Let's not abuse authority here. I also think there is a tad too many. However, what do expect after such a huge event. And now you are going to severely limit the discussion of it???? Don't drive people away. I'd rather have a forum full of trivial stuff like this than overbearing dictators.

I'm no dictator, nor are other Mods nor Admins. However, we get pissed off when numerous subsequent topics are relate to initially topic, simply because some members are ego tripping & create same to see how many views/replies they achieve.
Perhaps, they're unaware it's wasting unnecessary space on our server - which ain't cheap

I thought Kovalev was such a ferocious puncher? :lol:

Does replying in 1 large thread take up less space than posts spread across multiple threads?

Agreed, to many QQ of same sh.it 10x+ (or is Mayweather or Ward) and most with attempt to call attention and few with real informing attempt. :clap:

Exactly what did not happen there. That was the best post fight thread for summing up of what happened. It had some interesting discussion on it. The only one I actually wanted to reply to. While there are plethora of vile topics that only there to spew hatred. "Get over it" "I hate boxing community" "ill never watch boxing again", "robbery and corruption", etc. So if you decide to delete thread at least pay attention what you are deleting.

Bad move!

Sad!

It has been locked.

The director of NSAC proved on live TV that he is a crook and a liar when he forced a ref of the Rigo fight to change his decision and then lied about it in front of cameras. He also lied about what HBO crew told him about timing of the last Rigo's punch.

You can't expect these crooks to objectively investigate the matter of Ward vs Kova decision.

STFU about Ward vs Kovalev! Move on. Worse than a bunch of old women.

I think most were doing it for a piss take to be honest.

Is there also going to be a cap on how many threads we can post on Mayweather/McGregor. Let us know what the number is so we can make sure the topics are of enough value.

How about limiting the number of posts per day (3-5), and number of threads created to one per week?

Another "good" solution is to close the forum.

This place is hysterical. Racists and mjultiple account trolls everywhere and the mods, whom I assumed were all gone, decide to shut down every fricking thread over a big fight? Fuckoff for that.

Impractical Poster,

Since our Weeks discussion was locked, I'll drop it in here. So if Castillo would have just taken a knee and spit out his mouthpiece to get another 30 seconds you think that's cool if Weeks lets him? It was a bitch move, like locking every thread, and the fight was done without it.

It was a big fight with a lot of controversy. People are going to want to talk about it.

Moaning about people talking about a huge fight for a couple of days on a boxing forum is bloody ridiculous.

Appreciate the response here...

No, there has to be a limit. That would have definitely warranted a DQ. I felt the right course of actions took place. A warning, then a point deduction, then DQ. Again, I was rooting for Corrales, so I spose had I been rooting for Castillo I would be feeling the same as you.

I can understand Corrales' move. He took a gamble really. He decided to flirt with a possible DQ in exchange for not getting KOed. It was a dirty move, but he played the game and it payed off. They both still showed tremendous heart

I dont get this at all. Why is every forum like this...? Mods and admins just take over. Server space is a ridiculous excuse...firstly text takes up a minuscule amount of data. I have never seen a forum come out and say we are locking threads to save server space, come on man... There are so many other non power crazy ways to save space this is just shit for people who were trying to talk about the fight with each other.

Like what about people who joined the discussion late and wanted to chat with fellow fans? You literally have banned all discussion on the fight lol. For no reason other then you don't like multiple topics on the same subject.... the fight isnt even two days gone... and it was controversial for some people....

In regards to the threads, if it seriously is a problem for people to discuss the same fight and make their own topics then can you not sticky one for us to use?

Everyone had their opinions and people were discussing, there was no actual disrespect and everyone who posts here was involved and gave their view, how is that not a good discussion! I hope I never run a forum and become a guy who deletes, moves and controls other peoples posts because I dont like the manner, style or topic variation of their posts.

I get why they do it and I'm happy no more point making six threads on the same point. We should be smart enough to not make similar post nut obviously we not.
