Vince McMahon and the WWE, carny and exploitative as they are, just did right by the health of one of their biggest stars ever, stood their ground, and put him out to pasture. This is a great victory when it comes to respecting the dangers posed by brain injury.
But what has WrestleZone done to tackle the problem? Good, promising posters are frequently exposed to the sort of knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, drooling-onto-your-shirt stupidity that causes them to slam their head into their desk with reckless abandon. Enough head slamming, and eventually good posters become the stupid ones, saying dumb shit and causing numerous head injuries to people who used to expect better of the once-good posters. It's a vicious cycle, and the moderation team has done nothing to stop it.
I hereby propose that WrestleZone begin instituting its first concussion prevention and testing program, designed to curb reckless stupidity on this board. We should start with an indefinite moratorium on wholesale stupidity followed by rigorous screening of posters whose activity suggests concussion-like symptoms. In addition, anyone who gets into frequent heated discussions with someone who's beneath them should be assessed ASAP just to be safe. This list includes Haiku, NorCal, and Slyfox (the last of which everyone is beneath). We should also be screening new posters, lest another BSE find his way here and create a dangerous environment for himself and everyone around him.
Would you support such a plan?
