"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
This is the best place to post about wrestling. It's not perfect, but what is? I guess I wish people would chill out more about certain topics.

My main problem with it is that I often feel like I can't post in the discussion threads because life was too busy and I couldn't watch Dynamite yet. This is no one's fault but my boss'.

I no longer work from home and my performance metrics got worse ever since I stopped being able to shitpost during work. This is not even a joke, it's actually true.

There's criticisms about the moderation here, and yea, I agree. You don't need a whole day where a sixer is more than enough and also actually be there.

Man, whatever happened to that Stone Cold 64 guy who mysteriously disappeared? I wish he still posted here. He was god's favorite IK.

I'm interested in this discussion, and maybe I can contribute that, from a moderating perspective, one of the issues is that near-everyone sees their own aggression (or dunking, especially dunking) as righteous. It means that people are constantly asking you that their own posts are exceptions to the rule, often paired with a request to punish their posting enemies.

This is pretty accurate. I’m not sure it’s actually necessary for anyone to take it on themselves to drive bad posters away.

yea ok

This place is good, it's by far the best place to talk about wrestling, I just wish people didn't take things so seriously sometimes. People can get real god drat aggro/defensive at the drop of a hat. About wrestling!!
I think it's a clash of ways of approaching this place (and posting in general) that leads to a lot of misinterpretations of intent. For example, I post here because, primarily, it's fun to me. It's entertainment. I like reading and posting dumb crap. The sillier the better. Some people want to discuss things, maybe even debate some stuff. That's fine too! But don't expect me to care as much as you do about certain things. I'm here to have a good time, not to convince anyone or be convinced of anything. Thank you.

Yeah, something I try to be aware of as a poster is that I bounce around and it can be tough to read intent because of that. Sometimes I want to make really bad poo poo posts about stanning Charlotte because it's funny. Sometimes I want to make serious posts about the art of story telling in pro wrestling. It can be tough to read a post and know which one I'm making if I do both.

Good luck with your depression!
I like the livethreads a lot and look forward to posting with all my PSP pals every week. I love to hoot (and hollar) about all the wrassling. Like when one wrestler does a big slam on another wrestler and lots of peeps go "WHOA" or "BIG SLAM!" Good times.

I would also like to say that I like seeing new people here posting about the wrestlers and shows they like. It's been happening more and more as AEW has been slowly snowballing popularity and WWE's recent transitions being in the news. Maybe it would be good to have separate New To Wrasslin/New To MMA threads? Idk, I'm just brainstorming ideas only my brain doesn't work very well these days, just a thought!

Anyway it's a good ol forum we got here. Those are my thoughts ty for reading

"And the DICK?"

I think that if someone makes a joke post and someone flips out about it, the flipper outer should be told soothing things like “chill out dog” and not assume the joking post was an attempt to troll.

I think just some more active participation from mods would be nice, yeah. things get really fighty real fast in the aew threads these days and it makes me enjoy reading both the live and weekly threads less and less. when disagreements start bc two people have wildly different takes on what actually happened on a TV show (not even opinions, just literal facts) it'd be nice to have someone both able to step in between and knowledgeable enough to know which person isn't pulling stuff out of their rear end

I do think things have moved away from people being outright trolly and posting dumb takes as a Comedy Bit, at least, which is nice? or at least people as a whole have gotten better at knowing who does it often and ignoring them instead of taking the bait
