not helping them. Let me explain. I come to the MCU and DCEU board because they are fun. I love watching the arguments between both fan bases. Seeing posters like DC Fan stumble all over himself trying to convince everyone that BvS and SS are actually good movies is pure entertainment. I can talk about movies anywhere, but it is here where I can watch train wreck after train wreck. How is locking these threads helping anyone? What does it accomplish. When it is all said and done, these boards are not serious. They are entertainment. Let us be entertained. I understand some regulation, sure. We cannot have people using inappropriate language or posting inappropriate pictures. Judging by some of the posts on here, I assume we do have some grade school posters. However, arguing with each other is like 60% of what message boards are all about. Let us argue over DC and Marvel. It is hilarious and provides me entertainment in a serious world.

I agree to an extent. I think personal attacks, racist/sexist slurs and bad language should definitely be moderated... but the fanboy wars is majority of what keeps these boards interesting and is a staple of pretty much any comicbook-based discussion forum.

People can argue and have disagreements. If everyone shared the same opinion then the place would be boring.
However when interesting threads get made and time and time again these threads get derailed entirely because of personal insults thrown back and forth then that's not ok and ruins that person's thread.
Yesterday a thread about Thor turned into an argument that involved racism, personal threats, making fun of a user's deceased mother and felony time.
That is not ok. Belittling other users and making them feel like shit is not ok.
As you said this board is not serious, it is here for fun and entertainment. So there's no place for the constant fighting, provoking and shitposting that goes on anymore.

Did you MEAN for it to be funny? Do you even get that that's a hilarious sentence to sit at your keyboard and type out? Well, it is.

This is a comic book movie forum after all. I just really enjoy the 'war' between DC and Marvel. It makes these boards interesting. Thank you for the work that you do.

I enjoy the banter, especially when it's clever and tongue in cheek. I'm a Marvel fan and I think coldenhaulfield and Dennis Reynolds are two of the best when it comes to poking the bear on this board. I get a kick out of it and they make solid points. Some other posters constantly come off as negative to the point of being angry, with a serious axe to grind with society-- but that's their problem. Ultimately, use the ignore feature if you don't want to read what somebody has to say. It's amazingly easy to avoid people you don't want to talk to online.
And I agree with colden-- this is one of the best sentences you will ever read: I'm tempted to make a custom t-shirt out of that.

I try keep open as much as possible. I usually send personal messages,with scabab added, to a member and asking them to look at their behavior and adapt. Everyone has responded positively. I must admitt I have been somewhat absent the last few days but my daytime job is quite hectic right now but I have the impression the scolding and verbal abuse is less. And that's all I wanted.

Marvel vs DC discussions are natural for what is currently going on with these movies. I find the comparisons interesting so I'm not against people having those discussions or taking their sides.
People just need to do so without insulting each other, constantly, in every thread they meet up in.
Hopefully my tampering with people's posts and threads is something that's only going to happen for this short period and eventually we will get a norm where people don't keep provoking and insulting people, leaving me with nothing to do here.

You mean like I let you give your own negative opinion on Ant-man and didn't let that thread of yours get disrupted by unnecessary arguments which then allowed for multiple other people to then give their own opinions and discuss the movie? Without my "policing" that thread would have been nothing more than you and Raptor arguing.

But just doing shadow edits to people's posts is fucking retarded. It makes you look like you're on a fucking power trip. How about this: If you take issue with a post, PM the poster and suggest an edit. And LEAVE IT UP TO THEM if they wanna change it or not, knowing that by not changing it, the thread could get derailed and ultimately locked. But these shadow edits are sooooo fucking stupid.

No thats not how this works. The idea is to prevent these arguments from happening full stop. Not to let people argue and insult people and derail threads and then do something about it. What good is that? These things need to be nipped in the bud immediately so if it means shadow editing to remove unnecessary insults to stop things from escalating then that is what I will be doing.

What good is this forum gonna be when people leave because they can't make a fucking post without you editing it like some asshole? Just recommend a change if you're upset. Don't tweak every little thing so you can show off your new mod powers, bro.

But nobody will insult or belittle anybody else for making it. The majority of posters on this board have followed that very simple principle and I have not had to touch a single one of their posts. Don't be an asshole and I won't have to edit peoples posts like an asshole.

Why can't admin add another board where people can argue about anything they like and nobody can bitch and whine about it because they will know exactly what they are getting into before they read the board? (Obviously no doxxing, no porn etc. but pretty much anything else goes)

Well, the reason mods were appointed was because MCU fans like weirdraptor couldn't handle any negative comments about MCU so weirdraptor reported every anti-MCU post. weirdraptor is like the tattletale in school who ran to the principal and reported every little incident.
Then there's also MCU fans like seahawksraawk00 who constantly goes around attacking anyone who isn't an MCU fan. Twice he's attacked me for asking questions about MCU trailers (The Punisher trailer and the Black Panther trailer). I've never read those comic books so I was just asking questions about what was shown in the trailers, but he seems to be against people asking questions about MCU movies and TV shows probably because he wants people to just blindly worship MCU movies and TV shows like most MCU fans do.

Mods were appointed because Iron Panther started multiple whining threads and admin caved.
