thelonius Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 It could be simliar to one of the Neighbours' forums I have come across where the confirmed spoilers are locked and stickied by the mods (similiar to how the weekly spoilers are at the moment) and people can choose to start their own discussions in whatever thread they decide to make. This is the way it is for Dan F's weekly spoilers anyway, but it could just be a spoiler thread for all storylines that are confirmed. So for example a 2009 confirmed spoiler could be a post that contains: "Jack is dead. *article scan/typed* Confirmed in TV Week", and this post is in the Confirmed Spoilers thread. Then having read that spoiler if users wanted to discuss it they would discuss it in either the Jack Spoilers Thread or start a specific one like "Jack dying". I hope that's not too confusing! I think brenton's idea is really good because the threads for 2009 are definitely messy! I'm all for combining the confirmed spoilers into one thread with no discussion but I'm wary of having a big discussion thread for 2009 spoilers because everyone would want to discuss different things.
lozlovesh&a Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah but if the spoiler thread is locked then only the mods can open it and they might not be the only ones who has spoilers if you know what i mean.
brenton_06 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 So this is what has been discussed is best 2009 Spoiler Section "Posts only" State the spoiler ie Jack Dead State the source ie TV WEEK State any information related to the spoiler BUT that's it, no disccussion on 2009 Spoiler Section "Posts Only" then if people want to go off and discuss it in the JM Spoilers, Adelle or Tachel or whatever people are free to do so Under the 2009 Spoiler Section "Posts Only" there can be an note that say "PLEASE NO DISCUSSION HERE, ONLY POST REAL SPOILERS HERE AND YOU MUST CONFIRM THE SOURCE"
Yankee White Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Okay 2 things: 1: MOD EDIT: SPOILERS REMOVED. 2: EDIT: Just found your other thread.
Traceve Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 That's a pretty good I've that you've come up with there. It'll be much easier to read the spoilers than reading through endless pages of speculation.
SummerBayLocal Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 I'm sorry but doesn't this idea kinda defeat the purpose of topic threads though? Then we would just have 2 threads?
Skykat Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Firstly I'm moving this thread to the suggestions forum because I think it's the right place for it. Secondly I have no problems with what you're proposing in theory. I will bring it up with the moderators and we'll get back to you, we do take your suggestions seriously. Feel free to continue to use this thread to discuss this but please do not use any actual spoilers in your examples. Thanks.
freakybuffy Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Is want you saying you only want 2 threads one for the spoilers and one too Discuss? I really don't like that idea. mind anythings better than how it is now. Maybe they could have a closed, pinned thread of all the confirmed spoilers. Then have threads for all confirmed and unconfirmed for members to dicuss in. Maybe make the tiltles something like this Ie. Jack dead unconfirmed Or Jack dead confirmed- source (i.e TvWeek) Once the spoiler has been confirmed then the spoiler can be posted in the pinned section by a mod, give credit to the poster and source and post a link to the dicuss thread incase members want to comment. Anyway just a thought.
Stephanie Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Maybe there should be a thread in the Important Topic section, like the Magazine thread, where the title could be Confirmed spoilers and underneath it could say no comments just spoilers...which would contain where the spoilers have been confirmed and the acutual spoilers themselves. Then people can just discuss them in the various threads that are already up. Say for example Rachel's pregnant as confirmed in TV Week would go in the confirmed spoilers thread then people can go wild and discuss in the Tony thread or Tachel thread. If that made any sense lol. lol, it made sense to me! I agree with you.
