I know im guilty of creating some stupid shit on the board. But enough is enough who here thinks that the mods SHOULD MONITOR THE BOARD more often and keep an eye on what is said.

[Hugh Jass]

No, I think they've done fine. When the real abusive shit starts, they nix it pretty strong.

Despite my many arguements here, I've never had a problem with the moderators.

This is probably pretty tough because even though I think things have gotten out of hand, there is the right to free speech. People should just be careful of what they say on here. There's no call for a lot of these polls (though some are funny) and other stuff. Everybody should make an effort to think before they type. And that means everybody.

The mods are fine. The phenomenon of nearly every thread breaking down into insults, sexual references, or mindless BS about personal matters has to do with the posts and posters, not the mods. GIGO.

An 'ignore' feature' has been discussed and would be nice to have when/if it is implemented. That way if one person pisses you off you can disregard their posts and just look at everyone else's. This would be superior to outright banning individuals, which the mods have largely shown no interest in doing anyway.

The tone of the board can definitely be set by those in charge, especially if those in charge are *interested*.

The tone is set more by those who post on the board. At time here it seems to run toward "DOI Board Lite", at other times there are a few decent conversations.

I don't find the mods to be too interested either - but then again I'm not paying for this thing. They're at least interested enough to foot the bill.

Perhaps you have heard the term "throwing stones in glass houses"? Bit of advice... despite our relaxed rules here one thing that does not go over well is trolling the board insulting its members then complaining about the moderator when it catches up with you. No matter how many IPs you try to disguise yourself with.

To all others, as far as monitoring the board, we do our best to give our posters the benefit of the doubt and police themselves. Of course there are people who take advantage of this policy like the above poster, but the alternative is a slippery slope of censorship that we feel people will be equally unhappy with. Its impossible for us to catch everything and we feel the line between us monitoring the board and censoring it is a fine one. I am not an admin, just a moderator so its not my call either way, but we prefer to sit back on the sidelines and let this be your community rather than our dictatorship as much as we possibly can.

But we are always open to new ideas and opinions here so please feel free to give us your thoughts here.

[Joshua B]

Thanks! Here are a few thoughts.

I appreciate the hands off style of moderating, but only when the community polices itself. Not much of that here. In my opinion, it's pretty vicious. I like the idea of a known administrator and moderators with real names. I don't think it's fair that individuals can register more than one screen account. Whoever is in charge should be given credit because he's assembled a place that has drawn smart fans and industry types alike. The shirt design is really cool.

[El Kabong]

Isn't a job something one is PAID for doing?
And why is it always a "new" name doing the bitching?

Cry more, noob.

some fakenames are douchebags but some are funny. the way i see it its wrestling, the whole business is based on being fake or as the insiders say a work, so why should a wrestling messageboard be any different? i do agree at times its a bit much but most of it isnt even by fakenames its by people we all know harping on the same shit over and over. banning multiple names wouldnt make people stop being morons

So bluedevil is Tiger Jackson?

[summer of George]

I though Tiger was Mr. TA??? as a Magnum TA fan its pisses me off to no end the crap that is started by him under whichever names he'll actually take credit for.

[enforcer]

Seriously, the mods do a fine job on here. Also, lol at the thread starter for getting called out on his bullshit.

Why do you need to know someone's real name on here?

Life's not fair, get over it already.

The mods have banned people on here for getting too far out of hand.

[#1SpiderFan]

I think people should pretty much expect to be treated the way they treat others on here. I know I'm far from perfect, and I'm trying not to post certain stuff. I don't randomly trash talk anybody on here. I enjoy coming on here, talking about wrestling (and unfortunately other things, which I am seriously trying to stop) and picking up a few jokes or news stories here and there. We should try and remember what brought us all to the dance so to speak before we hit that submit button when posting. It may sound hokey, and I've said it before, but anybody who's a wrestling fan is ok in my book.

Weeding through abrasive people like you makes this site just a little bit less fun.

Again, you need to stop getting sand in your vagina.

I guess it's not. I'm starting to get used to it. I see you are still using that same avitar and signature. Would you like an application to a Shop Rite up near you?
