Nick from Australia is a top 15 now. He is a gifted player with some weapons at his disposal.

FYI my quote function isn't working.

And I will think about sig and avatar, it's a big decision.

In tennis relation, I am close to going to the dark side...I am close to buying a Babolat

Clay Death · « **Reply #7 on:** September 30, 2016, 08:25:29 pm »

Babolat is a powerful racquet.

I want one too.

Slasher and his fellow idiots have destroyed MTF.

those **** idiots think it is a church.

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

Great post general.

I have left several forums because of not just excessive moderation but out of control moderation.

I believe it is out of control at MTF.

It is at a point where they are just pursuing their own agendas.

They forget one very simple observation:

They serve at the pleasure of folks who choose to spend their limited and precious time there.

And now people have endless options with a vast array social media innovations.

Most forums are dead or in the process of dying. Only 2 large forums can be considered somewhat active: Tennis Warehose and MTF.

that is only because they are owned and supported by companies/corporations.

Even then these are mere shadows of what they used to be.

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.

Talk Tennis (Tennis Warehouse) has a good thing going and they better not screw it up. But they will, eventually. I already see people in the Q&A forum there crying about moderation, or lack thereof.

MTF thinks it's God's gift to the tennis world and that posting there is some sort of special privilege. Mods there are complete idiots. Enforcing their political and tennis agendas through ambiguous and stupid rules.

I got a year-long ban for calling Marion Bartoli a lesbian cow.

I got another ban for agreeing with something Dologpolov said.

And now I'm banned for life because I called someone a cuck, lmao.

Clay Death · « **Reply #13 on:** October 01, 2016, 05:25:44 pm »

MTF mods are just drunk on their little power and authority:

They not only ban you for damn near nothing, they also are quick to threaten you openly with bans.

That is just madness.

And of course they hand out endless infractions like they are going out of style.

i thought they were pathetic with perma bans and infractions before like 4-5 years ago but now they have taken that to the next level of madness.

I'm very sorry to interrupt you on something I know nothing about but relating it partially to real-life it can be very similar in that some people in authority can't handle their authority & decide to show it off because they let it get to their heads. They don't realise that there are actually 2 main ways of exerting power. 1 is by teaching you well & being nice to you so you will want to do what they say & you govern yourself & you don't realise power is being exerted because you are mainly governing yourself but adhering to the rules. The other way is by getting heavy-handed & throwing your weight around. People feel less comfortable if you exert your power the 2nd way & normally just do what they have to & don't say anything to you unless they're forced. Consequentially, people don't have as much fun.
