I'm leaving!

MoFo's a one of a kind place, full of intelligent and diversified people who come together to form a community of movie buffs. Just look at IMDB boards, there's nothing but angry people there slamming on each other, this place is special.



I didn't see why this came about but we need all our community to stick together , that's why this is such a great place, so hope you change your mind



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
The post deletion was only the final trigger. I kinda want to take a break from many other reason, too. I'm genuinely moved by the feedback, though.

Be well, Minio!

It's seriously not that big of a deal. We all know what is and isn't appropriate to post here.

It's not just Mr Minio, others do it as well. In fact, I've even done it in the past. Lately it's a bit overboard. All I'm saying is please dial it back a bit.

It's not something personal, just site policy.

That's good. A break means you have to come back



Well, as you go out to the big bad world to find your special purpose, remember you're always welcomed here. Oh, and some words of wisdom:

This is bugging me just a bit, so I would like to point something out. This situation makes it sound like this is all over that one post, but it is not. Here very recently, I've hit a couple of your inappropriate posts. I'm not alone. I'll have to assume that we're hitting them before they're seen. I just don't want the members getting the wrong impression. That this is all over that one post. It most definitely is not.



You havent yet.. but it doesnt mean it wont happen at some point

Cricket and Gunslinger havent pissed me off yet either...



As a newcomer, what exactly IS and ISN'T allowed here?
Can you post 4-letter words (profanity)? Not that I'm inclined to since I never speak that way in life, but just curious.

See, I got banned from all of eBay's discussion boards & help centers (permanent-life-long-irreversible ban) for talking about & condemning the Islamic Terrorism of ISIS / ISIL and the people who join the group in hopes of becoming a mass murderers.

Note: this happened to be on a thread about the topic that I, myself, had created over two years ago, and which had over two years worth of discussions with a vast amount of members on it - so it wasn't like the subject-matter itself was banned.

Yes, it's true. eBay doesn't want anyone who condemns terrorism using their boards because if you cite facts or simply acknowledge the sources of global terrorism they consider it politically incorrect - so they ban you for life. They don't want anyone potentially hurting the feelings of people who are slaughtering countless thousands - the feelings of psychotic mass-murderers are considered important, extremely fragile and deserving of the highest respect by the eBay moderators (unlike the feelings of their own site's members who pay their wages & fund the whole thing).
eBay still lets you buy & sell on the site because they want your money, but they will not tolerate any speech that condemns evil, promotes life or stands up for the victimized (unless said victims belong to select PC-protected groups) because they say such talk is "hate speech."

So... is anything I just said banned here? (because it is on eBay).

General summary: things should be PG-13.

Nope; they'll be automatically censored, as well.

No. We try to give political speech a wider berth (even the really questionable stuff is more likely to result in deletion and warning, rather than banning).



How the hell did you end up talking about IS on Ebay?

And yeah that is banned here, pretty sure this site is sponsored by IS.
At one time they had about a hundred different boards to discuss just about anything you could imagine. They downsized quite a bit since then.

I was commenting on a board called the "Soapbox." The name is self-explanatory (based on the old idea of standing on a soapbox and publicly proclaiming your opinions - often political ones or stances on controversial issues).
In short you could post about whatever you wanted there, be it a momentary fleeting thought on a recent news headline, commenting on Justin Bieber's hair, or a long-winded oratory about the issues of the day.

The board still exists and is full of everything from threads about kittens to ones about the Presidential election. It's full of politics. But apparently the moderators don't want any out & out condemnations of Islamic Terrorism.



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
I don't think condemning terrorism/murderers is something you are going to be banned for here. Quite contrary, you may get repped. Haha. Anyone who kills innocent people is a sick f*ck and should be condemned.

Now, the site is not rigorous when it comes to stating your opinion or believes. To be honest, I don't know what Yoda would do if, say, a Nazi saying Jews have to be killed registered here and spewed his beliefs in threads about it, but I'm pretty sure if you're not into any extremes, you are free to post here. If you go overboard, you will get warned. Don't worry, nobody gets instantly banned from MoFo. Maybe except for spammers and bots.

Anything that has to do with sex, or is extremely graphic is not welcome here. Mainly the visual stuff (photos and videos with nudity, for one, but I wouldn't risk now and post some extremely gory stuff neither), but also the text saying some nasty stuff. Oh, and bad words are alright as long as you don't overuse them (they're being censored anyway), but remember, never offend anyone using them.

I believe the reason for most of these is that MoFo is a free-to-visit site and potentially a little kid can visit it. Then, he enters a random thread and reads about Captain Spaulding frollicking with Sexy Celebrity. Potentially, a little kid can as well visit a porn site, but yeah, that's some explanation.

Short version: Don't be afraid to post. If me, Spaulding and Sexy hasn't been banned yet, it only means it's not that easy to get banned.

What you say about a free site and kids visiting is an excellent point!

That's what I didn't get about eBay - they have all the non-profanity rules and such in place (which is fine), BUT... it's an entirely adult site - you have to be a member to use it, you have to be over 18, and you have to have a credit card on file with them confirming your age & identity. They used to have no problem with discussing controversial issues as long as rules were obeyed - they still seem to have no problem with controversial issues... as long as those issues are expressed in an extremely one-sided way.

With all their security in place, they start this politically correct stuff - where if you don't tow the Obama doctrine line (like you'll actually say the words "Radical Islam" when discussing radical Islamic Terrorism while he's decided his administration won't) they ban you for engaging in "hate speech" - the same exact thing Presidential candidates say on a daily basis and which is said on newscasts all day long. The eBay moderators arbitrarily classify something as "hate speech" on the basis that Obama (and he alone) won't say it.

If you say Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown execution style while the unarmed teen was on his knees saying with his hands up saying, "Don't shoot!" the eBay moderators are fine with that discussion. But if you say, "Well, a grand jury seemed to find all the evidence showed that Brown attacked Wilson, tried to get his gun and charged him." then the eBay moderators say you're engaging in "hate speech" and you need to be banned, permanently (they don't want THOSE kinds of hate-filled attitudes getting spread around on their "discussion" boards.)

I welcome the children.




I like your post, Minio.

I've never liked eBay. I've always refused to shop there. Then one day I heard this story about a man with an X box box, and it was for sale for a few hundred dollars. Someone bought it, thinking that was just a typo, I'd assume. Nope, he got the box to the game, and it only cost him a few hundred dollars. Man I hate eBay
