Like seriously, I just went through the first 10 pages of this week's AEW thread. The first 6 pages are 95% people talking about the show, good or bad, incredibly "regular" "normal" posting. Ric Flair's signing gets announced on page 6, and the next 4 pages are about that and how people feel, in varying degrees of seriousness. This poo poo is so strange

CarlCX posted:I agree, but the precipitating offense here wasn't rivals.com pun names, it was a group antagonism meltdown. Which is part of what gets us here: I was going to keep my mouth shut because I hashed it out with EM.F in PMs but this is a really stupid probe. Elephant Ambush is not offering up feedback, I actually have no idea what the gently caress they're offering up besides lashing out at a bunch of people. I have no idea where anyone is getting the idea that I want to "gently caress with other people's emotions" and it actually makes me deeply uncomfortable that someone is malding this badly about everything I post and I wish anyone who is doing that would not read my posts, that's not why I come here. I would also love to hear more about what you're defining as "group antagonism" and to see some concrete examples of it since you have called it out. Was it when I was called "covered in poo poo", "feigning ignorance", a bad faith malicious troll or is that not the group antagonism you were referring to? Because the post I was probed for was me giving back negative energy to several posters who were giving it to me after I got fed up. There are some people here who love to hit others because they don't like their opinions and then smash the report button as soon as someone hits back and its kind of pathetic.

For my part, because I do believe I'm part of it, I don't actually have any issues with any posters. There are some posters that get on my nerves but I recognize that's a me issue and not a them issue. I don't like reading a bunch of negative posts about something I'm enjoying because it brings me down - but that's a me issue. In the future if I have issue with not enjoying a thread I will not call anyone out - I'll just bounce.

FWIW I was one of the people who reported Jungle Boy’s post. Felt like a big escalation from Shard saying they were leaving to Jungle Boy and Lamuella’s back and forth. Added nothing to the thread except making it all about them (Jungle Boy and Lamuella). I don’t wanna read that, nobody does. Also just imho but if a 6 hour probe on a Friday night is this distressing then it might be good to take some time away from the thread. This reminds me of a politics thread or, even more concerning, how the GBS Covid thread got at times.

yea ok posted:Every time this thread has this feedback loop, nobody has anything tangible to say besides "vibes" or "the thread is so bad!". Personally I have never had more negativity in my direction than when I started souring on the product and posting thoughts saying as much. I make it a point to try my best to never post about posters, but only about the product and my thoughts on it and the people involved. In my experience, the majority of people upset with the Vibes tend to be the ones who immediately make it the most personal, or are the quickest to say how dumb, stupid or fucktarded some crew that they made up in their head is. It's this. TKO is a great place to talk wrestling but no place will ever be perfect. If legitimately bad things get posted they can be reported and addressed. Other than that people gotta accept that others will have different experiences and opinions they bring to the discussion. In my opinion at least. In conclusion, make Eat My Fuc mod.

I read all this and I'm still blaming people who can't read dumb jokes without getting earnestly red hot mad and also post angry and earnestly about wrestling over those making dumb jokes. No one has a victim because they're expected to control themselves in public.

No one has a victim because they're expected to control themselves in public. its what made reading any of the pro-wrestling threads an awful experience imo. that and the overly horny posting when aew first started up but i've been told that it calmed down, aside from the time smarxist posted an unprompted zoomed in photo of kenny omega's groin like a weird freak.

I have no insight into the hearts and minds of any posters, and maybe some of the big threads have shifted away from feeling like low content free-floating 'ironic' hostility and catchphrases and hostile catchphrases and people doing extended bits and sentence fragments, but I do want to echo everyone who said "you can just... stop reading the threads." And you can ignore posters who bother you. They probably won't even notice or care, and you won't have to deal with any marginal to severe displeasure you once felt when seeing them post. The threads seem to be doing great without the people who don't want to post in them! The people posting in them do not seem to miss anyone who left. You've got to give the people what they want.

Mekchu posted:how about you gently caress off yourself? Okay, cut this out. Don't wade into a feedback thread to drop hot takes about something you by your own admittance don't even participate in or read and then lash out when someone calls that out. Posts like this help nothing and no one and just make things un-fun.

In my experience, the majority of people upset with the Vibes tend to be the ones who immediately make it the most personal, or are the quickest to say how dumb, stupid or fucktarded some crew that they made up in their head is. In doing my best to continue being transparent, I thought about if Elephant Ambush's post also needed a 'don't do this poo poo' punishment the way I was giving one to That DICK!'s and ultimately decided not to because, even though it's real fuckin' aggro and negative, rather than just an individual you're-a-shithead form of negativity it was an attempt at discussing the thing that's bothering them and it was happening in the feedback thread. In the AEW thread it'd be lovely and derailing and I would have hit it, but if there's a thread to try to talk about it, this is it. JUNGLE BOY posted:I was going to keep my mouth shut because I hashed it out with EM.F in PMs but this is a really stupid probe.

In equal transparency: I didn't probe you, Erin did, so I'll let Erin address it if they want because I don't want to speak for them. I came in to help with the aftermath, and one of the concrete examples I would give is, say, the 'everyone is covered in poo poo and you're dumb' post Elephant Ambush made that I probed them for, which you're now referencing angrily as an example of a thing that should have been punished for group antagonism, which I did, for explicitly that given reason, because I agree with you that it loving sucked. So I'm glad we're on the same page, I guess?

Maybe I am completely misunderstanding your earlier post here but I interpreted this as you saying EA's post was in response to group antagonism, not the source of it, so I guess I'm not sure what the earlier group antagonism being referenced is?

I think you're kind of misunderstanding it? Elephant Ambush posted:Yes clearly the problem is the people covered in poo poo and not the people spraying poo poo everywhere. Brilliant brain you have there Elephant Ambush was replying to what they perceived as group antagonism and I was trying to communicate that they were becoming the source of the thing they were mad about. Saying "you're railing against people doing group antagonism" is just a literal descriptor of what they posted.

people take posting about wrestling too loving serious is my only take and the new hot alternative thats nothing like wwe having its bloom starting to fade i think is driving posters insane as some try to keep up the positive vibes while others who have been through this before see the bad stuff so easily. also i think a 6er no matter what isnt that serious and not that big of a deal. its pretty much just a "hey shut the gently caress up right now" punishment that kind of only works when it happens ASAP that anyone not way too invested in posting on SA would completely miss doing anything else online or irl KungFu Grip fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Nov 4, 2023 |

wrestling is stupid and full of problematic individuals learn to lol instead of posting seriously about it or you will lose your mind the reason thsi forum is insufferable is that every time a wrestler is on tv we have to discuss with deep gravitas every hosed up thing they did they all suck as people we know we dont need to discuss and bring up their crimes unless its funny or relevant to whats happening

MJeff posted:You're never gonna be able to get people who used to love something and think it has become significantly worse to agree to disagree with people who think it's still good. That's not how people work, or at least, it's not how the people here work. The former group feels betrayed by the thing and annoyed that their feelings aren't being taken seriously by the latter group and the latter group is annoyed that the former group keeps trying to piss all over their good time and appears to exist in a completely alternate reality from them. It is just not a situation that's going to lead to positive interactions.
