what type of moderation is there on this board?
will they ban you for being controversial? like some of the other board will.
sharewill they ban you for being controversial? like some of the other board will.
shareNo.. This is the only website I've ever encountered that has MODS that are seldom seen, but would rather be heard and they don't believe in this shadow banning bullshit like many other movie websites do and trust me, I'm notorious for this at sites like "World of KJ Index" or "Box Office Theory" that have MODS that just dissect anything and everything you post and if you so much as even hint at supporting President Trump?? You're done.. No kidding.. To be banned at a site like this?? You'd have to probably murder someone
shareok that sounds good. Thanks for your response.
shareDepends on how controversial you are. As long as it isn't violent or hateful,you should be okay.
shareMy question is, the posters who post something with their username "Deleted", have they been banned and somehow, find a way back in or what??
shareDeleted usually means the person deleted their own account. I don't know how they could post if their account was deleted, either by themselves or by a mod.
shareIs a bug. If you delete, but don't logout, you can keep posting as deleted, until you finally logoff
shareYes this. I haven't tried it myself, but the way I heard it is if you are logged in on multiple devices (desktop/mobile) and delete your account on one, you can still post on the other as deleted as long as you don't log out.
shareThe problem with that is many on the left are now claiming merely disagreeing with someone is hateful.
shareOn this site, disagreement is fine, as long as you aren't threatening or harassing or promoting violence. Lots of posters have posted controversial comments and didn't get in trouble.
shareI know! They are so stupid and childish, they think "words are violence." I would think getting hit in the face or beaten on counts more so as "violence" than someone saying something mean and hurtful to you.
And this coming from someone that got hit on the head with a locker lock at age 12 and still has the scar to prove it, while enduring years of peers being mean and nasty to her.
There is a specific board for Politics:
https://moviechat.org/bd0000082/Politics
As the header says: -
General Discussion
Talk about anything here...except politics.
what part of this is political?
shareA few years ago MovieChat had a reputation for kneejerk bans and deletions. All that did was stifle growth. Thankfully the offending Mods are long gone.
Mod4 and Mod5 both do a good job of allowing free speech yet putting the kibosh on offensive content.
I've been here since 2 weeks after site started (probably). I have posted shit sometimes just to gauge their response.
I've seen maybe 20 mod posts.
They read everything, but extremely rarely reply. They're like the Loch Ness Monster. Or alien pods that pop on the radar of a US destroyer.
You cannot see them, but they're up to something.
Boo!
I beg to differ. Mods can't read everything. They will, however, review posts that are reported and keep a general eye on things. My experience is that the mods do their best to moderate with a light hand. I appreciate that Mod5 chimes in to answer questions or assist in addressing glitches that sometimes happen.
shareIt's definitely not Reddit, Facebook, Twatter, or Instagram, that's for sure. They'll ban you at the drop of a hat if you even hint at not being hard-left. Here, nobody seems to care, which is great :D
shareare you on the left?
shareNo. According to them, I'm an evil, insane monster that worships a false orange god and wants to kill everyone and burn cities down.
The irony is so lost on them that I laugh at their stupidity frequently.
So are you banned from all of reddit, Facebook, Twitter (you know your idol wants you to call it X now, don't you) and Instagram?
shareJust look at the scum who are allowed to post their hate here on a daily basis. If you wish to join the scum, you'll probably think the moderation is great.
sharecan you show me an example of hate?
shareLiterally every actress's page is full of at least one "..she's disgusting, an ugly abomination, and probably hates all men.." type thread, just for starters.
shareare they disgusting and ugly though?
shareCompared with what? You?
shareAre you calling me ugly and disgusting? wouldnt that make you "scum" according to your own logic?
sharePerhaps.
How do would you feel if I opened up several threads imploring everyone to despise you because I think (or claimed to think) you were an ugly, disgusting, terrible evil person and I accused anyone who likes or just tolerates you of being toxic, evil and equally ugly and disgusting?
That would be amusing. Why dont you give it a shot.
shareAre you saying you don't know how you would feel about there being lots of threads from people you haven't met expressing hatred for you?
Weird.
Here's a better question. Why would I care what anyone on this board thinks of me?
Convince me that I should care.
Isn't caring about whether your posts are accepted here or not just the same thing? You are concerned about being popular with the right people.
Considering how uncomfortable my replies are making you, it would appear that moderation is the least of your potential worries.
"You are concerned about being popular with the right people."
Definitely an Achilles heel for some posters here.
I hate you all for ever
