I really like this forum ... I like it a lot. I love collectors and love my Legends and fellow Legend collectors. For years I have asked, hoped, encouraged Mattel and fellow collectors for more Legends. Many times my threads are trolled by others saying ... "They will never make him or them. More recently they said they will "not make Bob Backlund or Harley Race." They then tell me how boring those figures would be and to forget my hopes and then tell this long time collector how Mattel works and how they will never make them. Then Mattel surprises them shows they will make them and I ask the negative collectors again to PLEASE learn from this and allow us to dream, ask and hope and I get a Warning for trolling? I have stayed off for a while because I never understood what I did wrong and asked for clarification and never received it ... but felt what a few other negative collectors would do to my threads were more than trolling and then one of the moderators chose to selectively keep some things cut others then lock and warn. Now I don't know how long ago that was ... but I came back to see nothing has changed. I am sad and disappointed because I like this forum, I appreciate the moderators who give it to us, I love my Mattel WWE figures, and other figures ... and finally I love my fellow collectors who share the same passion as I do ... and those who block, hate, deny and don't want others to get the figures they want makes no sense to me ... but okay ... but I respectfully think that is far more antagonistic and worthy of warnings than whatever happened to me that I am still not sure of.

Haha this place is full of trolls, they make out they know how a multi billion dollar, top 10 toy maker runs, they dont, they come here because somethings missing from their lives, dont take it personally, those kind of people suck, the genuine members know who the trolls are. Keep dreaming and enjoying those legends

Thank you Mattelfreak! I really appreciate it. Today I got the build a figure set of JJ Dillion. Love it! Still not sure why I have a warning and how long that last but felt I would put it out there to smarter people than me to help.

If anyone trolls, ruins your experience here, breaks the rules, overly aggressive, negative, etc simply report the post. While we do catch plenty on our own, we (admins & moderators) cannot read every single post here. We rely much on members reporting the posts that are offensive and break the rules. If we are unaware of something than of course nothing is done. It's not different than Facebook and other social media sites. On the flip side, some people are easily offended, overly sensitive and take things the wrong way. We have to keep a balance here of keeping the peace but not being too overbearing with warnings/bans. We will always have members complaining that that were unjustly warned/banned and others stating "why was nothing done to xxxxx" and so forth. There will always be complainers about figures and other things, sometimes nothing can keep a negative person happy. Such is life.
Best thing to do here is keep a positive attitude, never respond to trolls and report their posts.
Thank you, JS

Jack Specific, thank you so much for sharing with me. I really appreciate it! There are many trolls that are dream crushers of many of us but I never report anyone because I'm a big boy and feel they have to do what they have to do ... but if that is what must be done I will. I do thank you for explaining and I do thank you for helping manage this site. THANK YOU

natureboyfauser, don't let the trolls get you down, they are just sad, pathetic individuals that get some perverse joy from inflaming discussions and riling up people on a message board. Like you I am legends collector and this board is my link to others who share my hobby so my advice is to continue visiting the forum and do your best to ignore those negative individuals. Also, take Jack Specific's advice- if someone is being problematic then report the post instead of getting into with them which will only serve to escalate the situation. As for your comment about posting about figures you like to see made, I say go to the Mattel Suggestion board (that's what its there for) and post away! I really want a Greg Valentine figure and will keep hammering (pun intended ) away about it until Mattel finally releases one. People are free to read whatever discussions they want- if you don't like it don't read it I say. I have no interest in the current product, yet you don't see me interjecting into those discussions and posting negative comments like others do in the discussions about the legends.

The rules here use to be pretty cut & dry but any more there's no rhyme or reason to why you could or couldnt get a warning bar. I could go through and report multiple posts of a user who does nothing but cause trouble (and have before) and nothing happens to them. Then you make a joke about a wrestler who blows out their knee not having a leg to stand on and BOOM warning bar for trolling.
Any more most of us "oldies" are just around because of the friendships we made. Most of us shop elsewhere.

My first and only one was for going off topic in a thread. Somebody had made a joke that tied into the original post, I made a meme of their post, they replied to it then I replied to their reply and that what was considered to be, quoted from the admin that gave me one, "having an entirely separate conversation from the topic." Which isn't untrue but seemed harmless in the grand scheme of things.
Must of been a slow news day for handing out warning bars.
