Rejected Movies
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2019 7:13 am
Please help me to understand this as I am confused.
I was just about to download and install Coollector when I decided to take a look through the forum first. Looking through various user posts I stumbled upon a thread where users submit movies they wish to be added to the database.
My question is twofold.
1) Why do we have to submit something to you, and then have you add a movie to a database?
Every other cataloger I've ever used populated the db based upon movies it finds while scanning a directory and then querying a movie service such as IMDB or TMDB. So why are we (they) having to add movies manually?
And if it has to be done manually for some reason, why are users not able to simply add the movies they want to by themselves, without having to submit them to you for "approval".
2) Browsing through the posts I kept seeing submissions that were "Rejected". Why are you rejecting "erotic" movies?
I saw somewhere where you state that it's because children can use this database. But children can use IMDB and TMDB. Not to mention access everything and anything else that's on the Internet that's far, far worse. Is this a religious issue for you? I really don't understand.
What I do understand is that I don't like someone telling me what I can and cannot add to my movie database. Your views should not dictate what I can and cannot see. And they won't.
I have been collecting movies for nearly 30 years. I have over 8,000 titles that date back to the 1920s and every decade in between. Fewer than 10% of those titles would be considered erotic. But my collection would be incomplete without them, and any movie collection software that is going to block access to those titles simply fails at it's primary function - which is to catalog every movie within my collection.
Now I realize that you probably won't allow this post. That it will probably never make it's way onto your forum. And that's OK. It's you that I wanted to reach out to and perhaps get an answer as to why you feel the need to block these titles.
In the meantime I will install Kodi, or any one of a dozen other similar apps that don't feel the need to impose their repressive mindset upon their users.
