Notes From Your Mods

[scarynikki12]

Hey everyone!  With only a couple of weeks before the premiere of Legends Of Tomorrow, a friendly reminder from your Mods:

 

Stay on topic and stay aware.  If you're in the Spec Without Spoilers thread and realize the discussion is almost entirely about Captain Cold, bring it to his thread.  If you're in Cold's thread and realize the discussion has more to do with the latest promotional article, take it to Media.  If you're in Media and realize the discussion requires Spoiler tags almost exclusively, take it to Spoilers.  And so on. 

 

Thanks and let us know if you have any questions,

Everyone,

This topic came up in the Spoiler thread, and we feel it bears a response. Ciara Renee has, in fact, Tweeted that she is "white". She then went on to clarify that she is "about 70% white," and also black, Indian, and Native American. Having said that, discussions as to how she, or any other cast member, identifies and whether that counts as diverse are off-limits, incredibly offensive and will be deleted. Discussion of race and/or gender in the TV landscape in general can go in those threads in Everything Else TV. But remember, keep it civil; implying posters are racist because they don't agree with you would be considered a violation of the Be Civil Guidelines.

We've had some inquiries about new threads.  We talked about it a bit and this is what we've decided.

 

We have decided that any Bitterness and Unpopular Opinions can be folded into the general discussion, so we're going to say no to them.  We think a Bitterness thread is unnecessary until maybe after the season ends, at which point we will revisit that idea.  We think that an Unpopular Opinions thread is not necessary at all.  There's a great thread for UOs here in the Everything Else TV forum for that discussion.  Our current Media traffic is low so all related posts (news, social media, behind the scenes info) will go there.  Character threads are completely fine, though they need to appear in the episode before the threads are created.

 

We also want you guys to know that you do not need Mod approval to create new threads, though we encourage you to ask us if you have any questions that this note doesn't answer.  We might decide that threads are unnecessary or already exist in some form but don't let that deter you. 

 

Enjoy!

The question of how to approach preview talk in episode threads has an answer:

If you want to include your reaction to the next episode previews you may do so without spoiler tags.

If you want to include a short reference to the content of the next episode previews, that must be spoiler tagged. 

So, to give an example, let's say that the next episode preview shows Maze from Lucifer* crossing over to help out the Legends on their next mission.  Feel free to post "Next week looks AWESOME!" or "I may have to skip the next episode" without fear of violating any rules.  Now, something along the lines of

Spoiler

"I can't wait to see Mick's reaction to Maze"

or

Spoiler

"I hope Zari punches Maze in the face"

need spoiler tags, as demonstrated.

Any further preview discussion will be considered off-topic and needs to be in one of the speculation threads.  You do not need to spoiler tag preview talk in those threads.

*Example chosen because it will 100% never happen.

Since there is a lot of interest in discussing the potential Batwoman series, please direct conversation to this topic, located in Everything Else TV; Pilot Season and Shows in Development. Since this show has not been picked up to series yet, there is no forum. Once/If the CW picks it up, the forum can be requested.

Since LOT won't be a part of the big crossover this year the new rules will apply on a smaller scale but, GOING FORWARD, posts in the entire LOT forum should focus on LOT characters; posts that are about characters on other shows are subject to removal and repeated offenses may result in other actions. Use common sense here (e.g., if Oliver appears in an episode of LOT, that can be discussed in the episode topic), and if you have questions, contact the mod team via PM; as always discussion of mod actions in topic is not allowed.

For your convenience;

The Arrow forum;

the Black Lightning forum;

the Supergirl forum;

the Flash forum;

and, again,

the Pilot Season and Shows in Development topic.

Please note, this is not a comprehensive list of all the other show forums!

Thank you!
