Snoops - is this supposed to be a mod only thread? Neat idea for a sub forum! Who came up with it?

Could we make suggestions in this thread/somewhere? I think it would pretty neat if the thread starter had a box similar to the director/star box where they could put a link to the movie's IMDB page. Also - perhaps there could be a filter to only see one type of movie? Like adventure or comedy or drama instead of all of the movies mixed together. That would be pretty neat.

Not a vote spam report, but the alt text on the rating buttons still refer to thread quality rather movie ratings, might wanna update that when you get round to it. Also, been looking forward to this forum for a long time, long live it

I'm noticing a disproportionate number of people voting movies one. Think about it people, would you really rate the movie just one * out of 5? If so, I think you owe at least a post explaining why you didn't like it. I have a feeling people look at the rating, and then if they don't think the movie deserves that good a rating, they just give it a one to pull it down.

Or maybe other people have already explained how they would also feel about the movie feelings and they really think the film needs a five or a one, smart guy.

quote:Daedra came out of the closet to say: You might think that, but it doesn't appear to be the case in certain movies. For example in 'Back to the Future', you see some guy named 'tyler' voted it a 1 without any explanation (in fact, no one in the thread dissed the movie). 1/5 is a powerfully bad rating.

I didn't know where else to post this, so sorry if it's completely out of place: Why aren't there any user names in the "Last Post" column? Is it supposed to be like this, or does it have to do with the forum tweaking that Radium is doing? It's not a big deal really, I'm just used to using that column to see if any new replies have been made to threads I'm interested in - it's much easier to remember a name than the number of replies.

I can't think of a movie that I hated to such a degree that I need to rate it a one. OTOH, I can only think of one or two movies that I could give a five too as well. And that's the way it should be.

Can something be done about 2 and 3 line reviews popping up, e.g. all the Star Wars reviews? If people can't be bothered to write an actual review, they shouldn't post one. I imagine those threads will be cluttered with flames for the first few posts because the thread poster is lazy.

In the Battlefield Earth thread, a few people voted 5.5, including FYAD regular BukkakeParty. Call me crazy, but this seems like one of those HILARIOUS FYAD pranks, seeing as nearly every other vote is 2 or below.

I am reasonably certain that HARLOT! is vote-spamming. Whoever it is has voted Troy and Black Christmas a .5 with no explanation. edit: apparently the troy vote was changed

HARLOT! also voted "Duck Soup" a 0.5. If that isn't stupid, I don't know what is.

An extreme approach:
Cons: May put the vast majority of sensible voters, who don't have time to write up reviews, off voting. It does annoy me that the vast majority of low-voters don't bother expressing an opinion. I'd much rather read just one well-written negative review than see a hundred people all voting "1" without saying why. Retroblique fucked around with this message at 07:07 on May 8, 2004 |

rndm put in 5.5s for both Van Helsing and Matrix Revolutions, which seems a little fishy

he didn't post his opinion in either, and although it is possible that he believes those to be the best movies ever made, ever, i can't imagine why, and an explaination would help me to imagine this no, it seems more likely that he didn't like the 3s those movies had and maxed out the voting scale, which is called "vote spamming" is it not?

I'd like to know why the hell ransom18 dragged down the entire movie of this review by voting it a 0.5: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1071873 ...without posting why. Especially considering it's an extremely rare film, with less than a thousand copies in circulation.

Well, one of your cons was that people might not "get it". He might not have "gotten it" or believed there was anything to get.

quote:Shady Lane came out of the closet to say: If they really thought a movie was deserving of a .5, they can vote it as such, even if it's a movie like 2001 or something that everyone likes. However, if this a trend that starts to develop, that's when they can be banned. But I really have to urge you people, don't vote on a scale. If you thought a movie was average, and it's got 5 stars, DO NOT vote it a 1 just to bring down the rating. Please, that's not how this forum works. EDIT: Actually, you know what? If I see someone voting a movie a .5 or 5.5 against the grain, so to speak, I may talk to them and give them a chance to explain why they thought the movie was so good or awful. If they can't, then consequences will follow. This won't be happening to everyone, just whoever catches my eye. So just watch out.

Not to sass, but could you clarify what exactly this thread is supposed to be for? Of the 37 posts in it, it doesn't seem like there are any acceptable "spam reports," just people whining about other posters with differing opinions. (I don't see them that way, but that's been the response.) So what do you mean by "vote spamming," since any odd voting is merely supposed to be accepted as a contrary opinion? TheWalrus's post above mine is a good idea, I think, but I'm still not sure what this thread is for.

Is it ok to post a few images in a review like I did in my Shredder review? I wasn't sure where to ask this, if there is a problem with it I'll edit the review and delete pics.
