This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Our backup community is on kbin.social!

Lemmy friendly link: [email protected]

Rules:

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/"Plot".

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

6. Banned Source(s).

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

In an interview that debuted prior to Dynamite, Khan said that whoever holds the title after November's annual Full Gear pay-per-view will get an automatic spot in the Classic. However, the titleholder will have to win the tournament final at December's Worlds End PPV in order to keep their championship.

...

Khan also reiterated that the rules around the Continental title will remain the same: no interference and no one allowed at ringside.

Former WWE star Maryse Mizanin says that she is tumor-free after receiving a rare pre-cancer diagnosis and undergoing a total hysterectomy.

In a post to Instagram on Thursday, Maryse revealed that her hysterectomy was successful, as was the staging of lymph nodes in her abdomen, and that her Primary Peritoneal Serous Borderline Tumors had not spread to the nodes or other parts of her body.

Maryse again noted the rarity of receiving such a diagnosis, mentioning that only seven cases per million women in the United States are found each year. She also posted that the next steps in her recovery will include following up with specialists in Houston at the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

(This was going to be posted tomorrow morning, but I'm going to post it today since tonight is AEW's big show for the week, it'll probably help the visibility since most of ya'll will be here commenting.)

Greetings everybody!

At the moment Tellum continues to be largely AWOL since the instance change which leaves us 1 mod down from where we would like to be to have our bases covered. I have no doubt he'll be back at some point but life doesn't get to wait for us so as the title suggests: Mod applications are now open!


Requirements (which are fairly long-winded because I tend to go on~):

-Be a member of the community. If we don't recognize your name or see any history of you being here in SQ, you need not apply. The Fediverse doesn't need power mods and people already familiar with the community and our rules are ideal.

-Location/time: The most active times for the community seem to be afternoon and evenings (based on North American time zones) so ideally you should be capable of checking in on the community periodically during these times at least to make sure things are going smooth.

-Thick skin: People suck. 99% of people you will come across are kind, funny and normal, but humankind also makes it's fair share of low-expectation unadulterated morons. As a mod you can and possibly will be the target of harassment, bullying, and attacks by users. Ensure you are capable of letting dumb comments and attacks roll off your back without letting it interfere with your duties. This does not mean you need to take shit, we do have rules and attacks on mods do count against our civility and harassment rules, but you'll be expected to act 'professionally' so to speak. Someone calls you a useless fuckhole, that warrants a deleted/locked comment and a ban, not a pissing contest in comments where you escalate things.

-Content: Ensure you are ok with seeing potentially triggering and or straight up illegal content. Someone shows up and spams the community with content that is against the rules (or illegal), you'll be responsible for deleting it (and depending what it is, reporting it to the instance admin or to myself [to report to them lol]).

-Keep in mind this is largely an 'in case shit happens' position at the moment. If you check the modlog for this community you'll see how slow your job will be lmao. We've only had the odd problem or two across our whole history on both Lemmy and kbin, one of which was minor and one was a kbin problem (the spambots). You'll be expected to do your 'duties' but just be aware those duties for now will be few and far between.


So all that being said: Anyone who wishes to apply, please do so in the comments below. Feel free to add any experience you have modding if you wish, or a brief write-up as to why you wanna mod the joint. Neon and I (and Tellum should he return by next week) will read through em and decide on who is best!

We'll leave this thread up until at least next Wednesday morning (March 27th) to give people time to think it over (though I assume most will respond long before that lol). Should there be any questions or concerns, go ahead and ask as well!
