Does past opponents still work the same way?

Yes, past opponets are not changed.

Hi.

Can users opt out of receiving these requests in the same way as you can with receiving challenges?

Thanks

That's nice, but I hope we have the option of not receiving notifications ?

Would seriously prefer if the "future opponents" were at the bottom of the page rather than higher than the "introduction". I like to read about people. I don't really care if they've got a public fight coming up, and now the "Introduction" requires extra scrolling.

I agree with TxWrestle. He makes a good point.

Sounds fun!

Don't want to get the public know with whom I am arranging a match

I also don't like that new feature. Anybody must be able to write the fightdate in a calendar and for most people it is private when they fight.

Two ways of looking at this feature...
Seems fun and I'm sure members will get emails on "How was your match with XYZ? " It certainly piques my curiosity of who is wrestling who and it does provide some sort of visual – seems exciting...

But my immediate impression is that this feature prioritizes social media-like visibility and popularity over fostering a genuine sense of community on the site. It gives that sense of "I have thousands of followers and thousands of likes" versus others who do not. I've been lucky to have lived in 3 different cities that exposed me to a good number of wrestlers, allowing me to accumulate a great deal of matches over 12+ years. Some other members live in very small communities with fewer opportunities for matches.
Then again, I may be reading too much into this. We are free to ignore the feature like everything else and not utilize it – it's there for whoever wants to use it :).

I also actively dislike this feature. Perhaps there could be some way to disable it such as a toggle.

Well, that went well then!

I agree with all the posts from folks who don't like this. More scrolling through things that have zero interest to me. I have no interest in making public my upcoming meets. I would appreciate a way to hide a feature I actively dislike.

I completely agree with Davey716. Should be a setting to turn on or off this feature. It’s a privacy issue.

I should also add that one of the major points of the redesign was to reduce scrolling. Now the site management is adding things that require...more scrolling!

Will this properly break out the “unreliable/no show” to be properly set to “unreliable” = person keeps leading on
“No show” = someone ACTUALLY doesn’t show

If you’re allowing us to post upcoming matches, then you’ll now have a tally of the times they keep cancelling which, SHOULD, result in someone being flagged as unreliable vs someone that just doesn’t show

I like the new feature and plan to use it.

This feature should be optional. I do not like it prominently displayed as it is.

I totally agree!! I went into settings hoping there was a way to disable

I like how it’ll work to keep guys honest. Set up a match publicly. If one flakes out, everyone will know.

I will just ignore it and it’s a non-issue. Don’t need it.

I don’t need that, my future fights are private

This is totaly possible as stated in the news post. But as many of you had similar feedback and concerns, I'm happy to clarify and repeat it here:

You can keep it 100% private - then nobody sees it (apart from you and your opponent). - You still can use it to orgnaise the time and date, and get claender entries.
Private future opponents are NOT visible on the overview page or displayed on any profiles.

And of course anyone can decide to ignore this feature. It is optional.

It looks like you fixed the opening screen issue. Thanks for that.

I’d like to know who “likes” the match with the community vote feature. Makes it hot when you know other members are following and perhaps waiting for the results.

It seems pretty easy guys. If you don’t like it, as I don’t, do not use it, as I won’t 😁

Thank you for a new interesting site feature!
The train seems really starting to roll with the combat calendar already spanning three pages...
...so it gets more and more work to see who´s gonna have a match.

How about giving optional notifications for future fights of users you follow?

That´d be a fourth box to check or uncheck at will for "combat calendar notifications" of your followed users in addition to the three already existing: "login notifications", "profile update notifications" and "birthday notifications".

I like that idea!

I like that idea as well.

I dig the combat calendar. It's a good way to keep track of upcoming matches and you can make it public or private. Great for planning matches with folks and such especially for trips.

Wish members would actually look at the new features you guys put into the site before being all pissy about them. It is funny to me it's ALWAYS the same people though...
