Manny and Floyd threads

[Adam D]

First topic message reminder :

Boxing Alumni,

Two threads have been set up for you all to use regarding everyones favourite two boxers.

To stop the boards becoming clogged up with new articles everyday, please post any updates you may have on these boxers on the relevant thread.

From now on, only major news about these two will be allowed to stand alone.

Any thread that appears that inst deemed worthy will be merged. Any posters who try and post updates in new threads repeatedly, will receive sanctions.

We will allow specific fight threads when bouts are announced featuring these two but all other discussion about them should remain on the respective threads.


Thank you for reading this.

Might interest you to know that the idea was suggested by a member who is neither an admin or a mod.
/////////////////////////////
I've seen admin/mod say dont talk about Manny or Mayweather on various articles, look through for evidence, they are two of the biggest names in the history of the sport, there names will come up.

They still can.

[Rowley]

Think if there was actually any developments or something worthy of reporting about the topic nobody be they user, admin or mod would have a problem with it being posted or discussed. However when the topic has been discussed in such forensic detail for a two year period and there are no fresh developments we are reduced to the threads basically being regurgitated and the same old nonsense news reports of someone saying one or the other is avoiding the other, etc etc.

For those of us who endured this on the old 606 this is more than welcome as we all know deep down our own and everyone elses opinions on the matter so unless something new breaks on the subject continulally bringing it up can serve no other purpose than to antagonise people, which lts be honest is a lot of people's ulterior motive in still doing so.

Baffling or baffled? It's not so bad, it'll just keep the Manny loving in one place.
/////////////////////////////////////////
was saying it with regards to them so baffling, yeah but its a forum for fans so if they want to make articles i think it should be allowed, in gyms, amateur or pro the 2 they talk about are MAYWEATHER and PACQUIAO, but ADMIN are busy aint they, not busy as in things to busy looking for things to do, they have loadsa time so they will stop at nothing to dictate imo.

prettyboykev's asked Windy to implement this because he felt the board was being over run with Pacquiao and Mayweather articles?

Maybe he was hallucinating at the time, because reality does not seem to agree with his views.

So if you want to talk about how would Pacquiao do against Martinez or Pacquiao going into business with Paris Hilton you can now discuss them both on the same thread.

Bit unfortunate if you only want to discuss one though

Poochi going into buisness falls into the same category as most of the other Poochi/Floyd garbage on here it's just news and most people don't care. Don't think Windy ever said that you couldn't start a thread for how Poochi would get on against Martinez that doesn't come under news what part of that are you failing to understand?

[HumanWindmill]

Pacquiao's going into business with Paris Hilton has nothing to do with boxing.

The Manny v Mosley thread ran to sixteen or seventeen pages. It will lock itself after twenty or so, so in many cases the ' Manny ' thread will only contain one or two articles which have been merged.

The tennis forum has a sub section for Nadal, at their request.

Part of the reason that we have done this here is so that you can post about Pacquiao without the baiting and bickering which your threads often attract. In other words, this is designed to benefit everybody.

Plenty of folks voted you off the old forum, if I remember, because they were sick and tired of the propaganda. This is a privately run forum, and the founder invested time and money into it so that we could enjoy discussing sport. He deserves our respect for his efforts, and he deserves that this forum run harmoniously.

Everybody, you included, should be free to enjoy chatting about sport here at 606v2.

Windy explained threads about signed fights can have a new topic. Ask Windy about the other because it's not me who will decide if it needs to be merged and the fact it's a lie makes me uninterested and it hasn't even been posted yet.

Sounds fair

Yes, it would, and if you had heeded just one of your umpteen warnings to quit your relentless ' cattle prodding ' other posters wouldn't feel the need to bait you. I can think of at least three posters here who have said they were Manny fans, but that they are so fed up with your evangelism that they wish he'd fight Floyd and Floyd would beat him, just to put an end to it.

Besides, you still can discuss Manny. We are trying to let you do it without the usual controversy. Or isn't it so much fun when you can't wind others up ?

Nobody ever flooded the front page with articles about Greb or Fitz. I never shamelessly lied about Greb or Fitz. I never systematically trashed another fighter while discussing Greb or Fitz. I never said one thing about Greb or Fitz, only to change the view when it didn't fit my latest piece of propaganda, and then deny I had ever said it. I never tried to shoe horn Greb or Fitz into every single article.

What is it that you'll really miss, D4 ? You can still discuss Manny. Is it just that you can no longer ' cattle prod ? '

[D4thincarnation]

It not a good thing to see double standards.

It clear that mob rule has won again and draconian measures have been put in place.

The debates will suffer for it.

But as long as it doesn't affect you I suppose it is OK.

Should I reproduce your posting history from the old forum ? As to the debates suffering, perhaps you might consider that if you hadn't been so damned selfish as to relentlessly ' cattle prod ' other members we wouldn't have encountered nearly so many problems as we have.

Don't you think the admin team want to enjoy the forum as well, instead of constantly cleaning up your mess ? Stop being so damned selfish, man.

Yes because some people don't agree with my view and break the rules, I'm to blame.

I should forgot my opinions and just agree with people who my get upset.

[BALTIMORA]

How many Greb or Fitz threads have degenerated into the same mindless inane pap that the Floyd and Manny ones do? Quick answer: none.

[SugarRayRussell (PBK)]

D4 you aren't being told to forget your opinions their is 2 threads set up for them now. I did you a favour mate. I await my thank you.

You break every single moral rule by abusing the site that the founder created and that the original admin team worked hard to build. Treat them with respect, and treat other members with respect, and you might find that such respect is reciprocated. You might also have the decency to acknowledge the fact that the moderation and admin teams often jump to your defence.

This latest measure does not specifically target you. On the contrary, it is designed to allow you the freedom to discuss what you wish without being baited.

I wish you a pleasant evening, since I am now signing off. Good night to you, and good night to everybody else.

D4 you have not been stopped from giving your opinion just stops so many threads on the same subject. You know how they all end up the fact you're the only person moaning about it speaks volumes.

[D4thincarnation]

I feel it is a shame that the board has had to take the measure to keep some posters happy.

I wonder if they curtail Messi and Ronaldo topics on the football next, because some posters don't like someone saying Messi is better than Ronaldo.

Then I'm afraid you will need to trust me, D4.

You and I have NEVER had a direct problem. We have, with one exception, treated each other with a great deal of respect. I bear you no malice, and I want you to be free to discuss what you will, as do the entire mod and admin teams. We also want the same for others.

Now I really must go.

There being no mods or admins online I will, as a precautionary measure, temporarily lock this thread in five minutes. Should an admin or mod log in later on please feel free to ask him to unlock it. Failing that, I promise to reopen it in the morning.

Good night to you all.

[HumanWindmill]

Thread is open again, fellas.

I think a little clarification might allay a few fears or misconceptions concerning this idea.

Let's suppose that the Pacquiao v Marquez fight is announced this week. Any article concerning that announcement will stand by itself on the front page, and any associate discussion concerning the fight will be merged into that thread. When the fight is done and dusted, an article concerning the outcome of the fight will also stand alone on the front page, separate from the previous article.

These topics are of universal interest.

The same will apply to Mayweather, should he return to boxing.


On the other hand, topics such as Mayweather's preferring to watch Lady Gaga as opposed to attending a Manny fight, Mayweather's legal problems, Manny's political aspirations, Manny's going into business with the Hilton sisters, etc., etc., will be treated as trivia ( in the positive sense of the word, ) and will be merged into the ' news ' threads. The reasoning is simple : These threads are not of universal interest and many members object to their being on the front page, where they displace genuine boxing articles.

The aim is that everybody will be free to discuss that which interests him, and the admin team would hope that those who have historically kicked against D4's interest in the ' behind the scenes ' stuff would leave him free to discuss the issues with any who are also interested. If these ' behind the scenes ' threads have what amounts to their own section it will, to all intents and purposes, be ' invisible ' to those who do not wish to participate, and if they do participate to bait and bicker it will be seen as a clear act of aggression.

Bottom line is that everybody will have a choice and everybody will be free to discuss whatsoever he pleases without so much risk of friction.

There are no guarantees that it will work, but this represents a genuine effort by the admin and moderation teams to reduce tension and increase enjoyment for everybody.

Let's give it a try.

[Imperial Ghosty]

It wont work we all know that already

During which nobody at the BBC took affirmative action or encouraged cooperation.

[Imperial Ghosty]

Neither are they doing it now, simply dancing round the issue

No offence guys but these tiny little measures aren't going to make an ounce of difference

[BALTIMORA]

I'm hoping it's successful. The fact that someone was having a massive hissy fit about it last night is something I find reassuring, because it would suggest that that person also feels this might be the solution to the problem.

[HumanWindmill]

The admin and moderation teams are working their collective butts off, behind the scenes, to find a solution. We cannot affect a workable solution without common goodwill and cooperation from both sides of the divide.

[Imperial Ghosty]

Windy your not a stupid man nor am I but level the accussations my way or 'both' sides of the divide, it is a one person problem end of

[HumanWindmill]

Windy your not a stupid man nor am I but level the accussations my way or 'both' sides of the divide, it is a one person problem end of

No, it isn't.

The root of the problem may well lie in D4's being over zealous in his appreciation of Manny and his contempt for Floyd, but it has spawned a situation whereby it has become customary for a few to clobber him, no matter what he says, as a knee jerk reaction. It would be naive to suggest otherwise.

Goodwill and cooperation constitute the key element in solving this issue.

[HumanWindmill]

I have to be away for an hour or so and will again, therefore, temporarily lock this one. Again, if a mod or admin team member should log in in the meantime, please ask him to unlock it for you.

Thanks.

[Imperial Ghosty]

It's cause and effect Windy, if the former stopped happening then so would the latter

[HumanWindmill]

It's cause and effect Windy, if the former stopped happening then so would the latter

The proof to the contrary is that, in many cases, D4 has offered excellent contributions to threads and yet has still been put down, Ghosty. No names, no pack drill. Apportioning blame is of little consequence. What is important is that we find a workable solution, and that solution can only be found by consensus.

[Adam D]

Guys,

Just to clarify the situation about these threads.

They are there to allow trivial updates and debate to be posted without the need to start a new thread each time. The benefit of this:

1. trivial threads cloggin up the board
2. Threads descending into the same argument as people retaliate over what they feel is trivial info
3. One place to discuss these types of things which will mean things dont need to be repeated.

I would like to clarify that if something happens that is deemed huge news on these boxers, of course seperate threads will be allowed. So for example if Floyd decides to sign up to a fight/ goes to jail etc, it gets its own thread. As the next manny fight approaches, a thread will be allowed. What we dont want is a thread on the pre fight, the weigh in, the actual fight and the fall out - these can all be done on one fight thread.

Floyds then subsequent rants/ comments can be put onto the floyd news etc.

These threads are just a potential solution. They will be monitered and reviewed. If it doesnt work, the admin and mods will work to find another potential solution.

All we ask is that we give it a go and that we dont have any preconceived ideas that it will fail.

So lets all have a group hug and get behind it - its for the benefit of the board as a whole (and Windy/ Az/ Oxy's sanity!)
