Yeah i did mean that

Matt I have no idea about this opt out thing, I know it was for controversy but didnt realise anything had been said about the razzies, as this is a lot more lighthearted than most hated. Didnt wanna just ignore your post though

Could well be

Don't know whether the Razzies are worth the effort - after all, the ceremonies are now more likely to be locked and deleted than not, and clearly four years after they started they're now a bit of a problem (despite the fact that only one person has ever taken extreme offence in that time)

I'll wait and see what James (and only James) has to say before I decide how to proceed

I think the Razzies are the only thing i look forward in general on the forum. It's a light-hearted bit of fun after all right? People on here take things so seriously it's unbelievable.

All the effort you put in to actually organizing and running them should be respected.

Yeah it's always annoying how the threads get locked and then are just forgotten about. They've even been locked when there wasn't even any arguing going on.

I want to get my claws out and win a few of these awards, especially the creepiest member one.

[Kate!]

Sometimes it goes too far this, and its just an excuse for someone to be able to anonymously say nasty and unacceptable/upsetting/insulting things that normally as a rule they'd get infracted for. Plus they get to do so anonymously. As I said this time last year, its all very well if its kept lighthearted and is very clearly all in fun, but some go too far, I voted for some of the awards last year ... All my noms were very jokey and I was very careful to choose people/say stuff that I knew would be taken in good humour. Shame but not everyone is that decent about it.

And yes I complained last year and Matt, you weren't happy that I'd done so. I won't hesitate to do do again if I find it unacceptable not just towards myself, but others as well. I know full well I'm far from tje only one who feels this way, but won't necessarily open their gobs lol :/

Sandra Bullock won a razzie and then an oscar so people really shouldn't be offended, you could end up in the hall of shame and then win most loved

[Maia]

But no one has to give reasons for this they just pick who they want to vote for

And it's light-hearted the only people who have gone too far with it has been Brother Leon and Locke

Take this in advance

People need to stop being so ****ing sensitive and get a grip of themselves if they get upset over something as trivial as this

[Mystic Mock]

The thing is, is if your going to have stuff like Most Loved and vote on it and don't mind taking part, then the same courtesy should be shown towards The Razzies.

Nobody's even said they're opting out yet and anyway I don't see why it's such a major disaster if one or two people do

My offence comes from the fact that this is being discussed behind my back, and that moderators are announcing the rules of my game without consulting me first

As Jarrod quite rightly pointed out, it's a matter of respect

That said, I am of the opinion that there shouldn't be an opt-out list, for the following reasons (which I messaged to James earlier):

- As a whole the Razzies are a lot more light-hearted than Controversy/Most Hated Member, and most if not all of the individual awards aren't as insulting
- In the four years I've ran the Razzies so far there's only been one member that's taken extreme offence (and that member had voted for the awards so clearly they knew what they were about)
- There isn't an opt-out list for the real life Razzie Awards
- An opt-out list would undermine the Razzies - if a significant amount of members opted out there would be no point in running it

Cheers matt, you're cool
So are you going to drop the anonymity?

Quite a common feeling on this forum.

[Kate!]

Lucas, with due respect, that's very rude what you said.

Plus last year things went way way too far and got too personal, and I don't mean in regard to myself either

That's my opinion, its how I feel, and to say its not worth holding because an opt out option may be put in place just indicates to me that it is in fact all about being able to have a go at those who are the most sensitive and will get upset.

My god..I take loads of stick from the Turtle, Marc and a few others, so its not that I can't take banter fgs. Here's an idea, Let's do it, but not anonymously. Oh no, people won't do it then though will they?

I can't speak for all but for me it's just a laugh and should not be taken seriously.

Also if your gonna accept your positives then you should also accept your negatives being pointed out imo, and that's not just aimed at you *Kate*.

And with this opt-out thing it starts a chain. Once one does it a few start doing it.

[Brother Leon]

Quick question


Can we discuss who we nominated in here, or is going to be deemed "baiting"?

[Josy]

Just wanted to point out, the mods weren't discussing it.
