Spoiler Forum?

[hazlnut]

Can we get all spoiler threads posted in a separate forum--I for one would like a buffer between me and these threads...

 

It will lessen the chance of a nip slip, wardrobe malfunction...

Why don't you just create your own website? more snarky remarks from fellow fans... Nice.   It was just a suggestion for a sub-sub forum for SPOILER threads. Frankly, all the 'possible spoiler' threads were getting annoying. But what else are people supposed to talk about.   As long as everyone follows the spoiler rules, those of us who don't want to know every song before the show need not be concerned... still, seems like there's always one wisenheimer.

Spoilers are a point of contention on these boards. Experience has told us that making a separate spoiler section along with a tour section is futile. For instance, we have a clearly-marked meetup section at the top of this forum, with dedicated threads for each show, and people still post meetup threads out here. No matter what signs you put up, people will either blow through them or not notice them.   If we made a separate spoiler section, we'd still get tons of spoilers out here, and we mods would be chasing our tails trying to keep them contained. That's wasted effort, so no use trying that again. The best way to deal with spoilers is to make the whole tour section a spoiler section.   We have to hope that people won't post spoilers in threads that aren't meant for them, and hope they mark their own threads as containing spoilers if they plan on posting any. Outside of that, enter this section at your own risk.   We probably did get a little too snarky with you, but a lot of us have been here for the last couple of tours and we've seen people blindly post spoilers where they don't belong and we get frustrated. Take it with a grain of salt, we mean no harm.

Other than that, all bets are off.   If you really don't want to see spoilers, you may need to avoid this forum (or board) for the next few weeks. I'm still debating myself if I want to see the setlist this time around.

Yeah, but if you're fanatical about not wanting to know the set... Some folks love to post spoilers in thread titles, which you could potentially see before they're caught and fixed.

 

I also had to take a couple days "hiatus" when S&A was released. With every new Rush release, there seems to be a tremendous surge of negative, nasty opinions expressed here on TRF. Not just valid critical comments, but really over-the-top, negative, nasty stuff, IMO. I find myself taking this personally and affecting my enjoyment of the new release, so I find it's better to take a day or two away from TRF and absorb the new album on my own.

With any band that's been around as long as Rush has, you'll have the old school fans who just don't like the new music the band is putting out. They'd rather the band keep making the type of music they made in their heyday.   For the people who like all or most of the band's music -- old and new -- those "the new stuff sucks" posts can get annoying. But the haters don't speak for the whole community.

Agreed, it's not just here. I'm sure when S&A was released, it was probably 100 times worse over on CP.

Not snarky at all.   If you fear of reading about the tour content, then don't visit that particular forum. You mentioned, "what else is there to talk about", and that is true...what else is there to talk of other than the content of the tour itself? ....and that may include the setlist content.
