That's complete bullshite. We do it all the time on this board with shows that aren't based on previously created properties.
This is, first and foremost, a TV and movie board. We are people that watch and enjoy discussing TV shows. That means if you want to discuss something from a different medium, it should be clearly labeled as such.
It's not a very difficult concept to wrap your head around.

So playing stupid is preferable? Again even walking dead fansites don't have that sort of rule. Discussing what will happen usually means in reflection of the adapted work.

What the frick are you talking about? Different people have different interests. A lot of the people that watch the show on this board don't read the books. The only one that looks stupid here is the one that can't grasp a simple concept.

Then post on those boards. We don't care what their rules are. We've told you what the rules are here. That they are different is immaterial.

Not in the non-reader threads.

There is nothing posted non-reader. It's the same concept as "you didn't say the magic word".

So now you're just flat out lying about the things you've posted in this thread?

?? There is nothing in Coon's OP marked non-reader. Again I didn't post a friggin spoiler. I don't think posting a direct spoiler for the show in any thread would be cool. But don't pretend like Coon marked the thread specifically non-reader.

Because this isn't a fricking comic book board.
You are fricking insufferable. You were wrong. It was pointed out. You got pissy about it.
Just stop being so fricking terrible.

How was I wrong? I didn't post a spoiler. A spoiler isn't whatever you want it to be.

Did you see what I posted it wasn't a "spoiler" it was speculation.
I didn't see it, but if it's speculation based on shite from the comics, then keep that in its intended threads. It's really not difficult to grasp. I realize you're new here, but that's how things are on this board, and they're like that for a reason.
This show and GoT are fricking horrible with readers "speculating" on shite and ruining shite for nonreaders.
Also, it has absolutely nothing to do with you being a Bama fan. Very few people give a frick about that on the M/TV Board.

Why do you keep arguing about spoilers when we told you what you did wrong?
You posted reader info in a non-reader thread. I've said this very plainly multiple times.
It doesn't matter if some people consider that a spoiler or they don't. It's against the rules and you did it.

The show and the comic are such different entities now that it seems like a dumb rule brought about by intellectual laziness. Posting something specifically from the production of the TV show is a spoiler and no one should do that, just randomly posting speculation based on a guys name is not.
You can't discuss what is going to possibly happen with any accuracy without at least a knowledge of the source material. Because despite changes it is often the answer to peoples complaints especially concerning plot, pacing, character motivation etc. Instead without any knowledge of the comic you get 100 questions about why they are at a prison, why there are no zombie animals, etc. It gets boring and repetitive.
Which has been my point the whole time, no one should post spoilers in these threads but I didn't. But at the same time if its not marked spoiler free then no one should gripe.
This argument would only hold water if the show was completely and ultimately separate from the comics. And it's not...not even close actually. Just because the show is not following the comics religiously to the point of exact scenarios obviously doesn't mean that the latter isn't source material. And you, having knowledge of that source material, aren't simply making blind guesses on what you think will happen...you're making them based on your knowledge of what happens in the comics. And because of that, you can potentially ruin some things for people who would rather just ingest TWD solely from the TV show perspective.
Again, this isn't rocket surgery...and as usual, the few readers who can't control themselves frick things up for the rest of the readers who are intelligent and considerate enough to know what not to discuss with nonreaders.

I love how nonreader is a point to be proud of. If you like the walking dead or game of thrones how hard is it to pick up a book? It should be common sense that with an adapted work people are going to discuss the differences between the two mediums.

But Coco, you know we only watch TV because we're illiterate or too embarrassed to let people know we read comic books.

What the frick are you talking about? It has nothing to do with pride. You serious, Clark?

It's not hard at all. And if I wanted to read the comic at all, I would. But simply put, I don't. And neither do a lot of other people around here who would rather just watch a show and enjoy it via that medium (television).
Yet you take the stance that people who choose to only watch the show are "stupid" or "don't like reading" or whatever else arrogant frickstick approach you can manage to conjure up. Some people (like myself) simply like watching TV shows and aren't interested in reading comics...and it has nothing to do with being "too cool" or "not liking to read." But don't let that logic destroy your uber-arrogant-dick persona around here.
So let me ask you this...do you read every single book that any movie/TV show you've ever seen is based upon? Your answer better fricking be "yes," or else you're an annoyingly terrible hypocrite who can go frick himself.

This isn't a TWD fansite. It's TD.com. And maybe things are done differently than some of the TWD fansites. So either you're gonna have to accept that, or feel free to discuss the show on those other sites. However, if you would like to discuss it here then you'll have to abide by the way this place is.

FWIW, this is one thing I'll agree with you on...normally there are separate threads for readers and nonreaders to discuss the show.
They should/will be marked from here forward to avoid any confusion.

No, it isn't. It should be common sense that some people choose not to read and don't want things spoiled of, speculated from, or compared to the literature. If you would just stop and think for a minute, you seem smart enough to grasp this.
ETA: IMO, you are too focused on the fact that you didn't post a spoiler, but you did, in fact, post a comparison that could lead to a potential spoiler.

Fair enough. It wasn't marked and I posted something. If its marked non-readers I won't post anything resembling speculation just reaction to the episode itself.

That's what is so frustrating/funny about this...he's clearly an intelligent dude, yet he's being intentionally stubborn/stupid about this; even after it's been explained to him ad nauseam.
