This *is* a movie forum, correct?

Let us also remember that, in addition to having nowhere else to vent their impotent rage, these people have accomplished nothing significant with their lives and thus feel compelled to act out in this manner.

Oh, I was active on the IMDb forums for near twenty year, so I don't so much mind the lack of moderation, I just miss the option to hide the Politics forum posts from IMDb's General Discussion aka the "latest posts" feed here.

But yeah, as reluctant as I am to put any user on "ignore" here, I'm kind of seeing a pattern of some newer posters appearing to post nothing but political posts, so I might have to start. :/

Part of it is the design. There's a dedicated movie/TV discussion forum but it's buried below general/politics. If they were alongside general, it would be better.

If there are more threads about movies, I will of course reply to them as well. Also even the existing movie related threads don't have that many replies.

I am someone who loves movies from the 70s-90s. But I am not that niche. The lesser B movie threads go over my head.

At the same time, I suspect a bunch of newbies are put off all the time by the extremist shit-slinging that occurs on here.

Dang, OTB, getting ad hominemed by you was not on my bingo card for tonight. I hope and suspect you misunderstood my points. Slightly edited OP [in brackets] for clarity. IMDb (and f|b, which more closely copied its format) had an option called "Include Politics posts in General Discussion?" with a checkbox the user could check or not.

See, I wasn't suggesting eliminating boards from *the* site, just from *my* sight, specifically in *my* "latest posts" feed, because I come to a site called "moviechat" to talk about movies. And sure, it's fun to occasionally discus other topics with people you share a common interest with, but I still question why anyone would come to a movie forum site and create *nothing but* political posts, seeing as how there are plenty of more appropriate forums out there that cater to politics. But hey, it's a free country and of course IMDb had a Politics forum, but that little checkbox really gave each user the option to cut down on the signal to noise ratio in the General Discussion feed.

Outstanding work! Might even get me to use FF again, or Waterfox. Can't remember why I installed the latter, but it's there...

Thanks!

STOP DOING IT...PROBLEM SOLVED.
