Moviechat Community Standards:
(2) No trolling, flaming, spamming or unsolicited advertising
Being insulted here is quite normal. I've fired off a number of complaints about this. Can I ask the moderators if they actually do anything about it?
Lol, this is a free-for-all, just like the Golden age of IMDB. But it's been pretty thoroughly taken over by the deplorables, so the bs just becomes too much sometimes.
shareThe mods *are* active here in so much that I saw them comment on another thread with their mod tags on.
shareYOU SEE OR READ SOMETHING YOU THINK VIOLATES THE RULES...REPORT IT...THE MODS WILL MAKE A DECISION...FAIR WARNING...THEY PREFER A FREE SPEECH,LOW MODERATION APPROACH BUT WILL REVIEW ANY QUESTIONABLE POSTS.
shareIf anyone would know all about the snitch button...it would be Kowalski. She's got two of my post deleted already. The only two times in three years that I got an infraction I was dealing with Kowalski the snitch. I'm the dummy for getting baited though...lesson learned.
shareYOU COULD TRY BEING A BETTER PERSON.
shareOr you could be more of a man and understand that people will always have a difference of opinion but that doesn't mean we can't be civil towards each other as Americans.
shareTOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT...HOWEVER CERTAIN OPINIONS ARE JUST FUCKED AND DESERVE NO CIVILITY...YOU HAVE SOME OF THESE TYPE OF OPINIONS...BE BETTER.
shareHOWEVER CERTAIN OPINIONS ARE JUST FUCKED AND DESERVE NO CIVILITY
Responding to words with hostility, anger, or any other crazed emotional response
THAT NEVER HAPPENS...I AM HEAVILY MEDICATED AND HAVING A GOOD TIME...MY RESPONSES ARE ALL AS CALM AND COOL AS POSSIBLE...PLUS...THE MAJORITY OF POSTERS HERE ARE ASSHOLES...I DON'T MIND ASSHOLES THINKING I AM NUTS.
But you're not civil to other people. Nor are many users here.
shareIf you really go back and check all my replies...I never attack first. Unhinged leftists always verbally attack me on this site and then I am forced to defend myself. All my nastiness has always been a reaction to someone else's actions. I have learned my lesson about getting baited though.
It's easy to become unhinged yourself if you're always getting too close to the cancer. I know I need practice but I need to start reminding myself I'm on the right side so no need to get nasty and vile. I will be working on that because conservatives are capable of acknowledging fault, fixing it, and moving forward.
You've insulted me a number of times. I have never insulted you.
shareI wonder if those were some of your many racist posts. Hmmm...
Signed, million man.
Uh no...they were personal attacks on Kowalski and that's why they got deleted. I always admit when I'm guilty or wrong...unlike you unhinged leftists. Also if any of my posts were racist they would've been deleted.
shareAs opposed to what, liberal idiots and their multiple sock accounts???
shareIt's always cute when the most inflammatory, insulting, lying bunch of halfwit twats complain about people lobbing insults. You literally can NEVER argue without throwing insults, stereotypes, generalizations and lies. Here's the truth, you're accustomed to having censorship and an angry, spoiled brat mob of retarded bullies behind you. Which is how it is in places like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Quora, etc.. Here you're on a level playing field and YOU have proven that when you can't cheat, you can't compete.
shareThey only do something about it if you're certain people.
Here are just but two out of countless examples:
After Alex Jones had that huge monetary judgment levied against him, I said he should just kill himself now. And it got removed. But then just a couple days ago somebody told me that I should kill myself and I reported it and of course, the comment is still there. Or I will post a link to a movie and it will get removed. But then other people will post links to movies and I'll report it and the links are all still there. Moderation is a fucking joke here.
Moderation is actually on the level. They do give us much free speech here with little intervention. Regulars like hownos, Kowalski, and stratego might get VIP treatment I feel but other than that mods here are aces!
shareHow you could read what I just wrote and say that is beyond me. And even some of the people you mentioned will get censored if what they say is against certain other members here.
shareI wasn't saying you said anything wrong. I was just stating my devoted love for them. You do know I'm probably the most reported person on this site. In three years I've only had two posts removed. None of my threads have been taken down even though...as you have even stated...they go way too far over the top. So you could see why I have a positive biased opinion of them.
BTW you could disagree with my thread or a reply and even talk smack to me and I still wouldn't retaliate because I know you're normal and just being rational.
You said:
Moderation is actually on the level.
What you're talking about happens everywhere, not just Movie Chat. One of the reasons why I reregistered here is that I'm trying to document what's going on in various platforms when it comes to comments. What I'm realizing is that people owning and running these platforms thinks that free speech means that they should enable and protect as much hate speech, disinformation and shitposting as possible, as well as the worst types of people. So what they do is play favorites.
That's why your comments about Alex Jones were removed but someone was allowed to tell you to kill yourself. It's free speech if Alex Jones uses his podcast to terrorize people and spread lies. It's free speech if someone tells you to kill yourself. But if you dare say that Alex Jones needs to kill himself, you're "against" free speech, so you're seen as violating some sacred law.
I have seen this type of double standard moderation everywhere now. At Bing News, trolls are allowed to shitpost as much as they want. They're even allowed to call you an idiot, moron, etc. But as soon as you criticize them or even correct their misinformation, your posts get deleted. The situation got so bad over there that people at Bing News asked for a feature to remove their post histories, because they'd criticize a troll, the troll would come back with more shitposting, but the troll's comments would be left up and their posts deleted for TOS violation.
MC is no different. The mods here are operating under the idea that they're gatekeepers of free speech, which means allowing as much shitposting as possible without moderation or even criticism from others.
You were wrong about Alex Jones (as loathsome as the man may be), BUT the person who told *you* to kill yourself was *even more* wrong (seeing as it's unlikely that Alex Jones posts here/reads anyone's messages, but clearly you will see anything nasty posted in relation to yourself).
shareYou internet NAZIs are always trying to take away everybody else's right to free speech.
shareI don't care what you argue, but what is the point of constantly insulting others?
sharePeople insult me, too, but I don't snitch on them, I insult them back. Snitching like an internet Nazi is weak and cowardly.
shareAnd then the forum just degrades into puerile juvenile mudslinging
shareGo to an overly moderated safe space, like Facebook then.
shareThe rules literally state "no flaming". But again, what's the value in just instantly insulting people?
And wanting the mods to enforce the rules isn't the same thing as wanting political viewpoints banned.
You want a safe space to spew Marxist talking points, don't be so shocked when others mock you for it.
shareWhat "marxist talking points" am I trying to spew? When have I suggested people should be unable to disagree with me?
shareHere's a Marxist talking point from you...https://moviechat.org/bd0000082/Politics/6400877e0e1133128f182fba/To-those-of-you-here-who-think-woke-or-LGBT-presence-in-public-life-is-too-much
shareHow is that a marxist talking point?
shareMarxists attack the foundations of western society and Marxists are constantly weaponizing LGBT issues for this purpose.
shareThat's not the definition of Marxism. And I consider myself pro-western. I made that thread because of some concerning opinions some people seem to have regarding LGBT rights here.
And one user confirmed it, suggesting they should all be killed.
I think thinking all gay people should be killed is pretty anti-western. That's literally the social attitude of the Taliban.
Do you realize that the poster you're responding to not a "real" poster in the sense that you think? What he and the other members of the MC clique that dominate these forums do is spend day in and day out baiting people into arguments so they can keep dropping/disseminating the exact same talking points over and over again.
These people are lost souls to the extent that they've become like A.I., where no matter what you say or do, it's an opportunity to make one of the same five cookie cutter responses that they've done for years. Do you really think he's engaging in a discussion with you? He's not. His only response is to scream that everyone is woke or Marxist or whatever. That's part of the game these people play. If he spends the next 20 years on MC, he will post the same thing when people disagree with him: woke, Marxist, BLM supporter, etc. because part of the game is to hook someone who is naive enough to think they're dealing with a real person so they can drop these points.
The point is that you're arguing with a human bot, or a human being who's spent so much time online that he's incapable of making any coherent responses or thinking coherently. He thinks and talks in Alt Right memes, not actual thoughts. If you're even remotely intelligent and care about discussions, you won't waste another minute arguing with a human-turned-A.I.
Do you realize that you literally described the OP of this thread as well as 99% of the lefties on this forum?!
Syntax by the OP:
How?
Where?
When?
What?
Deflect, Deny, Lie, and Loop:
How?
Where?
When?
What?
What did you mention "lefties" for?
I didn't attack Guitar King for being a Righty, just making the point that he is disinfo and that his shtick is dropping Alt Right talking points.
I'm well aware that OP could also be part of the act. Hell, it might even be Guitar King himself playing both sides under a sock account. Usually, when people like OP ignore me and others warning them to not continue engaging with a troll--and they persist--that makes them suspicious.
By the way, there's no such thing as "leftist" and "rightist" politics. This is one of the biggest divide and conquer strategies of the 20th century--and cons.
I'm not a sock account. I am a glutton for punishment, if you like.
shareStop with your Mahatma Gandhi virtue signaling and your crocodile tears. You're not fooling anyone.
shareWhat am I trying to fool people about, exactly?
shareYour holier that thou posturing. You're trying to come off as all sweet and lovely, acting like you take the high ground, but you leftists are the nastiest people there are. It's an act.
shareWhat do I do that is "nasty", exactly?
shareAll the leftists would get banned because they have no argument other than insults. 🤣🤣🤣

I never insult people. Most abuse I've seen here have been from right-wingers, anecdotal I know.
shareBut is it in response from being names called by a lefty? I tend to scroll over flame battles.

No, not always. I've also been repeatedly insulted by right-wingers on here, and I do not insult anyone.
shareQuite right Skavau.
I echo your stance, and call to the mods.
The Standards are just corporate woke boilerplate. That's what Google expects, who funds MoronChat.
