I ment no disrespect, but just because he is a moderator, I wont be cowtowing or on my knees feining some kind of false respect. I was just trying to help him see a bit more sense, I know he is a huge Doctor Who fan, and that may be why he feels a little strongly about things, Who Related.

How about a touch of real respect then?

Why is it so difficult to ask members to use spoiler tags so they don't spoil something for others, when its two click of a mouse?

Why would you feel compelled to say your time is more valuable than someone else's enjoyment?

So many questions, so little chance of a reasonable answer.

A new brand logo, on a forum dedicated to television branding, is hardly worth putting in spoiler tags, no matter what programme you are a fan of.

I already said the logo wasn't the big issue - but some can't tell the difference between a logo and a shot of actors shooting new scenes.

Stop being so utterly unbearable, Martin.

Ahem, if I can restore some sort of order. The original point remains, story related plot points on whatever show should be spoilered, those of you not doing so will be actioned accordingly. My point about the logo is my own, if this were a Doctor Who forum I would expect it to be shown, this is not a doctor who forum and until such time as the new logo becomes the main logo on the BBC Who site I (personally) consider it a spoiler.

Common courtesy says if someone doesn't want to see something you don't waggle it in their face. Clicking 1 button to add spoiler tags around text or an image isn't a big deal and some of your over the top reactions such as "well that makes the whole forum pointless," no it makes the discussion just as possible and readers following a thread which diverts into spoilers or plot discussion have the chance to stop reading rather than stumble into something they would rather avoid. Further more if you want to discuss the plot from your secret source just ask the topic creator to make it clear that spoilers are contained in the thread title, it takes no effort and stop all this needless moaning.

That is the end of this matter.
