Twicks was just saying you should pull the quotes you want to “unspoil” into another thread, like this:

> [@Marvel's Avengers - early reviews seem positive \[edited title\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/marvels-avengers-early-reviews-seem-positive-edited-title/619406/252):
>
> If there’s something you want to discuss openly, use the “+” quote button on the post or posts you want to refer to and you can go across threads. I’m not going to move one person’s post at a different person’s request.
> 
> **twickster** , Cafe Society moderator

instead of asking her to do it…which is what she thought you wanted her to do. She didn’t realize you were just asking if another poster wanted to start another thread.

ETA, for clarification, did you want to start a new thread or did you want a mod to move a handful of posts over to a new thread for you?
