All you would have to do is stay out of the CA subforum until you were ready to read threads about the album. Ding! ding! ding! ding! We have a winner! The sub-forum title itself is a spoiler alert. What else is there to talk about? Go to random samples and post some generic "I'm so excited!!!" comment. Otherwise, come here and talk about what we know. Let's don't talk about it all until the tour is over. That way, there will be no spoilers.
lerxt1990 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 The spoiler policy should be the very existence of this subforum. Also, 99% of people here will listen to the album, look at the artwork, and be in here arguing something between "they are Gods" and "Neil sucks!" within seconds. Preview clips will be posted here as well, if any exist or become available. To me, if you dont want spoilers, then dont come in here. The "speculation talk" has jumped the shark anyway

In fact, let's have the mods put on a filter that prevents any posting with CWA ( ) language referenced. Great solution for protecting the uber-sensitive 1%. Edited March 24, 2012 by goose

Unattractive Truth Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I think it's reasonable to assume that if you enter a forum called "Clockwork Angels", there will be discussions about Clockwork Angels.

How is it not CA? Is Moving Pictures MVP? Is Vapor Trails VPT? No. Shouldn't the only two word album names that need a third letter be PoW and PeW, to clarify the same PW abbreviation?

Mara Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Mar 23 2012, 08:59 AM) What about "spoliers"? We had a shitload of those last time. Had a few "spiolers" as well, if I recall correctly.

USB Connector Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I would think that when this forum starts getting crowded again because of CA news, the CA board is pretty much enter at your own risk. It would be like asking for spoiler warning about Big Bang Theory inside the Big Bang Theory thread. How can you discuss it WITHOUT spoilers?

People were putting spoiler warnings on every post. It got pretty ridiculous, IMHO.
lerxt1990 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 ****spoiler**** !!!!!!!!!! this thread may contain spoilers when the first single, and the album come out.
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 People can't expect to avoid spoilers about the new album and tour if they enter sections dedicated to those subjects. It's why we made separate sections for them, so people can still talk about other Rush music while waiting to experience the new music or concerts for themselves. CA and OTLS are, in effect, spoiler forums. Enter at your own risk. Just keep spoiler content out of thread titles, which can be seen from the main forum page, and there won't be any problems.

Lost In Xanadu Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Doesn't having the song title in the thread go against the spoiler policy here? Can't we get rid of all the garbage ones started by captain SPAM and leave the one real thread open... and possibly change the title for those that don't wanna see the title? (MOD EDIT: Lost In Xanadu is referring to the new song title posted in this forum. The following posts were split from one of those threads and merged into this thread.)

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Knowing songs that are in the setlist for the tour is definitely a spoiler, beyond "Tom Sawyer" and the other few obvious ones. But what about the new songs from the alvum? Let's get some opinions on this: Is knowing a new song title really a spoiler?

Yes. Like S&A, I would expect the lion's share of songs to be in their setlist off of their new record, but knowing which ones? Yes. Sorry to revert back to rational behavior like this...

If that's true, then MTV spoiled it for me when they premiered Big Money on MTV a few weeks before the album's release. Same with Hold Your Fire.
druid13 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 i think everyone who cares knows the title by now. The news that Rush is playing a song called Thomas Sawyer is interesting though.
danielmclark Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I think I've made my opinion about spoilers pretty clear before and I agree with the "no spoilers in titles" policy while allowing for open discussion in the sub-forum. If you don't want spoilers, stay out of the CA section - that makes sense to me. I don't consider track lists spoiler warning worthy. In fact, the only think I consider warning worthy is a tour set list.
