What happened to Mod1, Mod2 and Mod3?
I've been here since 2021 and I have never seen trace of any of them.
I did hear Mod3 was a banhappy dick and we're lucky he's gone.
Okay, so who were these Mods and why did they leave?

Didn't know 2 at all. 1 & 3 were very nice people with different ideas about how to moderate this site. AFAIK they all left of their own accord. We also had a Mod6 once, who was great but she decided to return to civilian life.
shareOverzealous mods can kill a site. MovieChat had a rep in the past for hairtrigger bans. I'm glad that's changed. You and Mod4 do a great job.
shareYeah I’ve been on sites like that where even asking a mod a question or providing feedback can result in a ban.
shareWhat do you think of the reddit system?
- Allow votes/likes for each post
- Posts below a given vote threshold are hidden from view by default
Sorry for jumping in...you asked Onan.
But if you allow votes/likes they'll get manipulated by sock troops and Russian trolls.
As it happens at Reddit.
Yeah, Tara makes a goodpoint. It would be manipulated.
I hate any automated reporting system. It reminds me of IMDb where any post, no matter how benign, would be automatically deleted if enough socks reported it.
Please assume for the purpose of this exercise that the implementation doesn't suck and it can be secured from such manipulation. (It can.) Do you have a view of that kind of feedback mechanism in the context of this site?
shareI like the system now where we can communicate directly with the Mods. I see no benefit. If a majority don't like a post, oh well, I prefer free speech and the right of unpopular opinions to be heard. Less moderation is better. If there's something over the line, a responsible Mod can delete it. That's why we have Mods. I don't trust the majotity to always do what's right.
sharemod 3 was terrible, and played favorites to people that shared her sensibilities rather than be objective. That's the only mod here I have ever had issue with.
shareThat's Classified.
share3 was a female and yes she has been gone for nearly 4 years.
I liked her though, we got along well.
We have 4 and 5 now, 5 is way more active but neither is a trouble starter. The Moderation here has been reasonable and professional for many years, the Mods seem to value free speech and put up with a lot of nonsense for no pay.
Okay, sorry, there were rumors of a sex change. 🤣
But I agree with you. Mods 4 & 5 are reasonable and professional.
More important than what happened to Mod's 1-3.........
WHERE'S JIM??
I think Jim is a myth. I doubt he ever existed.
shareYah, it's doubtful. ☺
Jim still has only 136 posts, just checked.
And he has a red username.
This colour isn't available here for flooding as with Filmboards. 🍎
Who's red on fb? I forget.
Really, something mysterious about this place. Somebody's making money off the ads.
Red on Filmboards (selection):
- Monicah (only if she asks enough dumb questions with various accounts)
- Miss Margo (my special friend)
- Twizlee (Mod)
- CrystalRaindrops (constantly changing username, depending on season)
- Cheeky (needs help with her constantly barking dog "Sir Henry")
And I need another café au lait...or is it olé? ☺ ☀️
P.S.
Ads cause the chimney to smoke.
Running a website is not for free.
Not sure but did you know there was a Mod9 who died? It was shocking and tragic, apparently Mod7 ate 9.
