You know, I really hate it when someone just takes a thread and merges it with another just because it is on the same subject. Why can't it just be left alone? Who cares if there's more than one? Geez! Some people are awfully picky! Regardless of the "thread ettiquette" we can create threads on anything we want. It's called freedom of expression! And if so and so don't like it, then they don't have to waste time replying to it or merging it! This thread was about opinions, not the poll. At least people should be required to ask the original creator of a thread for permission to merge it, after explaining why it would be a better idea. It's called showing respect.

It was the same question though.

Tangled VS Frozen, what do you prefer.

Doesn't matter. The point is the lack of respect at not asking or even notifying. I feel it's a violation of the right to freedom of expression. And the question was not which do you prefer, but rather which is the better film in terms of story, strength, music, etc.

When I have an idea for a post, I don't want to waste time searching hundreds of pages to see if someone posted something similar. I want to post it right away before it slips my mind. But if a thread needs to be moved or merged, there should be a requirement to ask or at least notify the author beforehand with a reasonable explanation for the move (and a link to the earlier similar thread so it can be checked out). Just doing it like that is arbitrary and disrespectful.

The question can only be answered subjectively, based on one's individual opinions, which are informed by one's preferences.

And thread-merging in no way impinges on one's freedom of speech.

Methinks you need to get off your high horse. It's not that big of a deal.

Think so? Well, to me it is. Forums are suppossed to be a place where you can express yourself freely, and apparently they're not because people move your stuff around without even asksing you. And from what I saw on the Feedback forum, I'm definitely not the only one who is irked by this.

:lol: I would suggest you do a priority reevaluation on what's a big deal and what isn't, but you seem dead set in your ways, so I won't. Good luck with that.

if this were your forum, you could run it anyway you liked. It’s not. A mod made the decision that a poll thread asking for a vote between the two films was not dissimilar from a conversation about why one film could be considered better than the other. No one has prevented you from expressing yourself, either about the films *or* about the decision to merge the threads.

As for your point that
censoring or moving/merging/deleting your threads or posts in any way is totally in clear violation of your Constitutional right to freedom of expression!!!
...that's simply incorrect.

I don't see anything wrong with merging the threads, but I can understand why Angeldude might be upset at the same time, so there's no need to be brutal about it.

Frozen is one of those films I prefer on a personal level and I happen to think is better objectively as well. That was different with TP&TF, because although I preferred that film, I could see that--objectively--Tangled works better, overall, just because of the swamp part of TP&TF being pretty awful. I'm glad Tangled is no longer modern Disney's pinnacle.

Btw, when was Wreck-It Ralph forgotten anyway? It's just too bad Disney doesn't market their non-princess films anymore. Tangled made just about the same, so I'm assuming if the Disney Princess line didn't exist, it would also be forgotten? Curses.

Thank you Disney's Divinity! I appreciate that! Like I said, I'm not the only one that is bugged by this. I saw other upset posts in the Feedback forum regarding this same issue. Some people here are just WAY too rude. And mods or no mods, I still believe threads should not be moved without the consent of the authors of said threads. I'm not against moving or merging. I'm against it being done without my consent or input on the matter. At least Wikipedia gives you a suggestion that an article should be merged with another. Why can't the same thing be applied here and let the authors make that desicion?

I'll meet you halfway and say mods should inform a user that their post/ thread had been moved, but they don't necessarily need consent. Like on reddit, mods will inform you if a post has been deleted but they won't ask you to do so. It protects against spammers, so I've been told.

Aannnnd this is way off topic, so I'll shush up.

Oh, BTW, I like Frozen more than Tangled purely for the music; everything else balances out.

I would prefer to be asked for consent, but I guess I can live with that, as long as they at least give you a valid reason.

Anyway, I've voiced my belief on the matter and made it clear, so I'm done with this subject. Hopefully the administrators will listen to those of us that object to this practice in the way that it's currently done.

I've mention it before, but this topic made me think about it again; why must we compare these two films in particular? As they are the last two princess films?

I don't think any two films have been compared so much in Disney history.

Thank you, Atlantica. That's how I feel too. It's like trashing 'The Little Mermaid' with 'Beauty and the Beast'.

I believe there were similar threads when Tangled was released, pitting it against TP&TF. I think this only happens to princess films, because nobody compared WIR to Tangled.

I'm sure if the Internet had been more prominent, there would've been similar things happening between TLM, B&tB and Aladdin. And if the Internet had even existed then, Snow White versus Cinderella (they do have a lot in common).

As the moderator in question who did merge the threads, I was merely performing my duties and following the forum Rules & Guidelines, which all members agree to follow when they sign up for accounts here. The rules clearly state: #1: Before creating a new thread, you are encouraged and expected to first search for an existing thread on the same topic. If relevant, it may be better to add on to this existing thread than starting a new one. Duplicate threads add clutter.

I do admit that I neglected to leave any post alerting members of the merged threads. That was my fault, and I know next time to let members know. For that, I apologize.

HOWEVER, I do take umbrage with the belief that simply because a thought may escape someone, they need not search for a previous thread. We have a Search Option that is not too confusing to use. In the past, I've encouraged members to use it so that they need not create thread after thread after thread simply so that their fleeting thoughts may be gathered on the first page. We have rules here for a reason; they're meant to be followed, not flaunted off with claims for freedom of expression.

I would say more, but I'm about to go to Magic Kingdom to meet friends so we can ride the recently re-opened from refurb Splash Mountain.

Well, I appreciate that in the future you will alert us, though personally, I like the Wikipedia model better where they suggest that articles be merged and don't just do it on their own. As for the rest, I firmly stand for what I believe in and I have a right to express what I want to express without being rudely belittled by others.

I think it happened when quite alot of people mentioned that they preferred Tangled over Frozen.

boom

World War Modern Princess Disney

tbh, both of the movies are great and is it such a big deal if you prefer Tangled over Frozen or Frozen over Tangled ??
