Many of us may not spend much time there anymore or maybe never did, But it's what got me to join RB. I have since "moved on" in a way, to idle chat/rowdy room and the enjoyment of discussion and banter with those I am familiar with.
But I still go there now and then looking for, ahem "content".
Lately though it has become a clearing house for shitheads just trying to make money from their file hosts. There are way too many threads with nothing but russian crap, as an example. Many of these posters do not even acknowledge posts in their thread, positive or negative. They post the same crap others have and even post stolen links/content from other members. That only supports my belief that they are just trying to make a buck off of us monkeys downloading from their paying links.
The admins can only do what they can. They have their hands tied in a way. CR has always been the best at calling attention to asshole posters but he cannot do anything if they have not actually broken any rules. Adminsky says leave posters alone if they are not technically breaking any rules.
So I am wondering what can we do? Does anyone even care? I could name other boards I also belong to that do not seem to have this problem. Where members are "members" and try to post as a contribution. We still have such here but they are getting lost among the link-money-boys.
We used to maintain this place as a community. I see nothing in the movie section of late from anyone except newbs praising this shit.
Well, that's my rant. Have a nice day.
