New Film Excitement and Nelson

[ariggsy1976]

Ive considered posting this for awhile and thought out the ramifications and I have come to the realization that the reason we have a constitution is to uphold certain God-given rights... FREE SPEACH. Blast me all you want but in my opinion having anyone moderate these forums w/ an iron fist while making comments that are crude and crass as to the intelligence of the members only to bolster their confidence/superiorty is a bit tedious and unnecessary. You are going to have multiple posts and people stepping outside the boundaries of what the moderators find "acceptable" , to find out more about a film they are completely CRAZY to see and spend their hard earned money on, but that does not give them right to be condescending and outright rude. Ive held my tongue for quite some time and I think that its a shame that we have to deal w/ this on a regular basis on a website made for FANS of a man who makes films to bring people joy and amazement. Calling people "idiots" and being completely confrontational goes way to far! If someone wants to ask a question that seems redundant or completely off the wall...LET THEM! You have no right to constantly act as if these are unreasonable requests. So if anyone out there is fed up w/ catering to this superiority mentality please post because Im sure Ill be banned for this, but that will only further my point. If you notice I belittled no one and spoke my mind. And Mr. Bay you rock and you might want to take a good look at how your FANS are being treated on your website. Its a shame that one bad apple ruins the bunch!

I'm pretty sure Nelson has the same rights. He will respond as he wishes.

Last time I checked, Free-Will was a God-Given Right aswell.

[ariggsy1976]

Your right but have you ever heard the old saying "If you dont have anything nice to say...dont say anything" . There is a fine line between being instructive and being destructive. Do you really thin Michael Bay wants his fans being brow-beat? I would not

[Mech_1000]

Nelson is doing a great job. People who are called idiots always deserve it. Moderating is needed. I've fallen victim of accidentally reading spoolers that really I didn't want to know. People who post things without doing a seconds research get flamed, and sure, they deserve it.

Being courteous and freedom of speech are two different things.

[ariggsy1976]

Im sorry I didnt realize that we should all be IT specialists before logging on and having some simple fun. Remember this is a movie FAN site not people coming together to try and cure the worlds problems. If it was I could get on board for some stricter guidelines as to what was posted, but you know what....its not. So relax

[The Last Autobot]

Personally, I haven't seen Nelson do anything questionable yet, he seems pretty reasonable, at times a bit exasperated, but then again, I havent been on for too long.

Any examples?

Yes I realize this but that does not give someone the right to make that person feel stupid or less like an intellectual just b/c you can say it.

Go to his post history and you would be surprised

Sure it does, Nelson has the responsibility to put people in their places lol.

I hear you, I will check it out, but maybe let him reply back to this thread on his own defense.

Everyone deserves a fair trial, and I've said alot of stupid shit here and I havent been scolded let alone banned. But to each his own.

Hey, when you are the mod you run the forum how you wish. Like it or not this site is not a soapbox for any member, it's within the limits of what Bay and Nelson wish. This is America, but this forum is Bay's backyard, you can't act and talk any way you please at somebody else's place.

[ariggsy1976]

I dont know your situation..but lets say if your at your job, or taking a class, or having a conversation w/ a friend and you say something thats off subject , they blast you for being so innept and call you "idiot" your ok w/ that b/c thats their responsibilty? They are just a person same as you...right? If your ok w/ that then more power to you, but Im not

Not on a soapbox, but if your alright w/ the things are ran then more power to you

If its not a soapbox then why do we have posts like " Bots I'd like to see in the next movie" or " This is what Id like to see happen"...makes ya think dont it!

[SamWitwicky]

i can tell you feel really strong about this, because you have more posts in this thread than everyone added together.

Who do you think you are, Nelson's Mom? "OMFG! You should be ashamed of yourself!....Michael Bay would be very displeased!....how dare you mistreat these poor little fans!" You are taking this way too out of proportion. You look at us as if Nelson is trying to torture us at a f*cking concentration camp. Do you see anybody else complaning? Nope. In contrast to what is seen from your eyes, I am seeing f*cking Disney World. This is an awesome site, I love it here, we all do. Open you're eyes and get some damn glasses. It's not that bad!

:wtf man, seriously.

"As The World Turns: A Michael Bay Forum"... Tune in next week folks!

Seriously man, it's not your place, you don't make the rules. Play by Mike and Nelson's rules or leave, nobody's asking you to stay and take their "abuse." Frankly I think this thread should be closed, why do we need a whole thread about your complaint about how things are run.

[Drake]

Free speech does not apply to privately owned message boards. I hate when people act like they are being oppressed because they can't say whatever the hell they want on a website someone is paying money to maintain.

Additionally, you agreed to follow certain rules upon coming here. If you missed that, the responsibility still lies with you to follow rules, no matter how unfair you think they may be.

I am pretty new to the forum. But, what you need to understand is simple.

A lot of people are idiots. They need to know that so they can try gaining some intelligence. I have a roommate that is probably about as intelligent as Mudflap and Skids. I'm not joking. She didn't know how to multiply 1/4 three times. She didn't know how to spell "Casino".

And this isn't America. This is the internet. When you registered you agreed to lose all freedoms on this forum that Michael Bay and the moderators felt you did not need.

And to be honest, looking at this forum compared to others. To me, I think the forum could use a little stronger of a hammer with all the pointless threads and damn near duplicate threads that are on here.

You are wrong.

Nelson is the admin/webmaster of michaelbay.com and we all play by his rules. Don't like 'em? Then leave. A messageboard is not a democracy, it's a dictactorship. If you can't follow rules on an internet messageboard, maybe you shouldn't be on the internet.
