Proposed new moratorium on new sub-categories,etc.

I agree with where you are going. I also think we should delete all pages(besides gun/actor pages) that do not have any screen caps. That is what it seems all the incomplete/crappy/lame pages have in common -no screencaps

I agree to a point. There are some really comprehensive pages, but they lack screencaps for some reason. I think the criteria should be a page by page basis.

Well we do seem to have (from time to time) noobs who insist on creating a multitude of pages with no screencaps. I don't mind 1 or 2 pages as long as they try their hand at page building, but if they continue to populate IMFDB with lame pages, then it sends a strong message that they just don't get it.

We can do a page by page basis. It's pretty obvious when a member is 'trying' their best and when a member is an idiot. Being the internet, I fully expect more 'idiots' than sincere members, but that's just me I would cut a sincere member some slack.

I would just like to let ya'll know that if I create a page, there will probably be no screencaps. This is mainly because I can't take screenshots on my computer (I only have the bare minimum of programs on it, which doesn't even include Microsoft Word)

If so then you are being part of the problem.
All you need to screencap is some kind of graphics editing program like MS paint and the "Print Screen" key.

There you go. My first pages took some tweaking and I had to learn. But I was given a few pointers and I wasn't automatically deleted. But I also agree that there are some really terrible pages and I've marked a few for deletion. You can usually tell if somebody is really trying.

Yes, BUT remember that many IMFDB members are getting less tolerant of the guys who create TONS of new pages and don't bother to learn how to screencap.

It was well described in the "noeffort" template, in which the quote hilariously (and truthfully) mentioned that such a person essentially demands that someone else take the time and effort to screencap a movie or tv show or etc. in order to complete THEIR page. I'm sure you understand why this annoys people.

I'm getting more intolerant of new members who create new and terrible pages in rapid succession. When I was a newbie (and yes we all were one once), I never created TONS of new and lame pages and lost interest and moved onto to create even MORE new and lame pages. That's what most of the members are complaining about.

Sure that's understandable.But I still feel case by case basis is necessary. I'm not against the proposal, but lets try to avoid knee jerk reactions. That's all I'm saying.
