That EA probe feels like we've put the bar for posting that is too horny way to high compared to other horny probes.

But also it's a sixer so not the end of the world

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
I was wondering why that was a probation. I thought it was a joke probe.

A no horny posting rule is good because horny posting is cringe but didn't really feel like that.

Anyway it's a sixer who gives a gently caress, it's probably over by now.

Oh yeah if it's a joke I totally missed it. Yeah, to be 1000% clear my entire feeling on it is "That one? Ok I guess but eh" so I thought I'd say that.

Honestly just feels like it's a slippery slope. Once there's a precedent for "but it was just a joke!", it opens the door IMO. In the end, just don't make the post to begin with.

Also I tend to be able to look past stuff if I think it's just dumb, but if someone takes the time to report a post and their report isn't a joke I look at it differently.

yeah the post was probably a joke but it was also weird and like iggy said sixers are a pretty harmless way to get a point across lightly without being heavy handed about it - most people that get them don't even realize it until they look at their rap sheet later lol

Oh, I saw slur and assumed someone was being racist or something. I guess I never identified the c-word as a slur but vulgar and lovely depending on the context (and I guess geographical location, too).

Nobody is allowed to post in the AEW thread while the mods are asleep anymore.

Yeah I'm from the UK so my barometer is not well calibrated when it comes to that word but it was certainly referred to as a slur in the thread

Going to make this very clear, again, going forward as it's becoming an issue: Someone stating "I do not like XXX" is not a personal attack.

Responding with something like "I liked the promo and here's why I thought it worked" is good and promotes discussion. "LOL get worked nub" is dismissive and starts arguments.

MJeff posted:

It's 0930 here and unfortunately my forums provided crystal ball is in the shop. Punishments have been meeted (moted? gently caress it's too early for grammar) out and discussions are happening.

Edit: The C word is considered a slur via forum rules and is only allowed in certain threads where it being verboten would cause people's brains to collapse, ie the UK and Aussie threads.

EditEdit: Ganso put this much better in the thread so I am going to post it here as well.

Ganso Bomb posted:

Love to wake up to a thread completely making GBS threads itself over nothing.

Can we all agree that to the wrestling fan, none of this poo poo is life and death? We had several pretty good weeks of the AEW thread being normal and not a giant pain in the rear end. Then, suddenly, there's one promo that some people liked and some people didn't like and everyone's heads exploded.

Nobody is going to come set your friends and family on fire because you liked or didn't like a wrestling promo, or any other aspect of a wrestling show.

Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, even if they have the audacity to be the opposite of your opinions. Nobody needs to get poo poo on for whatever they like/dislike and the thread really doesn't need a multi-page derail with petty snipes and stupid bitching.

Is it possible to just talk about wrestling like normal people? To not take everything personal or feel the need to lash out at someone because they feel a different way? Why is it so many people's kneejerk reaction to be sarcastic and antagonistic pricks?

Can everyone just take like 30 steps back, take a few deep breaths, and come back to the thread with a clear head and try not to start any stupid arguments? Is it possible to just discuss the thing we like without losing our minds?

People are too quick to jump into fights around here, too much animosity. I think it’s time the AEW thread implements the Gen Thread’s “say good morning and good night to each other” self-imposed rule. It turned an already great thread into a real, genuinely positive community.

Good evening

US cultural imperialism wins the day again, destroying my culture of using the c-word as punctuation to the point where it has lost any & all meaning

(I'm joking, obviously, I don't think I even really use it much in my posts unless I'm talking about politics, which obviously doesn't happen so much in this sub-forum.)

This is a wonderful idea. Although can there be exceptions for people like me who only post in there maybe once every two months if that?

It's not just in the AEW thread. The general WWE and Bad Take threads are filled with posters jumping on each other. If somebody mentions that they once enjoyed an Undertaker match, we're treated to a barrage of people falling over themselves to explain that Undertaker is a Blue Lives boomer idiot and you're wrong for ever liking him. It makes some tedious reading and kills any other line of discussion.

It really doesn't feel like it happens that often in the WWE thread. Which I only read because it is an order of magnitude less busy that the AEW thread.

It's been true in the past for sure and it isn't free from this on occasion but definitely isn't "filled" or "a barrage" or anything like that.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The Bad Takes thread is literally a thread devoted to finding opinions everyone can mock and laugh at. So like it’s hardly surprising that peoples natural response in that environment would be to mock and laugh at opinions they don’t like or agree with. It’s the established culture.

Good luck with your depression!
As an old goon I think it's just a sign of the times that people are jumpy online. Everyone everywhere is real stressed right now and the anonymity of forums makes it easy to pick fights even when everyone involved probably knows better. Idk, I think things are going pretty ok but I'm not a good barometer for tracking behavior since I'm basically the guy from Momento except for posting. As for hornyposting imho I think that's in good spot right now and the occasional sixer, even if a bit much at times, is good just to keep it in check. Just an lil bonk to tamp things down. I hope you have a good day and know that you the reader are a cool person who matters, namaste.
