Do moderators ever edit our posts?  

No, most of them just wield adolescent-driven power trips, considering the average age of the moderators on here looks to be 17.

This may be the first message actually moderated now that I think about it.    

I rarely moderate (or edit) posts.  If someone posts a title in all caps, I will change it to lower case or edit it to make the title clearer.  As for the body of the post itself, no editing is done.  Moderators are asked to delete posts rather than edit them.

I've only ever edited 1 post and that was Andrew's thread in WIP to add his synopsis.

For the most part you guys contact me and say "hey delete this" or I contact you and ask if you'd like it gone as I did with Andrew when his thread started to go off topic. That's about as far as I take my mod powers, I don't think anyone has ever abused their powers to a point where they looked bad.

I'm not even a teenager anymore but that's probably what would happen if Don wasn't here, that is what happens on IMDB though.

Don't get me started on imdb. It's full of trolls. I like this site because Don doesn't allow trolls to hang around and drag the site into the gutter.  

My duties usually consist of merging or deleting threads. Usually because that thread is about a movie with a preexisting thread (there is no need for two Toy Story 3 threads).

I agree. IMDB message boards are truly the lowest of the low.

I bet you the IMDB members hate their own mothers.  It seems they hate everything else over there.  

Apparently every movie made sucks.  Did you know that?  I didn't.    

Don't forget about the folks who watch movies then post about how they should be banned and anyone who watches them is sick and, of course, the people who pose as parents who let their nonexistant kids watch any movie they want as long as there's no cursing in it. You'd think moderators don't even exist over there.

Well first of all this is a site where you read other people's scripts give or get feedback, so there's a lot more than just movie watching and wasting time b****ing and moaning about their worst or least favorite director or celeb.

IMDB is great to see filmmakers filmographies. That's about it. I ignore the forums. They're really sloppy and the intereface is very inconvenient.

I agree. I like going there to read filmographies of directors and actors and junk. But I never even knew they had a forum until this thread...at least I know not to sign up for it now.

I think the only problem we have is bashing of screenplays without leaving helpful feedback, a lot of people do that. I think if you only have 1 line to post just send it through a pm don't waste our time by posting it because the writer doesn't get anything from "I like it" or "I hated it"

No script would be on here if it was that good.

Maybe some people would like to know what you liked, what you didn't like but that doesn't mean it's bad, you just didn't feel it worked. People appreciate when they know the reader actually read the script and didn't quickly glance through it or read 10 pages and stop.

How many moderators are there on this site and who are they?

I recently took over the Screenwriting Class. Like Nixon's movie rumors, most of my thread-play has been splits or merges, with the occasional edit of a thread title (changing the title of "Question" to that which describes the thread, for example).

Oh, and I'll be 31 in June.

Thanks dick and George. Do any other moderators want to tell us a little about themselves?
