Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

There are a lot of links to excellent matches in the best and worst matches of 2022. Is there a way to compile all the links effectively without having to search through posts to find the links?

I guess one could bookmark links after opening them but surely there’s a better way?

You mean like a "Best Matches by Year" kinda thread/sticky post?

I can probably automate that. Give me a week or so.

Kinda, I think? There are so many video links of matches posted throughout the year that get nominated that I would like to see but due to laziness/busyness and an influx of noms after an event, the video links tend to get lost … at least for me. I want to selfishly catch up if possible and see the nominated match so I can either nth or not.

I’m sorry if this is a dumb or unreasonable request.

That'd be really good for both MMA/combat sports and the wrestling stuff

Could the mod explain what some of their arbitrary rules are? I'd prefer to not get in trouble randomly if it can be helped.

if he already wanted out before the match why didnt he just walk out rather than going out like a geek

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Yeah I'm gonna go with "what."

How is this probable at all muchless for 18 hours? The reason given is total gibberish. Did somebody miss the post they were actually aiming for or something?

Yeah I don't get that probe either, might have been intended for someone else? Wouldn't be the first time that's happened. I'll try and get in contact with karmic about this.

The main rule is that one day each month the mod has to hand out multiple long, nonsensical probes or else the buttons will disappear. (If actual bad posting occurs outside of this day, idk, ask the MMA mod to handle it.)

And then a bunch of people ask about it in this thread and maybe the MMA mod intervenes, but no explanation is ever given. Anyways, see you all back in this thread this time next month!

So, there was a report calling out a joke that spermgod made in the ROH thread as being a dick. At first I looked at it and said, "oh this is a kind of dumb, dickish joke, but it's also its clearly a joke" then I read a post they made 40 minutes later in a different thread (the one quoted) where they are clearly still either thinking the exact same dickish joke is the height of comedy, or they are really just being a dick.

Who is that joke being dickish to? Gresham? Tony Khan?

calling jonathan gresham a geek for not doing something unprofessional is kind of dickish.

what is this first post because that second one doesn't read like a joke or being a dick at all

certainly not severely more of a dick than people have been about gresham (and other wrestlers) recently

he could have held TK up for more money or just walked out with the title but he diligently showed up to work with his boo boo face on, did the job, then threw a hissyfit after. geek mindset and thats why he'll never get over

I don’t think a joke about wrestling professionalism directed at someone who will never see it is worth a probe but that’s just me.

my belief was: you tell a joke once, whatever so long as it isn't actually too much or too far, you tell that same joke twice in one hour, I am going to scrutinize it more.

no, because the probation was apparently for saying the same thing in a different thread over a half hour later

Please just prob bad posts and don't probe goods posts. Reading tea leaves from the posts to figure out the true motive and probing for that is goofy.

i don't think it was a great post but also i think that when there's like five threads all talking about the same thing at once it's reasonable to forget you made a post in a different one before

There’s a million bad post and dumb jokes on this board, but these two about how it would be a good idea for a wrestler to be unprofessional was a step too far.

That’s not the point. It’s that no one can figure out what exactly he was probated for in the first place other than making a joke that you thought was mean?

It's just posting so all of the time lengths are arbitrarily too short and too long but yeah, people consider it a long probe. Especially for kind of dickish

Like again there are mean jokes about Gresham over his height here constantly. But saying he acted like a geek is the one that crosses a line?

I must stress that it only came up because a report had me thinking about that specific joke as being meanspirited and then I started looking at the context of seeing that joke twice from the same poster (over the course of less than an hour that I was reading in a shorter timespan).

This context makes way more sense but it's still kind of funny that you were like "Eh, just a joke" and then later saw the other post "Oh my God, that son of a bitch actually thinks Gresham is a geek. I'm gonna puke". I might be exaggerating a little but like lol
