A better forum via better moderation

[NetProphet]

Why didn't you just move those posts (pointing to evidence of your misfeasance) over here as BlopChock requested, but had to tell us to post them on our own volition (and threatened me of moderation action by DM)? I can't shake the feeling that you intended to set a trap for us to step in and have the moral high ground "how merciful of me to give you a chance"?

You have a history of moving posts and threads when it was convenient to you and OTOH removing them when it wasn't.

Zeio, here's an idea
If you have such numerous issues with the way things are done in here why don't you set up your own forum or just go and post somewhere else?

This is beginning to look like the snake eating it's tail.
You are someone from a place that doesn't allow discussion, and you are (at this stage) actually abusing the fact that some places actually encourage tolerance and discussion.

A bit like the type of immigrants who come into the US and UK who seem to hate those places and vociferously shit on the US and UK, completely ignoring the paradox and beauty of the fact that they are in a society that actually allows them to voice their opinions in the first place. So actually, the fact that they can project loud and outward criticisms actually disproves many of their points to begin with.

TLDR: make some effort to respect people and the different culture from which they have come and you won't be so quick to assume the negative thing every time they do something differently than you would ideally like.

It's not the way things are done here but like the OP has already addressed, the way moderation is handled by particular mods.

I'll quote Takkyu_wa_inochi. Like Shine, he and I don't agree on things all the time but we still get along. We just post where we're coming from and move on.

I'm rather in zeio camp.

He's the one making efforts to gather info from Chinese / Japanese source and translate it in english for the international public.

agree or not with his conclusions, one should at least respect his efforts to present us the raw facts.
this forum would feel much more empty without his contributions. No one else is putting as much effort.

Regarding Hayata, as a JNT fan, ofc i've been rooting for her all along and i did believe for a while she would be Japanese best chance against China and get sometime a gold medal against China.

Well it didn't happen in OG Tokyo 2021 where she wasn't even in the lineup. she got "only" singles bronze in WTTC2023 and OG Paris2024. She didn't play the historical Asian Champ team final this year.

Its a fact she injured badly her wrist during the OG QF- as Zeio reported quite early, and its unfortunately likely her best performances are over, she might even quit TT sooner rather than later. I'm afraid she'll be knocked out early at Zennihon.

Fortunately, even if there is no Ito or Hayata, there's plenty of talented young ladies in Japan who will have their go.

I'd already predicted that over at MyTT in 2023 (original post gone forever), when folks were mesmerized by "the new kid". Also, he has been dealing with injuries recently.

I thought they stopped using the RS40+ after EUR GS 2025?

I saw this on many of the live
Streams. Not sure what the *** means though

*** = 3-star

That explains why Ovtcharov won, besides all the upsets... LOL

Why would a rs40 ball with less spin help Ovtcharov? I can understand why Qiu Dang and LSD losing as they do play with more spin then power due to the Penhold grip
And LSD H3. But not Ovtcharov

It's an inside joke on those players who complain all the time, especially QD. There is a Tieba thread on QD complaining again after losing here.
