PSA: WrestleMania 34 is coming

[taleacorven]

As some of you may already know, I'm going to host a Wrestling Fest next month (May 2018). If you've never watched wrestling or you only used to watch it in the past, WrestleMania is a great opportunity to come back/start. It will take place next Sunday (April 8, 2018), and you can watch it on the WWE Network - your first month is for free. Have fun!

will you have prompts that can be used with other fandoms with a wrestling theme as well the WWE?

[taleacorven]

Yes, I'll try to use general prompts that can be used for all wrestling promotions as well as for most other fandoms.

Thank you!

I confess I'm really looking forward to this fest. It sounds new and different, yet still applicable to a wide range of what people are already doing. I suspect that wrestling prompts may fit really well with superhero/supervillain pairs. :D

Ha, thank you! I hope I won't disappoint then. :D

You can also watch the Kickoff Show on YouTube.

(Btw. is it necessary that the IP addresses are logged here? I'd prefer it to be turned off.)

Well ...

IP logging is turned on for spam control. Yes, we have occasional spam problems. That's one of my less-obtrusive means of discouraging it. When it acts up badly enough and a few deletions don't solve the problem, then I have to lock a journal to friends-only for a while, and for a community that kills casual traffic. So that one, I don't like to leave on all the time.

I'd love for the net to be safe for fully anonymous surfing all the time. But then it turns into: "TROLLS. Trolls as far as the eye can see!"

:/

Oh, I didn't know that. In that case I understand it, and I hope it keeps the trolls away.

Re: Well ...

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have problems with spam about once every few months, across my various journals and communities. I have problems with trolls maybe once or twice a year. So it generally works.

That's why I prefer blogs to places like Facebook: not just the bigger post size, but the much better moderation tools. I prefer to use them lightly, but when problems occur, the lack of those tools becomes a kernel error for civil discourse.
