How do you see the future of the site?

1. More social features. Groups, re-posts, personal albums, group chats etc.

2. More content. Images, posters, reviews, news (like imdb with more freedom).

In my honest opinion, it really depends on the type of people are you trying to attract - and retain.

You're never going to please everybody, but if you're thinking about expanding the social aspects of the site, you really need to think about taking on more impartial Mods to deal with the drama it generates.

Personally, I believe it could be an awesome site dedicated to media (film and TV), without the bickering and squabblin' that goes on regarding the rest.

@DemandingFemale I love your ideas.

Although I don't participate in news (politics, religion, etc.) I know it is actually a draw. Having a section completely separate from the rest of the site (but on this site) might work if there were strict rules around it (eg, no bringing any news of any kind into the rest of the site).

I did have an idea that includes NOT moderating the news and allowing all the news and politics goers to do as they please.

I see nothing wrong with that. It won't affect anyone on the rest of the site, if that is firmly stipulated and then we (Dr Evil and staff) won't need moderators who are subjected to harassment.

@ I said the same thing regarding the moderating of the news section on another thread a few weeks back. If people want to post news that is likely to generate mixed feelings, arguments and name calling - then, that is the price you pay.

Maybe a disclaimer page before you're able to enter the section would work "Enter at your own risk" kinda job. Religion and Politics would be better placed restricted to the news section.

Also, removing the news element from the side bar entirely would be very beneficial!

@DemandingFemale I agree 110%> let them sort it out, or not.

The stipulation/rule is that taking it into the forum is an infraction of the TOS/TOU.

I feel too many want it, but there's no logical or fair way of actually moderating it.

@ There is. Giving Mods the power to redirect/close threads, deleted entire forums posts, getting them to send a quick PM that says "keep it out the forum", and then being able to ban them for further disruption. It doesn't matter what side of the fence you're on or which religion you follow. No politics or religion - period.

1 pinned thread in the forum for current sites TOS, with maybe some useful 'how to' links, etc.

I get the impression that there have been some previous mods whom have taken liberties with their power, but it seems an awful lot of thankless work to have to play the middleman.

@DemandingFemale There's already an option to do that. If people wouldn't click on the news they wouldn't be subjected to the comments, but they did click it, and they know what they are doing and they are there for a reason. It's entirely possible for someone to use this site and never even see the news except the first time they click Hide section... but they click on an article, they read it, and they read the comments. then they act like it's the commenters' fault that they had to see that.

@KingDeathTrooper Let's try an analogy.

You are thinking of moving.

You find a house you really like in a little village.

You go to view the house and all along the roadside to the village entrance you see supportive placards and posters of *insert name here*

Now you assume this village holds *insert persuasion here*, which is the complete opposite of your own.

Now, not everybody in that village holds the same views, but the ones that do are the loudest and most visible.

You might go see the house, you probably won't buy it.

By the time someone has seen the recently posted news headlines - first impressions have already been made. Doesn't matter if you hide it or not then, you assume the whole community holds the same stance. So you generate more one-sided traffic and put-off the rest.

All of this is irrelevant, of course. ...

@ May I offer an alternative? The problem is not so much on the potential verbal abuse over the news but more in relation to the content. No moderation of the news section would pretty much allow anything and everything. That's not a good idea as it will certainly attract extreme elements and ideas that would damage the reputation of the site as a whole.

I would suggest to keep moderating the news, if not actively, at least on a passive mode and keep the ToS applicable. Active moderation would have to be applied upon written complaints.

In regards to the abuse towards moderators being a problem that requires a solution, I wish you would have told me this earlier. The solution is extremely simple. Disciplinary actions would have to be taken by a disciplinary board comprised of the Moderators and presided by the Admin. The decision quorum could be a simple majority with the Admin casting the tie vote. All communication to the respected members should be on an anonymous basis under an account titled "Disciplinary Board" or simply "Moderator" with no distinguishing names.

I do like the idea of group chats, like a chat room for particular topics. I agree with DF though that you would need more mods for something like that. They would be needed to keep people in line, but still with enough freedom to make it fun.

Since the news experiment went sideways, twice. I must agree 100% "Entertainment Only" and focus on discussions, news, discovery and sharing - instead of bullsh*t pulpits, politics and cliques. Eventually this place would evolve as lively and orderly as "that other popular site" w chat app and a secondary r.column live feed aggregated from sitewide commentary. Which spurred conversational minutia about movie and shows in real time. When ppl had a live feed to share the 99 thots they're shouting at a screen during GOT [or whatever] with other devotees... thats an exciting and worthwhile bonding experience. I miss that feature most and think it would serve well here.

Meanwhile, make chatbox and forum Invisible to unregistered public - viewable only for logged in registered users. Mostly helps with logout lookey-loo's - while hooking curious new signups (that aren't pre freaked with mob style chat and forum.)

Tweak and elevate 2moo's chatroom by clearing system output file of gross comments and dedicate a human mod. ...

I don't feel debates about politics can be moderated without strict rules that apply to just that forum. I don't think that that section should necessarily have Site Moderators, but fully dedicated News Moderators only.

From what I've seen, members do want debate, but end up arguing because there are no guidelines.

I would like to see the News section ("News added by users") in the the right hand of the screen changed to just a clickable link that says "NEWS". No one will need to hide the news because the news is something you go to intentionally.

I feel there should be strict rules for the rest of the site that the news and subsequent debates stay in that section, and are prohibited from being discussed on the rest of the site. The idea behind that is that there is a fully dedicated section for it and the rest of the site is more film, fun, amusement and even cooking and pet related.

I would like to see more film, book and series related information, and even discussions on where ideas for films and series come from, their possible motivation, etc.

It would seem to be a good idea to segregate the news, political and religious banter to a separated part of the site that has to intentionally be clicked to arrive there. Also only allowing registered site members to read or comment there would seem like a good idea and put a stop to people logging out to see what members they have blocked are saying, then logging back in.

As far as moderation of an area like that I'd say no moderation at all unless a member logs a written complaint. By and large topics like these can generate some staunch disagreements and anyone too timid to take the heat oughta just stay outta the kitchen.

However I do wish people would keep things civil, as most would, though some wouldn't and might require reminding of a need for overall civility from time to time.

@chaseyerself I understand.

Chat is very difficult to moderate.

People who aren't even on chat during the time the offense occurs often step in afterwards to have an opinion.

The new TOS does not allow for that on the forum or chat part of the site.

PMs and the like, are the only method to discuss a suspension or ban.

If the member is argumentative, it will not be tolerated, any longer.

Does that help at all?


Reference:

www5.two-movies. name/tos/

What has been added:

Discussing Moderator/Admin actions (deleting/moving/editing threads or posts) is not allowed in the public. Any particular issues will only be dealt with in Private Messages sent to a Moderator/Admin. All complaints should be sent via PM to Moderators/Admins or via the site's contact form.

The decisions of Administrators & Moderators are final. Arguing against our decisions will coincide with our TOS, since our decisions are based upon the simple 'common-sense' rules outlined so far. ...

@chaseyerself If I may, that proposal would be an invitation to abuse and monopolise the chat box. And the chat box does not entertain one discussion at a time but more often than not, two and three and four, with different members participating in each discussion. Banning one of the members who happened to make a comment that you may find insulting, will deprive the other members of their entire discussions. Not to even mention that the other members may retaliate by banning you just because they found your action insulting to them. As you can understand this can go on and on, without end.

I am quite new on this site but already love it. I used to be on Solar movies for years but after they were shut down i never found a succesor that was as full of enthusiasts as Solar used to be. Till now.
I would like to make the following suggestion:
Why not providing a platform here for movies/videoclips that were produced by members?
That might range from lil funnies to semiprofessional clips or even professional movies.
i produce quite a lot of clips (mainly animation of technical processes and economic data, but also cartoons, adverts etc.)and i find it hard to do "testruns" with audience. This site would have the advantage to have many,many "trained eyes" for feedback, for suggestions and reviews/criticism. I know quite a few young filmmakers and students that face the very same problem (Baden-Württemberg movie academy,i am a sustaining member)
Youtube ,vimeo and other usual suspects cant provide this, just too much rubbish.
here is link to a 90 sec. project clip done by students of said academy.(ITS NOT authorized by Daimler-Benz). I love it but the test run was done basically with the makers families.

@Adrian∞ There's a place here where you can post videos like that and they show up on the homescreen.
Just tap Add Video


And it will take you here

@delamitri Thanks delamitri
well i was aware that there is the possibility of uploading own videos to your profile.
So your videos stand alone and will only be watched by visitors(as far as i understand it)
I was rather thinking of something like a "filmmakers corner" where many different clips of different origin are available and open to discussion. This probably would require some preselection like sorting out my moms last birthday video, but i think it would attract a new group to the site

@Adrian∞ That was very unexpected!

I had to read the comments to fully understand the true meaning of the message at the end.

Left me with a mixture of shock, surprise and a smirk!

Well done all involved.

@Adrian∞ I LOVED the clip you posted! Made me laugh out loud!

I think an 'original content' section in the forum would be a great addition. People could post short stories, poems, artwork, links to original shorts/student productions, etc.

@DemandingFemale "original content" is a great title! and why not stories, graphics poems etc. Basically a platform for all creatives. And i think there are MANY here. Lets tickle them out of their nutshell!

Curious as to the end goal here? More page views pays you Doc? Never seen an ad here so, I've just assumed you're altruistic about it. lol

On a serious note, I should say, for the most part, I don't mind the headlines being in the same spot as new episodes or new movies. Pretty sure that's helpful to folks that might have missed something during the day. Sans the Alex Jones conspiracy BS items, no harm, no foul.

As for the forum, yeah, it's gonna get heated once in a while. That's going to happen anywhere you put it. 7 billion potential people are never going to agree on the same thing. However again, moving it would be a pointless exercise. Dummies would still find it and, then you're just spreading your task load for no reason.

@PsychoDeeDee Take your adblocker off, and you'll see ads. lol

It's expansion and betterment of the site.

Doc is interested in having member-feedback in his decisions.

It's not that he's going to do what any one person suggests, it's in the interests of creating a site that is user supported on the creative side.

As with all things, there's lots of adjustments and modifications that will always be being made.

i have a technical suggestion. It would be great to have a "binge button" with the series, so it automatically plays all episodes of one season -one after another. Bingers wouldnt have to manually click to next episode any more. THANKS!

@Adrian∞ Impossible. You see videos by visiting links, we don't control links.

@Dr.Evil
Au Contraire Mon Capitan! It shouldnt be too hard to link let`s say all links of a series season of one streamer like openload in a coded loop. it actually is available on some sites like this.

@Adrian∞ The problem with video host, if the video doesn't get click it will get remove from 2 weeks to 30 days, depend on the host. And linkers use more then one video hosts so it is hard to make a auto play.

Anyway we could get a trailers tab for TV shows added? I always have to go over to IMDB to watch trailers for the TV shows and it would be so much easier if they were on here just like they are for movies. Thank you.
