re: Game of Thrones Season 3 Episode 2: Dark Wings, Dark Words - NO SPOILERS thread

In the interests of peace, check out my plan from the Iron Throne thread. It could, in theory, help at least some.

I appreciate your proposed solution, but such a thread may as well be the book reader thread. There is no "middle ground" when it comes to revealing information that relates to a linear storyline. One book spoiler, and it instantly becomes "Book Reader Thread 2.0."

my solution is this:

HEAR YE. HEAR YE, WOULD BE SPOILER ALTERS. I WILL BE STARTING A THREAD ON THE HELP BOARD THIS SUNDAY, TELLING ADMINS THAT IF THEY WANT TO GO ALTER HUNTING (which I hear is one of Chicken's favorite hobbies), THEY SHOULD MONITOR THE GAME OF THRONES NO SPOILERS THREAD.

Now, this might have the effect of scaring the alters (at least those who have only one alter) away from the thread, which would prevent admins from seeking and destroying them, but I'd rather that than have even one of them drop a spoiler in the thread.

It's like trolling or punning - a low form of humor that anyone can do. And that concept has TD.com written all over it. As such, it's only a matter of time until some a-hole posts a major spoiler in one of the TV threads. People have done so already. Eventually, people will stay out of the threads altogether.

Not great for the better interests of this site, low movie board traffic notwithstanding.

Ergo, game on, alters.
