Where's the movie?

Christian Taylor3 said:You totally missed the second part of that, the whole "stirring the pot" and provocation bit. Ranting and criticizing the way this PDF movie is being run—well, looking at the neighboring thread, you guys deleted a post of his out of pure spite (and we all agree there was zero actual reason for it), which triggered a reaction from that user and got him permanently banned from the PDF movie. That’s your version of moderation: banning one user and then banning another on the very same day. They complained about those sneaky deletions—basically, mods baiting people—and labeled it "ad hominem, iranian style." Are those really valid reasons to kick someone off the PDF movie? Honestly, you should be embarrassed.

I also remember your little vendettas against Dr. Mabuse; he spent years hanging around other forums before getting booted after calling a mod a "stinker." No, that isn't objective or impartial moderation; it’s just ego. You don't need to explain the reasons for the bias against Henry Campbell5 to me—explain them to him. This attempt at an excuse is pathetic; go ahead and provide some actual, concrete reasons for this favoritism. You can't, because we both know they don't exist.

That isn't constructive participation in the activity of a PDF.

Day in and day out, you guys are proving how non-constructive your own involvement in this PDF is (especially regarding management; just look at the adjacent topic for proof). And who even brought up clans on the Movie section? We could talk about them too. From where I'm sitting, I see users who aren't even on speaking terms, yet they all share one commonality: you guys "really screwed up, and you should seriously be ashamed", and that's twice in just a few months. Going back to the clans, there’s really only one clique running the Movie section, a group that is systematically destroying it, turning it into a private club, and pushing out anyone they don't like. If you just recall Henry Campbell5's old critique about the "cult-like takeover" of the Movie section, the real reasons for this bias will become crystal clear—including things like pinning an American movie in the sticky PDF. We could dive into that too, without leaking any private info or names, obviously.

And to answer Patrick Martin: this isn't some public town square. Reddit is essentially someone's "private bathroom," and the whole problem is that this clique in the Movie section thinks they own the place. They don't. Reddit belongs to Anderlon, but even looking at the previous administration, it shows that the users are the ones who always come out on top. The situation in the Movie section has spiraled completely out of control, and problems are just piling up. Nobody is going to keep supporting this—it's high time the PDF movie gets a brand new crew of moderators.

If we're looking at the ownership structure, yeah, it's a "private playground."
But there are clearly defined rules for how people communicate here. I was screaming from the rooftops about how it’s a massive mistake to start picking fights with the mods in a chat topic. That should have been shut down immediately by the moderation team instead of letting the whole thing catch fire, and now we're all stuck dealing with the mess they left behind.
That’s what I’m holding them accountable for.
But honestly, it’s also not right for certain users to take advantage of that inertia and then act all surprised when they finally get hit with a hammer.

Some things eventually catch up to you. 😁

Henry Campbell5 said:It doesn't prove me wrong. We're talking about deserved punishments. I was complaining about the ones that weren't.

And I used the quote button for that second part.

Can we all just take a breather for a second, guys?
All this bickering isn't getting you anything besides a red card, which I'm guessing is the last thing any of you need.

Look, nobody is asking you to just roll over and take it if you feel like you're being treated unfairly. But if you honestly think playing the provocateur and messing with people is going to help? You're dead wrong. Your recent posts on Reddit—honestly, most of your recent stuff—are nothing but pure trolling and baiting. Sure, you have those classic posts that made you a "legendary" veteran here, but then you turn around and claim you’ll keep acting out until everyone gives you exactly what you want? Give me a break. What did you expect? A gift card to Best Buy?
If you had just stepped up to the plate and slowed down while posting on Reddit—unless that bias was actually intentional—you never would have gotten partial credit.
We can always talk about the split—or getting rid of it entirely. Look, we’re all people here, so there's no need to start clawing at each other's throats. But if you're still stuck on that "it's either me or briskhound2" ultimatum you keep threatening, then you probably realize how pointless this conversation actually is.

Hey, what's up?

Look, it’s obvious not everyone thinks the mods are the sole reason things are messy on the Movie sub. Sure, mistakes happen—we try to keep them to a minimum, obviously—but that's just life. And let’s be real, every side is going to see those mistakes differently. Sometimes you guys are right, but sometimes we are too, even if you don't see it that way. Also, please stop constantly insisting that the mods are failing at the Movie section, and Christian Taylor3, I'm looking specifically at you. It's hard to say we're doing a bad job when the Movie thread is one of the chillest spots on Reddit. I've been modding the Movie section for a couple of months now, and I've only dealt with a handful of reports. Since I also handle the TV section over in Springfield, anything under ten reports a day is... well, you know what I mean. 😁 Jumping on every single deleted post? Honestly, half the time that behavior deserves a harsher penalty than the actual deletion itself. Who actually benefits from waging a personal vendetta against the mods? Not anyone.

Yeah, Reddit is basically just a private club. It’s owned by Anderlon, who hand-picked the mods over at the movie section. Unless Anderlon or the admins decide otherwise, that lineup isn't changing. If they ever feel like the mods aren't cutting it, they'll swap them out. Until then, whether you like them or not, you're stuck with them.

Hey there.
