Does direct democracy actually work? Just think of the mubi vs The Auteurs voting. Anyway…

Was there ever Mubi vs. the Auteurs voting? I don’t remember that. Although I was on vacation for most of that period of Mubi history.
Yes, it ended 162:2 for The Auteurs. Not sure if Dimitris can break that record.

i vote he should be allowed back with his own full-time moderator
it isn’t fair to others and we all know he hasn’t changed. it’s wrong to encourage such behavior
chained + eagle 0
unchained + moderator 1

The best choice always lies somewhere between the two extremes….
Maybe un-muzzled but automatically moderated after 30 minutes… Follow Dimitris in real time only!
or time delay ^
it would prevent fights
I like being a contrarian, so muzzled permanently. Just kidding.

On an entirely different note, contrarian is a word, isn’t it? Firefox doesn’t recognize it, but I’m sure it’s a real word. At least more real than re-un-muzzled.
LOL @ the time shifting solutions!!
And Shakha, Contrarian is a word, but my Firefox doesn’t recognize it either…. I bet it’s a conspiracy to get people fully in line with the government by removing words that express dissent!
Moderated
I, out of respect, respectfully, say that i’m all for saying no to the yeah yeah yeahs, and nays to the yeses and yeasayers alike. My vote is still leaning toward don’t know. If I must choose, then I choose, not to. If I really have to, I will not. Ever. Oh that folding chair is for sale? I like that? 70’s? It’s a scene. Not Hobbes’ scene. :P
For showing uncommon composure in producing a reasonably coherent post in the face of Uschi’s udders…

@ wanderer: hi5 man. And peace is always better. Save me a place up front huh? Don’t let that precious cinema house of yours and ours burn down, you hear me? Australia here I come (not really. One day though. One day. Oh the medal! Aha. It’s so sunny!) and a little liberté, égalité, fraternité, too. Thank you. I humbly accept this accolade and I thank all of you. A-L-L.
How about this, drunky?: let him come back and turn it into a drinking game. Every time D curses, insults someone, or uses an exclamation point, everyone has to drink a shot of Wild Turkey. If a post actually requires moderation, you have to make it a double.

I’m a teetotaller, so that wouldn’t work for me. Of course, you could always have a variant of this with cranberry juice and whoever is last to the can…okay, maybe not.
Chanandre:
Ah, the Astor’s lease is for another several years, the cinema is not leaving us. As long as people are working hard behind the scenes, the cinema shall always be around.
WOW I HAD ONLY OPENED THIS THREAD FOR THE FIRST TIME TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY OF A DRINKING GAME.
We’re obviously onto something here. And whenever he gets muzzled, we have a round of Edward Fifthhands (for those not in the know, it’s where you tape a fifth of vodka to each hand and the tape doesn’t come off until the fifths are empty).
—PolarisDiB
That’s one mean game. It rivals my game where you watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original, obvs) and drink every time you hear the word, “Who”.
We’ll have some effed up cinephiles.
