Yeah, it's going over into the theatre of the absurd in the other thread. If you have something rammed that far up your ....Maybe you shouldn't be looking up that on the internet or talking about it on a forum. Also, who will be designated as "police" over there? What line is drawn? Who decides? And what if they are wrong? They pretty much want to outlaw anything to do with discussing anything beyond "Man, what a great episode last night!" with a chorus of "Yeps!" to follow.
I look at that series of pics that someone posted about the Purple Wedding. According to their rules, that would be completely legit to post (Have none of these people ever seen a Literary Major who enjoys a tv show go to work dissecting it? I have...it's amazing what someone of that mind can glean out of the smallest action). But they went ape.... over that, saying the guy who posted it intentionally posted spoilers, just because they couldn't figure it out for themselves. But, even according to the most strict "rules" they tried to post, that post would have been acceptable. It contained not a single thing that was not only in the show, but in a past show. So that's ok.
I think that they are wound way too tightly in that thread, and that they need to go, actually. That's become a rather toxic environment with anyone who posts anything that isn't what "they" agree with bullied and harassed (and now possibly suspended/banned). Especially on something that can be a judgement call, and is based on knowing the intention/mind of the poster.
