Hello,
It has come to my attention that certain people have voiced their concern about being banned. They even try and state that they were banned for some reason other than trolling/bullying/fighting and so on. This is completely FALSE. You get banned because it is the consequence of your own actions, actions as I mentioned which are trolling/bullying/fighting. I warn first, I may warn as a warning bar or warn within the threat itself. We do not ban for someone asking a simple question or even something off topic. We ban because it is warranted. Frankly I hate banning anyone, and I banned today only a few which is probably more than I banned in the whole year or even longer.
The rules are simple here. Don't fight, don't hate, don't bully, don't troll. It's not asking too much. Be decent to each other. This forum does not revolve around any specific member, it is a full community of members. Have some common courtesy when someone else differs in an opinion. It's really not that difficult. And if you are unable to control yourself please do not be a member here. Be decent or be gone. There us enough division out there and it will not be tolerated here. Trolling/bullying/fighting will not be tolerated here. Do it and yes you will be banned. You may even lose your account here.
I cannot state this enough... if you cannot get along with others here, please do me and the rest of the community a favor and delete your account. If you are a troll or bully do us all a favor and delete your account. The good people of this forum do not deserve that, it's wrong. I am sure there are plenty of places for you to do that but this is not one of them. Know this please.
Thank you to everyone here that put up with the BS as of late and I sincerely apologize if you were trolled upon or had to put up with any negativity here. We will continue to get rid of the trolls and bullies.
Thanks! JS

BTW I left this open if anyone has any questions (not a reporting thread though). I will try and answer but I may not answer all. Thanks!

I have made that clear in the OP and throughout the thread. If you have concerns or non-questions you can make a new post for that.

Bravo. Jack Specific -- is there a way to block an IP address, so people filled with hate who are ruining the forums can't just create a new account?

I appreciate you trying to weed out the trolls....I have almost stopped posting here because there is always someone with something NEGATIVE to say about ANY thing I post & I have gotten tired of it. I know only a few of the old time members who were on here. I cursed out a couple of trolls a few months back, I expected to get banned myself-just got tired of the ridicule/hate. Most other boards I am on, folks are helpful & encouraging...there are a few people like that here, but mostly it is kids who have zero respect for others...again, I appreciate your efforts.

Jack… Please take a look at all the people who have made it clear that they won’t back the ring, but are still posting negative posts in the main thread. The project doesn’t affect them at all, yet they seem to be on a mission to talk others out of it. It’s essentially trolling at this point. We are trying to get this thing funded and the last thing we need is a bunch of people who aren’t backing the ring dragging others down. I love you. Come on, this is a ridiculous complaint. It's a discussion board...you're going to get opposing views. There are just as many people on the pro side basically "trolling" those not behind it with the reasons they should back it, and nobody's reporting them.

To discuss it, because it pertains to my hobby and I find the topic interesting.

Exactly! nobody that I’ve seen has talked anybody out of buying anything, myself included, I could give 2 rats behind if you or whoever bought it or not, I backed it and will back another one, however I still have my doubts and concerns over it, but it’s not your duty to run to the principal everytime something negative is said. This is a “discussion” board, it’s for positives and negatives, that’s life.

All my posts deleted from that thread. Not a single thing I said today was negative. What an absolute joke.
I thought gimmick posting was against the rules? I know people have been banned in the past for it.

Opposing views are ok but constructively. But some things incite fighting. We need to be positive and contribute positively. There is enough negativity out there. A little kindless can go a long way.

I appreciate that. The problem is the person that did the reporting is the one that did the fighting. Nobody said anything negative to incite him. He didn't like differing opinions so he reported us, again. Do you think that's fair?

I'm concerned because I think it's a slippery slope. I'm a talented guy - I can fight over anything. I think that humans have a tendency to take something they have an attachment to - in this case, a crowdfunded wrestling ring set - and take anything that they perceive to be detrimental to its success or perception as a personal attack. Moreover, I think the narrative that "if you don't like it/want it/plan to back it, then you shouldn't be in the thread" is a load of horse spit. It's been mocked wItH tHiS sOrT oF aPpRoAcH a dozen times this morning alone, but the fact remains that you're on a discussion forum. If you want a place where detracting opinions aren't welcome, start the Mattel Creations New Gen Ring Support Only No Homers forum and set your own rules. Reporting people for having a differing opinion from your own and the audacity to share it on a discussion forum under the pretense of "trolling" is really little more than someone trying to stir the pot under their own pretense of making sure everyone is playing nice. It's clear as day what's going on when someone stoops to those measures.

No one is saying something cannot be disliked. Everyone has their opinion. But some are just troll posts or posts to incite arguments. They are made out of anger and not constructive. Yes of course many take things the wrong way and cannot accept other people's opinions one way or the other. However with that said, and I say this all the time and just got done saying this to someone... There is enough division and negativity out there. It is not needed or wanted here. This place is meant to be an escape from all of that. We all have something in common here. No one deserves to be bullied, trolled, or having to fight about something. If anyone is looking for that I am sure there is plenty of it out there.
Remember this forum is a private forum, of course we control the narrative just like any other forum does based on their subject of interest and their specific community rules. Just like any other community, we allow or disallow certain things and behaviors. This is for the good of the community. In the end, this is a Wrestling figure and Pro Wrestling forum. It should be the main reason we are here. And we all have a common interest and goal. Keep that in mind when posting.
Thank you! JS

This has been an issue for awhile now Jack. This isn't a place to have opinions or discussions anymore. It's just fighting, complaining, and mocking of others. All the smart ones ran for the hills.
Good luck with this, hopefully it helps.

I'm not saying this is what happened in that thread, because I didn't see the deleted posts, but I know I've had some posts deleted when they appeared in the middle of some big argument, even if they weren't contributing. I think those were cases where the mods just decided it was better to scrub everything and go back to before the argument started rather than leaving a few posts that may seem out of context, etc. I have no idea what happened in the thread you two are referring to, but the situation I'm describing has definitely happened to me before. In at least one of those cases I did confirm with a mod that they basically just scrubbed it and my post wasn't out of line.
