Kane

    I’m tired of any discussion of this Wrestling character being so protected and taboo on now two message boards here. Namely the Pro Wrestling and The Nocturnal forum. There is one borderline obsessive fan of Kanes who is a poster (who Id rather not name or go into the extent of his fandom) who generally speaking I actually like. This person has said the past if Kane is mentioned that as a fan he will defend him and has actually criticised me about using facts of all things when discussing his place in Wrestling and his overall abilities. As soon as this wrestler in particular is mentioned fairly or unfairly it nearly always turns into an argument. In the Pro Wrestling forum it has all created almost an additional unwritten rule in the charter of Thou Shall Not Mention Kane. So as a consequence as soon as someone brings Kane up they are reported or told to knock it off by other posters for fear of upsetting this one fan in particular, general creating a bad vibe the thread. Yes we all have our favourites in anything we follow. But we should all be able to tolerate even the mildest well though points and criticism of our favourites.

    I don’t see why this character or said fan needs to receive this preferential treatment or this presumed preferential treatment.

    If this is regarding your recent banning from the nocturnal forum then I don't feel that it is fair for you to paint matters in such a light.

    You weren't banned for mentioning Kane, you were banned for ignoring multiple in thread mod warnings regarding bringing issues from the pro wrestling forum into the nocturnal forum and disputing a mod decision in thread.

    Regarding the Kane issue in the pro wrestling forum, maybe if you hadn't taken every possible oppertunity to bring it up to have a go at certain posters who are Kane fans to the point of causing them to leave the forum it wouldn't be such an issue?

    No, you were warned for bringing Pro Wrestling forum matters into the nocturnal forum, where they have no place, as was everybody else in that thread.

    The Pro Wrestling forum thing is not my concern, I just wanted to clear up your misrepresentation of the nocturnal forum.

    Erm the thread was called Off The Ropes and it was a light hearted thread about WRESTLING. Why is me mentioning Kane's name in a joke a MATTER extactly? Pro Wrestling forum matters were mentioned in the thread before my post.

    These were more overt mentions of PW matters than mine was.

    The thread was for light-hearted banter about wrestling, not airing dirty laundry from the pro wrestling forum. Mentioning the Pro Wrestling forum is not the same thing as discussing matters that were carried over from there. There were several mod warnings issued on thread about bringing issues from the wrestling forum into the thread when people did so. People who persisted in doing so were banned.

    You were not banned for doing so by the way. You were banned for disputing a mod warning in thread, which is against the forum charter.

    Strange how there can be certain limitations on talk of one particular actor. Links would help, otherwise all this can turn into is a baseless rant.

    I was clarifying the mods misunderstand of a joke I made at my own expsense. Id rather keep this thread on how Kane has become protected speech in general. If the mention of Kane wasnt elevated to this level it is unlikely than this would be a matter in first place as a result I would have been warned for bringing up this matter as the matter would have existed in the first place.

    Oh, ok then. Well this post in that thread you linked to could explain it:

    http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=57877301&postcount=25

    Perhaps if you hadn't continually baited the Kane fans the problem wouldn't have arisen?

    That thread only serves to illustrate the point that the forum was continually wrecked over a prelonged period by people dragging multiple threads off topic to have a constant dig at the Kane fans at every possible oppertunity. Which is a nice way of saying they were trolling.

    I wasnt even the person who mentioned Kane in that thread so way to take the post out of the context of that thread. Anyway I was being sympathic to him by talking on his level

    Here is another explain of KKV flying off the handle when Kane is mentioned.

    The wrestling forum is a scary place. Seriously.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    Yes, KKV has gotten annoyed at Kane bashing and reacted, but only because you and certain other posters kept digging and digging at him about him being a Kane fan until he snapped. You baited him repeatedly in various threads until he took the bait and then you tried to paint yourself as the victim by saying that you can't even mention Kane without him having a go.

    You keep on poking someone, you can't be surprised or annoyed when they turn around and slug you one. And you can't claim innocence after they do it either.

    When have I actually digged him about being a Kane fan again some proof please? To say he snapped implies a singular occurance. He has displayed abnormal behaviour more times than that.

    When did I bait him extactly? The strongest opinion Ive given on Kane is that he is boring and over the hill. I dont think Im in a minority saying that either. I dont consider that baiting merely my opinion.

    KKV seem to have this problem and reputation before I even posted on Pro Wrestling forum. To borrow you boxing analogy, KKV cant roll with punches.

    I'll answer these at the same time. Read the thread linked below

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=57672963#post57672963

    Oh look at that, a completely unsolicited Kane jibe by rovert leading to a poster losing the head. Are we beginning to see a pattern here folks?


    And if you read a bit further you can see that 4 threads were ruined by people giving out about Kane that week, and one long term user posting to say the forum had gone to shit and he was leaving it for good.

    Surely I'm not the only one who sees a connection between all of these things?

    That post was was a joke and was taken as such by all other posters in the thread notice the thanks that came after it. Once again Ape was trolling other threads ask the Pro Wrestling mods if you dont believe me.

    Do you know how many fans have turned away from Wrestling this year dont you due to the direction it is taking? The OP was another illustation of this and look who was the first to reply to it:

    Well if those posts are your idea of a joke you might want to work on your sense of humour, cos apparently you're the only one who finds them funny. Everyone else just finds them annoying and trollish from what I can tell.

    And I don't know how many have turned away from pro wrestling in the last year, but I know for a fact that a lot of people have turned away from the wrestling forum in the last year. I wonder why?

    Well i only made, what, three or four posts in the nocturnal forum, so I can't have contributed to the Kaning that went on in there. (ha, 'Kaning'.. Thats awesome.)


    But as for Pro-Rasslin..



    5340603.jpg



    I say it before.. I say it again...


    There's a difference between Kane coming up in conversation and people discussing him, than someone purposely quoting me and bringing up Kane in negative light for no reason other than to start an argument.


    Rovert.. you seem to have some kind of an issue with me. I don't know what it is, i dont know why, how, where, when, etc. but for some reason, i get the jibe that you don't like me.

    For example, i make a thread for a bit of fun:


    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055411148

    ("If WWE was like UFC")


    and everyone gets the idea of the thread.. except you. You drag it into the ground by constantly bringing up technicalities about how it cant actually happen in real life. Everyone else got the jist of it pretty quickly, but you hammered on and on until the thread just went to crap.


    Its things you do like that that annoy me.


    As i've said, I don't think Kane is the best pure, technical wrestler in the world. He's definitely not the greatest talker on the microphone.. but as an overall 'Entertainer' he is my favourite. He has a presence about him that draws me to him. I like his wrestling style, and i can comfortably say that, to me, Kane is the best overall performer in WWE in my opinion.


    I am 100% perfectly fine with people disagreeing with that. But i'm sick of;


    Someone: Hear Christian's coming back to WWE?
    Me: Really?
    Someone: Yeah. He'll be brilliant.
    Me: Ah, i dunno. Im not too mad about him.
    Someone: Kane sucks ass!!!



    And thats the general routine for my internet arguments on here. I don't care if anyone and everyone here hates Kane. Just don't go on at me about it.

    I stand by what I said in that thread. Your recap of thread is slightly revisionistic you had to clarify the thread after people didn’t understand it. Excuse me if I took what you posted along with others and injected realism. It was a poorly defind topic and I see how this is relevant.
    As i've said, I don't think Kane is the best pure, technical wrestler in the world. He's definitely not the greatest talker on the microphone.. but as an overall 'Entertainer' he is my favourite.

    You said he was an important character during the Attiude Era, I present a factual case that he wasn’t you criticise me for using facts. You got angry when I disputed you saying that Kane’s back story was fantastic when in actual fact it is considered by those even closest to it as a convoluted mess.
    I am 100% perfectly fine with people disagreeing with that. But i'm sick of;

    You are not though hence this thread. Posters are actually policing others on threads for the fear posts might upset you. If you were 100% perfectly fine with people disagreeing this would be the case.
    Someone: Hear Christian's coming back to WWE?

    If it is the general routine please post an example clearly isn’t a joke and involving me. I’ve ask you for this in the past.

    Mentioning Kane shouldnt be a reportable offence. Eventhough this week you seemed to think it was.

    Erm as I pointed out already I was thanked by others and no one objected to it. So I think people got the joke. If you followed my posts then I wasnt making strong subjective statements like that instead I was used objective points (ratings, buyrates) to make my case in the big Kane thread. So the post was made in contrast to all that.

    Noone objected to it, apart from the guy who got annoyed and was subsequently banned for personal abuse, Minto getting so sick of it that he left the forum, all of the people who are giving out to other people for pointlessly bringing up Kane because they know it's inevitably going to cause a shit storm between you and KKV when you have a go at Kane for some reason, KKV himself, all of the people who reported a bunch of posts over it (and there were loads, and I was one of them) and who knows who else.

    I think what you mean is the people who thanked your post didn't object to it. all 2 of them. The rest of the forum (those who are left there anyway) apparently disagree.

    6 months ago would be within the last year, yes? And just so we're clear, and so we don't have to bother with any of this "are you inferring" stuff, yes I believe it was because of you that a lot of posters have left the forum. Most of them have said so publically, either in the pw forum or in feedback threads that that is the case.

This person has said the past if Kane is mentioned that as a fan he will defend him and has actually criticised me about using facts of all things when discussing his place in Wrestling and his overall abilities. As soon as this wrestler in particular is mentioned fairly or unfairly it nearly always turns into an argument. In the Pro Wrestling forum it has all created almost an additional unwritten rule in the charter of Thou Shall Not Mention Kane.

Yes we all have our favourites in anything we follow. But we should all be able to tolerate even the mildest well though points and criticism of our favourites.

    I don’t see why this character or said fan needs to receive this preferential treatment or this presumed preferential treatment.

    I mentioned Kane earlier in a negative light and the thread didn't turn into a flame war. I'm sure anyone that has had issues with you over using Kane whilst trolling saw that I was making a light hearted but still valid statement.


    rovert's wrecked a number of threads on PW with his incessant whinging,complaining,trolling and arguing of semantics. And trevor, before you ask me to provide you with proof/links/threads or gtfo, the proof is all there in so many of them locked threads.

    Not true. A user was banned from the nocturnal forum the other day for bringing up stuff that was talked about in the PW forum regarding Chris Benoit. The subject is immaterial to the enforcement of the rule. I don't know how much clearer I can make that to you.

    And you might not have been infracted or banned for trolling, but you have been reported for it a bunch of times by many users who feel that you are.

    Yawn if Kane didnt become an issue in the PW forum this wouldnt have happened simple as.



    I agree, to my memory Ive never been given an infraction for baiting or trolling.

    You made it an issue.
    And why you've not had any infractions/bannings is another matter

    Noone objected to it, apart from the guy who got annoyed and was subsequently banned for personal abuse

    He also started threads full of personal abuse as well which got deleted.

    Minto getting so sick of it that he left the forum, all of the people who are giving out to other people for pointlessly bringing up Kane because they know it's inevitably going to cause a shit storm between you and KKV when you have a go at Kane for some reason, KKV himself, all of the people who reported a bunch of posts over it (and there were loads, and I was one of them) and who knows who else..

    Minto & ShawnRaven got sick of Wrestling. There was no me vs. KKV **** storm there were others more vocal than either of us. To say it was Me vs KKV is pushing your own agenda. People had much more stronger views on Kane if anything I was the moderate one look at the Was Kane an important player during the attitude era thread.

    I think what you mean is the people who thanked your post didn't object to it. all 2 of them. The rest of the forum (those who are left there anyway) apparently disagree.

    The silent majority then :rolleyes:. As they werent vocal of there disproval.

    6 months ago would be within the last year, yes? And just so we're clear, and so we don't have to bother with any of this "are you inferring" stuff, yes I believe it was because of you that a lot of posters have left the forum. Most of them have said so publically, either in the pw forum or in feedback threads that that is the case.

    Among the reasons included were that I was asking for sources, proof and links. Which in fact the charter does request. Im the reason for 2.9 Raw has been getting too I guess. The Wrestling forum still does a sizable number of posters and there has been an influx of new posters. Again I state my case as one of the more helpful posters on there.

    This just smacks of ego polishing tbh imho.
    You take info you get from figure4weekly/wrestling observer and post it in PW


    You're even talking in wrestling jargon - "Wrestling forum does a sizeable number of posters"

    I mentioned Kane earlier in a negative light and the thread didn't turn into a flame war. I'm sure anyone that has had issues with you over using Kane whilst trolling saw that I was making a light hearted but still valid statement..

    If fairness this is a rare occurance.
    rovert's wrecked a number of threads on PW with his incessant whinging,complaining,trolling and arguing of semantics. And trevor, before you ask me to provide you with proof/links/threads or gtfo, the proof is all there in so many of them locked threads

    Ill still ask you for proof.

    And you might not have been infracted or banned for trolling, but you have been reported for it a bunch of times by many users who feel that you are.

    A mod from the Wrestling board said in the past that people were likely just looking for an excuse to get me banned and were likely reporting me in tandem.
    You made it an issue.
    And why you've not had any infractions/bannings is another matter

    Please give examples of me trolling before you make those claims and then explain why you did report me at the time.

    As they are legitmate news sources, Alan. I credit them when I do as per the charter.

    It isnt ego polishing look at how many questions I answer.

    Kane Sucks.

    "DON'T MESS WITH JERICHO."
    I remember that toy jericho I used to have as a child, I thought it was entertaining, then I realised the bitchfights about 'who's better' were actually better than the wrestling itself.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    I didn't make this thread.


    And im not posting in it any more either. Much like the Saw films; good fun the first time around, but it gets boring and I can pretty much guess how it ends.

    (Sorry, i dont know why i mentioned the saw films.. just came into my head, i realise they're completely irrelevant)

    At least give me the courtesy of a reply.

    Thats style if ever I seen it. Lovely one to finish him off.
    I remember back in the day when we used to mod the Playstation so it could play copied games. Loved that game, yet, I couldn't stand watching Wrestling... Scotty was a classic, as was (Rock of) jericho.

    No, because it only drags these things on longer. I'm watching the thread though :)


    Bollocko and nevf... can we cut the crap? There's no point in further driving the topic into the ground by acting like kids.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    So rovert please answer these questions.

    Are you currently banned from PW ?
    Are you currently banned from Nocturnal and it's off the ropes thread ?
    Why are you creating a thread about Wrestling here in feedback ?
    Is it cos you are banned due to your behaviour from the places on the site where discussions are on topic ?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    No, because it only drags these things on longer. I'm watching the thread though :)(

    All Im asking you is dont be such zealot when it comes to Kane it is a discussion board you may read somethings you dont like. People should be allowed to talk about Kane or any other character without being reported or being threatened with being reported as you did this week. Just cop the **** on.
