    @antovolk you've got me- I've said before how this is the only website on the entire internet that enforces such nonsense on a harmless forum. I found it so dumb that in the past I pretty much blatantly ignored it, lol.
    I will do my best to comply now that it's heated up again (sometimes it's just habit to post a pic related to a discussion) and to @DarthDimi, I hope you didn't think I was giving you a hard time personally. It's just a bonkers rule, and I understand you're just the messenger

    It isn't the fault of anyone on the site. Check any other Bond sites.

    @bondjames
    That's actually a good question, sir, possibly the first truly constructive post in this entire thread. Thanks. :) Allow us to discuss it with the admins. ;-) I don't know if it can be done technically but it would be great!

    @Master_Dahark
    No worries, friend. I never make it personal.

    @RC7
    I'm glad you know from experience that it's not a bonkers rule. :-)

    Holy poop. The only times an entity like EON should even notice their imagery, graphics, et all being used is when A) it is used to the effect of misrepresenting EON or B) if money is actually being made off of the use of said material. Fans conversing together falls so far out of either of those points its not funny.

    Reminder to self: don't EVER share your custom blu-ray cover set with anyone....just in case.

    I just hope that in the future Lola Ponce and her representatives and lawyers don't find their way onto this site. A few years back right on the cusp of SF's release myself and the rest of MI6's perverts filled pages with nothing but pictures of her scantily clad frame and comments expressing our own lustful gawking. Ah, the memories... 8->

    I do hope someone has reported that website to EON's lawyers in case they haven't got copyright for that picture.

    We should really all help EON out during this difficult time by sending them links to every Bond related picture we can find on Google just on the off chance they are being denied valuable revenue by the lawless Internet.

    I blame Tim Berners-Lee myself. By gifting the World Wide Web to the world for free he created a monster that cannot be properly regulated.

    All well and good allowing people free and instant exchange of ideas, access to all the information ever created, cheap flights, videos of cats on skateboards and infinite porn Tim, but did you think how it would impact the livelihood of small family businesses like EON?

    And to think they made him a Knight of the Realm. Disgraceful.

    Look on the bright side Wiz, if we didn't have rules like this then you wouldn't be able to climb on your soapbox and amuse us with your witty and probing posts about this crazy old world. ;)

    Hmm. Not quite sure how totalitarian enforcement of EON's policies equates to freedom of speech.

    Pretty sure at Speakers Corner there's not a sign that says 'Say whatever you want but for *** sake don't exhibit any pictures that are copyright of EON.'

    But whatever.

    Not sure where you're getting freedom of speech from, but the government's inability to arrest people for what they say definitely has nothing to do with this issue whatsoever, I don't think :P

    I think the original point was just that, given nothing to complain about, we wouldn't get your witty/amusing posts (and I agree, I think your posts on the matter are funny).

    Disappointing @Scaramanga12.

    I was about to say that that was the best post on this entire thread but then you've gone and changed it to a link.

    No, it was changed to a link on his behalf.
    I guess he missed the rest of the thread. Or didn't read through the small print.

    @TheWizardOfIce is the voice of truth here.

    This site is just an EON lacky, and it's underhand in that it pretends to be 'unofficial' (independent). We saw that when you sneakily stopped a thread from bumping to the top because you saw it as subversive. I wonder if the day will come when you announce that only positive threads are allowed so as to maintain a friendly relationship. I'm out of here anyway. I hope EON can scrape by without the revenues we have deprived it of.

    Oh come on @Scaramanga12, surely you'll reconsider your hasty decision to leave us? I can assure you we're not all EON lackies, at least I'm not.

    They permitted a contained thread for the script leaks here for months, which is to their credit, so it's not all bad.

    Wasn't there a time we couldn't talk about Nikki van der Zyl? I seem to recall threads being shut down CIA-style, posts being edited and all sorts of crazy stuff trying to snuff out any correspondence on the matter.

    Apologies for doubting you @Scaramanga12.

    I should have guessed that the Mods who constantly claim 'don't shoot the messenger' had intervened on behalf of their bosses.

    Don't know what you're talking about old son. That certainly has never happened on this 100% unofficial, independent website.

    I think that we can find a way through this issue if we try hard enough. It all comes down to whether we want to be members of this community and follow its rules or not. And for the record, I'm nobody's lackey either.

    I don't mind being a lackey ( it's a type of gimp, isn't it ?) but I for one
    will be following the rules. :) as I don't want to see MI6 get into any
    trouble.

    Gripe away all you want. Not a new rule and you agreed when you joined. Your choice to stay or go, as it always is. Hope people stay, of course. This is not a rule exclusive to this forum, and I still find this to be a very enjoyable forum.

    Well ain't this cute. I feel like we just squashed one fly and now have to answer for it to PETA and the WWF.

    Now if our veteran members have something to say, I'm willing to listen and respond. I value their opinion, you see. But to have a newcomer like @Scaramanga12 drop a pretty big screen shot from DN in this forum as an obvious "ef you!" to the mod team, only to then rant in the comfort zone of the Wiz's shadow and subsequently run off to momma, that's just laughable. Luckily I'm dealing with this kind of behaviour professionally on a daily basis and can store it under some unflattering labels with a smirk.

    Come on, children, play time's over. We've all given our two cents on the matter, let us go back to important issues now. Next time I need to post an announcement I'll check with all sorts of committees and organisations just to make sure I don't step on any sensitive tails any more. I'll have a team of lawyers examine every word in every sentence just to make sure I leave no delicate stone unturned. I thought we were reasonable adults here; instead I have to fight off chess computers who process every sentence in every conceivable context for a possible double meaning hidden between the lines. This is worse than those hyperfundamentalist groups in the Bible Belt playing Metallica songs in reverse because they suspect the band has strategically positioned some Satanic verses in there.

    We're asking for no blatant copying of EON material in our posts - we're not asking for a kidney or your first born - and suddenly the mods are on EON's payroll. I'm frankly surprised no-one's used the word 'fascist' yet. This mod team has been exceptionally tolerant to all sorts of mild violations of the terms and conditions of this forum for years now. Fascists? Come on, we're anything but. We're tough on spammers but pretty soft on everyone else. Now we politely ask to be post links instead of the real thing and people start blowing smoke up our hoo-ha as if we just started WWIII.

    If @Scaramanga12 feels the need to leave over this little issue, fine. I'm sure there are better places to go to for someone who feels like we just committed a heinous crime by removing the [img]tags from his wordless post. We haven't forgotten the 2011 exodus, when people jumped ship only to crawl aboard another one but swiftly returned "just to say hi" and never left... Another case of "let's over-exaggerate to pass some spare time". I clearly put humanity through a global crisis with my post. I'm glad Earth's axis wasn't tilted an extra 30° by the worldwide shock my infamous post caused. :D[/img]
