Genuine question:

What's the point of the Ignore User feature when all of their lovely posts show up in other people's quotes anyway?

I know the answer is always "just ignore them." The forums don't actually have a working ignore mechanism.

There's an extension (TamperMonkey) with a true ignore user script for SA that works really well and was easy to add to my Chrome browser. Completely hides ignored user posts, including in non-ignored user quotes of them

My hope is one day the workaround won't be needed, like how there was a similar workaround for a dark mode version of the site for years until a bit ago when we finally got a dark mode feature setting for the site proper

I've tried to keep quiet about this, but hey, over the past 10 months, there's been a lot of super cutesy posts about "wouldn't it be funny if CM Punk immediately injured himself again, I'm technically not wishing injury on him, I'm just CONSTANTLY talking about how funny it would be and how much I would personally enjoy it if he suffered a long-term injury immediately upon returning to the ring".

Can we like, knock it the gently caress off, maybe? If we did this about any other wrestler, it would correctly be called out as the hosed up thing it is. If somebody said "oh man, wonder if Hangman Page is gonna concuss himself again on his first bump!" or "oh man, I sure would love it if Kris Statlander is gonna blow out her knee again five seconds into her first title defense!", it would be regarded as a very hosed up thing to say. And yes, I know, you think this is a disingenuous analogy and these examples are appreciably different because you like those wrestlers, but you don't like CM Punk. Congratulations on liking one wrestler and not liking another one.

The dude came back. He wrestled a match. He didn't dive off anything. He didn't get injured. You had your fun. Can we just stop?

My default is to assume all new accounts are re-regs of either perma’d or merely-probated-but-still-wanna-post accounts. Example: the two new permas in the last 12 hrs in the Leper’s Colony

I also like and advocate for Shard's suggestion in a prior thread of not being afraid to use the Ignore button. It's there for a (good) reason. If you feel it's not extremely effective, I'd also recommend use of the True Ignore extension if you're not on mobile

if someone wants to make a only positive stuff about wwe thread I'll gladly not post in it nor ruin anyone's fun because I'll respect what they're going for with that particular thread but turning any promotions general discussion thread into a good vibes only thread is weird because there's definitely a difference

Next time random ppl who never post here or are on obvious alts decide to show up to defend the people/company involved in one of the most stomach churning disgusting things I’ve ever read about, can we just get rid of them instead of closing the thread during one of the biggest stories in said company’s history?

Quick tutorial for people: windows key+shift+s on windows.

Modern image hosting is a pain in the rear end, whether on desktop (Photobucket in general wants everyone paying minimum $5month/$50yr to view images let alone post them) or mobile (Imgur app broken, SA app broken); meanwhile Twitter has always embedded for me as long as it's in the twitter.com format, and it takes way less effort and time to change your url from x to twitter after a plain copy-paste (and type a summary if needed too, that's always a good thing in general) than to figure out what image-hoster works at the moment and isn't currently on a subscription-service-only plan and is supported on this site

The whole spoiler topic was started this time specifically because it happened in the AEW thread; since AEW the company has a) posted about it on twitter and b) shown the literal result physically happening on its own programming, it should be fair game there now, if it wasn’t already when only a) applied, and hate should be directed to AEW, not the posters
