For some reason, the last couple of days, I've had two incidents where the forum page suddenly gets replaced by a malware ad, and the second one really started to get ugly. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? All I can suggest is to make sure your antivirus software is up to date and report the ad to ProBoards using the links on the very bottom of the page so they can have a look at it. Can't guarantee that it will stop the issue completely, but it might help. It's the same thing I've mentioned a bit earlier and the problem is, the ads redirect to a new page, so reporting them to ProBoards isn't an option since you can only report ads on the same page.

From my own experience of reporting ads in the past, they (Proboards) are usually pretty good at sorting the problem ones.

I'd like to ask a question. How come none of the recent Photoshop threads are added to the photoshop archive thread?

I'd like to ask a question. How come none of the recent Photoshop threads are added to the photoshop archive thread? Honest answer? Because it’s a massive pain in the hole to go through every page looking for photoshop threads specifically to move. When you archive the forums, you archive all the threads on a page at a time. To archive it any other way would take a shitload of time, which none of us really have. If anyone wants to go through the archives forum of WWE discussion for photoshop threads and link them to me, I’ll move them to the photoshop archive section.

The Photoshop archives really aren’t worth the trouble anyway, since Photobucket and Imageshack moving to paid models mean that most of the archives are wrecked.

Any reason my thread of recasting gimmicks got locked? Not that I can see. Sometimes staff can accidentally trip the lock option, I assume it was that. Unlocked now.

The WWE section is aggressive as f*** - to the point that I'm just going to start avoiding it now. The same handful of posters seemingly get a free pass with their snark and hostility toward others. Wasn't there a thread just a few months ago about that? Going to need you to hit that report button or send PMs to whichever staff you're comfortable with, I haven't seen anything myself from my normal browsing of the section.

Has there been any consideration about making writing an entire post in a silly font against the rules?
It makes the board really annoying to read on a mobile phone.

Wasn't there a thread just a few months ago about that? I just miss when WWE Current was actually a fun section. Sometimes the jokes wore thin, but I’d take 1000 basketball or sombrero threads over the unpleasantness and negativity that tends to dominate now. I know we’re on a message board about wrestling, so we’re all hardcore fans but some people take this shit way too seriously and need to get out of the house more I had nothing to really add to the hostility part, as usually I just avoid heated conversations so I rarely get attacked, but I did feel like chiming in on the section in general. WWE Current, you changed man. You used to be cool

I've been back for a little bit now. When I had left, the big complaint about the board was too much negativity about the product, people bitch too much. Whatever. Honestly I just let that go. Ok so I come back after a few months, been a big shift in there and it's evened out that everyone is like ok yeah this is crap right now.
So I guess people got bored without fighting eachother over the show and now they're on eachother on a personal basis. Personality politics. Moral issues. Semantics. Definitions of f***ing English words. People not being allowed to show optimism about people on a personal basis. People not allowed to show pessimism about ugly situations. Baiting. Some trolls who keep sneaking in. And this is just the last two days over like 3 threads.
It's total damn mania in there and I'm about to throw my hands up, ban a whole SHIT TON of people on all "sides" of every issue (a good amount of posters I personally enjoy on both sides of these stupid ass "teams" included). I try to keep in the middle on these because of my role here. From that stance, I'm gonna hafta nuke the lot of ya just so that there can be some f***ing peace for everyone else.
Here's a message to everyone... If y'all don't sort this out yourselves I'm going to do this my way and completely change the landscape of our userbase. I don't want to. So please, relax.

.........I was just saying I miss fun. Wasn’t trying to start any sort of group bashing or anything. Probably went a little too far with my “some people need to get out more” line, but I was just adding my .02
People are free to hate the product, there’s plenty to hate. But it seems like there are people who live and die by the quality of Raw or legitimately lose sleep over how Roman is booked and it seems really unhealthy.
My last post was not intended to stir shit up, or cause problems. It was just me venting a bit. Sorry Pig 😔

It all stemmed from having to lock yet another thread right when I seen y'alls entirely fair gripes here so I just used this opportunity to get a message out. 2 Hogan threads, a Zahra thread, and an Enzo thread later and I'm just quite done.

Maybe it's just me but a lot of the stuff that's been showing up has also been bordering on gimmick posting. (I know, as the most outspoken Reigns fan here I'm probably the last one who should talk, but....)

It's kind of starting to feel like people are using the Zahra, Hogan, Enzo threads (and the like) as ways to see who they can bait out into displaying "unacceptable" personality traits (eg : who isn't sufficiently outraged enough [or in the case of Zahra, who IS outraged]) and mark them as targets, as being Not of the Body.

Even you gotta vent sometime. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t adding to the problem. And yeah, those threads you mentioned have probably caused a tonne of headaches for you and the other mods so I don’t blame ya for being at a breaking point. You guys do a solid job, and I’d hate to see what this place would be like if you guys weren’t so on the ball. May not always feel like it, especially when you have to be the bad guy, but the vast majority of us appreciate the job you guys do to keep this place going!
