Community Rules
All Your Wrestling is built on conversation. Reviews spark debate, power rankings start arguments, and fantasy booking gets people passionate — and that's exactly how it should be. But for the site to stay a place people actually enjoy spending time, a few ground rules keep things on track.
By commenting, posting, or otherwise taking part in the AYW community, you're agreeing to follow these rules. They apply everywhere on the site and across our official social channels.
The short version
Be passionate. Be honest. Be kind. Don't be the reason someone else stops enjoying wrestling.
The longer version
1. Respect the people you're talking to
Disagreement is welcome — this is a wrestling site, disagreement is the whole point. Personal attacks, name-calling, and pile-ons aren't. You can think someone has the worst take in the world and still talk to them like an adult. If you wouldn't say it to another fan standing next to you at a live show, don't post it here.
2. No hate speech, harassment, or discrimination
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, religious hatred, and any other form of targeted abuse will get your comment deleted and, depending on severity, your account banned without warning. This isn't negotiable and there's no "it was just a joke" exception.
3. Respect the wrestlers
Criticise a match, a promo, a gimmick, or a booking decision all you like — that's fair game. What's not fair game is going after performers' appearance, families, personal lives, mental health, or anything else that crosses the line from criticism into cruelty. Wrestlers are real people doing a genuinely dangerous job.
4. Keep spoilers where they belong
AYW covers global wrestling, and not everyone watches live. For taped shows and anything airing outside the standard broadcast window, please use the spoiler tag or hold off until the show has aired. Reviews and results posts are obviously fair game once published — but in comment sections on unrelated articles, keep the fresh results under wraps.
5. Stay on topic
Comments should relate to the article, the wrestling, or the discussion at hand. Off-topic rants, unrelated political arguments, and thread hijacking make the site worse for everyone. There are better corners of the internet for that.
6. No spam, self-promotion, or advertising
Don't drop links to your shop, your stream, your YouTube channel, your crypto project, or your mate's podcast in the comments. If you've made something wrestling-related and genuinely think AYW readers would enjoy it, get in touch via the contact page — we're always happy to hear from fellow fans and creators.
7. Don't post anything illegal
Pirated streams, leaked footage, doxxing, threats, and anything else that would raise an eyebrow in a court of law will be removed immediately. We cooperate with relevant authorities where required.
8. One account per person
Sock-puppet accounts used to dodge bans, inflate agreement with your own takes, or harass other users will all be removed. If you've been banned, that's the end of the road — don't come back under a new name.
9. Wrestling is wrestling. Real life is real life.
Heated rivalries and heel heat are part of the fun. Bringing that energy into the comment section is fine. Bringing genuine anger about real people in real life into a discussion about a scripted TV show is not. If you feel yourself gearing up to write something you'd be embarrassed to read back tomorrow, close the tab and go rewatch a great match instead.
## How moderation works
Comments on AYW are moderated by a very small team. We try to be fair, consistent, and light-touch — the aim is a conversation that stays healthy, not a sanitised echo chamber.
If your comment breaks the rules, one of a few things might happen:
- Edit or removal. Minor issues may just have the offending bit trimmed.
- Warning. A first-time or borderline breach usually earns a heads-up rather than a ban.
- Temporary suspension. Repeated issues, or a single serious one, can earn a cooling-off period.
- Permanent ban. Reserved for hate speech, harassment, threats, illegal content, or users who simply won't stop after multiple warnings.
We don't owe anyone a lengthy explanation for moderation decisions, but we do try to be reasonable. If you genuinely believe something's been removed in error, the contact page is the place to raise it — politely.
Reporting something
If you see a comment that breaks these rules, please flag it rather than engaging. Responding to bad-faith posts usually just gives them more oxygen. You can report issues through the contact page, and we'll take a look as quickly as we can.
A final word
AYW exists because wrestling is brilliant, and because the community around it — at its best — is one of the most passionate, creative, and welcoming in sports and entertainment. These rules aren't here to spoil the fun. They're here to make sure everyone gets to have some.
Thanks for being part of it.
