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."

71. "IMPOSSIBLE"
I've read the vast majority of the posts in the topics on this issue, and I think if we're trying to reach consensus or compromise we're trying to do the impossible. I've been on various forums for the last 10 years and change, and trust me when I say that most of the time when issues on how the forums are run come up, it is almost universally impossible to find a solution that everybody can live with, and what usually happens is that the posters who are unhappiest with the "solution" leave, some of them being among the popular posters, then those who stayed get unhappy because some of their favorite posters are gone, and the activity level drops and the forum is a lot less fun. Yes, the missyae-type spoilers of these last 3 seasons have changed this forum, but the rules have been the same for so long that people have gotten used to them and some people aren't going to accept any big changes. You're going to have unhappy people no matter what you do or don't do, and I think in the long run it would cause the fewest posters to leave if things were left as is except that topics can be labeled where appropriate. But making people walk on eggshells when they're doing something that is supposed to be fun is no solution at all.
