BSV Forum - General - Off-Topic

About those season eight posts...

Things are getting quite heated on Live Journal and on some boards, with much bashing of people and their preferred ships as well as some crowing (perhaps prematurely, but we'll see) about one ship over another and mocking of supporters of the other ship.

Wearing my mod hat ATM, I'd like to request that any and all posts to any of the forum threads about the comics, season eight, and so on be limited to discussing the comics themselves. If you must mention ships (and it's hard to avoid it, I know), please remember that those who ship the other couple (or couples) are fans just like you. They just have a different take on the events they saw.  You may attack the ship, if you can do so without disparaging the people who ship it.  If I think a thread is getting too heavy on the "what idiots they are" stuff, or if there is unnecessary crowing and gloating should there be a change in the comics that gives our guy a boost, I may shut down whatever thread it is on.

I would like very much for Spuffy lovers to come through this latest unpleasantness as a class act - not as contributors to another shipper war. And I would hate to see the BSV become known as a place where it wouldn't be safe for anyone with a different opinion to voice it.  Not that I anticipate a lot of visits from Bangel supporters to a site that is pretty much totally a Spuffy site, but there are those who ship both couples and/or who just enjoy reading about any and all the characters. Let's continue to make those people welcome here.
