No More Teasers in 2007?

Perhaps it would be better to put the teasers in FIRSTr, while "teasers" that show the beginnings of the robot, in CD.

Yep thats what I suggested in the FIRSTr thread. I think that would be a good solution.

Often the silly teasers are due to new people who are very overwhelmed by the excitement of the build season and reading all of the attention lavished on the elites.
People live for acceptance from their peers and want them and their team to have the same acceptance lavished on their team as well. Even if it's something that isn't all that revoloutinary. It's something they've never done before so it's special to them just not to the rest of the FIRST community.
I don't see how anyone is really going to control the "dumb teasers" without alienating people who are going to feel persecuted and censored. ]
The main use of Chiefdelphi is self expression of what FIRST means to you. Sometimes they are not good choices and are met with indifference to outright anger and dissaproval. It would be nice to protect people from their bad choices but not really feasable.
Dumb teasers are still going to happen whether we like them or not. Let's not turn it into a Federal case and make CD a miserable place for the overenthusiatic who's only crime was just not knowing better.
