<3 lovingly though

signed

Signed. You're right, it doesn't hurt but I'm not holding my breath. I have a feeling there are a lot of reasons they're pulling the plug. More reasons than they'll tell the public.

They don't want to pay people to run the thing.

Oh well, at least those bullies over at No Country for Old Men will no longer be confusing larks with me. Larks is fine, they are trolling her.

would it be weird if i thought Larks was sign_in_1234,
and that she was a was:S

It would be really weird if you thought that. To pretend to be him, or anyone like him, would suck from my soul so much I'd have nothing left with which to be Whatlarks.

idk, i think it would have been the most amazing case of counter personality antagonism, especially with your direct contacts with sign,

but it is just a conspiracy theory,
:P i just wanna know who sign is an alt of, i don't think he(maybe she) is a totally original personality, i think it is a calculated response to the inherent bias of the average diehard rectify fan,
His(her) posts are genius, and it can;t be me, cuz i don't have the motive to waste that much time on editing and grammar, especially when i don't give my own posts the same respect

maybe you are sign just when the alternate personality takes over!

reply

Dude! Maybe Sign was your alt and when you went back on your meds he went *poof.* Because, like, you're here and he's not. It totally adds up.

[edited...] Or like, subtracts.

And that's another thing I don't understand. You just shot out a couple of f bombs. They're not censored from what I'm reading. Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. Just like the word sh#t, sometimes it's censored, other times not. I'm not a member as long as most people, but I can remember a time that IMDb actually appeared to have moderators. And not just with words, also with discussions. If the discussion was getting heated and hateful names were being thrown around among posters, the whole thread soon got wiped.


Btw: I'm not thin skinned. I'm not saying I hate the little baddie words. I just never understood why sometimes they're there. And other times *beep*.

reply

Those words are always censored at the time you hit reply, mickeymyhorse. Some people just know a way to subvert it, that's why you see an inconsistency. Not that this matters anymore.

I guess not. The post was deleted by an admin.

Interesting. I've typed cuss words before - singles, not multiples for exaggerated effect like in that post - and nothing happened. It's also possible that someone reported it, although there's no red-letter warning on my end. Not that that would matter anymore...

reply

Sometimes they just delete without giving the warning. I've occasionally been very surprised to find posts of mine deleted by admin, having had no idea.

It definitely means someone reported it. That's still how that works, for a little while longer!  Stupid bloody thing to report if you ask me, but well, they didn't.

reply

lol, what did i miss, were you cussing me out in this post?
who the hell flags swearing,
they wouldn't have to have such heavy moderating if the rules were less strict,
i mean in this board we can talk about the graphic rape that happened to Daniel,
i think anyone would rather their child read the F-word, then read about rape,

:( i hope i didn't piss you off or anything

reply

You didn't piss me off, I was showing that cuss words can be made on IMDb without the *beep.* There is a workaround. So I gave multiple examples for fun. But some small change reported it.

For example, fuck or shit is not a problem.

neither is cracker or honky even without manipulation #IMDBBOARDSORACIST
i used to know how to make the swears show, you could just quote link the vowel of the word,

in the end it is all just pointless because these words will be blasted into oblivion, in 12 days

i was enjoying watching the hurricane of trumpista rage on the homeland boards,

and urinating on anything catholic i could over at the young pope,

imdb forums, the best show to ever get cancelled, and far too soon

i just don't get why someone would ever bother to flagging posts 12 days before
a metaphorical end of the world,

it would be like calling the cops to report someone smoking cannabis in their backyard on July 4th, or canada day 12 days before the end of the world, or a streaker, or someone listening to music to loud,
Why care besides being malicious

Why care besides being malicious

Exactly. As I said, small change.

We shouldn't go getting our hopes up but of course I signed. Can't hurt, might help, right?

There's another as well, which I also signed: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/petition-to-keep-the-imdb-messageboards-going#

"Please eat the foot."

reply

Signed, but there maybe a different solution, see:

reply

I have almost no doubt that that is a phishing expedition. Other boards are already up. Why shouldn't that one be too?

Pretty much only if whoever's collecting the email addresses has no intention of following through, IMO.

Here's a post with a pretty comprehensive list of alternate forums:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/board/nest/265819482?d=265819989#265819989

I personally would recommend these two:
http://imdb2.freeforums.net/
http://thegotboard.com/

Both are adding individual boards as requested and/or needed and plan to continue doing so.

IMDB boards, are by nature now nihilistic, and when a space opens up, its like a power vacuum only digital
