Yep, Ackbar jokes and embracing the wonderous is what this board has been reduced to 😔 Yea, good sir! ’Twould be a seat of majesty, another Eden, a demi-paradise! I’m moving to the Star Wars boards. That place is still lawless enough for me to ply my trade. |

if you get a temporary ban then how are you supposed to know when it's up? In the case of a temporary ban, the expiration is stated right on the login screen. It looks something like this, but I believe it says banned instead of disabled:  |

They forgot how to talk about the actual content of the films a long time ago. Any topic relating to what actually is going on is usually dropped for an echo chamber of the same tired whines. |

Im just talking about the direction those boards have fallen to. |

Im just talking about the direction those boards have fallen to. And to think: I personally worked so hard out of the gate to create an inclusive, welcoming place for fans to come and share their opinions about all filmic installments of the saga. I wonder why it's the way it is now. 🤔 |

I don’t envy them their task. I don't know what you heard, but I'm fairly certain it wasn't me. In any case, no. I think they have their hands full here. Count your blessings, though, for I'm not as forgiving as they are. I lost the motivation to "rehabilitate" a long time ago. I tolerate quite a bit, but should there come a time to ban and move on, I don't argue. |

Holding on to the identity they feel they would lose if they sought to make sense of things vs seeking to make nonsense. I leave the majority of my thoughts of the Force at a better place now. Innit? I tried a little bit ago, and it hasn't changed here. |

So attacks on fandoms would include saying fans of a certain franchise are "manchildren" "kiddies" "the lowest common denominator" "the dumb masses" or anything to that effect, correct? Correct. Can we say "MCU movies are for children" or "MCU movies are for kids"? That's not the same thing as saying MCU fans are children or kiddies. It's similar to saying " Ralph Breaks the Internet is a kids' movie", which isn't the same thing as saying "Wreck-It Ralph fans are kids". |

Hauntedknight87 and scabab, I implore you not to give him the go-ahead. |

I tried a little bit ago, and it hasn't changed here. That's true. "Sad!" I just looked through the SW boards here a little more thoroughly. Wow, what a wasteland of remnants of tired complaints. (Excluding Salzmank's wonderful notes upon watching the OT, of course) Looks like even the head curmudgeons have punched themselves out. I don't think the little red guy will find much to battle with.
I also looked at Jedi Council Forums, just to make sure it isnt catching. Haven't been there in a while they seem to be still going relatively strong.
Oh well, it's all what one makes of things.

It looks something like this, but I believe it says banned instead of disabled: Don't wanna bring up old stuff, but when I was temp banned I did not get a screen like that. No countdown. I assumed it was permanent. Unless this is a new feature? "What?!" you're probably thinking. "When did I ban an Ackbar! I LOVE Ackbars! You guys are national treasures!" Ah, don't even worry about it. It's all water near a bridge! I totally deserved it anyway. I was being a real Quarren that day. Three days in the ban trap and I emerged a changed squid. Innit? |

Oh my new buddy, I think you are getting a little too worried here. Looks like the mods are trying to keep the personal vitriol down here vs making opinions on the films a problem. But here, I'll spout out some things here and see if I get banned. If you don't hear from me again, then I wouldn't do it: Hey everybody Marvel movies are for kids!!!! (I put three exclamation marks to show how much I meant it) Now let's see what hap........... |
