There should be no need to delete an entire thread, that’s complete overkill and results in us losing historic discussions.Mimmy wrote: ↑24 Feb 2018, 10:56When posts titles have been rechanged i have made the effort to inform the poster that it may cause an issue, and have deleted the whole post as it has caused some issues. I dont need to publicly to inform the whole forum of this.Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑24 Feb 2018, 09:26 This place would be much better if the ability to change thread titles was restricted to mods. I did raise it on the ‘Suggestions for Boxrec’ thread, but amazingly there was no response.
I have had a few conversations with posters and hope they take on board the issues I have raised.
Just tell the poster to stop changing thread titles, and ban them if they refuse. Surely it’s simple? How many more ‘Wes is ruining the forum’ threads do we need ffs?

Re: Shall we give Wes his own Poll Forum?
The reason for deleting the whole topic was because people start slagging people off, its just becomes an argument. So the simple step is to delete it. I have spoken to Wess regarding changing topic titles, Wess has been ok and hopefully will take notice.Boxerbeetle wrote: ↑24 Feb 2018, 15:28There should be no need to delete an entire thread, that’s complete overkill and results in us losing historic discussions.Mimmy wrote: ↑24 Feb 2018, 10:56When posts titles have been rechanged i have made the effort to inform the poster that it may cause an issue, and have deleted the whole post as it has caused some issues.

Re: Shall we give Wes his own Poll Forum?
If the fight gets changed can the thread get locked and a new one created by the mods?
Another thing if the poll is about the main event. Can the title also contain: (main event) + undercard discussion.
Just my thoughts. I rather the polls because it keeps the discussion going steadily.

A who wins poll for Wes v AJ must be imminent.
The amount of polls for fights that haven’t been made and are not likely is beyond belief at times .
I like to read the site regularly rather than comment but it’s noticeable some of the more knowledgeable posters are no longer participating.

Re: Shall we give Wes his own Poll Forum?
Limiting the amount of polls a poster can post to 1-2 a week, surely has to help. Why should anyone be able to spam 25+ polls a week? How does BoxRec think that is acceptable?
A fight gets a chance of happening, Wes puts up a thread, a poll and a title change when fit.
We don't want a news channel, we want an open forum.
It's the new posters that come around that we are in danger of losing. British forum a mess of polls.
