I, for one, didn’t mean to come off as outraged, if I did, so sorry about that. It was more of kind of an “Ah! Spoilers!” thing.

So for those concerned, I’m doing a few things here:

1) Instituting the title convention that we had before. Spoilers will be simply titled:

“Lost Spoiler – Episode x.xx – [Vague Info]” With vague info being “Casting scoop, story details revealed, title revealed” etc.

2) A common graphic will be used for ALL spoilers on the front page. So no accidental spoiling with the images.

3) NO details beyond teasers in the excerpts/rss. I do not consider “Guess who is returning tonight” to be a spoiler, for the record.

I’m on no crusade, just voicing my opinion. Just as you are commenting on how /I/ run /my/ site, I am entitled to do so about others. I never claimed, nor tried to be noble or constructive. I’m not sure those qualities are even desirable, nor why you would conjure them up as something to compare me to.

Again, outside the scope of the discussion, but the comments are disabled blog-wide (spambots causing problems, no need for comments).

Your personal crusade to tell other people how to run their sites, and give unsolicited advice about who they should choose as friends and collaborators just smacks of intellectual snobbery and elitism of the worst kind. It’s not noble. It’s not even constructive. It’s just plain sour grapes IMO.

Like I said above, people who wish to read the actual spoiler are going to read further when the article is marked as such. So by not being specific in the title, and having the spoiler contained within the article content, everyone is catered for. Which I thought is what the idea was with the recent ‘spoiler-free’ pact.

I’m more than willing to stop reading as regularly as I do, and coinciding my reading until after episodes — but that isn’t the point. I’m not trying to impose anything, just questioning the (assumed) already existing principles being broken.

Second, i’ve source and if i say things it’s because i learn it MYSELF not my fault if people can steal stuff it happened to me sometimes too

Third, be jealous all you want, i’ve stuff and i share with REAL LOST FAN, i don’t try to get attention just share what i can get but be jealous it’s funny and maybe one day you’ll get some infos and everybody will point a finger at you and you’ll see what it make you feel

and To finish, helping people don’t mean OMG look at me but hé put a post like make me think it’s the way you’re acting
enjoy NOT this place
bon vent, bonne bourre !

I understand that the content of her posts often superseeds her ability to report, and I suppose all that is required here is a little bit of vetting to ensure that this content is delivered at the same great quality already established.

The sentiment of “don’t like it? Make your own” is kinda’ lame. I think it’s much wiser to try and improve the already great sources for material. I enjoy reading the majority of the content here. I see myself as a regular reader, and I believe I’m entitled to state my issues plainly, if sometimes ‘offensive’ or ‘crossing the line’. This is the internetz, after-all.

But sure, not getting bogged down in semantics, I was mostly referring to the fact that two of these were posted by the same person in quick succession. The latter post which really does reveal something for tonight’s episode, which is just hours away.

My problem isn’t that I was spoiled, since I already knew this, but just that it’s possible for other, more detailed information, to make it into the subject-lines of other posts. This comes back to the same point about the quality of your posts, compared to other contributors here, Jon. It’s baffling that you allow such low quality posts which have not been edited for grammar, spelling, and spoilers in the title, on such a blog with an established level of quality.

But going back to the spoiler issue, I think that it was a genuinely great move to make to remove spoilers/possible-spoilers as titles and FP content. The people who want to know such information–however lite–are going to click when it’s mentioned as such. Those who don’t? Can happily avoid it.

You don’t like how Doc runs things? Go create your own Lost blog.

Good grief. Screw Sensitivity 101 – how about Thick Skin 320!!!

Personally, I won’t be able to continue reading the site any more, simply to avoid things like this. Which is depressing, since when you filter out the garbage like this, there’s some really top quality posts, and one of the few blogs with actual journalism taking place.

May I ask, why is she still posting here, unedited/vetted? She’s slowly raping the image of your prestigious name with a rusty pitchfork. I don’t mean to be vulgar, but this is what she brings me to.

Screw it, anything I say here will only be rehashing this: http://www.glassoforange.co.uk/?p=60
