This is what makes our board/reply format better than Dragonmount's Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 31/10/2010 08:18:43 PM
-----------JenniferL The MOD---------

Different sites have different tolerance levels for different types of conversation. What they aren't saying in that thread is the two of them engaged in a running flame war with each other and another poster that clogged up the only full spoiler thread. It made several pages of the thread and was starting to derail it entirely into a screaming fest over their pet topic. It sounds like that sort of thing is okay over at RAFO where it's only a couple dozen guys who all know each other pretty well. It's not okay at Dragonmount where we have somewhere between 1,000-2,000 active posters.

If you're really that concerned about moderation policy at Dragonmount, you are free to go and visit any of the literally thousands of other forums on the internet that exist for Wheel of Time discussion. I'm sure one of them will be more to your liking. Otherwise, I'd appreciate it if we stopped having so many conversations about it. It's kind of a dull topic and I think it's starting to bore the other posters.

If you don't want to read a subdiscussion about a particular topic stemming from a particular thread, it is all clearly marked and you don't have to read it!! Whereas in the style that Dragonmount has all the replies are visible to everyone, so I can see how the type of discussions that erupt around here would be irritating. Point RAFO. :|

To be fair, I do like that style layout for a lot of other things - particularly rp'ing. It's much more streamlined and easier for a thread that by its very nature stays on topic. But I think what we have here is the best for the type of divergent discussions prompted by books and movies and stuff. Yay!
Insert theme music here.
