We've come across a few things lately that have caught my attention as Mod, and I felt that we all needed a gentle reminder of the rules. And before you complain to Kim, know that she and I are on the same page about this.
1. This is the TOS. Know it. Love it. Adhere to it like a preteen female wrestling fan adheres to her "Mrs. Cena" t-shirt.
2. Make use of the official threads. There's one for Raw (posted every week), one for Smackdown (which will stay there until it gets too big and we start it over), and one for whatever the current Pay-Per-View is. Anybody is welcome to post the Raw thread. We've designated someone for the PPV threads, which are not posted until the event's first match is announced. Other Official threads will be made as needed.
3. We have, sitting happily at the top of the page, two sub-boards: Classic and ECW.
If your thread deals with pretty much anything prior to the WCW buyout, it's probably best to post it in the Classic board. This can be a little sketchy, so such threads will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
If your thread deals with Balls Mahoney, Big Daddy V, the Boogeyman, Extreme Expose, CM Punk, Elijah Burke, Joey Styles, John Morrison, Kevin Thorn, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker, Mike Knox, Nunzio, Stevie Richards, Tazz, the Miz, or Tommy Dreamer, it probably belongs in the ECW board. The ECW board is also a good place for posting discussions of ECW's glory days.
ECW Threads will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, should the brand extension deteriorate as extensively as it did last fall, and ECW guys start showing up elsewhere.
4. We have a spoiler board. Please use it. Here's a big hint that you should be posting your topic in the Spoiler Room: If the word "Spoiler" appears in the title. But if you do that, please check there to make sure your spoiler isn't already there.
Other indicators that you might be posting a spoiler:
And one last point as it pertains to spoilers: Please be mindful of the fact that Monday Night Raw does not air on the West Coast until Midnight ET/11PM CT/10PM MT. Easiest way to avoid pissing off the Left-Coasters? Use the official threads (see #2).
5. Let's try and limit how much we cut & paste from the cut & paste sites. Especially in cases where spoilers are involved (see #4).
And now, the general, non-wrestling reminders:
I'm sure Kim will chime in. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Other indicators that you might be posting a spoiler:
- What you're posting reveals events that have happened, but have yet to appear on TV.
- You're posting confirmed information of events that have yet to happen.
- Portions of your thread look like this.

And now, the general, non-wrestling reminders:
- Spamming, trolling, and fighting will not be tolerated and will be dealt with in accordance with the super-secret Mod TOS that Kim and I know well.
- Topics may be locked, moved, or deleted at any time with or without explanation.
- No one-word or quote-only responses. They will be deleted.
- If you have a warning bar, you can see it. Mods and Admins can also see it. Other normal WFers cannot.
I'm sure Kim will chime in. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
