Let me start by saying that I love that this website is available for us die hard 'Alien' franchise fans to discuss the latest news, spoilers, theories, etc... with that being said, I HONESTLY mean the following with all due respect toward prometheus-movie.com This is in regards to my topic entitled [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/4280]MAJOR SPOILER!!! ... BIG ONE! ... Not really cuz it's from TV Spot #9 on Public TELEVISION people![/url]... Obviously that's the amended title for by the host of this site... I apologize if anyone found this to be a [i]SPOILER[/i] , but this topic is not a spolier, why? ...Cuz I found it in the OFFICIAL TV Spot released today.... Also, I'm not the [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/4260#48965]FIRST one[/url] to have posted this "SPOILER" There is a HUGE problem with the standards set forth by this website.... This is not an official site for the movie, therefore always and will be FULL OF SPOILERS... That's why you're all here anyways....if not, then what did you think this fan site really was? I strongly suggest that HOSTS instead of focusing on all the cry babies crying about SPOILERS, they should enforce a code of conduct on the kinds of behavior and verbiage used toward other members of this site, especially ones who contribute day after day lots of information and discussions that help make this site a worth while daily visit for other visitors....and perhaps a HUGE DISCLAIMER should be made that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is potentially FULL OF SPOILERS....rather than let us loyal members take the ass end of what other people's misunderstanding of what this fan website ACTUALLY CONTAINS... And for the record, I would've posted the words SPOILER if I felt it really was a spoiler....but again, it wasn't because of it's source.

So when i will see the movie in France i will have the rights to ruin the surprise of everyone yelling spoilers all over the forum ?? and all in the thread title ? Just because i saw them in the real movie ?? You probably did find a great thing ( that just confirmed the leaked sheet of some days before ) but there was no need to yelling the spoiler all in the thread title . a Spoiler is giving anticipation of what will happen in the movie ( expecially important things ) not only if leaked but even from original material .

Hey Frantz....your point is well recieved.. BUT I didn't write the title.. The HOSTS OF this website changed it without my knowledge...My original title was "So....Did Anyone See David 8's Decapitated head?"... .....Also, I'm on the same playing field as the rest of y'all....I've yet to see the film, nor did I work on the film, nor do I have any inside information that anyone else has.... I simply saw a TV Spot for the movie today and posted a screenshot from that commercial....

OK OK OK, I'm gonna get this straight -the call sheet wasn't a spoiler? ....Got it -the official cast announcement wasn't a spoiler? ...Got It -all the the other people trying to piece together all the other official, non-official, and leaked info is not a spoiler? .... Got it But I just point something that's from the television commercial and I have to do 20th Century Fox's job? .... got it Every topic I write from now on will say just "[b]SPOILER[/b]" ......ridiculous

Nate if you just did write ( in the Title ) " Major Spoiler concerning david " or " Major spoiler in the last TV commercial ( david )" there would have been no problems at all . We have just to be a bit sensitive to not destroy the surprise to people , expecially on important things . In the contact sheet and official cast announcement threads the spoiler was inside the thread , not in the title

aka Nate

MemberOvomorphMay-01-2012 11:01 PM
@Frantz.... irrelevant. It's an image and not the ending, twist, or a declaration of David's fate.... It's one image with absolute zero absolution to anything in the movie except for he's decapited at that particular scene....whenever it ends up being in the film.

Speculation is one thing, information that leaks facts about the film is spoiler, trailers are spoilers if you want to go in virgin, bit they are sanctioned by the studio so shouldn't be that important The call sheet is a spoiler if the source is potentially genuine..it should've been marked so The cast announcement today was spoiler as it clarified facts about the engineers that some may not wish to know The trying to piece together stuff is not spoiler and is why most people are on the boards to participate in I think the David 8 decapitation is spoiler because the source is genuine, and it is almost impossible to detect in the tv spot.because of the subtlety you should flag it. Now for two theories, either it's a fk up by Fox or it's misdirection by Fox knowing that boards can find needles in haystacks. I'm going with fkd up

It has been apparent here for months, that a few of the so-called mods are more hostile and aggressive towards others than some of the people they attack. Sexual innuendos, horrible moderating, blatant disregard towards others opinions and a small lack of decency and tact when handling issues. This is not directed towards all of them, just a few

JP, Ya, I take everything with a grain of salt... But how is it that the souce of David 8 is genuine.. I must have missed that...

OK, this is a forum and not a battlefield, in fact people have a right to express their views careful not to offend other people. But the big problem at this point by the fact that the susceptibility of some is greater than that of others (anger or tears from some erupts easily in my opinion)

I hope I'm not on that list Mizere... Also KnownAsNate.........the examples you site followed the rules.... -the call sheet wasn't a spoiler? Couldn't find a thread..... -the official cast announcement wasn't a spoiler? [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/4228]NEW Full Prometheus Credits List Contains Spoilers **WARNING**[/url] I'll reiterate...As a member of the staff, I feel obliged to make it clear what is expected on this site as it pertains to [i][b]possible[/b][/i] SPOILERS, SPOILAGE, etc.........In the event that any member discovers information that can and likely will be seen as a SPOILER by the majority of the forum and plans to post it, we would INSIST that the term SPOILER be included in the title of the thread and any pertinent information related to said SPOILER(S) be left out of the thread title.......This was a request BugHunter made of the forum a long while back....please oblige.... Look you're idea may not be what you said and then it wouldn't be a spoiler, but there's enough in that image to ask that you just not put the meat of it in the thread title...That's all...We didn't censor you...I didn't lock the thread or delete it...I didn't ban you....We're asking for small favors as a courtesy to others.....Honestly, I go into SPOILER titled threads I otherwise wouldn't so that I can do my job here...some of this stuff I WOULD NOT like to know and the only reason I do check it out is to comply with my responsibilities here...I wouldn't have wanted to see that pic, but I went in to do my job and did it....Sorry, I don't mean to get under your skin...just doin' what's been asked of me...

Yeah it sure would be cool if Fox noted this as a spoiler as well. Some people might consider it courteous.

MemberOvomorphMay-01-2012 11:26 PM
Craigamore, you are most definitely not one I am referring to...no worries there.

MemberOvomorphMay-01-2012 11:28 PM
Definitely the body of a member of the Prometheus and a 99% confidence I think is David. But the point is that David is not human, therefore can not die, maybe it can be repaired or continue to operate as Bishop or Ash

Okay... My goodness. Just dealt with some people on our facebook page who got upset about links we posted containing a SPOILER tag in the title and even a message saying "View at your own discretion"... So forgive me everyone if I come across as a bit annoyed. [b]#1 - SPOILERS[/b] A spoiler is as stated above anything that contains information that could potentially ruin the surprise basically. We don't want to force people to read info they want to avoid - thus we ask for you to put spoiler in the title of your thread and not to give away the content in short, in the title. Thus keeping the thread contents a mystery unless a user physically clicks the link. HOWEVER, as some people are saying "exploding david head", or "exploding SJ head", let me be very clear about this. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED NOR OFFICIAL. Fox has not released a press release stating "David's head explodes". This is a screen cap being interpreted by fans who study these trailers down to every detail. SO - that being said, this is just like all the other threads we have which speculate on the film. It is SPECULATION - not a spoiler. It is polite to add "potential spoiler" in the topic title or description, but not needed for s purely SPECULATION thread. Speculation is the pure reason we are all on here daily. To share thoughts and ideas. That's what a forum is. This isn't the official site. If you just want to go to a Prometheus website and stare at the same trailer over and over again and read a 2 paragraph film synopsis, then be my guest and spend your time on the official pages! But this site allows for fans, both young and old to express their ideas and questions which we have been pondering for decades! [b]#2 - SITE STAFF[/b] I am not normally moderating each thread that gets posted here. Too many are being posted daily and frankly, I'm busy ensuring this site runs as smoothly as possible and developing new ways to enhance the site so you all can continue to enjoy it well past the film's release. If you have an issue, or feel one of the staff on the site are not acting justly, or are abusing their right, then personal message or email me directly. Not other staff, but me. Any issue involving a staff member should be directed to me so that I may deal with it. No public bantering should take place - it's unprofessional. #3 - VISITING THIS SITE Can I guarantee you won't read a "spoiler" when browsing this site? absolutely not. Am I going to post a bright pink banner that says "THIS SITE CONTAINS SPOILERS"? Absolutely not. I have already stated and will once again that I will be taking the recent post feed down and replacing it with a notice indicating that these forums do contain potential spoilers and that viewing this site is your own choice and what you read is because of your own doing. I will be doing what I can to ensure the secrecy of this film as much as possible, but lets be real here guys. This is the internet. Good luck censoring everything. I am just as much a fan as all of you are. But this nonsense about spoilers and what's considered a spoiler and what can be posted and what can't is seriously driving me nuts! I love coming here, because all of you are genuinely cool people and I really enjoy reading what you all have to say! From the first couple weeks this site was online and Neurion joined up and posted essays it would seem on his Alien theories. I would sit and read that sh*t for hours. You guys are losing sight of what this website is about. It's for fans to get together, chat and share ideas and cool things they find. NOT to criticize or post hateful comments towards each other for having an IDEA. Lets get back to how it should be folks and stop getting upset over things that aren't that big of a deal. Do you have any idea how many secrets there still are left to be exposed come June 8th? (or 1st for some of you lucky ones) Ridley Scott is not stupid. He's playing these cards just to build up the hype for this film even further. So stop worrying that the film is ruined cause you saw one screen cap from a publicly release TEASER trailer. Instead, tear it apart! Analyse every detail, post your ideas freely! I'm leaving this thread open for more discussion, I want to ensure everyone here understands where I am coming from. But seriously guys, remember why you're here in the first place. To be a fan. So, no more angry posts, no more pissed off responses towards other members. Get along and enjoy this site for what it is! A wealth of information and ideas from people like you.

Oh my lord, please don't tell me after all of this you still feel justified to put your spoiler in the thread name?! After all your continued whining, you agree with JP that you should've not done so...don't you find that...odd and contradictory to what you're still fighting?

MemberOvomorphMay-01-2012 11:49 PM
@AlsoKnownAsNate: I totally back you up on this one and your frustration is more than understandable. We're not just here to get the latest news but to analyse, speculate and discuss inofficial news as well as topics off the beaten track. And they're coming in thick and fast... It's a forum, a fan site for christ's sake! Of course it is full of spoilers as they emerge on an hourly base by now, as we speak. And yours wasn't even one. They kept the 'leaked' call sheet online on purpose, neatly followed by a brand new TV Spot! That's what FOX wants, confuse people, mess with them! As the for the attitude, ignorance, arrogance and randomness around here, I also agree with you. I had moments where I thought I'm gonna leave this community shortly after I joined. But then I realised it's by far not the majority of people behaving like that on this site. Most of them are good people that have interesting and inspiring things to share. So please don't SPOIL it for us and yourself, by putting SPOILER in every subject, you are better than that my friend! Keep posting and commenting just as before, stay calm and don't let them get to you. Have a thick skin!! How was that for a pep talk? Ha-ha! Peace.
