No, I'm transfixing Shady's actions into the piece provided by Bryan.......to help make sense of the horror.

Or remember Dallas........people would paid huge to know Sue Ellen's sister shot JR Some people's bubble-wrapped children I guess.........

Some people are overly invested in fiction and sans a spoiler, their lives can be easily ruined?

One passage from your link worth repeating: Said point is confirmed by our very own GOT thread here on MLW....... Again, Shady just simply attempting to gain enjoyment out of discussing the episode with other GOT fans........was his actions worthy of moderator actions.......I think not.

I'm not trying to interpret Shady's actions, but Kimmy's overreaction.

Yes he did: I don't see how Shady commenting on a tv show is not treating people with respect and dignity.......but I can see how your reaction, likewise your discourse with Shady in other topics, could be construed as lacking respect and dignity........ Jesus wept.........I do truly hope your tongue was planted firmly in cheek well writing that.

Is there rules that suggest all threads, posts and status updates require a "spoiler alert" and in not doing, one can expect moderator (overre)action?

Watch it.........she just turned me into a Newt

If we were in the game of thrones kingdom, I'd hazard she'd be decried a witch and burned at the stake

I think thats the point of this thread.....and the crux of this conversation encompassing your wizard shows and little buddy ruining the lives of fans of a tv show.........and you being pissed off and abusing your "powers"

ixnay Antasay Ausclay.......or there will be blood on the moon

Is their a section within the forum rules covering GOT spoilers? I'm not crying at all, I don't read most of Shady's posts, nor do I care about wizards.......but I do care about discourse on this site, like all people that post here, and in this case, you, a member of the moderating team, abused your "powers" because Shady posted a spoiler for a tv show you like........Though I've had my disagreements with Charles and Micheal, I've never got the sense that they arbitrarily abused their powers over a tv show.......

Agreed, if updates containing plot devices of tv shows about wizards buggering their siblings are to be deleted on the whim of the moderating staff.........what's next? Forum bans for posting results from live election coverage nights?

Agreed 100%.......we have a thread regarding GOT, that Kimmy posts in (which is fine).....if spoilers are now to be moderated, does she decide when the show can now be spoiled?

And yet you decided that his post regarding GOT was offensive..........because he spoiled something for other people.......for a tv show.......about wizards and dragons and stuff........ In my opinion, your response would have been justified, if for example Shady's post had of made use of racial slurs against elves or sexist comments directed towards pixies and witches........barring that, in my view, and I'll gladly await word from the Mountain top (not a GOT spoiler) from Greg, you abused your "authoritah" over a spoiled tv show....... Grow up.

As I said, it boils down to the mens rea...... was Shady's post intentionally meant to piss people off or was it a reaction no different than someone posting that their team had scored or their favorite actress won the Oscar etc..... Without seeing the actual post, I have no way of knowing Shady's intent........as such the push goes to Shady, and Kimmy overstepped and is doing the exact opposite of her intended role.

The TV series Spartacus was really well done.............by Jupiter's cock though, I won't spoil the series for fear of moderator sanction. In all seriousness though, I think this incident should elicit a response from Greg........I didn't see Shady's update, but I'm assuming outside the spoiler that ruined the lives of GOT fans, Shady didn't post anything that under normal circumstances Charles or Micheal would delete or sanction.......

Thank god MNF is no longer taped delayed for the West Coast..........I'm sure status updates would then be ban worthy

At what point is one aloud to talk about the show, now that rules on spoilers are being made up on the fly? Does one have to wait until Kimmy posts a review in a topical thread before said show can be discussed?

So a modern day I Claudius.........where in the forum rules does soft core jerky porn spoilers grant the moderators the ability to delete members posts?

I don't watch Game of Thrones, maybe I should if it elicits this kind of a response .........none the less, I would assume Shady's post was a reaction to something exciting happening on the show well watching it live, no different then someone posting here well watching a sporting event and commenting on someone scoring a touchdown or homerun etc..........a human reaction to something exciting, and though it might have ruined a surprise for those recording it, it wasn't his intent to ruin people's lives. Kimmy I'm assuming watches the show, likely recording it to watch later, and Shady's excitement destroyed Kimmy's life........as a response, regardless of Shady's status update wrecking the lives of GOT fans, Kimmy reacted in anger and abused her moderator "powers" by deleting Shady's post............ Maybe, those who's lives that have forever been ruined by Shady, in future, when recording their most favorite wizard show, should avoid social media sites including MLW, until they have watched the latest episode........so as to prevent being gutted by spoilers by other fans of the show......and MLW moderators shouldn't delete status updates by excited fans of the wizards and dragon show.

As it stands, a year prior to the selection, based on his engagement at the convention, if Kevin O'Leary does decide to run for the leadership, I will gladly line-up behind him........... "Mini-Trump"? How is that? By all means contrast the similarities between Trump and Kevin O'Leary...........they've both had/have a working relationship with Mark Burnett? They have money and are in business? Go ahead make your case that O'Leary is a "mini-Trump".....

In the hands of the committee? I thought Minister Monsef intended for a determination by Canadians Did not Minister Monsef state FPTP and referendums are on the table if thats what Canadians want? With the later, recent polls indicate upwards of 70% of Canadians want that determination........not a Liberal/NDP dominated committee. For the Tories, going forward, their task is simple in regards to voter engagement..........be the voice that listen to and returns democracy to Canadians........zig when the Liberals and NDP (as you suggest) have decided to zag. Policy wise, as floated by O'Leary, online referendums for populist petitions submitted and signed by "x" amount of Canadians.......that is a potential Conservative policy that could usurp the discussion of voter engagement across Canada.

Here...........

I agree thats the case presently.......eventually though, said millennials will grow-up and realize their lot hasn't improved due to Trudeau's policies.
