Part of me would like to start a thread to discuss trigger warnings, content filters, muting words etc online, as it's something I've gained a greater appreciation of the need for in recent times, with current media stories affecting me more than I'd expected. Good idea? Bad idea? I feel like it could be an interesting topic but it is something that could get emotionally charged and possibly open up into politics or ideological discussion which never usually ends well. I mean, you could try it but I definitely see it veering towards some pretty hardline philosophical differences.

Dumb question - scored a ticket for a RAW two weeks after Mania. That’s cool to do a post on, right? Or should I save it for when the viewing thread goes up for the evening? Both. Absolutely start one up now. That board needs something fun at the moment what with all the story/social-media bs. Bring it up again when the time comes as well because I'm sure you'll have more to say/share.

Okay so I feel like I need to say this because no one else is. Your Impact Wrestling section here is on the scrap heap because of poor moderation and management and is solely on your shoulders. Your boards were born from making jokes about the crappy side of the business but the real meat and potatoes discussion and the users that tried to dissect the more relevant wrestling news of the day were welcomed and the mods were the line between things getting too serious when things are supposed to be jokey and vice versa. This balance has been disturbed and allowed to remain so as a result of personal biases by moderators here. The bar swayed too heavy in one direction and the jokey derivative side was not only allowed to thrive in the face of many who tried to solve the problem and have since been ran off but was encouraged by the aforementioned higher ups who on multiple occasions simply added into the pile on. I would blame the decline on IMPACT's down years which saw many leave the fanbase however that doesn't explain the fact that every other wrestling forum and social media outlet is growing in support of the brand while here on FAN the status quo remains as you do not accommodate any alternative voices that are not a part of that. In those instances that someone does speak up the response is very dismissive and mocking which results in them not sticking around or assimilating to fit in with your line of thinking to avoid the troubles that come with speaking out. I don't really visit the boards anymore so I'm unsure as to how forums are growing but I would have thought you would be trying to grow and make the place as inviting as possible for everyone in the social media age where you face so much competition. Anyway as far as when you're identify failures in the Impact board when you inevitably scrap it at a point in time where more fans of the promotion are looking for a home than ever, maybe take a look at yourselves and how your moderation has let this spiral. This is all first hand accounts of things I've witnessed, if you disagree that's fine but the evidence is there. Paragraphs.

Are we allowed a thread on the recent New Zealand massacre or does it come too close to the no religion rule?

Shot in the dark here, but any chance we could change the board skin to a Jushin Liger theme? Doesn't have to be elaborate or anything, maybe just a Jushin Liger mask as the 'O' in NETWORK?
I feel like the Wayne Gretzy of cruiserweights retiring deserves a lot more than a simple appreciation thread.

So, I keep getting nasty looking pop ups on here when using my iPad. Guessing it’s something nasty on one of the ads, but thought I’d mention it.

Is it along the lines of “congratulations, you’ve won an iPad/Walmart or Amazon gift card/iPhone” and it freezes that tab so you can’t close it? If so, myself and others here have had similar issues. I’ve let ProBoards know and they’re looking into it. If this is the case and If you don’t mind me passing the information onto ProBoards could you let me know what country you’re in and what browser you’re using. Then it’s more information I can give them.

The problem with this particular issue (if it’s the same as others have been experiencing) is that you can’t really tell what advert it is as it freezes the screen. It’s not technically a “pop-up” by definition and because it actually works as a re-direct, it’s harder to track down the issue.

Is there any way to allow longer thread titles, or is that a proboards issue?
