Jim... could you please make a News, Rumors and Gossip board....

and redirect all the comments made in those 'articles' to that specific board, so that they don't automatically start a new thread in General Discussion. The threads in General Discussion should be fresh threads started by posters, and not the result of them being automatically generated every time someone makes a comment on a News, Rumors and Gossip article.

Most of us don't want MOVIECHAT to turn into POLITICALCHAT or SPAWNINGCHAT, if you know what I mean. Ta!

Good idea,i support it😉

[–] Guitar King (5112) 8 years ago

Quit whining. General Discussion is fine the way it is.

[–] Cornelia123 (784) 8 years ago

Maybe you won't think that when I start replying to rubbish articles in the News, Rumors and Gossip tabs, one after another, so it clogs up the General Discussion, stuff you or anyone has any interest in. I bet if I did that I would be considered a troll.

[–] Guitar King (5112) 8 years ago

You seem like the type who calls everyone a troll who is interested in topics you're not interested in.

[–] [deleted] 8 years ago

Yes /\

[–] Catbookss (13664) 8 years ago

Co-sign.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

Co-co-sign. But don't send me any bills.

[–] [deleted] 8 years ago

Or at least allow us to ignore the accounts which produce the spam.

There's only a reply or report feature on their threads.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

I agree! Please do something about this. Thank you!

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

I sent Jim a letter. The address is [email protected]. Can you please do the same? I don't want to live in a virtual trailer park with bubba and his buddy.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

I'll get right on that.
LOL! Virtual trailer park! I couldn't have said it better. Very Good!

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

Thank you, Miss Margo!

Sorry but I like the feature. The stories are actually general entertainment news, it's just that hollywood is currently being very vocal about politics.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

Then perhaps it could go to the politics board?

[–] [deleted] 8 years ago

I don't think anyone is saying to get rid of it, just perhaps give it a board of it's own?

The stories are almost 100% American and we're an International community,so it figures that what Amal Clooney's farts smell like are not of interest to all of us!

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

That's like saying coverage of the O.J. Simpson murder trial was sports coverage.

Plus "Boy Born Without Nose"? Please.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

I noticed that thing about the boy.....
I didn't want to even look. That's like some headline from the Enquirer or The Star or what ever scuzzy rag you see at the checkout.
i refuse to look at anything here on GD that isn't from an actual poster.
i have no problem with this crud having it's own board. If people like this sort of thing, great!
Keep it in the checkout line!

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

In this age of automation *cough, you're fired!, cough* that would be the self-checkout line.

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 8 years ago

I completely agree. This "news, rumors and gossip" feature has really changed the general discussion board, and not for the better. It needs to go back to the way it was.

[–] croft_alice (12180) 8 years ago

Agreed😉
