Yeah, as mentioned on the previous page, when uploading official previews, don’t source them to 4chan or EQD or whatever other 3rd party is rehosting them. Use the comicsalliance or itunes link or whoever else is the primary host. Don’t directly link to the JPG file itself either. Just link the preview article itself. You should also tag them as idw advertisement

It’s come up elsewhere, but I’m re-posting it here and in a couple of other threads as well, because I see it far too often in these discussions:
 
@Archonix  
RIGHT
Official moderator statement:
The mere fact that someone holds an opinion different to yours on any part of this franchise is not in any way an excuse to dismiss them with insults like “hater” or “hasdrone” or whatever else you kids might want to come up with.
The fact is, people like different things. People have valid criticisms of the things that they like. People have objective reasons for liking or disliking a thing.
This constant insistence on framing everything as 100% hate if it isn’t 100% adoration is driving me absolutely batty - all it does is foment conflict.
People are allowed to not like something.
If the insulting language continues, I’m going to be handing out bans.

@Archonix  
Does insulting IDW staff and making up stories about them “hating bronies” count as “fomenting conflict”?
 
I’m only asking because sometimes it seems like rule 0 isn’t enforced if the target of insults (or even libel sometimes) doesn’t have an on-site presence.

Case by case.
 
However, if I wanted to say something like:

“This person is one of the main writers on the series,” I can’t be accused of libel. Not that I think people like this really deserve any sort of defense or fairness though.

What a vile human being. Who goes to a convention for a children’s show promising to physically assault someone over words? This trash just admitted he’d punch a 3 year old girl for saying the wrong words to him.
 
Filth.

Coward lying filth. What kind of a nepotistic, lackadaisical fool would hire someone that admits wanting to harm people over words to write children’s comics?
 
Bobby Curnow, that’s who.

@The Smiling Pony  
I think he has a “creators need to be allowed to do what they want” idea to the degree that they can do nothing wrong. I remember one time someone pointed out the illegal nature of Fosgitt’s use of clipart and he said it wasn’t his job. How is it not the editor’s job to make sure copyright law isn’t broken by the people he hires?
 
I’m pretty sure Bobby half-asses it as much as he can so he can stay on the Hasbro franchise he really likes.

Funny how death threats on the web are mostly dismissed as non-credible and countered with a ban but a guy makes a “someone’s getting a knuckle sandwich” type joke and it’s a grave injustice. Give it a rest already.
 
I’ve said things like this in person. “Next person who bugs me about X is getting a pop in the chops.” This is an incredibly common expression in America. Nobody takes it seriously, nor should they. Except people on the internet with an agenda.
 
My own mother has said this to my brother and I when we were misbehaving as kids, for christ’s sake.
