Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

Just posted it without mentioning the site. I'm not overly comfortable talking about this, but I'd rather set the record straight than being called names for speaking the truth. And it's not like we're doing anything inappropriate. Inappropriate would be if we actually sent Chris the original question asked by waannief.

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

I just read what you wrote and I think it's perfectly written. I think it was a good decision to post it. If they still don't get it - their problem.

Actually, you know what? I had a feeling it was. Something about the word "Kitty" in her username. And it sounded like her writing style. Weird. Is she on the warpath or something?

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

Her last post got deleted. I kinda wish I had seen all her name-calling, it's only half the fun this way. tongue What did she say? No doubt something that doesn't matter at all, right?

Hershey thought Deb had her post earlier deleted, saying she tells the admins every little thing doesn't go her way on the boards.

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

When in fact, Mel reported the one where she called me names, and Laura, didn't you report the one from last night?  I love it when her foul-mouthed hooliganism is visible for all the world to see.  Shows her for the true nutball she is.  I only ever reported her one time and that was because she just waltzed in and posted:

Subject line: "He looks like..."
Body: "...an idiot."

I immediately reported her as a troll without a reply.  Otherwise, I just let her make a fool of herself.

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

It means she's constantly telling people higher up than her about trouble other people are causing when it's really none of her business.  Five year olds are basically known for being tattle tales.

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

Gee is IMDB getting annoying.

Some of my pet peeves.

1. Why is it that people think their opinions are fact?
2. That they call people or films they don't like such things as "hack, untalented, crap, sucks" and other adjectives without any kind of statements to back it up.
3. Why do they continue to post negative things about a person/film whatever over and over again and again? Can't they post their opinion once and move on?
4. Make fun of peoples names - such as Shia LeBarf or Justin Timberfake or whatever. Do they think they are clever or something?
5. Instead of having a meaning discussion of a film/actor whatever it turns into childish namecalling either against the topic of the thread or other posters.
6. The rating system still needs vast improvement. As before it seems that the vast majority either vote 1 or 10. Why can't people actually give an honest rating to films/tv instead of voting in extremes?
7. People who makes posts such as "This movie is racist" (I swear I see that on just about every films message board), "This is the worst movie ever made" or the opposite "This is the best film ever made"


Gee I could go on and on.

I think another thing that really bugs me is that people who hate someone continues to post over and over on that persons message board. Can't they post their opinion once & move on? I dislike a few celebrities, such as Paris Hilton but I have never even posted on her IMDB message board because it's a waste of my time. Of course if anyone questions them as to why they continue to post their hate they say something like "This is not a fan board" Which is true, but instead of having civil discussions it turns into a childish tit-for-tat attacks.

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

Yeah, that's one of those things I don't understand about IMDb.  Do these people really have nothing better to do than cause trouble?   I realize it can be fun when you have nothing better to do and you're bored, but there's people who do that every day .

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

Illinois, I could hug you right now. You are so right and I whole-heartedly agree with you. I love your signature on IMDb: "Your opinion is not fact." So true!

What ticks me off is that people post the same shit over and over again and think they're so clever because they're the first person to think of it. No one ever reads older posts but just butts in with a new one. MINE MINE MINE! I need to have MY OWN THREAD!

I don't get it either why people get off on calling actors or celebrities names on these boards. Guess they take some kind of perverse pleasure in seeing the fans coming to this person's defense. Just last night someone basically called Kyle Newman a bungler, based on some rumors they heard. Gee, thanks. Most of these people are probably just bored and enjoy picking a fight. What I've learned is that you don't go to IMDb to have a serious or honest conversation. I mainly go to put the wrongs right that are being spread on most every IMDb board and to stand up for the people or projects I believe in.

Re: All you IMDb jerks out there

Oh yeah thought of another one.

Why do people make a big deal about a films IMDB user rating?

I have never seen a studio use the IMDB rating to promote a film or a dvd.
Since the voting is open to dishonest voting (extreme voting 1 or 10) or other manipulation it's not an honest & true rating at all.

In a way I wish they would abolish the ratings all together.
