Oh wow I had no clue about it. How does this place work, does this forum specifically have its own mods? Proboards, the forum server that we operate on, has it's own guidelines and procedures, which are separate from the rules put in place by each individual forum. These rules are in place to protect Proboards from potential legal action. All forums are required to follow those rules, or risk having their board shut down. Also, why do we need a thread filled with jerking material? It's not like that thread being locked stopped people from posting their pics elsewhere on the forum.

The main reason the threads got deleted is because Madison Carter got an official warning from Proboards about some "hazy line between R and NC17" images that were being posted and he (appropriately) went scorched earth, deleted all the sexy image threads and warned that they better not come back. The self-righteous moral posturing in this thread is disingenuous, and saying we've "moved on" is ludicrous, considering that the images that were getting posted were mostly images the ladies posted to their own instagrams. I think we have moved on and not ludicrous. The way women wrestlers are perceived today is very different to a decade ago. As I said, if it were just pics that the women themselves were posting on their own social media, then there wouldn’t be an issue. It was that way more often than not but there absolutely were occasions where people over-stepped the mark.

I feel like I remember every other reply in those threads being IM GONNA GO JERK OFF NOW this was also during the era where every third poster basically googled HOT SLUT BRA and stuck the first SFW image they had in their signature, which made it literally impossible to browse this place in public

yeah the jerking off threads were godless but the sigs of wallpaper sized semi nudes were probably the most agressively shit thing about the forum at the time because they'd be in EVERY THREAD

As you can probably tell, we’re better off without them.
I mean, it’s not like they’re not posted at all, after all we have a handful of threads for individual wrestlers and the original Pics/Gifs thread and the Social Media thread, but it’s less seedy because it’s better integrated into other content.

Besides, the NXT 2.0 threads help the forum meet it's thirst-trap softcore seediness quota just fine.

Man in the glory days of Paige and AJ Lee dudes were Hella creepy that the mods told them to knock it off. I remember reading the sticky note discussing how folks weren't allowed to make references to whacking their Willie's anymore AJ and Paige weren't the worst of it... the original Mickie James creeps were the worst (and no that's not a Mickie James is old joke... the first like Hive mind of creeps I remember here were centered around Mickie) But as stated they got axed cause people can't follow simple rules like, don't post nudity, don't post anything that is borderline softcore porn. Don't post about your current relationship with your hand and what you are doing with it... and just in general don't be a full on creepy perv.

The AJ Lee wars were a wild time, as one of the few people who were really indifferent.

I’ve had sigs turned off for years because all the bikini pics made this place uncomfortable to browse in public. It’s been so long I actually forgot you can have a sig until I read this thread
