Serious question, what do you expect people to post as a summary with it if they aren’t a subscriber so have absolutely no information to add other than the twitter scoopster’s vaguepost? It would be kind of dumb to just say “well don’t post them if you don’t have the scoop” because it’s still new information at least even if it doesn’t have all the facts yet. Or when SRS tweets poo poo like “AEW star had their dick twisted all the way off in a backstage altercation, more information for Fightful Select subscribers later” so the summary isn’t even available yet?

Critical posted:I usually take the SRS tweets as an unspoken "Anyone with a sub have the scoops brother?" request. this is basically all I was asking for if you post a srs vaguepost, include a summary of any real information that is behind the paywall or just don't post it History Comes Inside! posted:Serious question, what do you expect people to post as a summary with it if they aren’t a subscriber so have absolutely no information to add other than the twitter scoopster’s vaguepost? If it's just clickbait with absolutely no info how about just not posting it because that's basically just an advertisement

IGgy IGsen posted: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. Imma shrug and say  for whoever wants to make it and we can see if it floats. Would suggest it be news and not gossip, ie no posting some rando on the birdsite with 100 followers with sources saying CM Punk has been compromised to a permanent end or whatever horseshit they post to get attention. We all know who this includes.

Orange Carlisle posted:this is basically all I was asking for That’s a super niche hangup to have and I think you’re being very unrealistic to expect the rest of the forum to cater to you. People like to post about the scoops and speculate about the scoops and then someone eventually turns up with the scoops. Maybe even sometimes the people with the subs didn’t know there was a scoop to go see until they saw the tweet in the thread, so they’re prompted to go bring us the scoop!

Critical posted: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. This is still my greatest contribution to the forums. I agree that while I like the idea of a "scoops" thread, in practice it would probably lead to a lot of cross-posting and split discussion based on whether something ended up in the AEW/WWE threads first with an "anyone have a sub?" post or the scoops thread first. I'm not sure if that's reason enough not to try it, though.

Didn't know there would be anyone WWE and AEW would be fighting over at the moment that wasn't contracted. And if yall keep slapfighting I'm going to mod challenge you to write essays on why the perfectplex is the best finisher of all time.

Start a thread where everyone has to post their pattern subscriptions so we know who is just posting a tweet and who is posting it while deliberately withholding the scoops

Orange Carlisle posted: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 Eh, I don't think they really negatively impact threads and this feels too much like D&D homework rules to be a thing we should enforce with probs or something. Maybe try a nice request over punishment though? Like when someone posts it you can post "oh, I don't subscribe. Can you explain it?" Like, I'm for posting it here as a request for people but I don't think it's something we should probe for at all.

This was a tremendously dumbass post but did it really warrant a probe like 18 hours later after one of the actually active mods had already probed the same poster like 2-3 posts later for another equally dumbass post in the same thread?

well i don't know about all of that. a little less advocacy for the devil goes a long way. at least for the poo poo devil. hardly anybody needs to be rudely confronted about when they don't like to see and smell some big pieces of poo poo. hooey. and it seems like that's been addressed

i'd like to see these tags made available to use in the subforum.    and please remove 'dog fights'; that type of humor isn't appreciated and makes me sad to think about when it's seen.
