Not Enough Threads

[Deno1986]

The B&I Forum is a clusterfuck these days with multiple hypothetical match ups, numerous RBR threads for the same event and polls. It’s almost as unreadable as Current Scene.

There were two threads running simultaneously for the Brook card last night - one actual RBR thread and one old thread that was being bumped with updates from the card. Mods should be locking the old one. It’s just diluting the actual conversation about the fights and people’s scoring.

There are two Jamie McDonnell vs. Inoue threads with polls! It’s like a battle between two posters to see who can get the most comments.

Silly to move this thread to Off Topic too seems as it’s about the B&I Forum.

You know fellas i read all these posts and it upsets that people feel the way they do. Us mods dont get paid for any of our services and to be honest today of all days it pisses me off.

Im working full time and moderating a forum to the best of my ability, with other mods who have lives too.

Ive spoken to other mods today regarding issues over topic title changes and polls that simply do not need to be here.

No topics titles are to be changed, unless it is vital, that should never be so titles remain the same throughout. Any changed topic titles, inform any mod either on here or via PM.

I'm now hoping after a little chat that polls will not be put up willy nilly, with any possible fight that could happen. If a fight is on the cards, of course a poll can be created.

Something needs to be done about these polls, I used to enjoy the site & post alot, but it's all bloody polls by 1 or 2 members..

Sorry Tommy, but I like a good poll. And when I mean good, I mean all the bases have been covered. Well, maybe a draw is going a bit far.
A poll is a quick snapshot of opinion for those of the short attention span.
What was I talking about?

Why was this thread moved, out of interest? I know there’s a lot of very disgruntled guys on the B&I forum who would have had a say on it but they don’t tend to frequent OT.

to be honest i moved it to off topic. its one of those posts that fits better here because these posts generally go on for a while and get a bit heated and run off course. I personally dont think its an issue. most people in B&I are in here too and because of that fact its best here I thinks.

I politely disagree because the issue is in B&I, so don’t see the relevance of it sitting in ‘Off Topic’.

You're right Mate.

There's an anti Taansend theme going on and I ain't happy

Theres no anti in anything. I feel its better in off topic, but you could ask another mod for their opinion and if they feel it should go back to B&I then it can. I have no issue with that.

Mate, i’m not being funny, as appreciate the unpaid hours you put in, but this thread is specifically about the issues in the B&I part of the forum, so it most definitely belongs there, not here.

People need telling RBR's should be in the RBR section.

[Dirk Kelly]

Hi,

I quite like it oddly. As we'll look back on fights in years to come providing there is no great purge, find out what our feelings were as the fight was announced, how it played out on the night and then the aftermath.

Don't think its that hard to jump to the rbr section of the thread.

However multiple RBR's are annoying as are all the possible match-ups a fighter can have. Maybe make sure all RBR's are in the RBR section and combine them afterwards as a bit of fight history.

[smiling assassin]

RBRs should be on the day of the fight only. Know one wants to go through 5 pages of boiiocks to get to the boxing taking place. All these threads on fights that have not been signed and only mentioned should not be up for polls ( it wouldn't bother me if it was one or two but loads blocks up the forum).

[Stuffs]

RBR should be fight day only.

"POLL: Guy Who Just Fought vs Guy That May Never Fight Guy A" should have it's own section until such fight becomes a confirmed reality.

[Mimmy]

People need telling RBR's should be in the RBR section.

Once the round by round fights are over the topics generally get put into RBR from B&I. Its takes a day or 2 after the discussion comes to what seems and end. Then people can locate the fights within RBR.

I'm not interested in fact immy, on interested in shite stirring

Not sure the criticism is directed at the Mods, more to the people who see that there are already multiple threads about a fight/whatever and then decide to start a new thread of their own rather than posting on an existing thread.

Saturday did seem particularly chaotic, for tight gits like me who don't pay for Sky this site is invaluable when there is a big fight on.

One thing that does my head in is when people decide to post on the RBR threads and make comments such as "good shot" or "he wont recover from that" or whatever, without naming the boxer.

If you cant be arsed to post a proper comment then why bother?

That’s fine, but shows exactly why existing threads shouldn’t be turned into RBRs - we end up completely losing all the pre-fight discussion from the B&I forum as it will have been moved to the RBR forum.

My favourite is when people just post things like “Wow!” or “Unbelievable!”

thats been addressed. (Hopefully)

[Grilling Machine]

How about one thread per weight titled Fantasy [weight] Fights: Him v Him, where the creator agrees to update the subtitle only? Every weekend at most, maybe.

We don't need a new thread every time this Michael Benson lad tweets a gypsy grapevine.

[jamamb]

ya and there dont need to be multiple chantelle cameron hypothetical fight threads one right after the other, just put it all in one thread, its not that hot of a subject and doesnt need to take up any more space then the minimum

[Tommy Gunn13]

And still the polls continue
