Prepare for meltdown! The thread I meant, not the episode.

Will Jodie hold that kind of power?
"Just how powerful do you think I am?" she asked Tecteun, to which there was no reply...
Timelord fob watches have been used before, sometimes to devastating effect. This has the potential to be really scary so lets see if it/that pans out that way.
I believe you started one?
I wasn’t part of this decision making process but it does seem like a shame. These threads to my knowledge are not usually posted until the morning of the episode.
Its a public forum so what do Whovinites expect me to do as a member of a public forum? Pat my head and say 'play nice'?
My earlier post in this thread was intended just to inform you of the situation and how it arose. If you weren't here when all the trouble started, you had several posters trying to create episode thread a week or more in advance of the episode airing, multiple threads at once, bickering etc. Having Lady (who is very good at what she does) create the threads negates the whole "wow look at me I made the thread" level of pettiness the forum descended into.
Did the Mods create that rule?
Threads have been created and poll options given in a standard way for people who want to vote on how they rated an episode of Flux. Sure it's a free universe but that has worked pretty well.
If I wanted to be the one who made these threads ans then it was pointed out there was a regular slot in place for that, hard lines to me.
As I said, I think it’s a shame.
The community decided these rules, and they've worked for a number of years now. It was decided that creating the thread wasn't much of an "honour" worth bothering about especially with the chaos that it was causing. Lady was nominated because her threads were thought of as the best examples of what an episode thread should be; containing all the information on the episode, synopsis, cast list etc and behind the scenes links and bonus content. She accepted that role and continues to do it because it avoids the arguments over who gets to do the thread. My own thread for episode one was a stop-gap, though I followed the usual format (poll notwithstanding as the process to add a poll has changed in the years since I last created a thread that had one!)
I'm joking. In this universe, anyway.
"This is a public forum" is an interesting argument to make in this case. Whilst true, I feel I should point out that forums are a place of community, hence the agreed procedure for creating episode threads. Acting individually with little regard for the rest of the community is regrettable if done in ignorance with no intended malice, but ill advised if done deliberately or with malice.
I was not aware. Nor do the forum rules need me to be. Sorry if thats harsh, but its true.
Well, that explains everything!
Brill!
Never have I stated that you had to be aware, but I and others have been courteous in letting you know the situation. It's understandable that you're feeling on the defensive but it honestly isn't necessary. There's no hostility intended at all.
Genuinely thanks. If you wish to request this thread be deleted then please do so. I haven't attached a poll after all, as I don't know how to do that.
Maybe they should make LadyOfTraken an honorary moderator.
I agree with keyInferno on one thing though. Forum members are free to post what they like, wherever they like, as long as it complies with the rules of the forum. I would recommend searching before creating a discussion, as I often find someone else has already created one I can use.
