Thread: can somebody ban Bboxing?

His threads are getting out of control

I second that

I would like him to stop posting the results of fights in the titles of his posts.
I find it ruins the possible enjoyment of fights.

God not another lunatic, some one must be breeding them.

But if the fight happened already, what are you s upset about? You can just google the results.

I like him

I wouldn't say ban and info and updates are what it's about. But it's also copy and paste Spam gone mad and running around posting direct links to other forums! Participate in the discussions here and less plaster board near advertisement.

I do the same thing on boxrec. A few didn't like it which I find hard to understand on a boxing board... I think it adds substance to create boxing debates and discussion (on hard to find fights often) which I thought we were all here for.

On boxrec it's now a very very appreciated contribution that resulted in multiple thread pages of thanks.

I don't see the harm. I am genuinely looking to share my passion for the sport with as most hardcore fans as possible.

Thanks for the few who support my efforts!

The thing is it gets time consuming to repost all the details. That's why I'll end up linking on busy nights like last night for example. I get involved in the daily discussions on the board, but besides the threads I started, you guys don't talk much about boxing's results and actuality. I thought this was a good addition to generate discussion on that aspect.

That's it. Some of these fights, especially Mexican televised fights, I would never know about.

I can see your point on giving results, but most people have never heard of some of the fighters,!
in your reports perhaps most of the people on the forum, are more into main stream fighters.!!!!
You do put some work into your reports, maybe people were worried you were going down
the Bill Paxo route, and you must remember we have had one or two Jackasses lately on
the forum.

Exactly. I bet those complaining had not watched one of the fights he posted. This is a boxing board ffs and some of you sound like a gaggle of 10 year olds.

There is no such thing as a "spoiler" anymore. They went dodo bird in about 2001. Throw a results section up if it bothers people that much. This forum is dead like just about any other forum out there save the noise sandwiches like ESB.

Calling for someones ban on the main page of a boxing forum for posting boxing results that would not even be mentioned here is disheartening to say the least.

This thread ought to be moved to another forum for further discussion

It is not necessary to state the outcome of the fight in the title and you can still have a discussion in the body of the thread. Excluding the result from the title doesn't hurt anyone. Including it ruins the chance of someone enjoying the fight.

I agree that @BBoxing is doing alot of work and is providing valuable information and discussion to the site but it's completely unnecessary to provide the outcome of the fight in the title when much of the enjoyment of the sport is not knowing the outcome of a fight before you watch it. Why is this something that we even have to debate?

I'd be very interested in watching a fight I knew little or nothing about if I came across a thread that read "Margolez vs Simpson- Amazing Fight Last Night!!!" rather than "Margolez destroys Simpson by KO in 4 Rounds!" Does anyone see the difference here?

To say there's no such thing as a spoiler anymore is ridiculous. There no spoiler if everyone agrees not to post the results, which is how we've done things on this site for years. Every now and then some new member come along and decides to post the results and in the past we've politely asked them to stop and they've understood why and they've stopped. I'm not sure why @BBoxing doesn't understand that it's a fair request. I can't understand why some of you think that this is unreasonable. You can still learn about fights that you otherwise wouldn't have known about without stating the outcome of said fights. You can all still read the result in the body of the thread. You can all still debate and discuss all the details of the fight in the body of the thread. You can post links to the fight in the body of the thread...BUT there is no need to post the result of any fight in the title.


Can't we agree to allow some mystery for those who enjoy the sport for it's surprises?
