"where if you block/ignore someone, not only can you not see their posts anymore, but they can't see yours either."
I like your idea! This way if you are dealing with a very nasty "one" you could block him/her plus he/she would not be able to see your posts and continue with their vile retorts...
such as corpus.
Just the one post. I hit the minus on one and checked to see if I could read their other posts. I could. I like this way as I explained in my prior post. There's a guy over on tMDB who lit into me for spelling a word incorrectly. He not only shocked me, he did others as well. So, I blocked him even though he seems to be intelligent. Once in a while I unblock him to see if he's posted anything worth reading. If that site was set up like this, I could read his posts...just not reply to him. It's a hassle to go into your account to block and unblock! Odd thing over there, the profanity filter bleeps the original, but if quoted it's not bleeped. There definitely needs to be a working filter here.
I like that! I tried it and it works. As you recall cat, we dealt with an "uno" who at times (minimal) was rational, and at those times may have had something worth reading...most of the time he was on Ignore in my case! There were a few others I had on Ignore, but when reading the quoted replies I found their posts to be interesting, especially if in an informative debate. This -/+ system is the best I've seen. Good job, Jim!

Thanks for the info. I agree with you as far as the argumentative ones...no problem. But, calling a poster an f-ing retard over and over again goes beyond the pale! Also, this humanoid keeps replying with "bump". What is the meaning of replying "bump" along with the vile verbiage?
Cat,
How do we put a poster on Ignore? There are some viscous posters replying to nice people.
Spacey is a strange bird! We tried so desperately to watch him in House of Cards. After a few episodes my husband and I looked at each other and agreed "no more!"
I have Madoff recorded, but keep putting it off. To be honest, hate to differ with you, different strokes for different folks (whatever that means) and all that, but I'm just not a fan of his. He is brilliant no doubt!
BTW, who played the bad dude in "The Vanishing"? I can't recall....was it Kiefer or Jeff?
On another topic, was it you who was having trouble with insomnia? I am having insomnia spells too frequently and I take Lunesta followed by a Phenergan! It is 4:30 here and as you can see I'm still plucking away on this iPad. As a rule my time without sleep may last around 48 hrs. But, a few weeks ago I was awake for over 60 hrs!
Go figure! The movie jacket has it as "SEVEN". In fact, most references state SEVEN...sometimes it is Se7en...
"Seven (sometimes stylized as SE7EN[3]) is a 1995 American neo-noir crime thriller film directed by David Fincher, and stars Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, John C. McGinley, R. Lee Ermey, and Kevin Spacey."
OK, I read some reviews to check if it was a slasher flick. It is not so I added it to my Netflix DVD queue. You would think I liked blood and gore (redundant?) movies since I've watched every episode of Bones and Supernatural, but I don't. Maybe it's the fear factor interspersed with the bloody knife sequences.
The following are some of the movies I don't care to view again...too disturbing:
Of course, the original "Psycho" Janet Leigh stated she stopped taking showers for a long time. I, myself, when staying in a hotel/motel never cease to think of "the shower scene"! And, I saw it when released, 1960!
"What Lies Beneath"
"Seven"
"The Vanishing"
Edited to add "Night of the Hunter" 1955 with Robert Mitchum
My bad! I was referring to "Changeling" with Angelina Jolie. I prefaced the title with a "The". I don't recall seeing "THE Changeling" which you referenced. I did a search for "Changeling". Good Grief! Are they not able to title movies differently?
For the past year I've been viewing the ID channel. I knew there were evil people in this world, but until I started watching these crime shows it didn't dawn on me how prevalent murder is...and the gruesome way some are committed! I refuse to call the perpetrators sick because they aren't....they are just plain evil!
@StyxNyx:
Your reference to "The Lovely Bones" made me shiver again. That movie was so disturbing it stayed with me for several days. Just as "The Changeling" did which also led me to do research resulting in further discomfort. Movies of this genre should be on my "Not to Watch" list.
@Dan:
"If you want to kill a site"
(I refuse to quote your trashy words)
And you want to be a moderator? How would you accomplish being one with your propensity to use lewd language in your posts? Hmmm?
Cat, as to your problem regarding the following:
"The owner of tMDb did something to tweak the boards a week or more ago so I can no longer see the first inch or two of any thread names or the posts in it, so I stopped visiting for that reason."
Strange? I also use Safari on an iPad. I'm not having the problem you are seeing (or not seeing). I wish I had an answer for you.
Thank you much! Please read my reply to StyxNyx as it pertains to all you nice folks!
StyxNyx and others:
Thank you all for welcoming me. I had registered before under kspkap, but could not recall my password. Ain't it fun! Anyhow, I looked for a link to reset, but could not find one? So I registered again as a new user by adding an "s" to my screen ID.
I had perused this site (liking the layout), but was aghast at some of the posts! Definitely locker room talk! I understand the "anything goes" board, but pornographic posts should not be permitted. I did reply (as did others) to a poster letting him know how disgusting and childish his comment was....then I left the board. If I recall the "report" flag wasn't available at that time. This site most assuredly needs a profanity filter. Hateful replies laced with the f-bombs, are not a good thing.
StyxNyx, I'm sorry I don't recall Woodstock60, but maybe if I saw your Avatar I would. Does Jim plan on adding a way to use Avatars? Also, sig lines, which btw, will eventually become available on tMDB. To be honest, MovieChat is more user friendly so I could definitely find my parking place here.
It's apparent these two guys, Jim & Travis, have been swamped since we iMDB refugees have swarmed over to the sites. I've noticed some posters on both sites are complaining these sites are not like IMDB. Someone replied to one of the complainers "There's one thing tMDB has that IMDB doesn't have....message boards!" That reply should quell some of the griping.
Glad I found one of my cyber/pals! This site desperately needs a profanity filter. I read a few hostile replies to you...laced with profanity. I've been over on tMDB site. Travis, the administrator/engineer is like Jim here...by himself, except he does have some mods. He's very receptive to our requests. I think he works on that site 24/7! He has added so much since we flooded his site. Ignore, Profanity Filter, Preview of Post, etc. He's working on adding PM's
Hey Cat,
I found you! If you get another similar reply from me, disregard. I wrote a longer reply, but it didn't post! Suffice it to say, I've missed our discussions/debates.
