Then I take back what I said about not knowing your stuff.
I was banned on reddit for a post on /r/Cleveland. A guy had his bike stolen. Somehow he had pictures of the guy. Like he took face to face pictures with his cell phone. Then he gave the guy the keys to his bike to ride by himself.
Everyone in the thread was essentially mocking him for being an idiot. Which he was. But I decided to just make a joke. I said “Hey, I had a guy that looks like him steal MY bike! Except this was in 1990, so this guy is too young to actually be him. Maybe it’s his son, ya know? Keeping it in the family business.”
I don’t know what triggered automod, but similiar things had been happening since I declined their early IPO offering. Then that message got me banned. So I came to Lemmy to avoid that type of behavior from mods.
I threw the last little “disclaimer” in more for my own amusement. A jab at reddit. But then you replied, and I’m like “Did I seriously almost just get banned for the same shit here???”
I may be a little paranoid, and have strong opinions on automods, or mods who ban without context.
We don’t have automod here. As long as it stays manageable under Geek and me, it’s just the two of us keeping the peace here. Worst case, if something seems “off”, we’ll probably just ask you to clarify what you meant rather than ban you outright. As long as there’s no hate speech or harassment/bullying, you should be alright.
Oh, I wouldn’t do anything like deliberate hate speech towards other users…unless Ray Rowe or George Clooney happen to be users here. In which case, all bets are off.

As the owner of this community, you nor anyone else will ever be banned without context. I have the filter of a 90 year old who lost all the fucks they had to give by age 20. If you fuck up bad enough to be banned you will absolutely be told why and how you fucked up in as many choice words as possible so as to leave no doubt lmao.
Really wish TNA were still the joke they were 10 years ago, so I could say some sarcastic joke like “Dixie Carters World Championship reign was more important and more relevant than Roman Reigns was!”
I don’t even know if she ever was world champion. I just know she was an on screen tv character of authority at the same time Russo was writing.
So I ASSUME it happened, and I also assume she somehow gifted it to Hogan.
GeekFTW: “MORE RELEVANT THAN ROMAN REIGNS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN??? MORE IMPACTFUL TO PRO WRESTLING??? OH THIS GUY IS SOOOOOOOO BANNED!!!”
Amazingly, neither held the top title in TNA/iMPACT at any point, even via shenanigans. That being said TNA is actively striving to be the joke they were 10 years ago so…fingers crossed! lmao
God damn. Thats just a whole NEW level of pathetic, when even Hulk Hogan doesn’t want your world title. I assume he had creative control, and even he was like “Nah. I don’t need to be assosiated with this belt…”
I may be misremembering so someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I recall Bischoff saying (as far as he can be trusted as a reliable narrator) that Hogan didn’t wanna actually wrestle when he was with TNA as his body was already getting bad by that point with his knees/hips/back.
Checking CM, looks like Hogan only ever worked 5 matches total during the years he worked there. 4 tag matches, and 1 singles against Sting.
