"Not found this new board of yours- from the sounds of it, it seems a bit totalitarian whilst the new mods are testing the waters. Would someone plz post a stongly toned post over there sometime along the lines of (well feel free to modifify it a tad for typos/tone etc):
Censorship of the teabags thread is not on.
What do they want us to do? Lucifer's one of the more difficult comics to discuss. The board isn't inhabited by standard 'fanboys' with the wolverine v batman battle threads, nor does it have centuries of history since sandman's got its own thread. Each issue is discussed objectively as it's released- that only takes one or 2 threads.
So what if the tone of the lucifer board's a little crazy- discussing single issues only takes one or 2 threads a month unlike the gazillion bat/supes books on the shelves, all interrealted where you can pick holes in continuity very easily. Lucifer doesn't have predictable plotlines, so we can't moan it's all been done before. The creative team doesn't change, and there aren't many books on the market that can be compared to it. So what would you have us discuss?
What's wrong with a little diversity in our threads on top of the standard discussions? Surely the current teabag thread on the board to be phased out isn't spam- I'd say a reasonable proportion of it comes out with serious issues including SARS and other global issues. There are also a fair number of artistic essays/contributions from people about the virtue of seemingly insignificant items such as tea- think of the thread as a way for the group to be creative together about a random topic.
Humour us - give us at least one creative thread for our members to enjoy contributing to - if people don't want to read it, they don't have to."
