Imho, it is unacceptable to tell people not to watch a movie, especially for a moderator of a movie discussion board.

It is one thing to write a scathing review, to give your honest opinion about how terrible you believe a movie is, and allow them to decide whether they wish to see it dependant on their previous experience with your taste in movies - - it is another thing altogether to instruct people not to see the movie at all and never have a chance to form their own opinion.

I have reported this transgression to the site owner Eagle, and have every expectation that we will not see this egregious behavior repeated.

Bradley,

I thought your complaint over, and I can't agree with it's conclusions.

First and foremost, our moderators are members first, moderators second. I want all of them posting and enjoying the forum as they would without the responsibility, it's why I'm taking on the role I am.

Regarding the thread itself, I don't think anyone took it as instruction (I read the headline as tounge-in-cheek, not a literal mandate). In fact, if you look through the thread, many users expressed their desire to see the film anyways. I think we're smart enough to take the thread for what it was, an opinion, and read it as such.

Now, if all members went about making a thread for their opinions on a specific film, that would be an issue. We have a forum for that. In this instance, a member was able to see an anticipated film before it's domestic release, which in some instances can make a thread sharing the resulting feelings useful. We've done it in the past, and given the slower nature of the Cinemania forum right now, I struggle to find any issues with it.

I realize this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I hope the feedback and explanation helps. If you have any additional concerns, please don't hesitate to drop me another line.

Karl

Never listen to Germans. Hasn't Elie Wiesel taught us anything?

I think Eagle's phony response is worse than Bradley's current episode of daftness.

Bradley clear owns stock in News Corp and is losing money from Rupert's hacking scandal and, more importantly, Dr. Lecter's advice to skip This Means War.
