I think you might have been misled. I looked into the situation and Matt deleted his accounts before anyone tagged the Japanese producers. The person who tagged them also did not leak it themselves.
And even if that were true, it's incredibly hypocritical as there are still catalog leaks on this website. And it has watermarks with people's names on them but still not taken down. https://www.tokunation.com/forums/sh...postcount=1025 See those characters on the on the watermarks? That's an employee's name. Yet it's still up. And honestly this is something that you should take up with the moderators directly. |

They had absolutely no problem publicly censoring my post without a single bit of messaging on their part. So not only do they follow the thread but if they have a problem with my criticism of their actions they are free to talk about it publicly as well.

The issue with the leaks, from my perspective (which I doubt you'll care about, but oh well), is that they were targeted at Matt Hunt specifically, and a lot of people have respect for him, including me. Even though he had me blocked on Twitter for unknown reasons. *shrugs* At the end of the day, they made a call and went with it. You can either accept it or keep ranting. The choice is ultimately up to you and it's your energy to waste. *tips hat* Have a nice day/night.

As someone who is friends with a few of the mods, I can assure you that they do have rather busy lives. And that they were probably monitoring the site when the leaks happened in order to take them down. But what MKD said is true, if you have an issue with their decision, take up with them in the DMs. Or you can wait patiently for them to have some free time to check out things again. Or perhaps they'll simply just let you rant yourself tired of the subject.
Here's the infraction I received: Quote:
Dear gllgt,
You have received an infraction at TokuNation. Reason: Infraction Level 2 ------- 6. No Public Discussion On Staff Actions If you have an issue with a decision a Moderator, Super Moderator, or Administrator has made, please contact another Moderator, Super Moderator, or Administrator to get it resolved. It does not need to be shared on these forums. 12. Keep Off-Site Drama Off This Site Whatever feud or issues that you may have with a person at another website needs to be left at that website. As some other forum members have said, the mods are especially busy with our private lives during this holiday season. If you have an issue with what another mod does, you can feel free to message any of us instead of posting on the forum itself that you?re upset or find any issues they have as hypocritical In regards to the Matt Hunt leak situation, we?ve chosen not to post those leaks out of respect for his wishes. https://www.tokunation.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=92 My post has nothing to do with off site drama. --- Infraction on Rule 6. I have actively chosen to ignore this because what happened was at best self interest on part of the admins on the site or at worst xenophobia on their part. And the only way I've even got this kind of response was by talking about this publicly. On its face, their reasoning for censoring the leaks, "We havs been asked not to share watermarked catalog leaks." was untrue. As evidenced time and time again. Leaks have been tolerated on this site and continue to be tolerated. https://www.tokunation.com/forums/sh...postcount=1025 "In regards to the Matt Hunt leak situation, we?ve chosen not to post those leaks out of respect for his wishes." So Matt Hunt's wishes get preferential treatment because they are either friends with mod staff or someone is a big fan of them. The original reasoning makes it sound like staff was in trouble with Bandai or Toei but in reality it's just cause Matt doesn't like it. Why are his wishes so important? The reason I continually bring up the other leaks is because other people's names are also on them. They too can also receive harsh ramifications for them leaking. Why aren't they being protected like Matt? Is it cause they're Japanese? All the staff are English speaking Westerners so the concerns of Japanese employees do not matter to them. This is indicative of the greater Western Toku fandom. From big wigs like the former Power Rangers showrunner mocking Japanese filmmaking all the way down to social media ecelebs showing complete lack of empathy for the plight of Japanese employees who are harmed when they recklessly throw around leaks within their social circles. It's an important issue that deserves to be called out publicly and not ignored and hidden away behind private messages. Even you, the person I'm responding to, is incredibly concerned with Matt's plight and on board with their actions, Quote:

We have chosen to NOT allow sharing of the leaked images of the BoonBoomger suits/mecha. The sharing of the images look (on the surface) to be targeted harassment at the individual who first shared them out. We are not going to get caught up in that and will wait for non-personalized, non-watermarked images before sharing them.
That's it. That's our reason. It's time to move on from all the other conversation around it. We appreciate everyone respecting our decision. Thanks.

I really love the crazy designs of Boonboomger. Their designs are so unexpected and very unique.
The Boonboomger robot is very awesome and reminds me of Kyoryuzin Brave and PatKaiser. |

So far, I'm not a fan of the mecha designs. From the leaked images, I think they're mediocre at best.
The suit designs are so weird it's good, especially the helmets. It's the kind of weird you see in a Super Sentai parody for prime time TV ads for Good Year, Bridgestone, or Enkei. The suits are more traditional, in the sense that they have no armors, unlike the last 3 seasons. I wonder if the face wheel does spin, haha. |
