This site has really gone downhill


There are a few good posters here and the occasional good discussion, but there are lots of garbage posters and stupid discussions.

reply

I'm new here but I feel that there was no hill to go downhill from. IMDB was a bit better, but this have plateaued since its inauguration.

reply

FALSE.

Sigh, yeah, I guess so.

He's insulting all of us.

What makes the OP think he's better than all of us?

reply

Who is this "all of us" you are referring to ? Is it some kind of secret society ?

reply

Whoever the OP is referring to with this: "there are lots of garbage posters"

reply

I see. So "all of us" has become "whoever"...

reply

Then start some 'non-stupid' discussions.

As for the 'garbage posters' that's a matter of opinion, but very arrogant of you.

reply

I have attempted to start discussions multiple times. Often film related posts get little to no replies.

reply

I personally prefer film-related discussions, but it helps if I'm familiar with the films being discussed.

reply

By garbage posters he is referring to people who come to a film discussion board and post divisive, political hot button topics.

reply

You're a mind reader then are you, or one of Allaby's sock puppets perhaps ?

reply

Ok. Lol

reply

you know you dabble in that backwoods bayou voodoo

reply

I stay clear of that side of the bayou these days. πŸ˜€

reply

smart move

reply

Allaby has sock accounts?

reply

are you the 3rd sock of this poster ? it was posted yesterday & you saw the proof

reply

I thought they were joking. Allaby once said that someguy1 really pissed him off so why would he just come out and say they were the sock account just because I asked them?

reply

Look at who's spouting off about "very arrogant."🀨 You've been that way since your arrival here, you consistently pot-calling-the-kettle-black creep.

And as far as "insulting all of us", lame and transparent attempt at trying to be a rabble rouser. I've been here since shortly after the inception of the site. He didn't insult me and you don't speak for me. πŸ‘Š

reply

When people make statements like this "but there are lots of garbage posters", I'm not sure *I'm* the 'rabble rouser' here.

Also, by saying "He didn't insult me" you're implying that the problem is someone else, so I'm not sure I'm the one being divisive.

reply

Twice saying "I'm not sure" here indicates a measure of guilt on your part. In other words, you're questioning yourself, which brings us to the old expression of, "If the shoe fits..."

reply

"I'm not sure" doesn't indicate guilt. It indicates good faith and open-mindedness. I present the evidence, and leave others to make their own minds up, rather than telling anyone what to think.

reply

It's not unlike the Last Supper when Jesus said, "One of you here will betray me tonight." Judas almost immediately piped up with, "Is it I, Lord?" Also, Edgar Allan Poe's, A Tell Tale Heart. Also, a Freudian slip, or "a tell" in poker. Take your pick.🀨

reply

Yes it has. A lot of people have either left altogether or become occasional instead of regular posters, myself included. That's because the place has quite a number of new ( as well as the old ) active nuisance posters who are either boring, annoying or "passive-aggressive" types who post thinly veiled insulting posts. By accident or design they have made Moviechat a less interesting and less pleasant place to be.

It has always been this way really but in the past there were more quality posters and quality posts to even things out, more or less. But that's not the case now.


reply

Try to ignore them, to save room for those who are serious.

reply

When did you notice an apparent decline?

reply

This is the end result of hands-off moderation. This is what happens. The floor is ceded to trolls and activists, and more 'normal' or relevant posters slowly leave until the community becomes a hollowed out shell of what it once was.

reply

SADLY...THIS IS TRUE.

reply

I'm sorry you felt compelled to delete your username, but let's endeavour to focus on film-related discussions. But you need to tell us what discussions you regard as worthwhile.

reply

generally, THIS kind, about little girls

reply

A 12 year old? Weird, and not a little creepy.

Hmm...maybe those of us who somehow offended Allaby have nothing to apologise for.

reply

YOU ARE TOP FIVE WORST PEOPLE ON THIS SITE...NOBODY CARES WHAT YOUR OPINION IS.

reply

Firstly, that's rude and offensive.

Secondly, I was one of the first people to join this site. You all think I'm a 'newcomer' but I was here from the start, but left for a few years.

Thirdly, how am I in the wrong for calling out an apparent pedo, based on the evidence 123Guy provided me?

Fourthly, if you're defending a pedo, maybe you need to look at yourself.

Fifthly, stop being unnecessarily mean to people. I've done nothing wrong.

reply

YOU ARE A NEWCOMER...PERIOD...YOU ARE AWFUL AND LAME AS WELL....THERE WAS NO PEDO...JUST YOU AND SOME OTHER DUMBASSES BEING OVERLY TOUCHY ABOUT SOMETHING BECAUSE YOU ARE INTO IT...NOT BECAUSE IT BOTHERS YOU.

reply

I don't know enough about the guy to judge, but this comment "I follow her on instagram. She is one of the best young models. She seems like a very sweet, charming and pretty girl. Her sister is cute too," is rather creepy when applied to an 11/12-year-old.

true

We apologize for Kowalski and every single one of us wishes we could give "him" away.

reply

I CAN'T HELP IT.. I HAVE NO LIFE AND JUST POST HERE ALL DAY.. SAD

Oh no, there's two of them!!!!!!!!!!

TRY GETTING A HOBBY.

I don't see any more garbage here than anywhere else on the internet tbh.

reply

^^^THIS^^^

reply

Agreed. And as rude as people can be, it feels a lot less judgemental than, say, Twitter, mostly because it's a smaller community, so one doesn't find randomers coming along taking exception to something you've said. One can mostly predict the responses, good and bad, one is going to get from the other members here.

reply

That’s part of the problem. Garbage is commonplace these days.

No problemo! Louie to the rescue.😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49CHQID_xsY
