Passion For Cinema FAQs

Today was a sunshiny day, except, my post to PassionForCinema was rejected. Why, oh why?

Level I Contributor posts go through the editors of PFC who review posts for originality, creativity, and basic language. Editors have rejected posts for various reasons, such as: too much of the same at one time, an article borrowing more than it should from elsewhere, or just incomprehensible language. Any article that was posted anywhere else on the interwebs or offline, even if it was your own blog is not considered original content and will be rejected or taken down.

I’ve been pacing for two days now. My post is still in review. Why is it not published yet?

Relax. Sometimes our editors are just inundated with content to review and at other times we want to make sure there’s enough time gap between published articles.

Blasphemy! My post has been modified! Why?

We have good intentions. Perhaps you forgot to add an image (at least one image is mandatory), or appropriate tags, or categorized your post incorrectly and our night-time cleaning crew must have set things right. The cleaning crews have also known to truncate posts that are found to have already been posted elsewhere, even if it was posted on your own blog.

How can she edit my comment? How can she edit my comment? Sir, how can she edit my comment?

Ah! Comments Policy! Comments are encouraged as our mission is to be the premier site on the Internet for cinema discussion. However, any free platform also requires some moderation and regulation.

So here we go:
Any comments that are tasteless, insulting, abusive, off-topic, or inappropriate may be edited or deleted. Any personal remarks and/or attacks and requests for employment will be edited or deleted. Any comments that are spam, marketing messages, or hate statements, WILL be deleted, and the offending IP may be banned. We may also publish the email address and IP address of the offending commenter. If you comment in order to promote your own site, company, or property, your comment may be edited.

My mom/better-half wants to know when will I be promoted to be a Level II Author.

You can apply to graduate after you have been a Level I Contributor for at least 6 months and at least 10 of your articles have been published by the editors. Once the PFC Level II panel approves your application, you graduate to Level II Author. To apply, send an email to editors [at] passionforcinema.com with links to your author page (http://passionforcinema.com/author/*username*)

I don’t have time to ask questions frequently. I’m a busy film professional with my name on imdb.com. I would like to write on PFC exclusively. My people will get in touch with your people; guide them.

Hey People! Does your overlord have at least one film credit? Can you lobby at least two other exclusive authors for recommendations? If so, write to us at editors [at] passionforcinema.com and once our PFC Level II panel approves the application you can get busy brainstorming a name for your overlord’s blog.

I am an old time PFC author and I want to sign in with my third party profile such as Facebook/Twitter/Google/Yahoo/Wordpress/Blogger. But if I sign in with one of those profiles I don’t seem to have the privileges I used to have. What do I do?
