Just a draft for now (until this message gets edited otherwise) - We encourage discussion of the show, but since we're all at different times, please note the episode # in your subejct. Also, Please don't give away surprises in the subect line.
- Add SPOLIERS to the subject isn't tied down to the latest episode, and has to do with a major revelation (this might be the real history, or some other general discussion)
- talking about behind the scenes stuff, especially the actors (such as what shows they've previously been in) is totally legitimate
- You can feel free to promote Gatheirngs or fan page web sites, but please don't sell us Viagra, diets, etc. through your message (but a one-line hyperlink in your .sig is no big deal)
Also, general rules of niceness apply. Your messages should be reflective of the quality of the show we're watching together. Hope this helps! --jp--

I have looked over the board and decided that galacticchick's excellent warnings shall be added to the "Board Guidelines" thread. They are as follows:
"...rudeness and the choice of crude guestnames will NOT be tolerated.
Check your bad mood "at the door" or don't bother to post at all. We will NOT have our little community ruined by a couple of bad seeds.
I'm not saying you can't argue your point, but if you are talented enough to turn on a computer, find this forum, and type up your thoughts, then you are intelligent enough to get your point across in a civilized, non-offensive manner. If you insist, you will be banned."
Please read below for a message from me.

First, Paintballphil, I eliminated your little joke (it was amusing) from this thread because it is for the moderators. I am also locking this thread, but moderators can open it up for changes.
Second, I looked over the board and found that the person who was posting under ugly guest names did so last in October. I believe that person was blocked from the boards in November. I eliminated those posts, and will continue to look for such postings and get rid of them. If I miss one, let me know (PM me!).
Third, I'm sorry that some of you have been offended by posts to this forum. However, although some of the posts have been, shall we say, roughly stated, I have not seen any that were actually obscene (besides the October ones). Please try not to be so sensitive. People communicate in different ways.
HOWEVER. Some of our posters are a little disappointed in the action being offered. We can sympathize, but people are enjoying the show for other reasons; please don't abuse them for that.
At least one person is stepping over the line with spoilers; stop that immediately or you'll have a problem. I'm not joking. The way to post a spoiler is to open up a separate thread and put the word "SPOILER" in the subject line. Do that. From JP you can also mention the Episode # (like "ep.40") in the subject line, and that can help us avoid that message until the rest of us catch up. Don't tel us any action that can surprise us in the subject line.
Please do not threaten each other physically, such as offering to punch one another, whatever the provocation. Please try to write in a civilized tone. If you cannot distinguish what that is, I will point it out to you.
