"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.

To get real for a minute, one thing I severely disagree with is anyone saying particular jokes or styles of joke/troll posting are “played out” or acting as if moderation of these things are in any way necessary. Just because you don’t find posting C*dy hilarious , or saying we have to look at a wrestler’s Twitter likes funny, doesn’t mean others do not enjoy these posts. I for one love them. I love the jokes and good natured trolls here. I love getting told I’m a big idiot if I post a bad opinion. If you see a joke post and don’t find it funny, unless it’s something malicious about someone then who cares? Life is bad enough for people, there’s no need to claim that certain jokey post styles are “exhausting” when seeing the words C*dy Rh*d*s may bring joy to the likes of *MF or others.

I love posting about how Rampage numbers are in the mud, even though I like to watch the show. It harms precisely nobody and wasting a mod or IKs time on it sounds bizarre to me when the real issues here are minor slap fights that could be easily resolved by a mod or IK saying “hey chill”

As the famous yeah okay said, it’s a forum about wrestling (don’t care about the UFC threads) a made up thing designed to entertain us and make us hoot and holler. The tolerance for posting utter nonsense should be extremely high imo.

as a side note I also wasn't meaning I wanted anyone currently a mod de-modded.

As someone who brought up the moderation, I also wanna clarify this. I think a couple more IKs for the big mega threads for each fed would be the way to go. Having someone in touch with their own little sub-community could go a long way. I don't know about MMA but just in wrestling alone there's a huge number of companies you can watch and in many cases the AEW fan might not have any idea what's going on in TJPW and how people in that their threads interact. Maybe the mythical hardcore wrestling fan who watches all wrestling exists but they are probably not here, so it's better to look for good candidates in each niche.

Yes. The feedback thread should either remain open or be consolidated with the rules thread. The alternative is QCS and no one wants things to escalate far enough for a QCS thread.

i think the thread didn't realize that the joke was coming from the same person who got bopped in the previous thread b/c as a Fellow Queer Person i didn't read it as a biphobic joke but instead a joke about misreading 'bisexual' as meaning 'only ever having had two relationships,' which would be an absolutely fine joke if that was the actual intent

That's how I took it too. And thought it was funny.
Not even 100% positive that's the post that's being referred to here because I really wish people stopped vagueposting.
No idea who that poster was or what they said last week though.

It's not so much that people asked for more moderation but more moderator presence and we got that. Much more using their voice than pressing buttons. it's pretty all right imo.

Critical posted:

Might be missing something but I feel like a dedicated news thread becomes kind of useless unless you ban news posts from the proper discussion threads, at which point you would just be linking back to the news thread anyway and then discussing the quoted post when it could have just been directly posted in the first place. Anyone know how the old ones worked?
Not sure how it was in the old days but I don't see a problem with having a thread that just aggregates all the wrestling news for all the promotions and the business as a whole and additionally have promotion specific news show up in the discussion threads. It'll probably just naturally shift to the news thread after a bit if it catches on but even if news are still posted in the other threads it's not going to hurt anybody. Hell, some people will probably get their scoops from the news thread and repost them in the other relevant places.

This was a tremendously dumbass post but did it really warrant a probe like 18 hours later after one of the actually active mods had already probed the same poster like 2-3 posts later for another equally dumbass post in the same thread?
I don't even disagree that it wasn't necessary but those are two sixers 17 hours apart so I'm pretty sure they slept through one of them anyway.

I don't really have anyone on ignore, don't worry escape goat, you did not upset me in the past. Personally when I think I'm about to see a post I don't like I just scroll past it and when I do read a post I don't like I just move on, it's not that hard really, but sometimes conversations full with those can be a bit annoying. No ignore list is gonna fix this. At that point I just bow out and wait for a bit and then jump to the most recent page. I'm not locked in here with the other posters, after all. My system might require some decision making but it's pretty good, I think.

Could we get the dont post bigots rule in the OP of the Chris Regal thread? I don’t know how well it’ll deter the occasional hate parade but it might help a little bit.

I think there was already a rule like this in place? Not sure if anyone actually added it to the op.

Specifically, it was a rule for bad takes having to be funny in some way which immediately rules out purely bigoted poo poo. Most people forgot about that rather quickly and posted boring bad takes again within minutes.
