If there is a direct order from Tor or whoever to not allow any such postings then I am fine with that decision by rafo, but I have seen plenty of spoiler reviews before release over the years at wotmania and they never "ruined" the credibility of the site. That was what I especially thought was weak about the decision. If the wot board here wants to find reasons to drive people off so that they never come back then they are succeeding quite well.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

No, if people want to review the book, they can do it on their own blogs. *NM*

If it's going to be in a separate section, and it's spoiler free, why is "NO" even an option?
