Seth Rollins posted:can you please define what counts as "horny posting" with some examples of what is and is not allowed. i feel like this rule is too vague The early days of AEW threads where people kept posting how thirsty they were for The Librarian girl's butt is a good example I would say. Like it wasn't "goddamn she has an rear end that id like to touch" level stuff but more so, "oh and Lena's butt  " in the midst of talking about the episode etc. got pretty weird pretty fast.

mfcrocker posted:Not particularly, I don't have faith that telling the admins that a goon is predating on goons off-site would lead to action (in fact I'd fully expect them to shrug their shoulders and say "oh well its not our problem"), but it's better than nothing. I am only gonna speak for the combat sports discord I link in the monthly UFC thread but if anything like that ever happens please get in comtact with me immediately (obviously with supporting evidence). I wont tolerate that on that discord, and promise to hound an admin to take it seriously.

piratepilates posted:. Yeah i mever heard that line either and would stand by a 6er for it. Its gross in and out of a vacuum for multiple reasons. The Brazilian Tap thing is fine imo as thats less about nationality/race and more about "guy who is too proud to accept an L" which is coupled with a bunch of Brazilian fighters openly accepting their losses. Its mocking the "too proud to admit defeat" folk by way of an old meme.

Also while I'm not super knowledgeable about Sumo and most of Japan's culture surrounding it, I do think the discussions people have had about the efficacy and ethics of their training regimes is acceptable discussion so long as it doesn't stray too close to orientalism (which to be fair Fluffdaddy did call out once before he was a moderator and the thread moved into Fight Island) and sticks mainly to more constructive or helpful explanations about how what those guys go through is absurdly bad for their bodies. Aside from overeating to weigh more. However if people feel its getting gross, I think most of the sumo posters are more than willing to accept that view and stop the discussion from going too far into that negativity.

Rarity posted:It's real cool that people complaining about good posters being driven off this forum created an environment where CJ2 got driven off this forum Nobody drove CJ2 off and this sort of phrasing/passive aggressive posting doesn't help anything either. Edit 1 - If someone sent a death threat then that's pretty lovely, but that doesn't mean any criticism about CJ2 automatically becomes invalid. Edit 2 - Just saw the J-Ru remark after posting this. Gonna not talk any further on it. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Oct 2, 2020 |

It was a snide and snippy post even if it wasnt meant to be mocking someone getting a death threat which given their previous snide/snippy post about horny posting getting them a probation they should have already known this wasnt the place for that stuff.

Oddly the combat sports folk have had zero issue with saying funny things that dont violate the rules nor seem to have any major issues with the guidelines on what is or isn't acceptable either. I would say plenty of humor is able to created under these rules. At least on our end

The last 10 or so posts preceeding this cavauro post below that I'm responding to are pretty weird and silly and seem to be straying wildly off topic for this thread.Cavauro posted:i don't like how you warn & silence people for being funny because they are snarky or too curt and then do the shrug emote about Sensible jokes being copy/pasted. I don't care about the jokes being repeated actually, but the combo of the previous things coexisting feels stupid and bad for the forum to me. I understand this won't change and people say gently caress off about it. Thank you. You're conflating what Jerusalem wrote down as the rules, and my take on them as a non-moderator. I think if you're just gonna blindly post "haha adam cole short" ad nauseum then yeah it'll likely end with a 6er for shitposting. My "shrug" emote was aimed at how in the combat sports threads we don't seem to have nearly as many problems with people not only understanding and following the rules, but not getting all upset over them like the pro-wrestling folk seem to. I should have used the  emote I guess.sk posted:nah, there's definitely Bad Feedback that won't be useful at all, but "please stop posting the same worn out joke in every thread" is good feedback that would (imo) make the subforum better. i personally don't think there's a way to make that enforceable with probes/bans, but it's not too helpful to threadshit (e: not calling out anyone in particular) in response instead of actually addressing it, in the thread expressly for giving and addressing feedback There is certainly bad feedback. There is also a fair bit of white noise in the feedback thread which makes it a bit more annoying to find the good or at least useful feedback. You're not entirely wrong but also not exactly right either. We already have rules about what is or is not acceptable stuff to remark or joke about with the "dont be gross" stuff as well as "no racism/homophobia/etc." rules. However I'd argue that jokes like "Adam Cole is short" isn't really a thing to give a probation about. Just that those who dislike it can simply ignore it as its low effort. How people think its "too hard to be creative" in this subforum is beyond me, which I said before. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Oct 16, 2020 |

yea ok posted:Out of curiosity, what goes into the decision making behind selecting the IKs? I mean this for Brut, Mekchu and CJ2 as well. I promise this isn't an interrogation or a 'gotcha' question From my end, Athanatos came to me and said "do you wanna be IK for Fight Island? Someone there really likes you and thinks you'd do a good job." To which I said "um....sure?" And then I was given buttons and a long post about how to do probations that I have never read because I am honestly quite lazy. That is literally how I got the IK title.

Cavauro posted:I agree with the above posters that you should stop punishing anyone in GDTs unless they say horrific things. I disagree. Else you'll have people like me who don't reallyw atch pro wrestling going into the pro-wrestling threads constantly going "LOL YOU ARE WATCHING THIS? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU" etc. ad nauseum and it gets old fast. That sort of drive by shitposting isn't really accepted in the sports GDT threads I've read (granted that was ages ago), and we don't really jive with it in the MMA threads. We wanna talk about the event, not kpop videos for Red Velvet (who i will say make good gym music). Like if the theme of the event was "Monster" and you posted that video, then i'd be here saying it was a good post and worth defending because it had something to do with the event. Just like I'm gonna post a Jay Park music video in the UFC GDT tomorrow since that's related to the event (look up "Brian Ortega Jay Pak" for that specific context)

With regards to Streetbeefs: Yes I was the one who closed it and gassed that thread. I didn't know how to goldmine and honestly even the ending with the organizer wanting to fight Marching Powder for his light trolling/real talk wasn't really super hilarious. Maybe an admin can move it if that's possible if they disagree. I personally didn't like that thread from the get go and the premise of Streetbeefs to me didn't fit PSP/FI. Not that I feel we're above crazy carny poo poo, hell we talk about Fight Circus and I love the Calcio Storico stuff (and you should go watch it), but to me streetbeefs was basically just organized WSHH videos with a vague premise/story behind them. Add in that they had terrible structure for its "arena", incompetent refs (yes i get the irony from an MMA perspective), and just didn't pay their 'fighters' despite getting sponsorship and YouTube views etc. Personally, I don't want it to come back. If people overwhelmingly are for it being in PSP/FI then sure I'll concede and help keep an eye on it. I think its best in GBS personally but that's just my opinion. I don't claim to hold any power over if it can be posted here, I just wanted to weigh in as the person responsible for it. I prefer to watch and laugh at stuff, and Streetbeefs just made me feel depressed for some reason that MMA/Ganryujima/Wotore/BKFC doesn't.

I save probes for egregious stuff but like 95% of my probes given out are for comedy or bets, and I let the others in the thread either stamp out bad discussions, or if the majority of the thread are participating in something that doesn't actively break rules then let them have the fun. Eg. dunking on Brandon Schaub. Sometimes offtopic discussions can be good and fun. It's how we got the saga of oildome. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Oct 27, 2020 |

NienNunb posted:I wonder why the guy who viewed him as a malicious gimmick poster out to ruin threads didn't fairly punish both parties. Dude. He already explained why and stepped down as moderator at this point. We are a day past that incident and it was a 6er not a lengthy probation. I think it was a nad probation but this right here in particular is just beating a dead horse now. I'd rather non snippy remarks like this and LC to be the norm and just people offer solutions or remedies rather than trying tonshame someone for a bad move they made. The former helps, the latter just comes off as white noise.

Also Athanatos made a post in QCS or something. Basically, if a post is reported thats it. There's no more reports alotted to that post and you get the "this post was already reported" response. I feel like that is an area in need of a lot of fixing but thats a code jockeys job and not something I can help.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. The moderation here is legitimately good, and at its best this forum can be really fun. Rather than a subforum specifically as an IZ for wrestling, couldn't that be done with a more generalized "sports imp zone" approach?

Shine posted:The first part of that post was an incorrect assumption, as discussed above. Granted I'm on my phone at the moment and not at the admin panel, but as of a few hours ago, they had not reregged. I would argue directly harassing based on a disagreement over pro-wrestling someone based off their race/gender/sexual orientation etc. is something that warrants more than just a ban+probe.

Shine posted:I bypassed our usual process to ban a bigot without running it by the mods, and made it clear that it'll be upgraded to a perma if they act a fool again. They're gone, likely for good, and they'll be handled harshly if they come back and keep their bit up. Sorry this doesn't please everybody, but I'm done going in circles about this. People have been banned for less egregious posts. lol? Edit - Like what is the process to ban a bigot on SA? It's always been a "no gently caress off, that's a ban" approach, not a "well first we must convene a quorum of the elder mods (those who have not fallen on their swords for cartoon porn in QCS) to then have a preliminary meeting about the merits of what is or is not bannable."

Shine posted:I feel like you're misunderstanding what happened here. Cheers for the clarification as yeah there was a misunderstanding of what you meant. Mainly due to basically anytime mods/admins go "we are discussing it"/"following procedure" in any situation similar to this, it has been pretty much a universal net negative. (eg. see the Flavius stuff recently where people called for him to be demodded for months for his shittiness & petty probes/bans, Bobbiewickham, etc.) You stepping in was good and fine. Why its not a perma if its apparently someone who everyone in the thread agrees is a blatant rereg who came by to stir up poo poo is beyond me since its pretty clear they only came by to cause problems, again.
