I'll never understand why people who have read the books simply can't stay out of these threads. It's just like the Walking Dead threads where people can't NOT post things that they know.

If you've read the source material, you're playing on a completely different level than someone who hasn't. Anything you assume about the show is more than likely, at least in some part, based on your knowledge of the books. So why can't people just stay in threads where they belong and their information is relevant? The answer is just because that makes too much fricking sense and would be too easy. Also, some readers (not all, but some for sure) simply like to show off their knowledge or brag that they know what is going on or what is about to happen. It's fricking sad that they can't stick to the book threads for that discussion. And this TN fig demanding apologies or threatening spoilers..that shite has got to go. TN, I'm told you're suspended, and likely will be for a while. So feel free to read this and go frick yourself.

I'll read the non-book reader threads just to see what kind of theories they come up, but I usually don't comment very much about anything.

it's really not hard to not spoil things and ruin it for other ppl while still discussing certain aspects of the show, but people are stupid.

It's fun to see other folks theories on stuff and see their reactions. It's similar to having friends read book series and see them react to thing the same way you did, or differently as the case may be.

Also some book readers get way too pissy over changes and it's way more fun to discuss things with folks coming to it fresh.

But I agree that folks need to GTFO with spoilers and discussing future seasons in here. Clarifying a question asked based on info that is known in the tv series is one thing, but giving forward knowledge to answer questions is quite another.

And being a dick like TN Bhoy is just straight up BS.

It's pretty sad particularly since the first seasons thread went really well and pretty much spoiler free. I guess the success of the first season just led to so many more readers that we had a number of spoilerish retards pop up.
