MovieChat Pet Peeves Of Yours?


Posts and/or posters. No need to name anyone who is still active here.

I wish there was more movie talk... I get tired of the gossip and trivia, and I don't like putting people on ignore, but the good posts get buried, so sometimes I have to. It would be nice if there were more movie thread ideas, as opposed to the simple stuff (which I have posted) like "Favorite thrillers" or "Top 10 Movies Ever?"

Bots
Socks
Trolls
Spitefulness

Do you get suspicious when you see someone with a low post count... Like (42)?

I don't think I've ever seen bots here, though

reply

A low post count is a giveaway (unless they behave).

There are a couple of posters that are probably bots.

reply

I'm guessing the low post counts (if they were smart) would start out nice, movie-laden, and little by little, go off the deep end.

reply

That’s the crazy thing, they normally come in all guns blazing.

reply

Well there really haven't been that many new movies to discuss the past 15 months and even TV was somewhat interrupted by Covid, so I think everyone was simply coming up with some off the wall topics as a distraction.



reply

new movies are not that good anyway, in my opinion.

reply

Fair point

Manhunter appears to be cancelled, I've not heard anything about a new Stranger Things season and what the hell happened to Peaky Blinders?

reply

1, lack of movie and tv chat
2, Trolling whether it be SJW or non political
3, old plain looking format
4, why do some historical figures have a IMDB page?

reply

feel free to start a thread about something entertainment related.

reply

After the abuse I just copped from Shogun of Yonkers in wondering if I really can be bothered. What an ugly site.

reply

There’s always filmboards.

BYE BYE 🙂

it seems you won't get the chance.

reply

Abusive and aggressive posters.
Not knowing if you report them that they are actual anonymous moderators.

reply

DarkHorse/Artisan/Forsaken/TrussRod: None of the people that you reported are "anonymous moderators". But your utter inability to co-exist within a community that maintains an extremely basic and reasonable set of Community Standards has, for the FIFTH time, exposed you and led to your banishment.

Yowza! That was great shooting right there, and well deserved on the receiving end

Nice work Mod5!

Breaker 1-9, we just lost a soldier.

What about posters who generally use the General board to seek attention through divisive topics that belong on the Politics board, like Intothenight/Jason46/TheMan18?

reply

I interpret that rule ("No politics on the GD board") literally and only enforce it when threads discuss political parties, candidates or public officials. That is generally not going to include all matters of public policy, or other topics that might be viewed as divisive.

reply

people who say it's slow here compared to imdb but they don't start any threads.

reply

IMDB is done. There's nothing there but a few asking questions about how to navigate the site.

You can't even use your original name to post! I once posted something, "Movie Question", and got absolutely nothing.

This place has enough people - just not enough movie conversation. I try my best to come up with an interesting movie thread idea, and urged Allaby to do the same, and within hours, he had 50 replies, so we have the people, just not enough people creating posts related to movies. I wish you'd do more - I'll respond.

reply

Rudeness and sarcasm.

That is all.

reply

Yeah, understandable.

reply

if i couldn't be rude and sarcastic sometimes, i'd explode !

reply

Same. Sometimes I knowingly feed a troll. Sometimes I knowingly step right in a bear trap. And sometimes a fool's mouth calls for blows.

When I'm rude or sarcastic, I try to keep it shy of bloodshed.

reply

always a good policy. you just want to wing 'em.

SHOGUN OF YONKERS TECATE ADDICTION WHICH LEADS TO HIS CONSTANT TROLLING AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR.

Can we persuade him to switch to Bud Light?
