Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Comedy looks popular but I feel lucky if I watch even one decent one in a given year.

A lot of films are categorised as Comedy “something” these days, most notably Comedy Drama. I imagine this counts towards the stats.

I fucking hate modern categories.

If I see Lord of the Rings listed in my science fiction category again I'm gonna reach through the internet to back hand whoever decided that through their computer screen.

No, The Expanse does not count as Fantasy.

Is it fantastical? I guess.

Does it fit the movie genre of Fantasy?

Fuck no. It's 'Hard science fiction" as in science fiction based on real world science. Star trek is more soft science fiction. Possible, but basically magic to us. Star WARS on the other hand, I'd say fits into both.

Most of my gripes come from science fiction categories and how their movies are labeled. I swear I once saw Bridget Jones listed in science fiction.
