Good luck, the games forum still has weirdos trying to perpetuate that poo poo.

Once you start posting about how you haven’t seen this poster before and whinging about perfidious outsiders you’re going down the dark path of the megathread meltdown

WWE is the X Box of wrestling companies.

Could the mods rename the Wrestlemania thread to something like "WWE Weeklies/PPV: DDTs of Our Lives" and add a rule of the thread being for shows discussion only?

i think we should ban the posters who accuse other posters of loving rape because they are watching RAW or Smackdown

i don't think the posters who point out that supporting wwe directly supports a man accused of sex trafficking is the problem. I think supporting WWE which is still run by a lot of folks who were directly involved in covering up the sex trafficking is the problem.

Sure, sounds reasonable to me.

I agree with these. There has been some bland trolling and disruptions in the thread (and worse that I've been doing my best to curtail) but nothing good comes from out-of-context accusations and bandying about potentially-triggering language. You can use the existing WWE thread for jokes and pointing out silly/bad poo poo in the product and even more serious news stories related to the promotion, but please keep major discussion of the lawsuit and related to the appropriate thread if just for Content Warning reasons, and please don't attack people randomly. And, yeah, try and at least be funny. There's a line between banter and attacks that I think has been crossed a little too often. Thanks, all.

you're right about that. and i'll say that was my supporting wwe with wanting to get some money out of the situation. I've sold it now and don't plan to buy it again. But you are right and I was wrong for doing it.

i genuinely didn't know where posters who had never posted about wrestling before were coming from to cause trouble here. i was honestly confused about what was happening and made a joke about it. someone has since pointed out that you and hoot are discussing what goes on in this forum in CSPAM and complaining about it for multiple pages and random posters from that thread are showing up here to say dumb poo poo.

I agree! I've been trying my best to crack down on that when it comes up and I hope that's coming across. People watching isn't an inherent issue, but lazily trolling people for caring about the lawsuit is, and I'm extremely anti-Handing It To Em.

Also, yeah, I think there's some miscommunication here. There have been people who have been reregistering and coming in to post lots of wild troll posts. Things are a little on edge right now with everything going on.

I mostly want to cut down on, even as a bit, phrases like "rape enthusiast" and "rape factory", at least outside of the CW-labeled thread. It sucks even as someone who idealogically Gets It to have to constantly run into flippant use of charged language. imo

Should have bought options cause then you can bet on the company to fail and win instead of just owning stock which supports the company.

I appreciate Erin trying to take a stance on the "rape lover" sort of language. I wouldn't call myself a WWE fan, and I'm aware of what Vince McMahon did, but I find that stuff a bit weird and unsettling and I don't think anything good comes out of it on the forum.

You should see what gets bandied about in the DMs it’s hosed up beyond belief, the flippant use of words like that by people who are also claiming a moral high ground over you is ironic and just shoes they care more about owning the opposition than justice

If certain parties aren't showing up to just use "I'm just watching the show! What's wrong with that!" as very thin cover to troll people who understand that WWE's main revenue stream is directly tied to their viewership and understands exactly what the people in power in that company use the money they get from that viewership for, then surely the "WWE Weeklies/PPV Live Discussion: DDTs of Our Lives" thread neatly solves this entire issue and it won't be a dead unused husk within a couple weeks.
