Suspend Floyd/Manny Threads For Two Years

[koolkc107]

I get your logic, but realize what that means.

It means any "Crawford is #1 P4P" or similar threads must also be removed, because that logic is based on fights over 4 years ago and thus no longer relevant.

No more "Fury is a PED cheat" threads. Over 4 years ago.

If we're going to say that (basically) NSB is about what fighters have done lately...Pacquiao is in the convo for beating Keef.

Do you see what I mean?

Totally.

Make no mistake.

The main idea is to get rid of all the useless Manny/Floyd threads or "I slowed the video down" threads or "Floyd did x 5,6,10, 20 years ago" threads.

Everything else, could and should get the benefit of the doubt.

I get your reservation and don't have a huge problem with that caveat.

But, I will say this...why even have a whole forum called "boxing history" if things from the past keep popping up everywhere else?

I think NSB should be strictly about active fighters and recent fights, say the last 3 years tops. Discussion in NSB concerning fights 4 or more years old should have relevance to something happening recently, now, or in the near future...or they should be relegated to the other forum we have expressly for fights and fighters in the past.

Just my opinion. And it would stop a load of the nonsense we see daily in NSB.

... You're right: threads regarding FMJr's career should be posted in the "boxing history" But not those that refer to FMJr's current view points or actions -- in case they are related to current fights/events...

I just watched Ennis v Alvarez. Ennis looked good against a guy who was clueless as how to fight a south paw. I'll need to see more to be excited about him though...…….Rockin'

Yer i watched that fight.
He tends to be pretty excited at the start but takes over very quickly.
It would be awesome to see him in tougher fights but its hard for him to get better fights at the minute.
You know how it goes little reward for a big challenge.
At least Alvarez gave him some rnds plus gotta give it to the mexican fighters they never throw in the towel.

Exactly.

If it something Floyd is currently doing or saying, it's fair game.

I'd add to that list, for different reasons, people like Mexican Bidness and ShaneMosleySr.

All 4 of those people are on my watch list.

Bidness and Mosley need to change their behavior or they are headed for bans.

Alts have no excuse and know what they are doing. New posters get some leeway but not much, this is a boxing forum and off topic trash will get closed down. This isn't a forum to discuss social issues, or other combat sports. Non stop boxing means boxing non stop, and only boxing.

[koolkc107]

lets all agree to just ignore them and not post in their ****** threads...enough is enough,,Manny is still active so he can get threads that do not include Floyd as it is ridiculous...

That would work for me as well.

But, we all have to agree to ignore those threads

Thanks for your response, Loaded. You are a cool moderator and pretty patient.

I'm actually big on members self moderating themselves without the mods' involvement. We should all try to help NSB, the best boxing chatboard and website in the world, bar none.

Let's respect it.

My point is, you don't have to ban anyone to stop this behavior.

They post in NSB because they know it will get the most traffic. If you put these revisionist, alternate reality posts in the history section, these folks won't get the attention they crave and will either modify their behavior or disappear.

I'm not even saying to do so permanently- just try it for a couple of years.

Thanks for listening.

Voted yes , but all these Pac vs Floyd threads that are already on the site should be merged and maybe stickied and that one thread is the only one used to discuss the topic.

This is something that can be done right away.

Dear Admins,

It's been over half a decade since Floyd Mayweather won a lopsided decision over Manny Pacquiao. It's been almost half a decade since Mayweather fought a real boxer. And yet, this forum is constantly littered with threads about the May/Pac fight, as if there was some way to change the fact that someone lost and someone won. And, there are also other threads speculating on the career of a man who doesn't appear to be likely to ever fight again.

Therefore, I propose that ANY AND ALL THREADS about Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao, or fights from Floyd's career, or speculation about anything Floyd Mayweather that happened more than a year ago be deleted from this main board (NSB) and be either total deleted or relegated to the Boxing History section.

I think a period of two years should be long enough to get rid of what is, for all intents and purposes, spam cluttering up this section.

Respectfully, Discussing Floyd or Manny in a thread from a legitimate poster posing a serious question is fine and doesn't need to be removed from NSB.

We need to stop acting like this is a forum wide issue. It isn't. The issue is the few Pac trolls that continue to make ridiculous threads. Just a small group of losers that continue to mess the forum up.

Instead of a master thread in the history section, just ban the trolling spammers like ghost of dempsey, pasawakyo, *******dayz, hugh grant,monzon99 and others like them.
