    The book is coming out in less than 2 weeks, and not everyone will be buying it at the same time or read it at the same rate, so, just to be sure noone gets spoiled by accidentially going into a thread with a spoiler warning in the title, even though they don't want to be spoiled, we better start a whole new forum for it.

    yes, your right. DJ rebel stand and the next book are set at the same time. the idea of a forum is too large. I think just having a few threads (spoiler and nonspoiler) is a better idea.

    of my 5200 + posts (plus 800 lost in the move ...) probably 60% of them are in the Lit forum, yet I'm always being called a troll or movie-purist ?[face_plain]

    You started it because of the AOTC. You're having a dig at some people. So you're trolling. Time and posts doesnt matter.

    Yet, he has a valid point. As we've seen with SbS, someone can be just as easily spoiled really bad by novel spoilers than they can by movie spoilers.

    The media of the final product is independent of the issue of spoilers.

    And, calling someone a tr011 who has a valid, on-topic point can be considered tr011ing in itself. :D

    Actually, Val's been calling me a troll and movie-purist for months now :D

    And this thread isn't trolling, it's ... a political satire :p

    Hey dude, I'm just trying to point out how stupid it is to not allow spoilers here for one thing, but to allow them for another.

    When Rebecca191 gets the book early (and she will ...) and she posts a thread about it, with a spoiler warning in the title, will it be locked? No.

    If I read the AotC book before someone sees the movie and post a thread about it, will it be locked? Yes.

    Total double standard.

    I'm having this conversation in too many threads ... I'm starting to get confused about what I say to who, and where I say it :D

    Yes, well I forgot my little winky smile. ;) :)

    I called him a tr011 for using the current AOTC issue, creating a separate AOTC-EU spoiler forum, and taking it to its most idiotic extreme -- creating a forum for every book.

    This thread is just a troll thread. It is not serious. ;)

    Hence starting a thread that can cause arguments, hence trolling. Want a spade to help you dig yourself a deeper hole?

    When it isnt debate arguing, yes. There is no reason for this, is there?

    It will minimize what happened with SbS from happening to Rebel Stand. (Or any other novel).

    The media doesn't matter.

    If people are worried about spoilers and one way to minimize it from happening is to add a spoiler forum, then it's rational to begin discussing the need for such a forum for a book which will be released soon.
