Is there any place to discuss movies? Or does everyone just goes to SYG for that.
I just don't want to go back to the imdb boards
SYG might turn a bit nasty sometimes (you might love it or hate it) but you can always discuss pop culture things there. We also have Random Thoughts for, well, everything. (including pop culture)
accelgors, you don't even use Blogs much at all. Most of your activity is in Random Thoughts. The only significant policy change was standardizing Blogs to the rest of the forum; almost everything else was clarification rather than making anything more strict.
Moderation is necessary to keep a site as large as this functioning properly. Do you enjoy the idea of being attacked by another user? Of seeing homophobic or racist comments? Of having your privacy invaded, or of the site being shut down due to file sharing and file sharing requests?
None of our policies differ significantly from the norm among properly functioning large forums (and I'll note we're still the most active pop music forum on the net). I don't think the scope of moderation is too far-reaching but rather it's almost perfect with the latest update to reestablish control and proper operation of Blogs. When you have such widespread abuse of such a section, it becomes necessary to place it in check - if it can be used to circumvent most rules anyway, what is the point of those rules if that section is not overseen properly?
The whole Staff team deliberated for a great deal of time on the new policies updates, and we took into account everything that we thought was necessary. We didn't just lightly decide last night to do this - a lot of thought was put into this, with the concerns of our members coming first and foremost.
lasjdflkas if you don't GET. you aren't gonna become a mod. you lost that opportunity when you spammed everyone with messages to join that site that you claim is 100x better than ATRL
You sound bitter & upset. My name isn't Maiko sis.
Hopefully yall do better with the racist threads/posts cus chile..
Indeed we want to! That's the reason that one of our only significant changes to warning values was to increase Offensive to a 3-point warning. We don't want to tolerate offensive content here, and we want users who will potentially make those posts to understand our stance.
My blog is private so those rules don't apply, right?
Private blogs are now moderated in the same way as regular blogs and threads; we won't be allowing them to constitute a circumvention of standard ATRL policy.

I personally do find it hilarious how you're always perched on my quote button. Giving me Toucan on a treebranch teas. I don't know what your personal vendetta against me is but I kindly ask you to stop giving me passive aggressive rudeness.
If there's anything you want to discuss / talk out with me, I'll gladly do that via wall or PM!
