I Hate to do This

Ok everyone, I am getting some complaints. Please, please, please use spoiler tags for anything upcomping regardless of where you post except for threads that specifically note that they contain spoilers. Episode threads do not require spoiler tags for information that appeared in an episode AFTER it aired, however, I specifically know of some people that do not watch the preview for next week, please do not post any information about those without spoiler tags. Also remeber that you shouldrefrain from posting spoilers in spoiler free threads.

Also, in reference to episode threads, remember that we are all in different areas, be kind to those who may have not seen the episode yet, if in doubt, use tags.

Oh as far as the preview thing, let me clear this up. If you want to discuss them, post them in the appropriate Episode thread. You don't need tags for them obviously, but keep them in their proper place. Remember, let's be considerate of others, it isn't much work to do that and most people are kept happy.

Will do.

Is that the first mod hat to be thrown in the history of our little sub-forum? I think it might be!

 

[BenAdam]

Yeah, I was itching to do it, you bunch of rabblerousers...

I like this idea. I don't get to watch the episode until Sunday so I try to avoid the forum from Thursday night to Sunday. If I knew talk about the episode would only be in one thread then I would be happy because it would mean I can join in discussions in other threads and not worry about having the episode spoilt.

I will admit to posting on an episode the same day I see it...however, by the time I see it, most of the other posters are asleep (or just getting up the next morning). I seek clarification here.

Well for example, an East coast individual sees the episode 6 hours prior to someone in Hawaii and someone in Oregon sees it 3 hours before someone in Hawaii. The East Coast person should refrain from overt spoilers until around 4 AM the next morning, the West coast individual should wait until around 1 AM. IOW, best to wait until next day. Conversely, someone in Hawaii would do best to avoid specific threads on airing day just in case.

Sounds good

Do we have anyone in Hawaii??

I tend to wait until the next morning to post anything myself - other than saying my pants flew off... hehe

Reactions are one thing, spoilers are another.

But not in episode-specific threads, right? Like, tomorrow night in the 4.08 thread, we can all talk openly as soon as we've seen the show because those threads are intended for open discussion. Right?

Just want to make sure I'm understanding. Are we clarifying the sticky, or are we changing it?

I think it is to remain spoilers until people such as you Snoochie (on the West coast) see it.

Clarification. In other words, be kind and think about others.

This is from the sticky we've been following:

2) Episode specific threads. Free discussion of the episode as soon as it airs, including previews.
But please, use tags for discussing anything beyond next week, or inside info on the previews, without tags.
Episode-specific threads should be labeled by season and episode number (example, 4.1 or 4-1 is for episode 1 of season 4) and a Lostie mod will edit the thread title with the episode name after the episode has aired.

Gotcha.

Like I said to clarify, discuss previews in the appropriate thread.

For instance, previews we saw on last weeks episode should be discussed in this weeks episode thread but without use of spoiler tags.

Got it. Thanks
