JensenS,
Is this true... or a ploy by TheMat? (From TheMat college forum)

I'm back, I can view the forums now, I haven't checked on whether or not I can post (I'm assuming that I can).
Even so, I'll keep this forum here as a place for people who want a place to talk wrestling without some of the extra stuff that goes on at TheMat.

Dear JensenS,
Glad to hear you've been reinstated at TheMat forums, and that you're keeping this new forum, too.
As for me, I have no plans to return to TheMat forums. They jerked too many people around, including you, Maroon-n-gold, denny, and myself with bannings and erasing messages without explanation or apology.
I can't see myself supporting an organization that treats loyal, long-time supporters so shabbily.
Mark

I here you, speaking of maroon n gold and denny I'd love to see them here, although I unfortunately don't have a way to contact them.
As I said I'll still be participating at TheMat but it'll definitely be more limited than before especially if this forum grows the way I hope it does.

well, lets all put the website in our signatures and make some appearances on these sites...we can get some good advertising that way much like the Met Life blimp at all of the great sporting events.

I just posted your WrestlingTalk website link at the Hawkeye Report forum, with an invitation to Maroon-n-Gold and others to join...
... and I emailed Denny privately with the link to your new group.

Superrob -
What you said (yes this is condescending) coming from a teen is more significant and profound then I could have said.
What themat did was ignore an issue for way to long, and then have a person in charge, without the maturity, and with personal issues, suddenly get tasked with cleaning things up. Obviously he was over his head professionally, and emotional maturity, to do so. I suspect he has cost USAWrestling over six figures in dollars and is pretty much toast in a professional way.

SGallan,
I hope you're right about the money loss part of this equation. Churlish, childish behavior on the part of TheMat college forum moderator(s) has a cost.
I would definitely say that whoever at USA Wrestling that was responsible for the past week's out-of-control behavior at TheMat college forum should have to pay one way or the other. He/she has cost USAW a ton in terms of lost goodwill among long-time posters and contributors.

Count me in as someone who is disgusted by the way themat.com forums has dealt with us. I made several polite and respectful posts to Moderator Craig (you know I can be nice when I want to be), which were deleted without a response or explanation, so I welcome this opportunity to once again be treated like the adult that I sometimes behave like.

spider-Same for me. I begged for a definition of the rules, because as I saw it people were getting booted for things that were not in the initial sign up rules. The deleted all those posts so fast. It was like they didn't want anyone to know what was right and not right. Then all of a sudden I was gone.
