I'd recommend phpBB myself. It's what I use on my board. And it's free.

lol... you were trying to be helpful, so props man, but the whole reason you use phpBB is because it is free and you can run it by yourself. It isn't as scalable or as functional for a gigantic board like Sherdog.
 
Hey, just curious - why was my #pissforequality thread deleted from the Mayberry? If I broke a rule in doing so, I'd like to not do so again, thanks.

If you don't understand why your thread was deleted then you might want want to revisit the sites rules.

I'll do that right now. Do I get a hint? It didn't seem overly political, so the War Room didn't seem more appropriate... I'll come back in 10 with my findings.
 
Just did a quick readthrough of the rules posted in the Mayberry and, at this point, I'm still not entirely sure why it was deleted outside of moderator prerogative, which I completely respect.

It could *possibly* be #3:

"3. Postwhoring/empty posting. Posting +1, empty quotes, too long/didn't read, rickson by armbar, "huge if true," pic-whoring, etc. will result in cards and postcount reduction, and if it's more than a few, or a pattern, it will result in a ban."

Honestly though, I thought it was a *heck* of a prank or, as Tumblr has been claiming, perhaps it was real? I am honestly curious, did #pissforequality really happen, or was it an elaborate hoax?

"8. Posting a thread in the wrong forum, "dubs" may be given out depending on the context of the situation. Please refrain from making Bellator vs UFC threads in the UFC forum, those threads go in the Wasteland forum. Also, post Bellator threads in the Worldwide forum."

Perhaps it was in the wrong forum?

"9. Profanity in thread titles. Don't use profanity (Fuck, shit, etc.) in thread titles as these may appear on the front page under the Forum Threads section of Sherdog's main page."

Is "piss" considered profanity when it's actually part of the hastag the thread is directly referencing?

"7. Trolling (posting ridiculous/racist/disturbing/pornographic comments, images or links.)"

Maybe it was considered trolling - but then, trolling who? It was reposting what I think was a masterful prank?

"- Pictures/gifs/vids that leave nothing to the imagination i.e. close up crotch shots/camel toe/graphic poses"

Maybe those pictures fit into the "nothing to the imagination" category - though, if so, half the avatars in the Mayberry are infraction worthy.

I entirely respect moderator prerogative, but at this point, I really don't know what rule that post was deleted on. Thanks for the response Coolhand.
 
Ok, I have revisited the site rules and, frankly, I'm still kind of in the dark. I'm honestly not trying to be deliberately stupid - I really don't get why that post was banned beyond thinking that it would not yield any interesting discussion, which I understand moderators sometimes do.

Cool Hand, could you explain to me what I'm missing from the rules? I do put some effort into following them, but I'm just not seeing what I broke. Thanks.

And my apologies, I know that I'm just lining myself up to piss off a mod by pursuing the matter to this extent, but I'm doing it in the proper place and I am genuinely curious. Knowing what rule that particular thread broke will help me not make threads breaking that rule in the future.
 
^ Your posts in this thread broke your unbeaten record in your sig.
 
The deletion reason said that it was deleted because it was a grossout thread.

[*]Offensive Posts, Links or Images: This means - No rape threads/posts/images No shit threads/posts/images No beastiality threads/posts/images No overtly pornographic threads/posts/images No :eek::eek::eek::eek:phile/incest threads/posts/images No grossout threads/posts/images
 
Ok, fair enough. Didn't think it was that gross... As far as I could tell, I see worse stuff on Sherdog all the time. It was basically people with wet pants. Heck, I see people grossed out by the pork appreciation thread, and that's still running.

Mod's prerogative though. I'll try and be more sensitive to making threads some people might think are gross in the future. Have a good one.
 
I suggested Shane Carwin as a possible opponent for Fedor and the post is now gone. Why?

Because you accused both fighters of steroid use in your opening post which is against the rules.
 
I made a well-documented thread about the danger of flips in the Octagon. What was wrong with it? It was wastelanded.
 
I'm disappointed my account bet thread of Anderson Silva beating Vitor was deleted. I always liked boasting about that one.
 
My postcount just went down 300 posts.
More of Crave's handywork ?

What is the reason ?
I was just happy I reached 10K after 11 years
 
???

I had a serious discussion going about Gender Changes and I see it was sent to oblivion. Why???

:(
 
So what's the general consensus when it comes to hottest fighter threads?
 
It was an honest question as it really was the first time I heard about thous ridiculous theories...

??
 
attn TS: This thread will probably get deleted, too.
