This is a movie forum, correct?

Only three of the sixteen posts on the first page of my "latest posts" feed were about movies; the rest was political BS.

**Mods: I implore you to implement an option to [hide] the Politics forum, and ideally, certain "celebrities'" forums from [one's personal] "latest posts" feed.

As this is an election year, I fear it's only going to get worse as time goes by, and I'd rather not break my streak of 0 users blocked here. If I notice certain users not even bothering to discuss movies here, I can only assume they are bad actors and though I despise censorship of any kind, it kind of defeats the purpose of coming to a "movie forum" after a while, and a guy can only take so much...

And yet here you are discussing politics

NOT REALLY.

This is Movie Chat, so you are correct that it is a movie forum. But, in the General Discussion area, anyone can post anything (except politics, which, unfortunately, some do). That is why it is called General Discussion.
I would think if someone did not like this area, they would ignore it. To me, that would be the ADULT thing to do.

People seem to forget how easy it is to just ignore stuff.

Signed, million man.

[–] Magicdave (837) 4 months ago

I agree.

Except my OP was was (hopefully) clearly referring to the "latest posts" feed, which aggregates all new posts made on the site, especially the ones in individual movie forums, so I don't miss the whole purpose of the site, which was to mimic what made the IMDb boards so special. Except IMDb had and filmboards has a little check box that allows one to omit posts from a few very busy boards, including politics from that feed. Really cuts down on the amount of scrolling one has to do to find posts about movies.

If you need further clarification, see my reply to OTB earlier in the thread.

It was just movies 35 years ago. iMdb.

Had to look it up. Holy crap. I was on BBSes in 1985, but didn't see the www until 1995-ish, and registered on IMDb in 2000, though I'd been just using it for a while before. I was a late adopter! :D

“AND BEAT THE DICKHEADS OFF”

Are you sure about this?

[–] Kowalski (75520) 4 months ago

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GOTTA BE POINTING OUT WHEN I AM ODDLY HOMOSEXUAL UNINTENTIONALLY?🤣

[–] AndyKing1967 (38068) 4 months ago

I like laughing at funny stuff.

[–] Nanook (1937) 4 months ago

Haven't found a better one yet, especially with forums for each movie. Bless your caps lock heart for your enthusiasm.

So feet are fair play? :D
