Should Payton be banned?

[Kane]

One day, once everyone else has grown frustrated and left, 3dmm.com will be a cesspit of autistic children and terrible movies with Among Us characters being dragged around Misty City.

And Nixon will be there cheering them on like a proud dad.

[Nixon]

okay but that doesn’t help me understand what is wrong with what Payton has been posting, his posts have contained more substance than whatever complaining you discord people have been doing

That lack of incentive to improve would most certainly be the death of 3DMM.

i support that statement but the people making it aren’t really putting the effort in on 3d movie maker themselves, i’d be able to take ploppy’s complaints a lot more seriously if the guy actually touched the software, feel like him and others are gatekeeping a platform that he doesn’t even bother to use himself. in a perfect world you’d all be making Balls type movies and not whining

[Kane]

You keep saying Plopilpy and the others aren't actively using 3dmm, but they are. I keep telling them to post more stuff in the progress thread, instead of Discord, but y'know how they are with these apps.

[Nixon]

well you’ve just justified why i keep saying that in your own post, i’d love to see progress stuff by them on the board, that is the kind of activity that them people should be participating in to warrant their emotional attachments to this website

[PizzaLuigi]

Y’know what I don’t care anymore do what ya want ban him don’t ban I don’t care

[Kane]

Everyone who's active should just stick to the Discord for a month or so. Allow Nixon and the others to dwell in the company of Payton & Co and see how they get on.

[Nixon]

isn’t that pretty much what you’ve all been doing since that discord was made anyway haha

[French Fry]

I cleaned up the releases thread, because the amount of thumbnail-less movies that consist of nothing but actors walking through default scenes for five minutes was far too high. PizzaLuigi made a good point in that it's clogging up the releases section and hiding away the movies that are actually worth watching.

[Plopilpy]

Why don't you remove LekPeek's thread and all of Chill Day's and Anthony's movies while you're at it? They add nothing, and all of their comments are saying how bad they are (except for the funny one in the thread by LekPeek haha, good job rivers)

[French Fry]

This was the criteria:
1. Does it have a thumbnail?
2. Is it nothing but actors walking around a default scene?
3. Does the download link work?
If it fails 2/3, it got removed.
Most of the ones I removed didn't even have working links.

Pretty sure I've posted more than you the last few months haha

Also, big fan of the new criteria for movies.

[French Fry]

It won't be a strict criteria going forward. If someone uploads a thumbnail-less movie, I'll tell them to put up a thumbnail. If they don't have a download link, I'll tell them to fix it. If they don't fix their thread, I'll remove it. However, the 2nd criteria is a bit hard to enforce. I can't up and remove someone's first thread at first sight because its bad. That's just not fair for newer members. But if they post a second or third movie with hardly any signs of improvement, while actively denying criticism, that might be grounds for removal.

[Nixon]

that is very fair and understanding of you, i think that method is good and will be positive for everybody

[Old Rivers]

Ugh.

[French Fry]

* pulls exploding earpiece away from head * I've just been informed that we cannot delete movies simply because people think they are shit. I'm restoring some of the threads and giving them thumbnails so they're not as jarring on the new releases page. I figured, this is one of the oldest active online communities, what good is it to delete a few crappy movies? It would be far more constructive for me to preserve them, even if they're not worth watching.
Threads without working download links won't be restored because some of the users haven't been active for months.

Not for much longer it seems

I appreciate you actually TRYING to do something to make this place worthwhile.
