CAMELOT FANTASIES

General, I'm not sure what their obsession is with thread titles lately at MTF.

Again, this user Time Violation, who has been promoted to Admin there, has changed an interesting, perhaps provocative, sure to grab attention title, to a boring one in the name of being "nice or positive".

Title was:  "Is Gasquet the biggest vulture ever?"

Time Violation, obviously eager to try out his new Admin powers, edited the title to:   "Is Gasquet actually the best ATP 250 player ever?"

Why change it? Agree or disagree, what harm did it cause?  It also changed the meaning of the thread.

I think some of these mods/admins are overdoing it and cutting off the livelier personalities and cutting off their own forum discussion in the process.

Over moderation can kill a forum just like under moderation if not sooner.

I mean, sure, you have to lay down the law when a poster is abusive, or attacking other fellow posters or making death threats or something, but titles?

Respectfully,
masterclass

That's just absurd.  I'm so glad I left.

I remember getting banned because mods deleted a thread I made, calling it trolling (it wasn't), and I removed the "trolling" portion and reposted it and I got banned for "editing over a moderator's change."

That place is a disaster.  Shame because it used to be a ton of fun.  Now it's a trash heap.

Talk Tennis is a great forum more for actual tennis playing and gear discussion, not so much pro discussion.

This is a good fallback site for MTF refugees.  But if someone opened up a purely tennis MTF 2.0 with better moderation, it would be huge I think.
