too scared to post here

I really don't feel like i want to post on these forums anymore because you can get banned for almost anything, and i prefer reading other people's thoughts then giving my own so i'd rather not take the risk of being banned for posting something that was already posted last year or whatever. The point i'm trying to make is the mods and admins are being really uptight about things and you can't get a proper discussion going on here anymore.
 
From the things that I have read they do ban for alot of things that I dont think people should be banned for. I personally have not been banned and hope not to be. But I the same like you enjoy reading what other people write. Like I wanted to start a thread on what BG James said on last nights tapings on Impact about quitting but i am afraid of getting banned cause they think that it would be a repeat of something else.

You did see the state the Forums were in about two or three weeks ago right? Firstly going away from that, I agree we are being strict with the rules, but that’s for one very good reason, there are a lot of people here who are detrimental to discussion, and we need to weed out people that do not belong here, and once the Forum is up to scratch with everyone following the rules, minor rule breakings will most likely be overlooked. Our rules are no different to any that are enforced by any other Forum and in which the way we enforce them. Last week people were being banned for spamming once, now they are receiving warnings, because we are getting rid of the bad posters slowly but surely.

Quite frankly I feel the Mods are doing an excellent job, each and every one of them, the Forums are so much cleaner. Any strict punishments given out are merely done so that other posters will see the consequences of their actions and realise that breaking the rules is completely unacceptable. Like I said our rules are quite fair, even lenient to a point and they are well displayed, why shouldn’t we enforce the rules? No one here is on a power trip, all of the Mods want to help make this place a nice fun place to post, nothing more. If you don’t want to post here because of rules, that’s completely up to you.

EDIT: BTW the Image in your Sig is too wide, it needs to be removed.
 
Ok.. Both of you guys are decent posters and dont have any warnings against you.. I have yet to see either one of you do something wrong.. Now since we have a full mod staff, and admins, of course we are going to enforce the rules and etc.. Everyone got banned for a reason.. Either spamming, flaming or something else that they didnt follow more then once..

The point i'm trying to make is the mods and admins are being really uptight about things and you can't get a proper discussion going on here anymore.

How do you expect a proper discussion going with people saying things like "I agree" or "Batista sucks".. Honestly, is that really needed? And will that form a discussion? Thats what people get banned for..


Like I wanted to start a thread on what BG James said on last nights tapings on Impact about quitting

The only way you would get in trouble for that is if you posted it in the regular TNA forum instead of the spoilers sub-forum.. Its not that big yet, so you would be able to see whether or not its been done already..
 
To the original poster- it really isn't that hard not to be banned. Just because the Mods do a great job of keeping out pointless one-liners and such in discussions doesn't mean they limit it, that actually adds to discussion. I got so sick and tired of seeing topic after topic on the same exact thing. People need to be smarter about how they post- it's not rocket science! If you don't have much to offer in a discussion that don't just post one sentance. If you think that a topic you want to post was already made than go click on the Search button at the top and see if it is. And, if you want to post a spoiler do that in the spoiler section, PPV in the PPV section, etc. It is not that hard at all. I've managed fine.

You shouldn't be scared to post, The Mod's will only take action against you if you are being a fool. as long as you post interesting/meaningful posts you will be fine. The mod's on this site do a great job as far as I can tell, the site seems well run and I havent encountered any lowlife posters at all
 
See- there used to be plenty of low-life posters but, they're all gone now. I think that shows a lot of good work on the Mods part. I don't get it- people complained when there weren't enough mods and now they're complaining that there are?

^^^^It's human nature I guess. Since the primary forum here is the WWE one I will use that as a comparison to this situation. It seems like the majority of IWC fans complain about wanting certain things to happen in WWE, then get them and complain cause it's not exactly how they envisioned them. It's the same concept used with things like wanting mods and then complaining. Just as there's the option of not watching WWE if the desire to nitpick outweights the desire to attempt to enjoy yourself, there's the option of not posting here if you prefer to post somewhere where spamming is allowed and meaningful discussions aren't considered important.

Some forums do have a set limit with sigs being 600x600 or 800x800, but it seems as alot of people didn't listen to the 400x400 sig limit rule that was put in years ago at WZ. One of the reasons why the sig limit was made to 400x400 was, because over the years WZ staff thought about it and sometimes got complaints about sigs being so big, so the rule was put into effect. It's nothing against the members, but some of the members don't want to go through threads on WZ and see sigs the size of your computer screen and I'm not saying 600x600 or 800x800 is that big, but you get the picture. It was thought that this rule benefitted everyone without totally eliminating sigs completetly.
 
Im happy it is back to being a more respectable forum. Before there were stupid noobs coming in and making one or two word posts. Now they are just banned and that is good for the forum. Dont post here if you cant follow the rules.
 
being scared to post is just stupid. And if you are scared about getting banned then your also dumb. The mods only ban people who do the wrong thing like spam not for speaking there mind
 
(See what I have to do. Now you gotta read all that, HAHA)
He's got a good point though. For some things such as listing favourite moves etc. people get banned for listing their favourite moves. That is just stupid in my opinion because pretty much everyone whos favourite move is "..." is because the same reason. People don't really care why it is your favourite move unless you have a different reason than everyone else. I would rather scan through a forum with 30 posts that are people favourite moves, than 30 posts that are peoples favourite moves and a 10,000 word essay explaining why it is their favourite move. My point is that some of the rules they have here aren't needed. And I agree with the argument about the sig limit. If you make a sig that small you either have to make the pictures you use smaller, and distort them, or make the sig then make the whole thing smaller, affecting it's quality.

If you honestly think that anyone was banned for doing something like that, then you are seriously ignorant to a lot of things. (no offense)

Then don't post such crap. What is the point of people posting lists of things but having no desire to even care about anyone else's? When has a "favorite move" thread been made anyway. We're tlaking about things like "what was your favorite match, favorite wrestler etc." by simply offering a sentence on why that's a pick someone else may say "that's a horrible wrestler" or whatever and suddenly we have a good thing going. These are discussion forums which means that the purpose of threads is for discussion. It's common sense that shouldn't have to be laid out to anyone. When certain people contribute nothing again and again, THEN they are banned. Nobody is banned for making the kind of thread that you said. If you believe otherwise, please offer proof of such an incident.


. My point is that some of the rules they have here aren't needed.

Neither is the non stop spamming, flaming, and bs that people were pulling. I don't think that you have any clue as to how bad things got here for a year long period, or the reasons behind it, let alone the reason that zero tolerance was temporarily put into play. Since you have no apparent clue, how can you be so judgmental?

And I agree with the argument about the sig limit. If you make a sig that small you either have to make the pictures you use smaller, and distort them, or make the sig then make the whole thing smaller, affecting it's quality.

It's never been considered a problem anywhere else that has the limit. It's called picking and choosing sig pics wisely. If you want to be disrespectful to those who have no desire to see giant images on their screen that are eyesores, that's your thing, but not everyone chooses to have that kind of disrespect.


I'm not trying to be a dick, but like I said you might want to have a better understanding of certain things rather than act like we're some sort of dictators.
 
I would break down everything you said, but seems like Dysturbed already has done that for you... So Ill just add my 2 cents

Honestly, I have one thing to say to SwantonHugeoffaladder.. We here rather see quality, rather then quanity.. Basically what I'm saying there is we rather see someone with 25 posts that actually mean something, rather then somene with 1000 posts of just listings, and or spamming... Listing favorite moves and such leads no form of discussion what so ever... This is a discussion Forum.. Now if your looking for a chat room, try using AIM, MSN, or IRC.. Not a discussion forum.. You'll find these same rules at every single discussion forum.. One more time... Main word DISCUSSION

If you're scared to post in a fucking forum on the internet than I really pitty you.


Grow some balls.
 
I can't believe amen is policed her. That's real good taking away our human right to say amen.

Is that all you do? Complain? Amen isnt blocked if thats what you ment.. And saying Amen to a post is called a spam.. Something you will find everywhere.. You can go ahead and say Amen, but if thats all you say, its a spam, no matter who you are.

Its not a good idea to encourage people to kill themselves. If you don't like his posts, just ignore them. If he spams or flames instead of replying to him just report the post.
 
This isnt the Bar Room, so we dont put up with Bull Shit in these Threads. Quit Flaming each other before we have to start issuing Warnings.
