Keep it like it is and just require all spoilery threads to be clearly marked.

The AUTHOR isn't fictional, just the subject matter about which he writes. <smile> |

I'm a hardcore fan outside the CONUS who's a bit cash strapped at the moment, but planning on buying all the books hardcover when i can afford it, and until then borrowing them from our library. however that often means a wait of up to 5 months after CONUS hardback publishing times. But i don't care about the snerks, as they actually increase the enjoyment for me as i can use them as snippets and try to work out what happens next. its a great way of passing the time while waiting for the books! A snerk forum would probably be too hard to implement, and it works fine now. If it aint broke, don't fix it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I may be a stinker, but I am a MANTICORAN stinker! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ `

Absolutly. That way I can avoid it until after I've had a chance to read the book... "Who Dares Wins"

Absolutey.. Which rule to apply once book is in hard cover or paperback is the main question in my opinon.

On second thought - don't bother.
Even without having the book yet, I'm reading the comments on HFF. Make great taesers... "Who Dares Wins"

Almost every thread contains discussion of the latest book in the series (which some people may not have yet read), possible future story developments, or "what DW said at a recent booksigning"; and they also tend to meander into other subject areas. Therefore all posts on the fora tend to contain snerks at some point, and having a "snerkers only" board becomes a fairly moot point

I can think of all sorts of refinements that can be made to make avoiding spoilers easier, but the way things are right now seems to work well enough. As for a Snerker's Only Board, I would prefer to not have one. For me it just means that the stuff I want to read gets more spread out and I have to go looking for it. Mind you I can understand why some might feel differently, and it won't kill me if a Serker's Only Board is set up. This is just my two cents worth.
