Little-known rules, procedures and trivia from HTG Hollywood
"I Like/Love Ponies" is a seldom-used procedure from the days in Film-Mogul.
Movie and television advertisements for HTG projects are under the charge of the person running the ad. If someone "hijacks" the ad with their own post unrelated to the ad, or if it demeans the project advertised ("This movie will suck!"), the original poster can ask an admin to remove the offending post. That post can, of course, start its own thread, which will remain intact (unless it is truly offensive to the general public).
The original poster can also, for a small fee donated to a city project, have the offending message's text changed to something else. (It cannot, in itself, be offensive.) For example, FM operator Josh Nesi enjoyed changing an offensive message to "I like ponies." Other possibilities include "Wow, this movie will rock!" and "Have you had that new Big Kahuna burger? It's delicious!"
The key is to allow a person to advertise his movie or show in his own thread without interruption. Anything that you have to say negative about the project should appear in your own thread or even in an editorial in an HTG news source.
