A better forum via better moderation

[zeio]

A mod just edited my post. It's fine but can they put a space holder like [removed] rather than outright deleting whatever they find offensive because it makes the sentence sound weird? Like "97 [removed] Hayata again,"?

2024 is prehistoric as far as forums go.

I couldn't give a shit what opinions someone had 2 hours ago, let alone 2 years.

Do you truly have nothing better to do than get worked up over some words on an internet forum (about table tennis, no less) from 2 years ago?

No wonder the West is in this mess when they have such short-term memory and continuously elect someone not fit for the job every few years and the vicious cycle just keeps going.

You have the time to keep track of this thread that doesn't involve you whatsoever? For someone who registered just less than a year ago, how much of the beef between members have you grasped?

I think that’s a good idea going forward

Have any of the mods especially Nextlevel reached out to Tony recently and apologized for how the situation was handled before he decided to leave TTD permanently?

The fact that you think any sane person would somehow make this about politics, or that you talk about having beef on a table tennis forum for years at a time like it's normal, well-adjusted behaviour is absolutely hilarious to me.

Love your enthusiasm though.

Can't see his status. His last post was back in 5/2026 if nothing was removed:

I don't know. If your Nationals MP could be this ignorant, imagine the Australians who have voted her in that I may run into here.

Even a Chinese Australian from Hong Kong felt embarrassed for her. And by the way, he called her [self-censored] in the video...

Nationals MP corrected after claiming Chinese flags flying above Parliament House

A better suggestion would be for posters to self reflect before spewing hatred to the point that it needs to get removed.

Ask something about booster and he will come

I hope he didn't get banned. Even tho he posts semi troll topics I still miss his shenanigans.

All I see is discussion about booster yet he's not coming. 😢

Hopefully he's just away for vacation...

On a related but different note, let's say I got an international coach or a league player to try and post here. While Matt Hetherington isnt a 2500 player, he is definitely an industry insider at a higher level than most. Given how some posters have treated him, what example does that set for someone else who wants to post here? With Matt we have the benefit that he is very familiar with posting insanity and isn't unable to handle the criticism and trolling of nameless, faceless people. One benefit of Tony (as much as I sometimes point out that many of his fans like to dance around his limitations) was that he could also do this. If we have posters who are going to act like industry insiders are liars because they don't agree 100% with views of this or that poster based on their own motivations with barely any hard evidence provided to refute claims, where does that leave us?

Losing such posters makes the webboard less interesting for some but always more peaceful for moderators. Personally I found him sometimes oddly entertaining though I was never a fan of his refusal or inability to engage in give and take.

I got an excellent red fish recently called Takasago. The meat was white and even though it wasn't gutted it wasn't bitter around the belly area. Only ¥500 for 2. Then I got salmon jaw (the greatest cut of fish ever) for ¥299 each today. That is a WIN. The sashimi shrimps that I used for a paella though were a ridiculous indulgence and didn't make much difference. Should have gone with the regular ones and got more volume for a lower price. You live and learn.

I sure hope so, he's like a lucky charm or mascot for the site in my eyes.

He's just being a gentleman. I don't see how he caused trouble. I don't think it's fair to blame him for others flaming his controversial topics. If you see past that I think he is literally an angel.

literally an angel.

Angel fish is literally inedible. Causes severe gastro-intestinal distress. Not worth trying regardless of price.
