my suggestion for the growth and prosperity of jase's great space: ban the use of the phrases "bad faith" and "good faith" as they pertain to posting

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Tbh I struggle to understand what bad faith even means in the context of this forum. Joke posts? Most joke posts are very obviously joke posts so I'm confused.

Any criticism of AEW is done in bad faith. This is my good faith argument.

If you don’t understand the joke and/or the poster is an Epic Rereg Guy and/or on your personal list of Posting Enemies then the post was made in Bad Faith.

To make an attempt to engage with the original post I don't think banning phrases is really going to make the change they want to achieve because people will just come up with alternative ways to say the same thing

that is an accurate scoop, i feel like people having to use their words to actually describe what they mean by "Bad Faith" would be a net positive gain

Would anyone care if the AEW TV Deal thread gets renamed to the AEW Business thread since it seems to be moving that direction.

I was meaning to request something like this anyway, but just kept forgetting. How about "AEW Business & Ratings: Now is the Quarter-Hour Seven of our Discontent"?

I don't wanna put too fine of a point on it being the only place to discuss ratings, 'cause those get posted in the main thread every week, but there have been times where people get sick of talking about them in the main thread, plus I think it's useful to have all the ratings and quarters over a long period of time in one thread for macro-level discussions, so I would kind of like to note that in the title.

I'll also quote this in that thread to see if anybody there has any suggestions.

There's an extension (TamperMonkey) with a true ignore user script for SA that works really well and was easy to add to my Chrome browser. Completely hides ignored user posts, including in non-ignored user quotes of them

My hope is one day the workaround won't be needed, like how there was a similar workaround for a dark mode version of the site for years until a bit ago when we finally got a dark mode feature setting for the site proper

This works great! Thank you!

can we do away with posting vague clickbait fightful select tweets without a summary of the information in the 'article' - they're basically as annoying as rovert posting and posting vague tweets behind a paywall is really stupid

I'd rather have people post those tweets than say something like "I heard" or "x said" followed by the contents of the tweet warped through their own speculation.

sorry you took this personally because it wasn't about you, and you didn't ruin my day or whatever the dunk attempt was there

the only thing I was asking for is requiring a summary below the tweet of what is actually behind the paywall if someone is going to vaguepost it

often times people already do this, which is nice - you not doing that this time you can take personally if you really need to I guess?

Might be missing something but I feel like a dedicated news thread becomes kind of useless unless you ban news posts from the proper discussion threads, at which point you would just be linking back to the news thread anyway and then discussing the quoted post when it could have just been directly posted in the first place. Anyone know how the old ones worked?

Although I do think a fully kayfabed ridiculous news thread where everyone acts like the headlines are real would be fun. We used to have one where WCW won the war.

I usually take the SRS tweets as an unspoken "Anyone with a sub have the scoops brother?" request. I do have a sub because I am a sucker and can check real quick if I see them.

Not sure how it was in the old days but I don't see a problem with having a thread that just aggregates all the wrestling news for all the promotions and the business as a whole and additionally have promotion specific news show up in the discussion threads. It'll probably just naturally shift to the news thread after a bit if it catches on but even if news are still posted in the other threads it's not going to hurt anybody. Hell, some people will probably get their scoops from the news thread and repost them in the other relevant places.
