If they are quarantined in an announced post, I don't see and problem for me, so yes I guess Lady Isa Avanderidhril Send a noteboard - 21/09/2009 01:09:41 PM
and it rhymes!!!


I've received contact from a few posters who say that they're getting copies of TGS before the 27th of October. The spoiler policy at this moment is to ban all such information from being posted on the board.

Would you like the board to remain closed to these reviews until October 27, or would you like me to create a special area for them for people to read, if they want to?

If no, then all these people can read their advanced copies but post nothing about it until October 27. The advantage of this is that the board is kept clean of both good and false reviews. There are people who will post lies which could potentially contaminate the board, and create rumours on other sites as to the validity of our content i.e. make us a laughing stock.

If yes, I'll create an announced post for spoiler-free reviews of the new book. If anyone has read or claims to read the book before October 27, they can post there. Again, SPOILERS will still NOT be allowed, but these posters can post their spoiler-free reviews in this area. I'll also not defend the validity of any review, so you can read it at your peril. Don't be angry if a poster writes about the huge occurence in the early book surrounding Perrin, which just doesn't happen, and leaves you disappointed. Some posters also want to write vague details regarding the books i.e. how many chapters, maps, PoV's there are.

Examples of what you might see on this board...

- My spoiler-free review of TGS by Dragon21
- My own spoiler-free review of TGS by Hamhead
- Maps you can find in the new book by Jumpingjack


Examples of what you will not see on this board...

- My review of TGS *spoilers* *spoilers* by Jeff
- The Forsaken who die in TGS by Illiterateboy
- How TGS ends by Peterpumpkineater

Let me know what you think... I'm going to do this by popular demand. If the result is NO, it will be NO or vice-versa.
