Is it really necessary to have a poll for every decade going at once? There's like 10 best of polls on the first page...

I dunno, just seemed kind of excessive and overcrowded...

(by the way, if a mod feels like an e-mail would have been more appropriate let me know, I didn't know which to do, feedback forum seemed better...)

edited to add that movie forum is just as bad, I just don't go there as much so I can't say that it really bothers me...I know that there is interest in these threads otherwise they wouldn't be on the first page, but it really stems the discussion flow in other threads because it pushes so many down to the second page (or third page etc...)

I was just in the Review forum and one poster had about a dozen posts on the first page that were all exactly the same except the film title.

The thread titles are:
"Reviews Wanted: [Film Title]"

Then the threads all say this:
"How good of a DVD is this movie? Special Features etc? How good of a plot does it have?Worth a purchase?"

Maybe it's perfectly acceptable, I don't know. I used the "report this thread" on one of them, pointing the situation out.

Most of the information requested is easily available by doing a simple search, if not on this site, then on any one of the other DVD sites.

I don't know if it's an offical rule or not but I know that people have gotten in a little trouble in Other for posting too many threads at a time.

I like the idea of polls for TV in different decades but it probably would have been better to start them one at a time so they wouldn't all be on the first page at once.

The "Best movie of (year) on going debate" threads in Movie Talk are pretty annoying. sometimes there's 8-10 on the front page at once, and their all started by the same guy, though they are usually bumped by someone else.

First, I'd like to say that my "Favorite TV Poll" Poll yeilds "Who is your favorite television Sherman?" as the clear favorite!

Seriously, the Movie Talk posts are fine. They were started days apart from each other and are closed when a clear winner is determined. I thought JonTurner did a very good job with those.

But the TV Talk polls were silly. First off, to do a "poll" for the best sit-com of an entire decade is crazy, as there are so many sit-coms in a decade, to narrow it to 10 choices is borderline absurd. I would enjoy discussing the best sit-coms of a decade, but not with such arbitrary poll choices. And secondly, to post them all so close to one another and flood the forum was a little rude.

Hmmm....and I liked those TV polls!
