I made a new post since it's easier to see than to go back in that old thread. It's at Hisa's discretion if he wants to merge them.

Forum ethics, You?

Then stop ragging on me when I double post results.

Now children, do you two need a time out?

Then stop ragging on me when I double post results.

NO! NO! NO!

STOP DOUBLE & TRIPLE POSTING!

I know it's a great trick to improve your post count, but is annoying as hell.

Sorry if I offend you.

Okay, as someone who's an admin on one board (EWR boards) and a mod on another (Chris Jericho board), I'm going state my opinion on this whole matter.

Edgehead, don't take this the wrong way, but people do get annoyed by the "Hey, let's post results of the latest Budoken Hall show, and not post anything else". Not that anyone doesn't mind results posted (since it's a good discussion starter), but is it alright if you add something, like perhaps your opinion on the show, if there is one? People don't need results posted here (they can go to Zach Arnold for that), and while they don't need an opinion, I'm sure they prefer the latter, since debating is cool and all. (Yeah, I might be one to talk, since I don't post that much on the Puroresu boards and mainly lurk, but that's mainly because I still consider myself a student, rather than an expert, of puroresu.)

Funny story, but I was guilty of the same thing back in the day. I once posted WrestleMania 13 results on a discussion board without an opinion and got nailed for it, big time. Yes, I made myself look like I don't have an opinion on the biggest double-turn in North American wrestling history. (I have no idea if Japan had anything at that level, before or after. See what I mean about still being a student? )

I guess, what I'm saying, is opinions matter more on a discussion board than results, since results these days are very easy to find. Just posting results is almost like being at a wrestling show and telling everyone around you that "Keiji Mutoh pinned Masa Chono after a incredible 25-minute bout" when everyone else saw the same thing happen and didn't need you telling them. It's the worst of redundancies, that's all.

Other than that, no hard feelings.
