King in t'North Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just wondering, but who are the moderators for this particular forum? I have a couple of questions I need to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Melnibonean Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 They are dead singers... A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one. The singers of the forest had no books. No ink, no parchment, no written language. Instead they had the trees, and the weirwoods above all. When they died, they went into the wood, into leaf and limb and root, and the trees remembered. All their songs and spells, their histories and prayers, everything they knew about this world. Maesters will tell you that the weirwoods are sacred to the mods. The singers believe they are the mods. When singers die they become part of that modhood. You don't want to know how they were wed to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Other Wolf Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 For instance, why do the book only followers of ASOIAF not want the GOT contents mentioned in the book only forum? Is it that hard to figure out t'North? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is a preference of some book readers, but it's also mentioned by people who don't mind it but don't want the thread locked over rule violations.

Seams Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's pretty clear from the pinned post near the top of the ASOIAF (book) forum entitled, "Show spoilers - important" from May of 2016, before Season 6 of the (GoT) show: As the show goes out, we want to be clear on our policy regarding spoilers for the benefit of all users. We understand that developments in the TV show may or may not turn out to be relevant to the plot of future books. Accordingly, they may or may not be spoilers for future books. Our policy on this is precautionary and is an extension of our existing policy on show/book discussion. Discussion of the show should go in the show forums: this includes discussion of plot points from the series, and whether they tell us anything about the future direction of the books. At the same time we recognise that there are users who are not watching the series and prefer to remain unspoiled. This may or may not prove possible in the long run, but we prefer not to make it any harder. This means that no show spoilers of any kind should be posted in the book forums. No hints, no speculation, nothing. Any breach of that rule will result in a suspension: no excuses and no exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can now use any bathroom you want, so what is the point of gender? (Actually, I was quoting the faceless man that paid Arya's debt to the red god.)

Ser Walter of AShwood Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I am both a book reader and a series viewer, and I really like the fact that there are such strict rules on the forum. There are also a lot of book readers, who never watched the show, and who never will watch the show. Giving them (false) information from the show, is not a good idea. The series are an adaptation of the books, a lot (yes, a lot) of characters have been changed, removed, or merged causing storylines to mismatch between the 2. Let's be honest, season 1 of the show, pretty much followed the book, with just some minor changes. However, during the seasons, more characters got merged, removed or so completely changed that only the most crucial storyline is the same. A lot of other stuff is clearly different (no, not stuffed, but different). Also, since the show is now ahead of the books, and because the storylines are so extremely different, you can simply not assume that things from the show will be in the books. By the way, has anybody been accused of modicide yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldve Taken The Black Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Give me OPs who are fat and corrupt and cynical, the sort who like to sit on soft satin cushions, nibble sweetmeats, and diddle little boys. It's the ones who believe in Mods who make the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
