No More Teasers in 2007?

[Cody Carey]

I think we should let the teasers be!

I get more enjoyment out of looking at a teaser picture that is partial or vague than I do looking at a post or thread which complains about them, or seeing the thousands of identical racks that FIRST teams have made. Teasers are are different. They are a break from the monotony of usual CD discussion. You show me 24 sprockets, and I can exercise my brain by trying to figure out what they are for.

The 100kb that it takes for a teaser picture really isn't going to hurt the CD server, as that is what it was designed for... hosting lots and lots of pictures.

If the moderators thought it was good enough to post, then I think we all should.

Just because somebody is excited about something and posts it (even if it's just a teaser) doesn't mean that they're boasting. Couldn't they just be proud? Is that something we want to discourage?

This is important to remember. CD-Media is not as free as the forums... pictures require approval before being posted. If the moderators are being overwhelmed with bad pictures, then that's the time to plea to the community. (This was what Madison was trying to head off, I think.) If you are offended by the quality of the pictures that are actually showing up on CD-Media, then it's probably something that you should take up in private with the moderators.

I thought I would resurrect this thread as it is pertinent.
I just saw a piece of aluminum with 2 holes drilled in it and 36" written on it. Whoever it was, don't take offense, I just mean it to constructive critisism. If you do, I appoligize.
All these teasers must be approved by the moderators and they have a lot work to do on this site
Please see post #1 for good and bad examples.
I like teasers too but PLEASE make them interesting or funny

Since teaser pictures have already started to pop up, I thought I bring back this thread yet again.
There are many good examples and points brought up here that are still valid.
Happy build season!

Meh, I'll just go with the same policy I've always had with teasers and continue to ignore them.
They can get back to me when you have something I'm actually interested in: a working robot.
