View Full Version : Rules that should exist on MovieForums
Heres one of mine - Nobody should be able to make a thread unless they have an avatar.

Nobody should create a thread about rules that should exist on MoFo.
Yoda should allow for a Purge-like period of one day where politics and religion are allowed. We could destroy each other and then log in the next day and be courteous and kind to each other again.

There should be an alternative universe MoFo, where no rules exist and pandemonium rules the day:eek:

Which in itself is a rule, which you're suggesting - AH HA!! :)
Why though?
Because if they can't put the work into fancying up their poster packaging why care about the content inside? :cool:

He's not against rules. He's against creating a thread asking for rules.

I actually like this idea as a serious suggestion - all threads created that day could all be deleted the next day so there's no evidence of who said what (and less hurt feelings).
It could be like that episode of Star Trek where everyone in the very polite and reserved town goes absolutely mad on one specific night, but by morning they all return to their uptight clothes and manners (I think that was the one with "Landru").

Hard cap on the number of threads you can create in a day/week.
If you want to spam the forum, the Shoutbox is the place.

That's a good one. It would let a new thread have a chance to breathe and make people put more thought into what they will or won't make when starting threads.
Also cut back on spam ;) Spam bad.
:laugh:
I think at minimum we'd need an exception for the Movie Questions forum.

People should be required to research threads before posting one that may or may not be already made, lol.

I’ll allow it 🤓
To be clear, I’m coming from a feeling of a sense of ownership from being here a while. Mr. Green has said he can’t do everything and I feel this a bit of self-policing and not mean spirited. If you can’t post something one day, maybe someone else will. If they don’t and you still think it’s important, you will have your chance(s) tomorrow.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude. I came from a place where there way too much politics.

No friend it's not about politics, that actually is disallowed here even by enthusiasts. This is about not aggravating members more than anything else, and sometimes that can unintentionally derail what would be a good relationship.
Some new posters wish to paint the forum like it's their own soapbox, or constantly want to debate when there are 2 viewpoints. Sometimes new posters come on here wanting to wiggle out personal information from the members. There's nothing organic about it, comes across as desperate or needy.
The thread here is just for fun, nothing will result of it in terms of forum rules. Just an opportunity if someone pays attention they can see how they might be annoying rather than compelling. Plus some suggestions are just for laughs.

He didn't mean let politics run rampant on here with the purge thing. He meant for one day, let people get their thoughts and what have you out of their system. The only thing that wouldn't be allowed is threats obviously and stuff of that nature.

Only person who should make rules is Yoda.
But I think any new thread created has to be approved by the wise green one who the force is strong.

No problem, I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to pics and images.When I first signed up here, I couldn't post images, I couldn't find settings, it seemed difficult...It took me awhile to get the hang of it, then everything was easier after awhile. Hang in there you'll get it!

That's fine. :) One thing that always helps is to be specific. Something not working could mean almost anything. But if you say I did X, and Y happened, or I got this error message (ideally copy and pasted), that'll allow me or someone else to help a lot quicker.

usually says invalid fileI seen you said you like High Noon so I made you an avatar from that, no obligation to use it of course. But if you want to try it copy the URL of the image below and enter it on your EDIT AVATAR where it says:
Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website

You can download a picture to your device, computer, table or phone and upload it to the site as well. That's what I do.

I got it to work Thanks. Will Kane it is.

Yeah, downloading and then uploading is usually the way to go. It's impossible to know exactly why it failed without seeing the URL, but my guess is it was a script generating the image so it didn't have a normal URL.

The only rule which should ever be on the site. The HK 100 should be an official Mofo list. :D
Heres a good idea for a rule. Whenever theres a thrilling developement, release, announcemwnt, etc... thats worthy of a new thread, let people voice their reaction without comment on how they should react, or suggest how they should feel, etc...
Some people have real opinions and really care about the subject matter involved. Huge difference from saying you like everything because its cinema. This is the difference in having passion for film, and being a mindless consumer.
