Someone reported 24 posts that were, off the rails? Yikes! I have my guess...

This was explained clearly. Since there's more interest in why posts that aren't related to the topic were hidden - because they didn't pertain to the topic - than the actual topic, it's safe to say we can lock this up.

Why not just delete the offending posts rather than the whole thread? 

This is exactly what happened.

I am genuinely asking. How is a joke about Flo being useful for something because it sparked an educational discussion about good website/business design.. “off topic”? 

The thread was hijacked by 24 posts unrelated to the topic. That tangential conversation can happen via DM/PM. 

[If USA Wrestling is going to get in bed with Flo, when is there media production accountability?]

No one reported it. A four-page thread about USAW and Flo bears reading.

We lock up a thread that's losing its relevance. We clean up a thread that's going off the rails and keep it open. Moderation will get criticized either way. Thread is still open. Keep it that way.  

 

[If USA Wrestling is going to get in bed with Flo, when is there media production accountability?]

Keep discussion on topic. 

[Thoughts on Russia's Banishment?]

Keep it related to sports and its impact on wrestling. 

Only warning. 

[If Penn State beats Iowa this week, I will leave this forum forever]

Pretty sure we know how to make 10 posters go away ... don't tempt us. 

[bookmakers laying odds on college wrestling?]

Drop it or we'll call Judge Smails. 

[Nebraska vs northwestern dual $$]

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood. It's also not allowed here (see rules).

When I posted the links originally, they were changed over to an "Error" Icon which I interpreted to be by design as a form of policy.   Thanks for the clarification regarding what is allowed

There is a possibility the software has an anti-spam setting that keeps accounts with under a set number of posts from posting more than x-amount of links. I'll have to ask around, since I'm pretty new around here.

it seems its against the board policy to post links to other forums.  I tried and the software removes the link entirely.

For Penn State Search for Blue and White Forum - The Wrestling Room

For Iowa search Hawkeye Report

For Rutgers search the Knight Report

Just use the tools the forum has, there is no board policy about links to other forums, just format the links correctly when posting. Spamming boards, for example or spamming outside things are against board policy. 

[Arizona State VS Michigan-Monday, January 3rd]

Personal attacks will shut this down quickly. Only warning. Shouldn't have to ask adults continually to keep things on topic, but we might have to put some of you on time out, like children, because you are acting even worse than children. 

[Midlands is Cancelled?]

You were warned. This is why we can't have nice things. Thread locked. Argue these political blame game on your Facebook pages. Trade info in your DMs.

[Midlands is Cancelled?]

Only warning. 

Keep it on topic and relevant and avoid political jabs or this will be shut down again. We've been through this. If you want to talk politics, do it elsewhere. If you want to personally attack each other, do it in your DMs. 

[USOPC COVID Vaccine Requirement]

Congrats you all, you've done it again. Another thread driven off the rails by people who don't want to have healthy conversations. Mission accomplished. You've derailed the thread for all the people who can follow the rules. 

[Thread Deletions, aka "Why was my thread deleted" and more]

Note the forum rules, including this one, which has been in place since December of 2010.

Legal Matters: Legal issues surrounding athletes either in college or high school will be removed. These include any type of matter that involves arrests or pending charges. This does not include eligibility, however, pointing out legal matters as a means to tear down others will not be tolerated. (Dec. '10)

[FLO Zone Camera]

Thread locked due to childish arguments from two wrestling parents. There's a PM option if you want to continue the banter further together.

Just now, Elevator said:

I think its actually an extremely relevant topic to college wrestling, which has special vulnerability to pandemic risks because of the nature of the combat sport in training and competition.   

Then let's everyone act like it. 

 

[Willie's Earth Shattering News]

We've gotten into territory that's veered off of its relevance to wrestling. Figure it out or the thread will be locked up. These are conversations you can have every other place on the web with one another. 

[Vaccination retirement]

Discussion has veered off course. 

[Chael's Greco Discussion on FRL]

Locked because some of you do not possess the ability to post maturely.

[USA In Trouble]

Get back on track or we're locking it up. That means knock off the personal attacks. 

[USA In Trouble]

The thread was removed because it deteriorated into personal spats and away from the extremely relevant and important topic. Keep the discussion on topic, it won't get reported (and subsequently removed). 

[Thread Deletions, aka "Why was my thread deleted" and more]

Abusing the Reporting System will also not be tolerated. 

Example: Reporting posts about others posting non-wrestling political topics or derailing threads and then engaging in that same behavior will not have the desired effect.
