I've been coming to KMC for a couple of months now, and have been noticing a trend.

It seems that more and more frequently we are having people join and post in threads that are doing so for no other reason than to cause disention or frustration of other members for their own amusement.

There used to be a member here called Philosophicus (who I assume that I can talk about for he has been banned for life) who often did this very thing. However, when found out by any mod he was quickly disciplined.

Now we have members who routinely call other members idiots. We have trolls who eventually get under even the most relaxed members' skins and we have other members who have confused debate and discussion with personal attack and open hostility.

I love a good argument just as much as the next guy, but I am getting sick of hostile posts that are written for nothing more than to incite an equally hostile reaction.

Any comments?

GDF is stiff doing much better than OTF

And I agree, but i hope it will get back to nice and peaceful normal soon.

The mods are missing in action, Raz has been gone who knows how long, and the others are too. It's getting lax because of this.

A big part of the problem (which I don't have a huge problem with it or anything like that) is that many of the threads have similar themes.

Many of them, and I'm sure Clovie would agree, are about the USA/Bush/Liberals - you name it. No problem with that, but it also limits the variety in thread topics. These topics are more sensitive to people than others, and since there is an abundance of them, it seems a bit more overwhelmed with hostility and name-calling, which should not be allowed anyways (direct name-calling, that is!).

Bottom line, more variety in thread topics. No one can do that except the members.

the way it is, the way it was, and the way it always shall be.
what annoys me is when people simply post in threads with topics
they dont like, and since they have no descent argument to present,
and no ideas to put forth (you know....a debate....the whole frikin point of this) they decide to instead throw the topic off or, like you said, piss everyone off in an attempt to close the thread.

i find this tactic to be so immature it makes bill oreilly's technique of debate seem sound. i think it would be like (in a TV debate scenario) if someone just jumped on camera during a political debate and started yelling "YOU SUCK!!!! YOU'RE A JACKASS!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA" or "SO...how about them yankees, huh? looking good this season!.......how about this weather?.....SAVE THE WHALES!!!!!".

by using this method of promoting a total lack of debate, they not only annoy their opponents (not that they legitimately have an opponent) but they make everyone on the side they claim to represent look like idiots, which i'm positive is not welcome...im sure i wouldnt want someone like that speaking for me anyway.

my 2 cents

Hands PVS his 1 cent change....just jokin' man

I have KMC right where I want it.

*Evil Laugh*

I will prevail.

By the way, I'm crashing the KillerMovies Community Forums.

Cheers Charlie!

I like the GDF it takes me away from the immaturity of the OTF.. but recently it has been becoming pretty hostile, well in some of the threads I have been viewing at least

Hmm I agree (well only if PVS didn't mean me by that ) ... The GDF is getting kind of low...but I think it is because the Threads are not as interesting anymore.....or like botankus said...they are the same threads over and over again...
As for Philosophicus I liked his style it wasn't that bad....and the Philosophy forum was still a lot better

Not the way it was at all! And you have had your share in it as well.

I'll admit that I'm guilty of personal attacks or doing stuff just to get another member excited but usually I'm just joking. I'm not a very serious person, but sometimes people idiocy annoys me and I let them know....not that its my place to, but sometimes I feel like it should be done. Anyway if my name pops into your mind when you think of stuff like this I apologize but its just how I am from time to time, but I think for the most part I'm pretty laid back.

Always respect your opponent in a debate. If your opponent does not deserve respect, it will become obvious to the audience. But if you, as speaker, disrespect your opponent, then it will be you who loses the respect of the audience, even if it is your opponent who deserved the disrespect.

I' ve lost my respect for a lot of members.

Storm's right, it used to be a lot different, a lot better than that.

KD with a little luck it will change when Raz gets back

i attempt to derail threads because i dont like the topic?
post a link to where i use this tactic or keep your accusations to yourself please.

When I spoke of having your share it it as well I was referring to hositle posts.

It should.It is just a fab that will be hopfully over soon.JM

oh ok. you quoted my post which refers to the tactic by the unsilent minority
to stop all conversation as a means of 'winning'. thus the misunderstanding.

It is understandble that sometimes people lose their patience and snap at other members for their opinion. And we constanly ask the members to please keep the topic going and not engage in pointless fights. After all this is only a message board. We keep asking you folks to please avoid getting into fights with trolls. We also ask that you guys report any troublemakers. Any available global mod will handle the situation. All we ask is that you keep insults or bashing out of the forums.

GDF seems fine to me.

I blame it on several factors.

#1: You liberals. You fricking liberals are the reason EVERYTHING happens. I bet you all invented cancer..

#2: I partialy blame myself. For not being hard-ass enough on you jerks lol..

Since us mods have a life outside of this forum (we do this for free, on our spare time) it is essential that you report whatever abuse you see so we can find it easily and efficiently and do what is necessary.

Also, posts like the above post is what's causing problems a lot of the time. Someone will make a generalized and blatantly incorrect statement just for the pathetic reason of getting attention on a message board. If everyone could A) report comments such as the one above, and B) Ignore them and recognize them as nothing worth responding too, then much of the troubles the OP is speaking of will fix themselves.

Big Evil, this thread is not about liberal bashing, no matter how much you want it to be, so keep those comments to yourself.

Um...where did you get THAT from?

And what relevance does that have anyway?

and yet another decent thread dies because of member bashing.
discussion is killed, troll is left unchecked.

Troll was not left unchecked.

oh thank god!!!!!!

Nicely done.

no doubt

sad

Sock would be fine, then his ban would be changed to permanent.

Troll didn't have to be checked at all, if eveyone just treated me NICE i'd be alot less b-itchy to everyone. Why do you think I stopped bashing? Cause he asked me NICELY to stop..

A little love go's a long way.. Why do you think Jackie is my wittle snuggle-bunny? ^.^

If it has to do with madcow I'm a vegetarian anyway..

All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent.Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything
inside the thread unless it's absolutely necessary. And three...,be nice.

''whats the matter''?

i cant believe that i've just read 3 pages of posts all of which amount to "it isn't me thats f*cking up the discussion with insults...it must be someone else"

i dont believe that if i had to give a reason, it would change things on the state of the GDF.

Brings to mind that thread-rot issue

Only that here it degenerates into KMC's mud slinging contest

Now we can get back to topic indeed....

I dunno this forum is ok I've been on better ones but this one is awesome too...I think a big part of it is the younger members, they get pretty bad sometimes but I'm not trying to say its just them. Anyway I forgot my point....

Im not hostile... most of the time, well i only say things like "how ****ing retarted are you?" but thats only cause I was talking to the biggest hypocrite on earth.

I will take 99.9% of the blame for the state of the GDF. The other 0.1% no doubt falls on Kharma.

if u wanna to reduce the number of "offensive arguments" u have to warn Big Evil, in like EVERY post he makes, he makes fun of liberals, he even opened a thread, seriously the guy just cant get on topic, and wait u disagree with him and he accused u of attacking him and raping him

Raping Him?...Guess I missed that...

OMMMMM OMMMMMM OMMMMM.....Workis great for anger.

Everyone treat YOU nice? Goddamn, Big Evil! I have absolutely had it with you, frankly. Never before has a KMC user pissed me off as you have. Why don't you stop letting your crippling paranoia and fits self-alienation stop run your seemingly miserable existence, get off of your anti-liberal high horse, this being a movie forum, and try to ENJOY YOURSELF! The whole stalker gimmick, as complimentary to your socially deviated persona as it may be, doesn't set well with others. The amount of sheer audacity that you put out everytime your fingers have stroked this keyboard never ceases to amaze me.

You're a cancer of this board, and as of late, I think YOU sir are the great Satan of the GDF, lending to the general decline. Knowing you, though, you'll take it as a compliment. Grow up, grow out of your paranoia, and enjoy life. I'll leave you with a line my girlfriend once said to me when she was on the brink of leaving.

"Can you just not be yourself for once..?"

..and to think YOU called me insensitive.

Preach on, Cory!

BTW, why are you letting PVS post under your user name?

Testify brother Cinemaddiction! Testify!

You're kidding! Jim Kelly, the guy I pictured, was "Williams" in "Enter the Dragon", and he said "Man, you're straight out of a comic book" to Mr. Han in his office, right before he took him on. I figured that's where you got it from.
