As we proved with the continental classic, its impossible for wrestling fans to understand a round robin tournament. We never did find out why eddie kingston was wrestling himself.

Gassing the thread is obviously not a real option, but I dunno, I feel like we're at the point where we can stop pretending the latest "just asking questions" guy is gonna suddenly straighten up and fly right.

I'm all for removing the WWE thread, OBVIOUSLY, but some people want to talk about it UNFORTUNATELY, but maybe giving the gimmick poster a forum ban could be a good idea.

It was dumb as gently caress of me in the past when I ever let a post here make me IRL mad.

Don’t go in threads about poo poo you hate and make yourself a mark for trolling because if it’s that easy to piss you off you have to serious post about it of course there will be people who do it to laugh at you if setting you off is as easy as “I post about the thing the thread is about”. Who cares if it’s disingenuous, don’t look at it.

why ban entire threads because of two or three shitheads when you can just ban the shitheads instead

You're right.

I just want to talk wrestling. I do think people should just, y'know, ignore uninteresting threads or posters and no-sell bad bits, and there's not enough Just Scrolling Faster, but I also understand the frustration boring posts can have on the end-user experience. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. People get away with easy trolling, it riles people up because most of us have some kind of posting ego, the cycle continues. It's all dull and sucks for everyone. I'll try to curtail it better.

I'm not gassing the WWE thread and I'm not going r/prowrestling and banning WWE talk because frankly that's stupid. I might remake it in the future with some guidelines in the OP, though, probably after this weekend since I have a wedding I'm going to.

Cry 'Mayhem!' and let slip the dogs of Wardlow.
The WWE thread could just be the 3 people who actually watch WWE but no one has the self-control to just let them sniff each other's farts. I promise that if everyone who didn't give a hoot about WWE stopped posting in the WWE thread it would fade away. I'm marking the WWE threads unread so I don't get tempted to wander back in there and see the same dumb rear end poo poo.

E. For example it's been a whole week since the "Weekly WWE" thread got a new post even though there have been 3 WWE shows since the last post.

Maybe if people were punished by some kind of forum authority pushing the buttons that make them have to knock it the gently caress off they’d stop doing bad bits, just thinking out loud
