I like the idea of keeping the unaired episodes in the spoiler thread until they come out on DVD in the U.S. That way, those that want to stay unspoiled, can.
And I'm all for the idea of not discussing or whitefonting the unaired eps in the spoiler thread until the Brits see them. It's only for a couple weeks, and I've been enjoying their enthusiasm so much!
Can someone check elena's deathmatch link in Press? Clicking the livelink tells me I am not authorised to edit that post.
Huh. I'll check it. But, edit the post?
Sigh, right clicked on the wrong button. Will fix it.
It does leave a bunch of people homeless, doesn't it?
Well, yes. I mean, I haven't been posting in FF for a while so I'm sure I won't be missed, but I do dislike being forced to stop reading a thread.
I'm with Rayne, et al.
If UKers discuss in the main FF thread, that leaves some of us without Firefly for 4-5 months. It seems like the best/easiest solution is to move them to Spoilers (I don't understand if there's a stigma attached to having to post in spoilers. If so, I understand that would change opinions). This solution has the added bonus of minimum discussion sub-grouping (post August).
I daresay Firefly is in a unique situation, so any solution is going to be hard to pin down and feel right for everyone.
It's seeming to me like the spoiler thread is the way to go. Since the eps are coming up so soon, it won't be a strange situation for long, and it does avoid having the main thread getting weird for several months.
If we do decide to go with the spoilers idea, I'd suggest a post in that thread announcing the details of what can and cannot be discussed and when, along with an announcement in Press and the main FF thread with links to that post. That way people who haven't seen all three can find their place without worrying about being spoiled by what came before.
Le Nubian, In Firefly:
BTW, the description for the thread is "spoilers for the current Firefly season. Anything goes."
That needs to be changed if there are limitations on discussion. I'm not trying to be difficult here, but I started reading this thread with one understanding, and it seems to me this understanding is being changed.
Apparently repeated explainations and imploring for this poster to check here and that we are not admins in Firefly spoilers have not been enough.
Could someone else address Le Nubian's issues as aparently I am inadequitely expressing that discussing the complaint in the thread with non-admins isn't going to change things.
In any way, I am apparently inadequite to the task of it all and will now go back to talking about the episode and leave the admining to those whom this person might acheive satisfaction regarding their concerns.
