> The simplest implementation by far is just to say - in certain threads, we’ll discuss the TV show with no outside knowledge at all. No judgement calls on what is or isn’t a spoiler, no guesses as to what the show will reveal, just… discuss the TV show as its own work. It’s the easiest way to handle things.

Simpler yet- we are here to fight ignorance and promote knowledge. Post anything you like. That’s the American way, that’s the SDMD way. Censorship is wrong.

Umm, no, your solution was to promote ignorance, (likely due as you are apparently illiterate) and promote censorship. It didn’t work, as they had to appoint a special Mod just for one special thread, and this thread and the closed thread in ATMB has made it clear that the membership doesn’t really like it.
