I wanted to do something a little fun and a little unconventional. This happened in The Official BIONICLE 2016 Leak Topic. It’s also why we have a certain new rule now. Just in case you were wondering.
(Note: For the record, topics like these can only be made by cast members to point out notable exchanges in the community. I do not want to see an influx of topics with gifs over a post you thought was funny. That would get too out of hand too quickly.)
Context
It started by this post, by a member claiming to have some Bionicle 2016 leaks.
Despite the masterful artwork seen on the box, some members doubted its validity.
(Strong remorse felt from MiraculousPrime)
But they all underestimated ToxicMocs, master of Google-Fu.
It was sure nice of him to compliment the MOCist.
But then, alas! The unbelievers came!
Oh, close call! Phew. Guess he completely defused that situtatio-
It begins.

The Trial
[quote=“IllustriousVar, post:330, topic:9971, full:true”]
Nope, that’s not how it works. You tried to use our site to spread fake leaks an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of our members. For what purpose? I have no clue, but it will not be tolerated. [/quote]

Your blatant disregard for our board members is one thing, but your silly attempt to lie to me when you were caught in the act shows a hilarious disrespect for this sites staff.And let’s not even try to forget your attempts to villainize me and play victim in this childish game you were trying to pull. Perhaps you need a refresher on the rules of our boards: http://board.ttvpodcast.com/t/behavioral-rules/94
And from now on, let’s make this a lesson to all members:
The creation of fake leaks is completely outlawed. [/quote]
(That was so awesome, it deserved to be upscaled to HD)
This is both douchey and hilarious at the same time.
Good thing that only the cast members can do this.
Also Var must be a detective or something. I wouldn’t even try to look into that.
I will never understand why people make fake leaks. Well… I guess I can, to troll people, but still, really? It’s not cool. Glad he was called out, hopefully he’ll learn not to do that again. And then there’s this gif-comic, which is awesome-sauce.
I am equally excited that I’m the judge. Mainly because we did a “mock trial” in Social Studies class when learning about the Judicial system, and I was the judge, and #I GET A HAMMER!
Well, gavel, but whatever.
Nice to make light of an incident, though worried it may be taken the wrong way.
With so many people making fake leaks and posting them on the boards in topics, it seems more like a reminder is necessary than a shame topic - no matter how hilarious that topic might be.
