So much intelligent talk going on in these threads.

 

I know I'm an Orton fan, one of the few here... but, I really don't mind when people rag on him. I know he deserves some of it.

 

But, the constant negativity by posters here towards him is ridiculous. Especially since most of the things people keep saying about him have been proven false, or backstage stuff that the kids think they know because Meltzer or whoever says he's a jerk, but really have NO idea.

 

I get jumped on for not thinking Samoa Joe is the greatest worker in the world, and bothered by GOD HTQ for trolling because of it... yet, people can go on and on posting garbage about Orton.

 

The mob mentality here is horrible, and I seriously suggest not allowing any Orton posts. It's pointless, and shows how childish most people are here.

 

Thanks,

 

Leena.

I don't think that banning threads/posts on Orton is the answer ... but I would like a little more mod-involvement to keep the threads on-subject and the posts at least somewhat fact-based. It seems that every thread on Orton (and Cena, for that matter) become "open mic at the Comedy Store" and most of the attempts at humor are just horrible.

 

I don't care if someone wants to hate on a wrestler and say that they can't work, or suck on the mic, or whatnot ... but just to make it a never-ending string of "funny" posts is kind of pointless.

The second thread you posted, Leena, had a place in the folder, as it's major news, but yeah I agree it has just gone downhill. I apologize for my part, if I had any.

[Guest Princess Leena]

Both threads were made with well-meaning. Even the TNA one.

 

But, when it devolves into "Lolz! I hope Samoa Joe squashes Randy!", then it's just silly, and needs to be ended.

 

And the WWE one is self-explanatory.

clearly making Leena a mod is the only way to go

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

I know if I agree, and she got mod powers, I'd be banned, but yeah I think she would do a good job cleaning things up.

I like Randy Orton.

 

The problem is that outside of him and Angle, I don't like anything else on Smackdown, and it's on Fridays, so I just don't see him any more. I tried watching a little but Booker, Boogeyman, Finlay, and the mole girl were just awful, so after a couple attempts I gave up.

 

If I'd seen more than one of Randy's matches in the last six months, I'd probably go get myself banned by defending him.

I now expect iggy to be banned at any moment.

LOL. I threw that in there on purpose. I only saw him a couple times, but from what I saw he's dreadfully dull. He just does punch-kick 1999 WWF main event style at its worst. Well, mixed in with boring kayfabe heel style from the 80s. I really can't understand why all the fanboys are cumming all over themselves watching his matches.

This is the board that shot a wad over lumbering slug Dave Batista because he wore an expensive suit for an interview. I think the official editorial stance on John Cena is "it's so annoying when big-city contrarian fans try to change the outcome by cheering the heel, so go Cena" disregarding the fact that we're the same generation of fans that created Bret Hart as a heel and The Rock as a face. The harder you try to understand it all, the crazier you'll get.

if we banned all threads that unfairly slagged off people/characters/movies this place would cease to exist. heck, the internet itself would barely exist. get off yer high horse, hussy.

RavishingRickRudo's need to derail threads (So fucking what if they are bad threads, people created them and others responded, thus there is clear interest in that topic) so he can discuss FUCKING SOUP is just as bad IMO.

And I bet that's quite a read.

I agree...when anyone else constantly does stuff like that, they get warned, banned, whatever...but, oh, it's okay when he does it...bullshit. I don't give a fuck how smarky he is, that doesn't give him the right to derail a thread just because HE doesn't like it...oh, by the way Rudo, it's severly unfunny and oldhat and switching it up with cereal doesn't make it any funnier or newer.

The funny thing is, for all the talking he does about food, he has made no contribution to the food folder, thus it's a clear case of spamming as opposed to a legit interest in food.

Please ban Leena.

I said a long time ago that RRR was a troll, I was just in the minority, so no one listened. LOTC always has his back too, since apparently they're RL buddies. When they want to, they can bring the content. They just, apparently, never want to. Every thread they post in in the WWE folder either becomes completely off-topic, like the aforementioned soup incident, or the cereal incident, or they try to turn it into an MMA > WWE subject.

 

Mod me.

You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. If the situation or thread warrants it myself and Rudo can bring the goods. If either of us was made a MOD for even something as small as a month we'd clean that place the fuck up.

If Orton threads were banned, where would half of you get your post counts?

 

EDIT: 500

Rudo and Curry are the Beavis and Butthead of TSM

[Lord of The Curry 0]

You can do better then that. Plus, Rudo hates metal.

[Slayer 0]

I don't need to do better. That's what you guys are. You even sound the parts

 

Instead of metal shirts you can wear T-shirts that say "MMA" and "Broken Social Scene"

[Copper Feel 0]

I was ready to toss my support in for Rudo as mod until I heard that.

 

Nobody who hates metal could be a good moderator.
