Interested in becoming a MovieChat Moderator?

Naw, I wasn't fishing for a compliment, just stating the truth.

OT:Are you using http://emojicopy.com/? Sometimes they look nice, then the expression doesn't come through when pasted over.

You can carry over your username, however, you can use your initial account on here. Whatever username you had on IMDb and your posts cannot be edited nor will you be able to be notified if someone responds to it.

I agree with you, landofree. Please don't turn what I said around. There's a great difference in being a child and trolling comments. I made a childish comment on another thread, and I'm sure the others knew I was being childish.

You went way overboard in your explanations to me as if I were a child, and it was uneccessary.

If they have a mental ailment and that causes them to troll, they should be banished. If that is the excuse used, then they need to overcome it. In the real world, they should be accommodated. When I am trying to write to people online and they border on being stalkerish, it is a whole different story.

Come on! Everyone knows what trolling is. Trolling is when you make a post specifically to get a negative reaction. There probably should be some rules posted in a prominent place though, just so everyone is clear.

" You do realize that young people comment on imdb and here too, don't you? Being a "child" is a fact, not necessarily a troll."

This reminded of the fact that this site does not even have a terms of use.
It's something I strongly recommend and include an age limit.
Most standard is not allowing children under the age of 13, because the COPPA laws are so restrictive. This is for the board owner's own protection. No kids under 13, at all, with or without parental permission.

Between the ages of 13-18, they should have parental permission. Of course you cannot enforce that but you need it in your TOU anyway. It's CYA boilerplate but you may need to fall back on it one day.

No, I was just poking fun at the reward they gave you. I mean they give you a t-shirt when you are helping moderate and I was thinking to myself "So what could a t-shirt possibly be useful for?" So then I thought, "well instead of giving you a t-shirt, they should give a more intimidating look to the account names to really scare away the trolls."

You think of mods like cops. But behind a computer and giving you a shirt for all your work, it is not really doing much. It's like a cop without a gun and only a bullet proof vest.
