PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

25. "RE: The Thread to Restore Sanity"
Ah, on that we agree, OFG. Only my viewpoint is that if I can't see my favorite features in source-spoiler free format, I would just leave. Banishment to a single thread does not make for an interesting forum and certainly does not engage one in the community.
If we were to turn it around and say that source spoilers would only be allowed in one segregated thread and all the other fine features here -- vidcaps, network clue/preview, insider transcripts, voting, blog review, day-after review and yes even SOTS had to remain free of source-spoilers -- I think that would probably not work for a segment of the population here.
Similarly, having to stay penned up in just one thread does not work for a different segment of the population here.
I'm working on the assumption that we value both segments. I think we all do, yes?
Though it may be "clunky", the only way to serve both demographics is to have a number of duplicate topics or features of equal quality. Otherwise, it's sort of like saying, "you can't have what you want in my forum, and you can't have it in yours, either." If the group is not willing to tolerate some duplication -- which could really be segregated into a separate speculation section for organization and clarity -- we are essentially choosing to say goodbye to one or the other segments of our community. I don't put it that way to be combative. It just seems like simple logic to me.
