Is there a way proboards could change the embed code for Twitter posts?
Each time I notice I put the link with X it doesn't work and I have to type twitter.com over x.com.

They are working on something but until everything is flushed on Muskdaddy's end it's hard to say what will happen. I bring you their posts: The issue with the temp fix they mention is it would f*** up all Twitter talk on here from past things so we can do it I believe.

Why did the Tony Kahn thread get locked? There was legitimate conversation going on.

I laid out why I would have locked it much earlier in the thread, since then it only got much further off topic, more baity, and completely stupid. Was there so legit discussion going on at times, yeah, but that doesn't make up or cover the other crap. -

I've asked this before with no response, what's the consensus on linking to stuff on the Internet Archive?

I'm going to guess this is out of the mod's hands, but I'll ask anyway. Do you guys have any control over the placement of the ads on the forum? The new ads that show in the middle of the page are really annoying at the best of times but I've had a couple of occasions where they've screwed up how the page loads and result in huge blank spaces (mainly in a mobile browser.) Are there any mod settings that turn off those mid-page ads?

I want to mention the Will Ospreay thread going on in the AEW section.
A mod has made some downright disturbing posts when people have spoken out against enablers of sexual abuse. The defence against criticisms of AEW is something that's gotten quite out of hand lately, but this is plain out of line. As a woman who has been posting on this forum since my early teenage years, I have dealt with my fair share of creeps, including inappropriate behaviour from a former moderator when I was barely legal. I am beyond disgusted to see yet another person in a position of power engaging in awful behaviour. I don't post as much as I used to because life is busy and I don't watch wrestling much these days, but this just makes me want to post even less.
EDIT: I also remembered that the former admin of FAN came clean during Speaking Out about his own predatory behaviour in the early days of FAN. Goddammit

Goddammit I want to back up Heartbreaker here and say that that particular Mod's comments were way out of line, and it's not the first time said Moderator has gone beyond the point of Forum Moderation to outright attacking forum members (although those previous instances weren't of the sexual abuse nature but just unprovoked lashing out over a difference of opinion re: the handling of Punk). I understand that this Mod has personal things going on in their life away from the forum, and I truly hope that they and their loved ones find peace, but they shouldn't be taking their IRL frustrations out on the posters here and for a few months now they haven't shown the proper temperament for Moderating a forum, especially one that prides itself on being as harmonious as this one.

Over the last few years, I've seen a number of moderators overstep their boundaries in terms of trying to police how people should think or feel. One of the mods I refer to was eventually demodded and later left the forum. As for the mod in question, I've had practically no interactions with them, but I have seen them attack posters because they personally disagreed with the popular consensus. This instance, however, is particularly egregious. In the post-Speaking Out landscape, the safety and comfort of fans should be the most important thing and telling people they shouldn't be upset about someone who supports an abuser, because THEY don't agree, is simply unacceptable.

Firstly I want to apologize to anyone that I made feel unsafe or upset by my comments in that thread. It was never my intention as trying to come across as defending the actions Will took or anything of that nature. I took offense to some language used and did a worse than piss poor job in handling that.
Second, if you have any issues with moderation decisions I have made or how I handled something please PM me. I try my best to answer everything. The answer you get may not be the one you want but I will do my best to explain things. I just ask that you remember that for everything you see, there is probably 10 things you missed that got deleted, moved, or dealt with past problems.
Also my memory isn't the best so if it is something from weeks ago or more you will probably have to refresh my memory on stuff.
Finally, to cut down on cluttering this thread up, if you want to discuss something on this with me, please PM.
Again, I apologize to those I hurt with my outburst.
Richard.

I think this needs to be public. I think you need to step down from being a Mod. EDIT: Your temperament in how you interact with users of this forum has several times in the past been needlessly aggressive and antagonistic, actively making users feel unsafe, unwelcome and has driven people away. Regardless what we, as users, "don't see," other mods (with one exception) historically have never repeatedly addressed posters in such a way. It's continued to get worse culminating in your actions this past week across multiple posts and your non-apology in you last post in that thread. It's all really beyond the pale. It feels like it would be better for this forum and your own mental health if you stepped down from being a Mod.
