it's wild that apparently anti-vaxx shit and infowars counts as politics now. What's next, ya can't call AJ Styles dumb for thinking the world is flat?

I'll say this: a politics rule is for when there's two 'legitimate' sides of a debate posters could logically hold and get heated about. With regards to this there are no opinions, simply facts,  and if you decide to make a show out of disagreeing with them you should get banned because you're a loonie

When it comes to health this is a Proboards thing following the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus leaving it for people to talk in could bring out the crazies who believe this shit to try and swing people to their dumb as f*** side and sadly they could succeed which would be a shame.

Yeah, fair enough.

Is there any sort of general thread about what folks are getting/giving for the holidays this year? I know we’ve had them in the past, but I was looking through Off Topic and couldn’t find one.

Doesn’t seem to be, but if you want to make one for when North America wakes up, be our guest.

So all the talk in the Vince thread about FAN's past got me curious. Are there any threads from the infamous "Basketball Jones" days around? I kinda wanna see the chaos as it happened lol

problem with that particular word filter change is that any chaos was undone when the word filter was changed back, for example, if I changed the word "gang" to "group" and then back to "gang" it wouldnt look any different going forward, all you'd see is the word "gang" again.

basically all you'll see now is the word "batista" where it should be and people's attempts to get round that one filter at the time.

should all be in the archived threads from when it happened though.

OK gotcha. Thanks!

EDIT: my big take aways after doing some research:

1. Why did this happen at the start of the heel turn? The basketball thing wasn't even relevant by that point.

2. Looking at with the benefit of hindsight, you can tell that the mods at the time didn't want to actually say anything that would paint RD in a negative light, which I respect. Or they just had no clue what was happening and were as confused/pissed off as everyone else. Because I found three threads about the filter and they were all locked with a mod telling people to stop making threads asking about it lol Any evidence from Askamod is no longer viewable.

3. Madison threatened to shut down the forum over an April Fool's joke? I need the story on this!

Is Inside the Ropes considered a legit news source?

So Randy Orton did a stupid re:COVID vaccines on Twitter, how should we approach this

So absolute quandary here

Does a photo of a WWE segment that has Snapchat filter lips moving on it so it's technically a video fall in to the banned embeds zone

if it's a still photo or gif should be fine, its actual wwe footage that causes all the issues.

If someone's user name is suddenly changed to "..." does that mean they're suspended or banned?

Or did a miss an inside joke in a thread of people changing their names to that?

Or by sheer coincidence do we just have multiple people with the username "...?"

There is at least two posters who have changed their name to that, neither are banned or suspended currently.

Only time we change a person's display name is if it breaks a rule and that hasn't happened in years. Like we had one guy that got banned and created dozens of accounts, some targeting specific users with slurs, that got added, banned and the display names changed so the offensive ones would not show.

Would it be ok to link to the OVP (Our Vantage Point) Podcast (who review old WWF TV shows) (it's on vimeo so I cant embed), or would that be against the rules about posting full WWF shows (they do talk over them which could count as commentary, but I'm not sure if it still counts as a full show).

As long as you can't download the shows you should be okay to link.

Is it possible to make "Obscure Wrestling Facts" a pinned thread, please?

Could I get this stickied? Thank u

Is there any end in sight to the ban on Jim Cornette talk?

I was going to ask the same about Russo, but the thread about his Wrestlecrap column is already pretty popular in the (W)rest section. The ban doesn’t seem to be strictly enforced as I see mentions about Cornette (not just historical either) here and there. However, the announcement that Cornette talk had been banned is still stickied.

I’m mostly interested because he JUST found out about Sephiroth despite criticizing Kenny Omega for YEARS. I mean I didn’t expect Cornette to be a FFVII fan or anything, but you’d think the cult of Cornette would’ve clued him in a long time ago.
