Well Dazed, now is the time to do it my friend, the trolls are out full force at this very moment and have got the whole trending bar full of crap!
share[deleted]
Its always the same on every board. They said they don't have a place to talk, but it's every where. How many places doese one need to troll?
Also we are barely established yet and this will kill the site getting new members.

Bad word filter in the trending. No adult themed titles will come on it. It is that simple.
I'll give it till Jim gets the moderators as it seems it will be soon. But if It continues I guess my days on boards like this are done. I didn't want to face it, but it's to wide spead and no one can start over without going back to bad habits.

So whats the point of site called movie chat if you can't talk about movies?
shareYeah, I'm struggling myself. It's not nice coming on here and being faced with "the troll problem" every day. Horrible and depressing to see the trending section filled with garbage like that too.
I know how we feel is exactly what the trolls want, but I can't help it. Jim has to do something about them soon, or this site will die out. Already several quality posters from the beginning are missing the last days.
I know what you mean Mahrez, I haven't seen a couple of my friends around for at least 2 days. I'm hoping they just got hung up doing other things at home or work. But I'm about to step out for a couple weeks myself if this keeps up. It's just no fun here when you got a troll hanging on your leg everywhere you go. I don't want to put too many on ignore because I lose other convos with friends if we're all on the same thread or branch.
I prefer to wait until the ignore button ONLY ignores the troll and not the whole branch if you're chatting with someone else on it too.
I agree Strannger, no fun coming to this battle every day. Think I just might take a little vay-cay and relax for a couple weeks. Kick back and enjoy some films without the pitter patter of little troll feet. 😉
shareI'll see how tonight goes. I really want to help this site grow but I don't want my effort to go to waste.
shareI hear ya Strannger, I feel the exact same way. 😩
sharePlus that, we all worked hard at building this site up with good folks and it would seem a shame to walk out on it. Hopefully things will get better real soon. I have faith in Jim and I know he's been terribly busy with this site, it's just so wrong for him to have to stop progress on building it because he has to stop and babysit a bunch of trolls. 😠
share"it's just so wrong for him to have to stop progress on building it because he has to stop and babysit a bunch of trolls."
No kidding. It's like playing Whack-A-Mole, because they're determined to find any and all means to disrupt and destroy this site, and/or overtake it. Either will do in their destructive little pointy heads.
Jim should be free to spend whatever time he has on building this site, and we should be free to do the same by posting on whatever boards we enjoy or have something to add to after seeing them on Trending, thereby adding to the success of it.
Okay, I'm over and out for now. Will take a look here sometime tomorrow and see if anything's improved.
Whack-A-Mole is a perfect way of putting it!
Anyways, have a good one, will see ya later. 😊

On the one hand, the increased troll activity is a good sign that this site is growing. Like fleas and rats drawn to a prospering settlement. On the other hand it's unfortunate though, because as you said this will deter people looking for a good website to post on. It's a shame that some people need to get their kicks by trying to ruin things for everyone else.

Yes, I saw that the last 15 times you posted it.
shareSo why are you all not agreeing to this? It is a very simple solution!
Talk to Jim, he's the one who runs the site. I'm just a user, I don't make decisions here.
share[deleted]
Then stop complaining until Jim comes!
share[deleted]
No that's not a good solution. They will keep on creating new ids and easily bypass ip filters. For a long term solution what i propose is best. Those boards will remain hidden even if people start threads and posts on them
share"They will keep on creating new ids and easily bypass ip filters."
Unfortunately that's true.
Yeah, but it's easy to know who the trolls are at least...I mean, their names are wide open in the threads so we obviously know who's creating these threads and bringing them to the trending bar. They're sitting ducks in there.

shareWhy do you keep posting the same shit on everyone's posts? You're acting like a troll! If you don't want to be called a troll, then stop acting like one! As for now...I believe you ARE one!
shareI just want my idea to be implemented asap. I am sure nimda of filmboards.com or imdbarchive.com will be quicker to implement this
shareWell, like you were told before...tell JIM, not US! We are not the admin. here! We can do nothing about your suggestion!
shareAnti-human moderators. I can't imagine why they would be ;)
Thanks for doing your part (more than your part, actually, looking at your posting history) for posting on various film boards.
I can only hope they're pointing guns at their own feet. You'd think it'd be obvious, but I need to see some action now. I know I'm not alone on this.
We don't need volunteers like you. Keep trying to control this site. We will keep trying to stop people like you from controlling this place. If people like you and your cronies become moderators, we will just head to imdbarchive.com
sharePeople like me, like me, like me. What do you know about me? I've not ever posted volunteering as a mod, so what are you worried about? Why do you and your cronies continue to rag on about a non-existent issue?
Please do head over to imdbarchive.com, or whichever other site you want to destroy.

Glad to see you dazed. It looks like it cleaned up a not and I wanted say queen of the damned isn't that bad on rewatches.

I read the book first and I guess that's what killed it for me at the time. But I think Aaliyah played the role in a sensual way, very seductive and dangerous.
I always been a fan of Marguerite Moreau so her character's journey really got to me and I was disappointed she had to turn. But it was for the best.
Also dazed I don't know if it's just it being the weekend or if it's a good sign but it seems dead tonight.
[deleted]
For me it's 3:27 a.m.
Yeah she was Jesse who was the descendant of the witches.
David Talbot wasn't he part of the Talamasca? If so I wonder what happened to him which makes me kinda excited for the reboots. I like to find out more about the organization and how it obtains artifacts from vampires. Seems like a dangerous job.

A security guard for a dynamite factory. Its mostly just sitting in a car and keeping an eye on the place. Making the rounds every hour. Not the most exciting. What about you?
I'll have to see about the book. Maybe the library's got it or Barnes and nobles
Haha...I did the exact same thing for a lumber yard back in the 80's. Most boring job I ever had!! 😫😫😫
share[deleted]
Hey Dazed 😊 I'm still here now and then but mostly just checking on any notifications. I'm sure I'll be back in full force soon though so no worries there.
Unfortunately, for my security job, I didn't stick with it too long. Got tired of the same old graveyard shift in the lumber yard, all by myself with just my car, my gun and a phone, and freezing half to death in my car night after night. Worked a few night shifts in the ER, that was a bit more exciting at least. But, alas, I wasn't interested enough in the job to continue the long, grueling, graveyard shifts at the lumber yard on the bad side of town, so I quit after awhile. The only upside I had at the lumber yard was a dozen or so cats kept me company and followed me around on my hourly rounds...and helped me eat my food...lol. 😉
As for now...I am retired since 08. I think I'd rather be back at the lumber yard...lol.
No worries, Dazed :). I'm not sure if I'm receiving all notifications or if it's really just a matter of the ignore function blocking some responses. It'll get straightened out soon enough, I'm sure.
It is interesting, and sad, they can't keep up their pretenses for long. As far as I can tell, the pretenses aren't satisfying to them, and the other behavior is.
Just saw this too. All of the porn movies bumped, but it was all from the same troll with the nick "Troll". These things could be easily sorted with a mod spotting this so clear and obvious trollish behaviour with a warning and then a ban.
With the trending bar messed up they are getting annoying again, even if it has looked a lot better after the ignore button came.

Yep, it's not pretty Mahrez! And just ignore this Tyler dude, he's following everyone here and posting the same BS...as if WE can do anything about it.
WE AREN'T THE ADMIN TYLER!!
Aha, so that's who's been doing it. I haven't been around to see it. Thanks for the heads up.
shareIt's full of that crap right now at 1:55am PST time too. F*ck, Ni**ers, Fa**ot, Jew, Muslims Are Terrorists. Just a few I've noticed now.

put in a code that automatically doesn't allow profanity ridden titles on the trending

Just wanted to say I found the culprit.
Look at his post history, that guy should be banned.
How do you know that it's a guy?
I don't think they should be banned, that'd just encourage more people to follow suit.
Let the steam all from lack of attention and the problem will resolve itself.
Obvious bumps of swear titles, also he complained about "Gays" not being in the Trending Bar anymore and last but not least, he deleted all of his bumps and threads. He's trying to fly under the radar.
He's bringing nothing to the table and he's just an annoying prick, I'd ban him.
Edit: I call everyone a guy, old habits die hard.
I agree that they're bringing nothing to the table but once a banning trend is started it'll inspire others to chase one.
shareI think a banning trend already started though. Isn't Ben banned?
shareI've no idea. If true what were they banned for?
shareTrolling, I guess?
Moderator1 also asked to report all of his alt accounts and said that "Ben is being dealt with".
Edit: Found the thread
Fair enough then, they were certainly controversial but no more so than I (From what I read of their postings). Perhaps they went over the line, It would be interesting to see what it was that would have caused for them to be banned. I mean that line is pretty attractive, I can see the appeal of getting close to it.
shareI have no idea. But Ben seemed to have history with people around here already.
So really I don't know.
I've seen the thread you added now. It does seem like some efforts were put into looking into that account. Probably for the best just to leave it in the hands of the mods/Jim as guessing what was done could be just as harmful as what was actually done.
