"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Before EPA got made I thought it was a poo poo idea because the justification was basically "I want to make jokes on a wrestling forum and not be told that Jericho is a Trumper" but now I post there and enjoy posting about wrestling on a forum for the first time in a long time and this somehow also made me more active on PSP itself.

Clearly, the only solution is a third wrestling forum for getting mad at the two others.

For the record, I was never against TEPA, rather it's just that I'm not funny enough to post there. Which has been confirmed by my posts in TEPA.

If I felt any pressure to be funny I'd never make any posts anywhere. I'm not kidding. It's mostly just chill most of the time. It's kind of like a pro-wrestling imp-zone that's also like a pro-wrestling BYOB. It's more like, most with love and if you are funny while doing that it's a bonus.

On one hand, I want to believe that we can all separate the Undertaker from Mark Callaway. But then again, I also wouldn't want to associate with Hulk Hogan despite him not being Terry Bollea. Ah well.

Could we not put direct spoilers in thread titles right after a show happens? I’m gonna guess I’m not the only one who opens this forum to check the MOTYC thread to see what people think of a show before watching it on VOD. Me being an idiot and opening the corresponding thread and getting spoiled is one thing, getting spoiled immediately just clicking the forum open is another. Thanks

Yes. I would hope no one thinks it's a great idea to put spoilers in titles. Apparently, I'm wrong.

Thankfully I'm weird enough to have this thread bookmarked and decided to click on it before looking at the PSP index. So whatever it is, I'm safe. For now.

E: lol never mind, went to the wrestling questions thread. Foolish of me to use the internet before watching a wrestling show. At least now I can safely go to Twitter and the other hives of spoilers and villainy.

Please, kindly gently caress off. Even if those are fake spoilers, which I can't be sure about, that poo poo is not funny.

im not walking on eggshells to discuss wrestling when it airs. if i miss out and dont want the results spoiled before i can watch matches, i dont go to the forum that discusses the results and aftermath of those matches before i watch.

talking about something that hasnt aired yet? thats a spoiler, perfectly reasonable to be upset about if that result gets out. talking about a match thats been built to for over a month with a clearly advertised and posted time when said match is going to occur, in the most popular promotion of the forum in the immediate hours following the match? no, that's not a spoiler.

Yeah, no, you're being a dick.

Finding an unmarked spoiler in a thread to discuss that promotion in particular is fair game. Even in the MOTYC thread I don't mind, but in a thread title or a completely unrelated thread not so much. I really can't stay up till 4am to watch a show that begins at 2am for me when I have to work the next day. Trust me, I'd love to, it's really fun. But I gotta pay the bills to watch the wrestling.

do i think that we should be considerate in thread titles and keeping threads on topic? yes. do i think we should be spoiler tagging results that have aired lives in avenues where they are expected to be free reign to discuss? no.

Yes, I completely agree. I'm glad we do.

Then what is your point here exactly? Because no one's saying no one should talk about the match until the entire world has seen it. But it's reasonable not to expect results so soon after a show in unrelated threads. Or the index of the forum in a thread title.

I go to the AEW thread? Yeah, that's on me, I'm a massive idiot for thinking to get away spoiler-free here.

The social media thread? my bad, but I know the risks.

Bad takes thread? Should have known better.

I don't know what the title was because I didn't see it but I assume it was something involving the word draw------ or something similar. Which yeah, makes me assume it's the result of a match and there's one obvious candidate if you know the card and it got more obvious the longer it got..

It was a bummer that that got spoiled for me. Could have been the thread title, but I didn't even look at any threads until I saw an unmarked spoiler in this thread. And no I don't want Stone Cold to be punished in any way nor am I gonna hold a grudge over wrestling. Plus we gave him enough poo poo for one day. It could have easily been the thread title, though. ButI also don't want MrT to get called to a meeting with the CEO. Just maybe people could be more careful with spoilers that are only a few hours old in places where everyone can see it and no one expects it.

For real we should maybe consider getting rid of the bad takes thread, though. I say this as someone who reads it, a lot. I enjoy it sometimes but more than I enjoy it I spend time getting mad at other people online- I find it compulsive to hateread, and overall it's absolutely bad for me, and I can't imagine I'm the only one here who that's the case for.

It doesn't help to enjoy our hobby to be miring in the opinions of assholes on it, forever.

I don't think it's a good idea to remove the containment thread for bad takes. Because people will still post them. Just more spread out. If you find the thread "compulsive to hateread" that that seems more like something you should work on than anything the forums moderation should take care of. When I find a thread that may be bad for me I just don't click on it. Sometimes I don't want to look at the thread either so I don't. Hell, sometimes I tune out of the normally benign AEW thread because people have weird-rear end takes about wrestlers sometimes or the wrestling questions thread whenever it devolves into people googling match records and stuff for other people. There's many reasons for why you might want to tune out for a bit. So just do that.

This isn't about "don't read it if you don't want to" it's about "help I am compelled to read this and I cannot stop, please gas the thread"

there's a difference between somebody posting their feelings about whatever in a discussion thread and the compulsion to go "time to search Twitter for some specific terms to see if some two follower nobody with a username ending in eighty numbers has bad thoughts about it so I can share them with others for some reason," which is like eighty percent of the bad takes zone, sometimes followed by other people drilling into Marcus1837320's tweet history to discover that they not only don't like AEW, they also don't think vaccines work. it's just hunting for reasons to be mad.

constantly feeding a cycle of being mad at social media users you would never actually be exposed to otherwise is a giant waste of time and energy.

I wasn't so sure anymore after a while because they quietly dropped the RSF from the subforum's name (Unless I'm imagining it was there at the start. But I'm pretty sure.) and then opened another RSF that got removed again after like a month or so. But people got about as much out of TEPA as they can, probably. For the time being. Maybe it'll be resurrected one day for some reason, who knows?

It's extremely weird to me that people get mad about the jack-off thread now like it wasn't all shits and giggles rather than jizz. It's kind of funny how people point at it and go "big yikes" now.

One of my last posts in the other forum was a statement that I had never clicked on the jack off thread, literally out of fear.

That's it.

it was like a horror movie, my imagination a thousand times worse than the reality could ever be. I filled in all the blanks with the most horrible thoughts, but in the end it was just... names...
