Re: I am new - I am feeling sad - is Critiker past it's sell by date?

i'll say the same thing i say to everyone who posts threads like this: you don't have enough ratings for it to be deadly accurate yet. i'm always proven right when i click the poster's profile afterwards, and you are no exception. based on your scale you've also rated waaaaaay more stuff you like th...

Re: Hi. New here. How to get better Criticker recommendations?

the criticker algorithm is basically useless until you've rated 200+ films IMO, kind of plucking that number out of the air but it feels about right. 1000ish is when it started to get eerily accurate for me, but it's still useful with less--even on the games site where i have slightly under 300 rati...

Re: Framed Movie Picture Game...

i actually played it for the 100th time today. i've had 86 correct and 14 incorrect so far, max streak of 17 but i'm on a current streak of 11 so hoping to beat it this time! they'll probably throw in some hideous curveball like usual though.

Re: A Note on Hate Speech and Criticker's Abuse Policy

yeah, in that case some clarification is needed. lord knows i’ve given shogunrua my share of shit over the years, but banning him based on that thread would be absurd, unless it turned nasty after the point i last read it.

Re: A Note on Hate Speech and Criticker's Abuse Policy

I do think it's sort of funny that the most enthusiastic response to this has been from a 49-year-old who works for Conan O'Brien (and who you might think has better things to do than lurk on a dying movie website). Meanwhile I'm over here writing up a business proposal to Peter Thiel, asking him t...

Re: A Note on Hate Speech and Criticker's Abuse Policy

the more Greatly Awokened a forum becomes the more it puts me to sleep, which is why i still spend the most time on metal boards despite them being populated by a sizeable portion of the most ethically and intellectually questionable degenerates on the internet. those places tend to be stuck in 2002...

Re: Why does a film's PSI not match my rating?

i understand the complaint, it would be useful to be able to see your ratings in relation to the PSIs. personally i think you should be able to toggle between either way though, as sometimes i do like to see the PSIs for films i've rated. it's probably the easiest way of picking out films i need to ...

Re: Criticker ratings and difficult watches

i'm sorry if that was a grumpy reply or i mischaracterised your post (i was admittedly being snarky with that paraphrasing). i'm absolutely with you that people should rate honestly based on their reaction to the film and not based on some notions they have about "objective quality", but what bother...

Re: Criticker ratings and difficult watches

This is an old thread but the OPs post is just down my alley, so I have to comment! And also I saw that Paulofilma mentioned my very old thread about a similar subject (and containing her great bits of advice). I talked to someone working at MovieLens and I brought up the question of why MovieLens ...

to be or not to be...

https://www.criticker.com/profile/Clark_Nova/ this user does not exist on any of the film pages, and they aren't on my ignore list--not sure if this is a me problem or an everyone problem. for example, they rated this film but it shows (for me) as having 0 ratings (although the stats tab does say 1 ...
