What Movie Chat needs...
...is a way for user to block certain topics (Trump, Biden, massmurderers and serial killers, etc) from trending.
shareI've submitted that request.
I would even be willing to PAY for a service that would allow discussion on movies just to put a dent in the trolls.
I also believe the trolls/bots would shrink knowing we could bypass their attempts to keep their celebrity/show on top of the trending.
But we know the owners are just as happy with clicks from trolls as they are from the genuine chatters.
So discussions you don't like or want to see are trolls/bots?
Typical simplistic view. Ever thought more people want to discuss those subjects.
As shown below you don't like, don't look at it, don't view it, don't read it and don't respond to it. I am amazed how many people are triggered by an image on a screen that they don't even have to interact with.
You're not being fare.
This ability would allow us to streamline what we see.
I can't understand why you would be so negative about it.
Think of it this way. Many people like older movies and would like to discuss them. However they are outnumbered both in population and computer/moviechat use. Their interests are pushed aside just because of popularity and they could easily just edit shows or people out until the trend eventually shows only what interests them.
I suppose it would require a lot of personal data compilation that someone would have to pay for but I would like an honest estimate instead of hostile opinion.
Very few people would pay for that, the troll count will stay the same.
Personally, it's not a good idea to close yourself off from people with differing opinions or even trolls.
I disagree.
We already have to pay extra just to block phone and text messages which are just trolls operating in a different strategy.

You mean censor
Their interests are pushed aside
How? Literally and I do mean literally no one is stopping anyone going to any movie page and starting a discussion. No one.
If you don't want to interact with anyhting on the trending page then don't. Go to the specific board and start threads. I don't see what is difficult about that.
There is plenty off the trending I don't interact with. Guess What. I don't and go into a thread I want to discuss or have an opinion on. share
sokar, you are obviously just trolling now.
I wish to control WHAT I SEE.
Censoring would be me controlling what YOU see.
You, on the other hand, want to force me to watch what I don't want to see.
THAT is censorship.

You fail to see the importance of letting people choose their product without having to sample yours.
People with cash can troll...
shareCant you just "scroll past" / "ignore" the politicians etc , in exactly the same way that you would "move on to next one" when seeing a movie you're not interested in ?
Also theres the ignore list for the actual threads from these people .
Also seeing as it looks like you're new here , dont get your hopes up with the request - changes from Our Lord Jim are few and far between.
also all new accounts get accused of being a sock puppet account of the trolls , so just brush that off till it stops.
It's not about scrolling.
It's about choosing what we are interested in OVER someone else's need to be heard.
Even if the site were limited to "movie" chat only and not celebrity I would feel the desire to limit the TYPE of movies I want to discuss. And as others do the same my targeted subject and audience would increase.
Very similar to algorithms only the user, not the site, would control the content being offered.
so you're saying if we got this "Filter out politics for those who dont want it" mod ...
..you'd then start asking for further changes to only show you the TYPE of movies you want to discuss?
how would that work?
That is what YOU are practicing NOW and you are so terrified of losing the option that you have taken to spewing presumptive lies about me.
I never indicated that was anyway near my wishes and have stated here otherwise.
I've reviewed your posts and you have NOTHING to offer anyone.
spewing presumptive lies about me.
thats very funny : "I would feel the desire to limit the TYPE of movies I want to discuss"
your words.
you have NOTHING to offer anyone.
how about the one just above when i gave that friendly advice about sock puppets , totally giving you the benefit of the doubt that arnt actually a sock puppet .
Although i see from this immediate jump into hostility , you probly are not new here , just someone starting a new account
