Default Weird question about Invisible Man's movie reviews

Okay, we've all logged in and seen 9 pages of movie reviews by Invisible Man when we click 'New Posts'.

Who is Invisible Man? And more importantly: Why is it that about 95% of the movies that are reviewed are obscure titles that even I haven't heard of?

I needs to know, man...

And to add to Stubb's wonderings, it doesn't look like anyone (myself included) even bothers to glance at any of his reviews. A quick glance at his postings shows only 1 view on each one. So who's time is being wasted here anyway....

And, on top of that, all summer he would start a new thread for a movie I already had a review for.

And, this will turn people off when they come to check things out. It could be a member killer. Most are not real reviews anyway. They are not even mainstream movies. It just clutters up the system. If I came here to visit I would turn away and never come back seeing stuff like this.

I'm not sure what the technical term is, but its a sort of rss feed driven poster. I've seen them on other forums for news feeds to give members to post about. I don't mind them on dead forums in moderation, its the pages of stuff that gets to be a bit much. The double threads is annoying as well, but it can't see threads or posts.

I have to admit that I find myself quite annoyed having to wade through several pages of those "reviews" in order to find actual new posts. It wouldn't be so bad if there were fewer of them to wade through - perhaps there is a way to tweak it so it either spreads it out more or only posts a few at a time?
