I am not a moderator, just a simple poster. So what I say has no force of "law". I am reproducing a variation of Webby's guidelines (that he says were blatently stolen from Sleeve) from the Survivor Spoiling/Speculation forum because I think they are useful guidelines that make this community more enjoyable for all."I'd like to remind everyone that this is a threaded community. The board features allow us to keep related information under the same heading. While we allow our members to start any threads that they want, we ask that your thread contribute in some way to the effort of the board. In other words, if you wish to comment on a subject addressed in another thread, do it in that thread. If you have something new to share, a new thread is appropriate.
"There is a lot of leeway on this, because it's hard to define what should be considered "related" and what should be considered "new" (since really every thread is striving to spoil the same aspects of the show)... obvious violations will be taken care of at the moderators' discretion, but our overall goal is to have fun.
"Additionally, it should be noted that we have forums for fanatics (praising the contestants) and bashers (making fun of the contestants). There's a lot of fun to be had in this forum ... Since these forums are readily available, if your post has nothing to do with spoiling the show, you should consider posting it in one of those two locations.
"SB has traditionally been a community with minimal flaming and minimal policing by the moderators. The basic guideline should be to respect the members of the community and to try to spoil the show. If everyone strives for this, we'll have no problems at all in the coming season.
"If anyone has any questions/comments about these guidelines, feel free to post to this thread... we're open to suggestions... this is just how it's worked in the past... Also, if you think I left anything out that our new members should be aware of, add it!!!"
