Ladies and Gentlemen of the SPCNET Wuxia Forum:
In recent days and weeks, there have been an excess of "vs." threads on the Wuxia Forum. "Vs." threads come naturally to a genre of fiction that is practically defined by martial arts competition. Therefore, it is not unlikely that we see threads such as "Gwok Jing vs. Yeung Gor" or "Kiu Fung vs. Kau Mor Tze" on a regular basis.
I'm as much a fan of Western sci-fi and superheroes as I am of wuxia, so naturally, I have also been interested in topics such as "Batman vs. a wuxia character," or "Superman vs. the Janitor Monk," etc. I've participated in, maybe even started a thread or two of this nature in the past. All in good fun.
There is such a thing, however, as too much of a good thing...to the point where the good thing begins to lose some of its value and become irritating rather than amusing. That's when we must draw a line and say, "All right. That's enough of that."
Rather than make a hard and fast rule about what people can or cannot post or when or they are allowed or not allowed to post them, I'm asking everybody to voluntarily participate in a moratorium on "silly" threads. I won't go so far as to delete the current ones (although I might take the option of temporarily locking some of them if they seem to be taking over the front page of the forum), but until we get the excess under control, I'm reserving the right to lock any new ones that appear.
We need to raise the bar on our standards here at the Wuxia Forum, but that can't come from just one or two members (or even the moderator). It must come from all of us.
