I personally think the entire board needs a revamp. I know its a private board & sticking to Proboards there's little you can do aesthetically but if i was me the first thing i would do is start scrapping boards. There's so many boards here that are just wasted space.
Nothing against our neighbors to the north but the Canada board literally has threads from 3 years ago on the first page. The UK board 2 years ago. MMA board, 5 years ago, Comics 6 years ago and why do we even still have a backyard wrestling board? I would personally start combining boards & getting things grouped together more (comics in Entertainment, MMA in sports etc).
Once the forum looks more aesthetically pleasing its time to start evaluating Mods/Admins. JS/LLBean (which I will always call him that) are set in admin roles but maybe its time to re-instate the Global Mod position (PJ) that TRW once handled. Also for heavier traffic boards (Lounge, Mattel, WWE etc) look at 2 mods from 2 different time zones who will be able to moderate their board during "all times" where stuff isnt as likely to break out in the middle of the night.
Id also like to see stricter restrictions on trading as well. 50 no spam posts is very easy to do for a scammer. Chip does an excellent job with the bad traders list & keeping it up to date but Id love to see the posts count raised to 250-500. Show us you want be part of this board not just here to turn a quick buck.
Sorry for the rant. I know most didnt have anything to do with the topic at hand but Id rather see a big fix than just a small bandaid
Just my two cents

I would also add merging the video game boards as well. 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. 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. The majority of modern people simply cannot correctly process negative opinions and their emotional response to it. It’s infected all facets of everyday life. People’s personal opinions have become their dogma. It’s scary the world my children will grow up in.

Yep mine as well. Quite the message from the moderation staff here. I'm not interested in any sort of echo chamber so I'm out. 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. I know sometimes when I am cleaning up a thread there may be something inadvertently deleted. Mistakes may happen, especially when trying to work at the same time. Also there are post replies that may have quoted something that had to be deleted in which case that post would have to be deleted as well.

Genuine question, are you notified when your post is deleted?

I love this board to death; but some people act like little girls on here. Some of the ways people “disagree” on here; is snooty and bashful. And most people wouldn’t talk that way beyond the screen. And before someone says I’m sensitive; I am a Corrections Officer; so I been called everything in the book.
But; the way you talk to people is important and words come off certain way that’s the plain truth. This forum as of the past while has more threads locked. I been on the forum since 2012; and seen stuff then. But; sometimes as of late it’s hard having adult conversations with people.
Opinions are going to differ; but I don’t see the purpose of logging on and acting like an ass. I log on hoping to having good time. Life’s pretty stressful with the current State of our society; and I don’t see where this forum needs to be negative.

I wasn't banned or deleted but have some questions and statements please.
My statement is that I am very complementary of this forum, Steve and Mattel for being so kind to answering our questions and being interactive, I love the WWE elite figures, and appreciate my fellow collectors. I state that often and it is sincere. Another statement is that as a long time collector I have supported various lines including Mattel on wrestling rings and only have so much space (5 on display) - so even though I would love the light up entrance and the new doink figure ... I might not get this due to space ... with that said I am not trying to knock it. I hope it works for everyone and am rooting for success. I'm also a huge Legends collector and it has been frustrating to hear how they don't sell year in and year out and yet they continue to be some of the hardest figures to get. When I see a topic that I don't agree with or that I don't care for I usually just don't respond. If the thread goes away it goes away if not it keeps going.
My questions are ....
1. On my recent post of Getting over it ... It was a done as a frustration of being a dedicated collector - but finding it increasingly more difficult to find the figures I want but others claim they don't sell. If I am Mattel I don't want to lose a dedicated collector. Many agreed with me and if Mattel saw it they may try to help us created a win win. Why was it locked? 2. Why can people suggest to lock a thread and then you do? If they don't like the thread why don't they just ignore it and let it go away. 3. Why can people call us "Martyr. Childish, Whiner." I didn't think you were allowed to call people names? Why don't you just warn or ban them? That cleans up the thread. 4. Isn't it counterproductive and demeaning for people to mock fellow collectors "They are just action figures?" I know they are JUST action figures - but I am on a collector forum to discuss action figures for reason ... because I care. "I found it be patient". Where do they live? Is it possible we live in different areas? Is it possible I don't have a target 40 minutes from my house? That I can't find it on their site and am just trying to get a "legend figure" which apparently doesn't sell on-line?? All of those things seem to be so combative or trolling. Why not show the link of where they are available if it is so easy? That would be productive and add tremendous value to the forum more so then mock a fellow collector as to how easy it is. 5. My collection was locked. Why? I wrote you privately for direction and it was just blown off. What did I do that was so wrong that would lock it and not respond to my private message?
Thank you for this forum ... again, I value it and those that care about fellow collectors and their passions.

I am an infrequent poster, but bans is how we get full censorship. I have been to Reddit, and banning people is how we get one sided insanity and no hope of normalcy.
I am not sure what the argument is about, but as long as no one curses, or starts name calling, no one should be banned. Bullying is always open to interpretation and always gets expanded. Words which were normal, all of a sudden is hate because reasons. It always starts the way Jack Specific explains and then it always turns into no one being happy, and people simply leaving and not caring.
I get this is about figures and "we" rely on a good relationship with Mattel, but fans have a right to be frustrated and voice it. Mattel is a big corporation pushing certain ideas, and they do not care about fans. I have no idea why people think corporations care, they don't. Mattel is for example, intentionally short stocking certain figures online, so fans can go to stores in person/online. It's a tactic all toy companies do, but deny it. Voice the displeasure.
I see Mattel actually catering to fans who will never buy, but always complain rather than fans who are the opposite. I see their Barbie(s) line and see what NEVER sells and SOME of their internal numbers. Mattel will only listen to those who complain, and not those who pats them on the back.
Like I said I don't know what the big blow up or banning is about, but censorship is wrong...it never ends well for those censoring.

I am going to assume that this has been resolved by now. I’ve seen some questionable stuff, but nothing that would make this still relevant. The reason I’d like to discuss it now is because I want to know if there is a thread for all of the reasons people have actually been banned for and do they get a chance to explain themselves before getting banned. This is purely out of curiosity.

I don’t think anybody takes them that seriously. CRDs harmless in the long run so there’s no reason to ban him just because some people don’t like his threads.

This is purely out of curiosity. I certainly wish there were a way for the disciplinary process to involve more dialogue. An outreach to the "plantiffs" and "defendants" to get their sides before a judgment is made. Maybe one party can learn more about what behaviors they personally need to curb, or just to better establish which members are being sincere and which are here to start things in bad faith. Right now, it only comes out in threads whining about persecution and what-about arguments. I am aware it seems a selfish ask towards the powers, with their other responsibilities and lives apart from this piddly dunk board.

I find it strange that a defense isn’t taken before people get banned. Which admittedly might be controversial, but even if anything said would be summarily rejected it would still be nice to have that on record.

If we're going to initiate a WF Infractions Court, can I be the judge/mod? I'll do a really good job. Watch:
"Order! I will have order in this WF Court!"
See?

You have to have a catchphrase that gets everyone riled up. You know the biggest hurdle might be preventing "What" chants from disrupting the court. A lot of people would probably end up getting cited for contempt.
