Well, I’m hopeful for a Frink more similar to the good ol’ days. We ought to be able to let one another know if we have a problem with something another party has said in gentle, civil manner, at least as a first response. Frink has a reputation for gunning it from 0 to 60 and stifles discussion. To be honest, I’ve often refrained from posting in threads, usually posted by the uninitiated, about topics outside of his liking, just to avoid having more BS to put up with.
He’s a fun, endearing gatekeeper, and I like having him around. But he shouldn’t have such free reign to crap all over differing opinions.If I had the mad scientist capabilities he himself possesses, I’d probably set the Frink-o-meter to about 33%.
Same, I love Frink as well but recently he just became a bit more aggressive towards others who disagreed with him on something as stupid as movies.
EDIT: Wrong wording there. Movies are one of my favorite things but it is stupid to get in heated name calling over them.
I have to disagree here. It was not about people not liking the movie, it was about people saying “where are all the attractive women in this movie”, “that fat asian chick” and of course the r-word. If you don’t like the movie, fine. If you don’t like the movie because you think “women don’t belong in Star Wars” or “Disney has an anti-male agenda”, then it’s a problem. And disagreeing with the way some Star Wars fans here talk about women is more than just disagreeing about a stupid movie.
Now, if moderators can’t monitor a spoiler thread, that’s also a problem. I fully understand that Jay and the mods have a life outside of this forum, but saying “here’s a spoiler thread, but remember to play nice, because the mods don’t want to read this” is just asking for trolls and it creates an obstacle to report posts, as noone wants to be the one that ruins the movie for the mods. At least the registration should have been closed one day ahead of the release to keep out the trolls and socks.
