Let's try to keep this site a spoiler-free site.

Since Des' season will be beginning shortly, I wonder if this would be a good time to ask our members to try to keep this site a spoiler-free site. Just a thought. Thanks.

It has been spoiler free so far and I hope it stays that. I only posted some pictures of some of the guys on her show and have not commented on if or when any of them were still on the show or eliminated and have no intentions of doing so. If people want to know spoilers they know what sites they can go to to find them and I hope they do that and keep what they find out to themselves. I didn't post anything that should spoil the show for anyone and would hope no one else will either. BTW it's good to see you posting again and hope to see more of you! You have been missed!

If some people want to talk about spoilers such as RS stuff, perhaps we can have a separate sub-forum for spoilers. That is easy to create, if that is what people want.

Bach - as I said in my PM, I vote to keep this site spoiler-free. JMHO.

Bach I agree with newto, if anyone wants spoilers they can go to one of the other sites and get them or PM someone else for information so that it will not get on the board for others to accidentally see. As far as Des' season goes this season has been spoiler free as far as who has gotten eliminated, the problem will come with the time difference between the east and west coasts and people wanting to discuss something and forgetting about the people on west coast not seeing it yet. By the time they do see it the east coast people will probably already have gone to bed so maybe at that point someone may need to do what was done on the DWTS thread and have a thread for Spoiler for that episode only so they can discuss and the west coast people know to steer clear if they don't want to know. Just an idea.

I hate spoilers, but we should consider that some people like to discuss them. This board is very small and if we accommodate different taste, perhaps it will grow a bit. The spoiler section could be in a different sub-forum.

rkc -- Assume you're referring to bachandbachettefans. That site was set up for the specific purpose of having spoilers and sleuthing. The two admins are refugees from FORT when the mods over there forbid us to have any spoilers/sleuthing on Bach or Bachette. Long, nasty story.

As for the motherboard, the careless posting of spoilers without some prior notice has been a controversy for years over there.

I get the distinct impression we will all do what Bach asked.

If we all agree to no spoilers, it is up to grace and Bach to "monitor" what is going on. Perhaps we could use another mod during "season?" Just a thought, since I'm sure the traffic here is going to be at least double what it is now.

But FORT blew up over this same issue. I read the 'ette board a lot and it is very easy to avoid spoilers. Although people are starting to use some of the guys as their Avi and I worry that may be giving it away. The new ABC board is a disaster for spoilers. I won't even go there once the season starts, unless I somehow hear who Des picks. I'm just worried we can't grow the board without accommodating different taste.

I asked bach if he knew how to get us in a google search. Neither of us knows how to do that. The only way you can find this board is if you google our name.

Grace -- I've given some thought to the size of the board. I think it's fine. We have something very unique here; posters who care, who have respect for one another, etc. Of course we have some members who joined and never posted, although they seem to lurk. I know it sounds like we have a tight little clique here, but perhaps that is better than publicizing our existence and having to put up with God knows what kinds of trolls, etc. Because the meanies and trolls ARE out there and just itching to cause trouble somewhere else. JMHO.

I'm of the opinion that we should just let things be as they are for the time being. We have a diverse group here: people from all over the country, different ages, different experiences, etc. We have fun here, or at least I do.

As for FORT, there was a rough season for Bach spoilers, after which the mods pulled the spoiler threads. During that season, the nastiness was over the top with name calling, etc. I respect what the mods over there did in that regard. We deserved it. Also know the mods over there are "in bed" with certain posters, which is why I got banned for life over there. Long and not-so-nice story which I won't go into on a public forum.

As far as a Google search, if you decide you really want to do it, my guru son or DH might be able to help us. Both computer freaks.

If you close all the threads during season except to members, then nobody who stumbles on us can find out if they do indeed want to join.
I notice we've had a lot of "guests" lately, but no new members in the past couple of weeks. All this is just my own thinking, for what it's worth.
