Who has recently been banned from IMDb v2.0?


I just wanted to register but they banned me for no reason? I'm still shocked

reply

A number of people have reported the same problem. I think Stratego was the most recent target.

I don't know how they are getting away with using "imdb" as part of their name. Surprised they haven't been hit with a cease-and-desist letter yet.

reply

Thanks for your reply dear. At least now I know one thing - I'm not alone with this

reply

You're not. When I was looking at alternatives to IMDb message boards, I found this site in it's early days and people were criticizing IMDB2.0. Apparently the administrator is an asshole.

reply

Not exactly "for no reason", but I was banned because another poster (who'd apparently stalked me around here), went beserk because they didn't agree with what I said. I didn't insult anyone, call anyone names or said anything offensive. I had been posting there for at least 6 months without any problems. I'm sure I got banned because I criticised the site in a thread over here.

They banned Daisy, of all people. Sweet, lovely, sunshiny Daisy.

Nobody puts Daisy in a corner.

reply

"Nobody puts Daisy in a corner."

LOL!

But seriously, I agree, completely weird they'd banned our sweet and lovely Daisy.

reply

As opposed to ME???!!!

reply

Well you're our feisty, tall, blond, and hot Stratego! Not *quite* the same as being sweet, but almost ;)

Hey, unconditional love means accepting me for the trollop that I am!

I already did,StrategošŸ˜‰

Look, I'm a trollop, I will always be on the lookout for greener pastures. That's just the way I am. But I promise I will always keep Moviechat on the side!

reply

Thanks, cause I was actually shocked. and I had to lol at that too! :)

reply

Thanks for sticking up for me! I had to lol at the "Nobody Puts Daisy in a Corner" :)
and for saying how sweet I am.. you are too

It was crazy when I was banned because they didn't even give me a reason why. I had told the owner there was a video on youtube talking about how long it takes to register there and get accepted, but why he banned me if not for that.. I'll never know. They should take my stupid posts down if they aren't going to let me on. I'm glad I got banned though because it sent me in this direction. I hardly had posted over there anyways, it was just the first one I came across when IMDb was shutting theirs down.

reply

Yeah but I'm back to square-one as far as trying to visualize you. I felt confident I had you pegged accurately with the Doris Day characterization in the Who Looks Like Who thread. šŸ˜‰

reply

The banned thing throws off the innocence? Watch the video clip I had sent him, could I have gotten banned for that? Its not even me... Anyways, I'm a brunette at least. haha, so you'll have to guess again at what I look like.

reply

" The banned thing " didn't even enter into my thinking. Actually, my first impression had been this: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/20900000/Dawn-Wells-as-Mary-Ann-gilligans-island-20954486-640-480.jpg . Any closer ?

reply

Yah, but i'm really pale. and don't wear ribbons in my hair. So maybe not. hehe

reply

It's still gotta be closer than Daisy Duck. šŸ˜

reply

Yes, yes. much. Anyone get close to guessing what you look like?

reply

No but I did post a strong hint in that thread.

reply

I'll have to look at that again and give a guess of my own. :)

reply

Ok Stratego. My situation is a bit different. I visited that forum as a Guest (during 2 weeks) but only today I decided to register and VOILA, I am banned. I'll be honest, I had some problems with reCAPTCHA while registrating.

By the way, do you visit The Movie DB? That one looks good

reply

They don't have the archived imdb boards and threads.

reply

I got it. I guess I just liked their design and relatively "wide" community but if they don't respect other users then **** them!

reply

I also registered over there, but like TexasJack says, no IMDb archives and not much discussion either.

reply

Getting banned during registration? They must have it like as if its a private forum or something now. Does anyone know that is there? Not that I really care, just curious.

reply

Tell me about it...tmdb is the same.

reply

I haven't signed up there, that I can remember doing so anyways. If I have I didn't post or use it much.

reply

I'm a member there also,but i can't even sign in with my username.They have the habit on sending notifications even though no one is replying directly to you.I contact them about my issue,but it's like i talked to a wall...private club,indeed.

reply

The IMDb drama never ends.

reply

It's been a while since i visited that site...just checked...still a memberšŸ˜‰

reply

They do ban for no reason. I think maybe trying to make it a private board or something. Its crazy. When I got banned I was so shocked. It stopped bugging me after I bit and said its them, not me. I heard they had a mass ban over there and just got rid of a bunch of people.


Well I did send the admin this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c900Ba57wHg in a private message to see if he had seen it. Must have thought it was me making it?, but I wasn't banned until a little while after that. Maybe he's paranoid and thought it was me and I was going to start bashing him on YouTube. Regardless, I think I should have been talked to before being banned. That's just my 2 cents on this. No great loss.

reply

Check out his second video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a93dMKsi6KQ
Banned for no reason. I have no idea who this person is, on or off the internet I just happened upon it when I did a search on Youtube for imdbv2, and this is what comes up. I thought maybe someone did a video comparing the new sites, but nope it was just those two that I found.

reply

Good one Ben.
