SAY NO to spoilers!

[buffysmglover]

The furthest I would go is making a Spoiler sub-board.

[Lukee]

Don't read them if you don't want to see them.

If the post is spoiler marked and all then i don't see a reason at all why others cant enjoy the spoiler goodness.

[Lukee]

Even though some people read the spoilers they still watch the show or read the comics. I mean most people here still read the comics and read the spoilers and previews and junk don't they?

Joss isn't losing out by spoilers being put on the web unless it was something big like how a season ends or something then thats different but most spoilers are small.

[hitnrun017]

Spoilers do make me very, VERY upset, but as long as there are spoiler warnings then I will ok. I don't see how it's going to possible though, we still got seven-months!

[Lukee]

I understand what you mean but it doesn't mean people are going to think the way you are thinking. Some don't mind reading them. It like some people like surprises some don't. Some want to know whats going to happen before it dose.

[Wyndam]

Anything with a spoiler warning and I try and stay away. In this day and age though, it is more or less impossible to try and keep spoilers away. Some people love to read them and some don't.

I know people love to read them lol. That's not the point. I myself love to read them.

I don't see the reason to debate it then hehe

I've watched the trailer and one scene, but I resisted reading the pilot script. I didn't want to spoil myself for the new show. I didn't read spoilers for any of Buffy or Angel, and I think the shows were better because of it.

I'm trying really hard to not learn too much about what's going to happen plotwise for the characters, but its a personal choice.

So I'll hop on the spoiler-free bandwagon being good for viewers but I don't think it should be banned. A spoiler sub-board sounds good.

is the pilot script out there for the world to see?

i've read some of it but never the whole thing....

[Rebecca]

Mikey, I get your point. However people have the right to post spoilers, as long as they are considerate enough to censor them with tags.

You just have to have some self-control, lol.

[angelmonster]

Spoilers should be posted, I just think people should put (SPOILER) or something in the title then warn people in their post. That is pretty much easy enough. Personally I want to read the spoilers so i don't forget about it since it will be almost a year before it comes to tv.

[BennyTheKey]

I think if theres gonna be a spolier or something someone should write SPOLIER or something like that so the people know, because I've read spoliers about Angel and it has ruined it for me, so it would be good for a massive notice before the person starts to write about the topic,

[Rachster]

Who cares... if people want to read the spoilers they will whether its on this site or not i don't read them or at least i try to stay away from them the way i see it is that if you don't want to know keep away from anything that may contain them and i know thats hard but its not impossible its a personal choice and you cant ban spoilers its not that easy

[Skytteflickan88]

I see what you mean, but as you read, people want their spoliers. I get why you want them banned tough, because of Joss' feelings. I'd be pretty upset too if people didn't view my shows they way I meant for them.

Btw, posting pilots, isn't that illegal? Unless it has been published for free, by the owners?

*slaps his forehead* lol I don't think people understand the idea of the thread. I'm just saying that Joss himself doesn't want us to read them because he knows that it'll ruin the viewing experience for us. And it does. I'm just saying that we as a community should consider going through Dollhouse differently than the last few seasons of Buffy. What happened during seasons 6 and 7 REALLY upset Joss.

Ok yeah i get that but still not much can be done about it unless people just stop posting the spoilers.

[Jsebold87]

Personally I don't like spoilers of any kind. I never read topics if I think they'll have spoilers in them, but sometimes spoilers are there even if they're not supposed to be, or not even marked. I hate it when I accidentally come across a spoiler. That's what happened to me when I was watching a Buffy interview on one of the dvd's and it blurted out about Tara dying (when I hadn't even seen it yet), which irritated the crap out of me.

I haven't really been spoiled so much on here, there are a couple of things I came across that were semi-spoilers, but nothing that bad. I always just stay away from stuff I think will spoil it. But it's hard sometimes. Posts should definitely be marked if they are spoilers though, because not everyone wants to read them.

Hell, to avoid any spoilers before finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (the last HP book), I didn't watch any news on tv, and I didn't go to any news sites online or any Harry Potter website for 2 days so I wouldn't be spoiled.

I think it's pretty simple.

Want to read spoilers - then read them.
Don't want to read spoilers - then don't read them.

As long as there are spoiler alerts for people (like myself) who don't want to read them, then why should they not be allowed and 'spoil' everyone else's fun?

[Smashed]

Oh well, what Joss wants, he doesn't necessarily get!


Let's punish Joss for killing our favorite characters by posting spoilers!
and them e-mail him the links!

BWAHAHA.

Ok, I'm kidding.

[dragonweaver]

I totally get what your going for Mikey. Being the sheltered girl I was (and having no internet), I was spoiler free for Buffy & Angel's entire run and I'm very happy that I was. I got to experience the moments as the came. I know that there are so many moments that would have been a lot less dramatic and surprising if I had read beforehand that they were happening. I loved the suspense of not knowing what would happen next. So in that spirit I plan to stay as spoiler free for Dollhouse and enjoy the ride as it comes.

With that said in this day and age the internet is full of spoilers and inside information and no matter how hard we fight it, that's not going to change. People want to know and if they don't get their "fix" here, they'll just get it somewhere else.

I do think perhaps a separate forum dedicated solely to spoilers will help cut down on accidental spoilage by naive fans, but cutting out all spoilers is something I can't see happening.

[kimtaro]

I don't mind spoilers as long as the episode has already aired. If I missed it, spoilers don't really ruin things for me. I wanted to know how Deathly Hallows ended before reading it, LOL. I'm just weird like that. Knowing the ending doesn't really "spoil" the episode/movie/book for me. You still have to get from point A to point B.
