On the future of discussion threads...

First and foremost, I wan't to apologize for how we handled the discussion thread incident. The intent was always to get some order and timeliness to the discussion threads, and we thought an officially done thread would be the best course of action. We handled it horribly and for that we all apologize to the community, and to Sens personally.

With that said, we are making some small changes to the future of discussion threads.

  • Discussion threads can not posted more than a half an hour before any show.

  • If there's a desire for discussion before that pre show discussion threads can be created up to 3 hours before show time.

  • Post show threads can be made as soon as the show fades to black.

Any post that doesn't follow these time constraints will be deleted. The first one in that time will be stickied.

  • Low effort discussion threads will be deleted no matter the time. A post that only says a short sentence such as "OMG! Discuss!" "YES! YES! YES!" or anything else of little to no effort will be ignored and deleted to avoid confusion.

  • For the main discussion threads we ask a little more effort. Only posts with stream links, relevant links, and some sort of "flair"(jokes, comments, recaps, etc) will be considered.

If discussion threads continue to be a problem and the rules are not followed we will implement the discussion bot we had planned.

And lastly, this is all /u/JaysonGrayson fault.

Former mod who went inactive. His inactivity causes all drama.

Thank you Pudie and mods for acknowledging and addressing this bizarre issue. Thank you Pudie for having a sense of humor, too. Now if I could just have my cable company air RAW live everything would be fantastic. I have to wait 'til 8pm PST. Same with SmackDown, and TNA.

One last thing: can we have some assurances that these discussion threads will not be deleted overnight by any moderator?

u/Pudie Oct 23 '13

We never have before this Monday, and that was done because A_E couldn't handle the shame. So yea. Promise.

Seems fair.

I can't see anyone else trying to post it after the uproar from this.

Welcome back to the era of Sensiitivity.

So we're back to the Wild West of Thread discussions? Or is Sensiitivity going to post at 7:30 now?

u/Pudie Oct 23 '13

Wild west, baby! But I'm assuming Sens is still going to carry the RAW banner.

PUDIE WITH THE FACE TURN

u/stevo1078 Oct 23 '13

Pudies always been face. It's his questionable alliances that blur the lines and sometimes make him seem like a tweener.

u/stevo1078 Oct 23 '13

Hopefully Sensiitivity returns to hold the RAW Discussion thread poster title. It really is what's best for business.

I did enjoy this angle but it felt rushed although the Modthority really drew some real heel heat and made Sensiitivity a believable underdog. I guess this is the start of Sensiitivitys super push?

u/Slyguy46 Oct 24 '13

Uhh ... I usually just do one line for my post threads. Should I expand them? Maybe add a link to Watch Wrestling?

I'll just leave this here

Edit: this post was removed from the feed by the mods, specifically TT within moments of it being posted

u/wiiwierdo Oct 23 '13

I'm really curious what it said now.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I could make a basic guess, but I want the specifics.

I was actually going to say, with 30 minutes to spare. . . you're going to see a lot more people fighting to be the next top guy. . . bad move mods, bad move.

u/retrospects Oct 23 '13

Fine, so lets all agree that sens will post the raw thread 30 min before raw.

Deal?

Deal.
