I know we're pretty new here, but I'm wondering if there have been any bannings, thus far? What do you care? You would probably blame the admin's for banning them.

Wait, what? Silent Siren and Morlock were some of the first people I encountered here and I never saw them misbehave; though I did find it strange she changed her profile picture so often. I was also curious how she amassed so many posts as well. What happened? I think Blue Jay and that young girl (don't something) are the only ones left I recognize from when I first joined. I felt a negative vibe from Silent Siren from the get go. Seemed to have a chip on her shoulder. Then I saw a post of hers in classic film that sealed my impression of her. I was indifferent to Morlock until he agreed with something in the same SS post.
Not surprised people like that are among the most active users. Too bad because they both could have been solid contributors.
In short, there was some stuff that Siren posted that was questionable. She was asked to tone it down by the admin and she instead requested to have all of her posts deleted and she left.

This is definitely true. She'd posted about "not liking" actress Norma Shearer and confessed to having seen only one film of hers. When I very POLITELY suggested she might watch a few more Shearer movies before denigrating her so horribly, Silent Siren had a meltdown. She called me every name in the book and got others to do the same. I let it go. Then, in another thread about "first troll shots fired," people were talking about a particular member whom they didn't like and wanted to ban...and the site had only been operational for a few days! When I wrote something along the lines of, "let this be a new slate, and let's forget about the IMDB," Silent Siren had another meltdown, followed by "kuatorises," who jumped on the old bandwagon. They told me I had my head up my "keister," amongst other sweet-natured tidbits. After more calls for my account to be deleted, I contacted the administrators. Within a few hours, she'd disappeared completely. I didn't want to complain about her, but that kind of abuse has to be nipped in the bud. Apparently, she didn't take well to criticism and decided to delete her account. Oh, well...that's entirely her decision. She could've chosen to play nice, instead. But noooo.

No, people were talking about a particular member who posted dick pics and for some bizarre reason you had a problem with me reporting it. You will not lie about my motives or misrepresent the situation. Didn't like? No, I don't even know who the person was, let alone disliked them. I reported them because of the dick pics.

I didn't "have a problem with you reporting it." I had a problem with you calling for someone's banning. That's not your decision, is it? And your friend, Silent Siren, was right there, knitting beside the guillotine. Come on.
The first posting I read from you in that thread--which was the FIRST post, since you started the thread--was: "I see one of the losers from IMDb has made his way over here. Report, ignore, repeat."
Doesn't say anything about dick pictures. It struck me that you were on the lookout for people you'd labeled "trolls" from the IMDB, and you were encouraging others to report them. When I remarked about that, you tore me a new one. Please don't misrepresent the situation to make yourself out as an innocent.
Is THAT the kind of atmosphere we want here? Obviously, Silent Siren wanted it, and look where it got her. She's no longer "God." Sigh.

A DICK PIC – a fact that can be confirmed by the moderators. You are God damned right I encouraged people to report that. You then proceeded to lecture me and said I was as bad as the person who posted the picture. Your God damned right I tore into you after that completely baseless comparison and shot at my character. And even now, after practically admitting you did not have the whole story, you still come after me? Even if you don't have the balls to apologize, you would think that at the very least that you would shut up at this point. Save some face for Christ sake.

I'm not "coming after you." Relax. You mentioned NOTHING about a "dick pic" when you began that thread, not until I remarked that we should all leave that stuff at the IMDB. THAT'S when you brought up the "dick pics," something I was unaware of. But instead of responding nicely, you got all testy--just like this last response from you.
Relax, dude. You'll pop a blood vessel. Is there really any reason to resort to name-calling? That's junior high stuff. It isn't edgy.

This forum is definitely going to die if it's going to have strict moderation. The lack of moderation was one of the reasons why IMDB message boards were so revered (Excluding the thin-skinned types).

The lack of moderation was one of the reasons why IMDB message boards were so revered (Excluding the thin-skinned types). You've obviously never been the target of a troll who went so far as to hack your Ebay and Facebook accounts. That happened to me, and I don't want to see stuff like that happen here. Yeah, if someone posts rude pics as spam, I can understand calling for their banning. But I don't think we should call for someone's deletion because they disagree with you or you remember them from the IMDB or whatever. It's contrary to maintaining a good feeling. I applaud the moderators; they're right on the ball.

The moderation here is not strict. However, i agree, some internet forums are highly strict and the environment there is that of a class room. I don't want to link that famous Pink Floyd song here.

I have myself left forums because the moderation became draconian, but I have also seen forums disintegrate because of lack of moderation (the moderators themselves often being no better than the rest). The internet makes children of us all - we need our nannies.

The first response to that thread was from BlueJay. He asked if this was in reference to the dick pic. In my response, which was the third post in the thread, I said that yes it was; after making a joke about his rather obvious question.

The lack of moderation was one of the reasons why IMDB message boards were so revered (Excluding the thin-skinned types). Um...no. the lack of active, sensible moderation was the reason the imdb boards developed an internet wide reputation for being among the most hateful, and juvenile mainstream forums on the internet. Because by the end it really was populated largely by assholes and trolls with nothing better to do but harass, and argue with, other posters. Sensible, hands on moderation is a good thing. IMDB allowed for a multi decade study of online social anarchy and in the end it proved anarchy results in complete disaster.

The person who posted my real name is still on this site. I have no problem with him...but I did have a problem with what he did.
