part.
There is a REPORT button in all posts which can be used for issues like this one.

[ashkor87]

Trolling is not one of the buttons!but thank you!

[ptmcmahon]

Just in general the last few months I've found the vibe overall on this forum has been growing rather negative. I'm mostly staying out of the tournament threads and sticking in the contest threads.

I'm thinking that post was a ... little ... over the line too and looks to be individually targeted as it is calling someone specifically a rookie.

[Suliso]

I agree. It shouldn't be too difficult to be less passive agressive on a tennis message board. Even if you think someone's pick is a mistake (agree with that too).
