Community Policy

Respect the room

EZ Critic exists because people disagree about movies. Disagree with the take, not the person. Do not harass, threaten, insult, or impersonate other members, and do not dig for anyone's personal information. Direct your energy at the film.

Tear apart films, not people

A review can be merciless about a movie. It cannot attack people for who they are. Content that demeans someone or incites hostility over their ethnicity, faith, gender, gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, or anything similar gets removed - and coded versions of the same message count. Irony is not a loophole.

Don't spam

No flooding films with junk reviews, no copy-paste reactions across the catalog, no using your profile or reviews as a billboard for something else. Repetitive patterns get caught, held, and removed.

Write your own words

Most reviews here are built from reactions, not paragraphs. If you have unlocked written reviews, every word should be your own. Quoting a critic or a friend is fine when you say who said it; passing off someone else's writing as yours is not.

Keep scores honest

Scores only mean something if they are real reactions. No multiple accounts, no coordinated voting, no review bombing a film or the people who made it. The Terms of Service spell out the consequences.

Don't vandalize the sources

Our catalog syncs from TMDB. Deliberately corrupting data there so the damage washes up here is treated as a violation on this site, the same as if you did it directly.

How we enforce this

We may hold or remove content and restrict or close accounts that break these rules, as described in the Terms of Service. Reviews from new accounts may be held for a check before publishing. If you think we got a call wrong, say so via the contact form. This policy evolves as the community does.

Short version: argue about movies, not about each other.
