Obviously I'm not going to post a spoilerific review, but at the same time I do want to be able to post some information before release. For example, would it be okay to say how many chapters there are or what maps are in the book (i.e., "the map of Tar Valon from Book 3 is reprinted," not, "The map of Tar Valon is shown altered to include the damage wrought by Godzilla's attack on the city in Chapter 21",)?
And if I think it sucks, I want to be able to say so without being stamped on

I got an NB from another poster who asked if he could do a pre-release spoiler-free review of the book. He said Ben was okay with it. We're going to run that as our RAFO review.
I think that pre-release information makes the board susceptible to hoaxing and half-truths. I'm sure some people are getting early copies, but others will post falsehoods and undermine the credibility of the board, making RAFO the centre for all that is false.
I've got an open mind about it though.. you can NB me if you want and we can formulate a strategy if you're really keen to post small scraps before the release of the book.

As a rule I avoid the boards around prerelease times regardless *NM*

No. This must be strictly enforced. And the message that it will be strict must be in the language *NM*

Silly posters, everyone knows Cadsuane doesn't die before she gets married.

If you have not read it by Oct 28, you are an inferior species of fan and should not be here. *NM*

Well, I'm getting a review copy, so can you elaborate on the rules for that?

I think pre-release info is pretty much banned

You already made a post about reviews for TGS and we were overwhelmingly in favor of it
