    Ah, the Tieba experts. Not someone on this forum. Thanks for comfirming.
  2. Europe Smash 2026, Malmö, 8/8-16

    Because Dima was washed up or because they considered Franziska deserving? And was it really Dima or Timo that was the subject of scrutiny?

    The washed up player with a vengeance:

    That's a fair proposal - send it to Dan. Are there any other issues you want to bring up since I have presented my side of the issues which you have raised so far?

    I really wish you could be a moderator.

    @pongfugrasshopper deleted his post the first time, either before or after he reported yours (the details elude me). Then you made the post bringing it back the first time,. When I deleted the first post, I said that your post had been reported and was under review. Despite that you...

    It is interesting how you present Carl's perspective, Carl was one of the closest friends I made on this web board. I will leave it at that.

    The Streisand effect is interesting and it is good to see that is how you view this. Can you please say what was censored and what has been uncensored as a result of this thread or anything related?

    I actually did not move all the posts and I don't remember moving the "death threat" posts. Some posts were about the tournament and actions done within the tournament. Other posts went deeper into discussions about Japan and China in the context of Taiwan and those were the posts I moved...

    Not sure what the link relates to, but the overall point that the forum argues for language that does not defame or insult other members or players is the main thing. It is an open question whether such language should be permitted on the forum, but I accept that the rule is not consistently...

    No, this is not a mod moving posts thread - this is a thread for people who think moderation is being done by me in a way that is immoral and makes no sense. This is a thread for @zeio and @BlopChock to raise any issues they have since they feel that it is not worth discussing over PM or with...

    That's entirely fair - we can't agree on everything. How we disagree is often what sets the stage for what happens next.

    Hi, @Yxoons hope you are enjoying the forum. I would prefer to move on rather than rediscuss an issue where our perspectives may vary unless they rise to a level where they interfere with the forum - my observations are that you have found your wavelength and that most of the issues are around...

    You have reproduced all the arguments here in one post, which makes my point that there was nothing that required me to copy anything from the original thread. There is no contradiction between saying that *sometimes*, a brand may retain proprietary elements of a product which ESN cannot use in...

    Because again, you and @BlopChock are acting like I am your help. Usually politeness and civil engagement goes a long way and if someone is going to act like I don't deserve respect, it goes both ways. I don't have to get you those posts. The posts imply no such thing, and most of the...

    There is actually no strict requirement to maintain relevance on a thread. It is when the OP complains and even then some of it comes down to the judgment of the moderator. I mostly police tournament threads and that was because they had a history of being derailed by political arguments and...

    As one example, you have accused me of being compromised for taking the common sense position of siding with Matt Hetherington, who is a known public figure in table tennis circles when you make lots of posts insinuating he is laying without any hard evidence of pictures and when he actually...

    I said you would get a month for calling me "morally bankrupt". Feel free to test that. There is absolutely no reason why I should tolerate that on a regular basis. I have zero problem with people criticizing how I moderate as long as thwy are very specific about their issue, present their...

    Let's not focus on Fang, I tried to downplay expectations on him once (not sure when) and got shown the door... age is not kind to footwork and forehand especially after a long absence... but maybe he can breakout if he plays feeders...

    Definitely not as rude as expected lol...
