You're going to ban/forbid spoiler filled reviews? Weak. everynametaken Send a noteboard - 22/09/2009 08:26:15 AM
Why the Hell would I want to read a spoiler free review? Seriously? Especially when the book comes out in a month? I've already read a few a month or two ago and have no desire to read more beating-around-the-bush reviews.

On the other hand I can't believe you are actually going to ban any spoiler reviews of the work. I have no problem with reading spoilers and if someone doesn't want to read them then they should not click in the post.

Someone "might" post a lie and ruin our credibility? Give me a break. Just create a thread for spoiler filled reviews with a disclaimer that none of the reviews can be guaranteed to be accurate. Spoiler reviews never ruined the credibility of wotmania and I for one always liked reading them (some of the inaccurate trolling was hilarious). Spoilers don't ruin it for me or for a lot of people and their not going to ruin the credibility of the site. I can't believe you're actually going to ban them. Weak.
