well, we agree on part of this, anyhow, michel I agree that promos should not be spoilers, but as I learned with LOST and I think you saw as well, some fans turn off the TV before seeing the "next week." How they avoid ads during the week I don't know, but the far end of Fanatics spectrum could be promo-free. I'm not sure; I've never posted there other than this little bit this season.
As far as I know, there is no 1 thread 1 spoiler rule of thump on Blows. That is a Sucks guideline. The rule here is not to duplicate topics, and the practice has evolved into minimizing the number of discussions while still having separate topics for media, print teasers, vidcaps, SOTS, votes, ECST, and topics that don't fit under the umbrella of the episode topics.
I would think you would know this, as you post at Sucks, but the one spoiler one topic rule isn't to prevent info from bleeding over. Not at all, and there is plenty of cross-discussion and comparison of spoilers.
The rule is for any person who claims to have a legit spoiler, to man up and start a topic, and to risk getting the topic locked and the poster banned if it is bogus. It is also a courtesy to other people with their own topics of their own spoilers, not to horn in on their place in the sun. The rule has absolutely nothing to do with protecting people from seeing information. There is no protection in Spoilers there, and until Veruca's topic came along, there was never any protection here.
>>> Too bad that discipline gets equated to effort or that winning a game becomes more important than respecting your neighbour.
I never said that. You are misinterpreting me.
btw, I do respect my unspoiled neighbors. Those would be the other forums, Bashers and Fanatics. I have never shown any lack of discipline and spoiled those forums. I object to the no spoilers in Spoilers Forum on principle. Look at the guidelines on suitable content for this forum.
But I don't think you need to, because you know as well I do what they say.
