TF3 Discussions In Status Bar


Blitz-Wing

Recommended Posts

There are certain people excited about the upcoming movie next year. Equally, there are certain people who want to shield themselves from any knowledge of said movie. As a member of this forum, it's your duty to respect everyone's wishes within reason. As staff, I have a responsibility to make sure that reasonable requests are met.

 

That being said, there are those who would post TF3 news or rumors in the status bar. Once I see them, they are promptly taken down. I've been a nice staffer so far and have let it slide while posting a request to keep TF3 info off the status bar. Somehow, it still happens.

 

Therefore, I'm putting the word out now. Any further TF3 news or rumors that makes it to the status bar will net the poster a warning. Please respect those who do not wish to hear about TF3. We strive to make this a site everyone wants to visit and it bothers me that some people don't want to be here because others openly discuss the movie. If you have any questions about this, my PM is always open for debate.

 

 

Thanks!

To some they are though (like me). I read a thread the other day about a figure, and sure enough all the latest movie news that I've been trying to skip was all listed right there plain as day

 

What the new designs look like, replaced cars, where it'll end, and everything else may not seem spoilerish to some. but to those trying to avoid all of it, it's discouraging. That sucked, I'm trying to read about a toy, and suddenly everything was "well we already know..."

 

No we didn't!!!

 

I'm not saying or suggesting don't report and talk about the latest movie news to anyone. But like I said in a different thread, please keep those conversations in those topics cause some of us want to know as little as possible.

Has there been any REAL news at all so far? People seeing cars, cardboard faces, and names of cast members are certainly NOT spoilers by my count. It ruins NOTHING of the movie.

That's not the point. What if a rumor turns out to be true? Then the rumor becomes a spoiler. All we are trying to do is to keep a majority of people happy. There are those who do not want to see ANY TF3 discussions, whether it's news, rumors or hypotheses, etc. All I'm asking is for everyone to respect that and not post TF3 discussions on the status bar. If you want to discuss it, we have a movie subforum that you can do so in.

Yep, count me as one of them. Quite frankly it really annoyed me the other day when someone blatantly posted pictures of

Optimus prime´s supposed trailer

. I for one agree totally with Liege here.

You should have an option that vanishes ALL spolier movie news from the front page & news forum. Cept the other way around, where if you WANT to see it, you click the option of seeing it. And its barred from the rest of us. And yes, there HAS been big news lately. I for one, dont mind the MAIN characters names/faces, but dont want to know the plot/places ect. This is something im not sure TFormers can do, but i have heard other sites out there have this, so i figured i'd suggest it. I stay away from posting anything movie to begin with.

 

That said, i AM looking forward to the movie now from seeing some of these "spoilers". :) And before i saw them on accident (yes it happens online unfortunately), not so much.

I'm antispoiler, but if you have news post it!

 

Just be mindful as you type :P

 

The front page does have a "hide spoiler option" and thats great. The problem really doesn't seem to be TFormers, just lapses of reason when people share in random threads and what not.

 

It's not a reason for anger, it's more like keeping in mind brain farts are still farts. Gotta keep careful of where you let them rip.

 

BW, if need be, I'll understand the write up for that one ;)

Well, one solution would be if I started spewing out completely false rumors left and right for people to latch on to so that you can live in good conscience that any "spoilers" you end up seeing on accident have a 99.99999% chance of being fabricated, and any that aren't you'll still have a hard time believing.

I know there's a laugh track cue in there somewhere, but I can't figure out where :shrug

If knowing someone got a new paintjob on a car or some characters first name ruins a movie for you, I'm lost. I'm mostly pissed off by little things things like the movie being HORRIBLE. Spoilers ARE NOT all information, it's ruining the major plot points ONLY.

 

Buy the way, want to know how the movie ends? The Autobots and their human allies defeat the Decepticons after a big fight with lots of explosions! Didn't see that coming did you? Should I have hidden that?

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
