The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.
*slaps the entire thread around a bit with a large trout*
Remain on-topic please. If you want to talk about fish, talk about how fishy the second half of S4 smells.
How come this threat gets threatened by the mods for going off topic when others get away with it, I've been in Dr Who threads that have gone WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY off topic and not a murmur from the mods

Some mods are pro S4. That's why all anti-threads get so much attention. When you want other threads to get some moderation, you have to report the posts

Because of post-count whoring and if you ever want a PTB to take you seriously you need not stray too far from the topic.

What about just having fun among the posters? Isn't that what these boards are about? When we get a bit of silliness going we get our a$$es kicked and sent to bed like naughty children
*Looks around for Nanny*

The problem lies in the fact that the Doctor Who threads are less frequented than the anti-threads, they're not the main focus, and they're not quite as sensitive a topic. The moment you start going off-topic there it doesn't send much of a message since it's not GW's main focus but more of an extra. The moment people start going completely off-topic in the Stargate sections you'll get mayhem, since it opens the door for, what I like to call, "post count whores". People who spam threads with useless messages only to increase their post-counts and not to mention that these are the people that are also prone to instigate flamewars etc.. Both usually result in either the closure or the moving of the thread to the off-topic section, so don't give these people a reason to start spamming these topics by going too far off-topic.
Compare it to Stargate, when it opened the doors for silly episodes the quality of the show drastically decreased.
