New Film Excitement and Nelson

[nelson]

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!

Idiots.

Yes, I do call them idiots.

I call certain people idiots. People that don't read the rules. People that want to spoil the movie for others (believe it or not, not all of us want to know every single script, visual, and movie detail before the movie comes out).

I also mock people Only after I have warned them several times) that are sooo lazy that they can not be bothered to look if the subject thread is something that has been posted before.

I also mock people that come here and troll (there are tons of Transformers web sites where you can troll and feel right at home).

Mind you, I believe in the freedom of speech even if these boards are private and not government property. But there has to be some rules. Think of it this way: when you're an invited guest to someone's house, you don't go and take dump in the middle of their living room. Sure, you can dislike Bay's films and post politely why you hate them, but you don't have the right to take it personal and post hateful and trolling post. There are other sites for that; this is not one of them.

If you want to spoil yourself about the movie, fine. But just don't expect others to do the same.

For someone who says you didn't belittle anyone you sure went out of your way to call me a "bad apple."

BTW, you're wrong. I'm not banning you.

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.

And I seriously have to agree with Trailbreaker. I've only been here a short time...like three days, but I've done a lot of snooping around before I joined and haven't seen anything super nasty. And I'm honestly surprised by the level or anger. No one is forced to joint or stay...
I think this is an awesome site.

I used to post at a board that had no mods and the entire time I posted there, only one message was ever modded (it was locked...and within a few hours, was unlocked). That place was a horrible cesspool and I stopped posting there because I got tired of the flaming and other crap things that went on there. It was recently closed down (boy was I ever happy to see that place go).

When faced with the two (unmodded vs modded), the answer was clear to me: I will always prefer modded because unmodded is just too wild and chases away far more people then it will bring in and I can easily see why Michael Bay would prefer moderation (to bring his fans together, not break them up).

Personally, I have no issue with how Nelson treats people, but that probably comes from the fact that I work a customer service job and I know exactly how taxing it can be to deal with stupid people. Anymore, even I am not so nice with them (I call them out for insulting me and tell them if they would like to continue the conversation, they need to act like an adult, otherwise I'll hang up the phone...they don't generally like that at all, but tough...it's hard to deal with their problem when they're been so unreasonable).

Anyway, a soap opera eh? That could make for an interesting web comic if you wanted to go the soap opera comedy route :-p

Box ...pretty much nailed it here....This Forum rules and if it wasn't for Nelson there would be spam bots and trolls all over this site like most other forums....and he only banned people who just didn't get what this forum is about.... Micheal Bay and some other things....Finally, if you don't like it so much go be a troll on Break.com

Not just that. But outright troll around and attack other members in many sickening ways, without any mods to control it.
