@skotsboyuk
I understand your point. BUT how can we identify in the future what is a real rumour and what is a joke?
With this we should consider everything a big joke right?
@sharilon
Should we believe all your rumours or you are joking too?
I hope you understand my point. There is a very thin line between rumours and farces and that line could make Esato's reputation goes up or way down. |

I wouldn't say that having fun on other peoples interests to be a well-meant joke.
I just hope axxxr & Goldenface had a lot of fun in this, because to me, their reputation just went below the freezing point... |

You should treat any rumour with a pinch of salt unless it comes from Eldar, MR or rog in my opinion.
At the end of the day it was a joke, and whatever you may think of it it wasn't intended to upset people. It is up to you whether or not you trust someone to provide information. Look at the information they provide, and see if it comes true. Shaliron posts rumours that he hears in good faith, I see no reason to doubt his motives.

Yeah I understand, but we have to understand that the intent was not malicious. I wouldn't like this to hang over Esato for a long time.
The only way to restore the 'trustworthiness' of Esato would be for us to not start flaming each other, especially at this time of year. So they made a mistake; Esato will live with it. We can work together to make sure that Esato regains any lost trust and to move on.
So let's get back to being constructive again in the business of mobile news. We've still got a large reputation behind us which can hopefully support some lost trust.

The joke wasn't timed well, nor was it executed well, and arguably it was in bad taste. However, please let's remember that it was intended as a joke. I realise some of you may not be too chuffed, but at the end of the day it's not all that important really.
There are plenty of real rumours going around at the moment to keep us all interested. Let's focus on those, and look forward to some of the exciting things that will be coming out next year.

OK!
The info on the first post is a draft which I created from the K800i/W900i announcements.
I asked axxxr if it would be a good idea to post and he did.
Sorry to have let it go on so long but it was hard to stop. Many older members figured straight away and I presumed it would be immediately discredited - as it was posted in the General and not the Sony Ericsson or Rumours section.
Sorry for the deceit and I hope I haven't compromised the Boards reputation too much letting this farce go on so long.
I haven't spoken to axxxr yet, hopefully he will confirm the above.
Sorry guys!

I am not upset by it. Why should I be? It was just a joke.
I genuinely believe that neither axxxr or goldenface meant any ill will. For all that I might say about axxxr, I do know that he genuinely likes and cares about this forum, and I doubt he played this joke to upset its members. The same goes for goldenface.
Perhaps they simply didn't think it through? As I said, the timing was bad, the execution poor, and the subject matter arguably in bad taste. However, I don't think people should be too upset, it was a joke that went bad, but it was still a joke.

What was so difficult to post after 5 pages saying this was a made up story by yourselfs?? To say it was difficult to stop is a REALLY lame excuse. Fair enough it's a joke on us but you should ALL remember how the internet works and rumours fly around as this story is now on God knows how many sites, I know of 3 others at least!!!
Please in the future IF you are going to make up a rumour then stick it in the RUMOURS section as you said and not the general news section eh? |

What's the fuzz guys?
Sure I got disappointed, sure it was a bad joke, but hey did anyone die?
I missed the whole thing and noticed the thread when it was in page 17...
People sould have understood by then...
Also, all the flaming about axxxr & Goldenface, wtf is up with that?
They did a bad joke a prank, OK, no one is perfect, live with it!
Have you guys/girls NEVER done a prank in your life?
Are you perfect people 100% sure that what u do and say in life NEVER upset/disappoints others?
Stop the blody judging and flaming and remember wtf these two guys have done for you the past years!
Maybe we should all start getting upset about spypics and mockups now too? |

If as you say this was a joke, was this post made just to stir it up? I'm just curious as it would be nice of their was actually any truth in the rumour. |
