Hi everyone,
We've seen a lot of abuse arise from so-called "Appreciation Threads" for various Superstars, such as Chris Jericho, John Cena, and so on. 

There are dedicated fans that both love and dislike these Superstars, and when their passions cross, people get their feelings bent out of shape, tensions rise, and sometimes users violate our Terms of Use by uttering threats at other users, profanities, and so on.

We have decided that such "Appreciation Threads" (and the "Anti-Appreciation" Threads) are to be no longer allowed in the "Inside the WWE Ring" area of the Forums. This includes the Raw, ECW, SmackDown, Divas and pay-per-view event areas.

We've created a brand-new "Appreciation Central" Forum for all these threads. If moderators see such a thread pop up here, they will move it to the new area, and not delete it.

In this new Forum, we are going to be a little less strict with the rules, and allow you to defend your Superstars aggressively, so be forewarned if you post there.

But, the Moderation Team will still patrol the area, deal with Abuse Reports from users there, and warn/suspend users for the following behavior:

1) Profanity filter avoidance ... keep your language clean, people. That includes words INSIDE of posted photos.
2) Photo violations ... pornography, explicit or inappropriate art.
3) Threats against other users ... keep your arguments civil, and attacks non-personal.

That's all for now.... stay classy, WWE Universe.
