Shoutbox Break

The Shoutbox is turned off for 24 hours due to repeated rule-breaking. The shoutbox rules are not that hard and they're posted in multiple places - including just below where it says SHOUTBOX - and yet in the past 48 hours we've deleted more comments & issued more warnings than in the past 4 months alone. 

So it's off.

EDIT 3/9/16: Its been almost 24 hours. We're being nice & turning the shoutbox back on a little early. Read the Shoutbox Guidelines & follow the rules, please. -FM

Questions/comments can be sent to Fairies Masquerade, Ikkleosu or subversivegrrl.

I think the problem is that people here just want to talk to each other. I don't suppose there's a magic button to add a discussion forum to NL, is there? Or maybe someone can set up an official one somewhere else and link to it like with the chatroom? It would be nice to have a place to talk about Caryl ff and the show in more depth. The shoutbox is definitely not the place for that and the chatroom is mostly useful for real-time discussions.

I hope this comment is OK. Just my two cents.

Magic buttons really don't exist! LOL. Forums are a lot of work, time and effort  to both set up & then run. I've done it several times in the past to varying degrees of success. 

We have talked about adding a forums option to the site because it IS something we have available, but right now it isn't feasible for the staff.

If you're looking for in depth spoiler discussion, our friend at Carolution set up the TWD Zone forums: http://twdzone.com You can always mosey over there & see how you like it!

To be honest, I've always wondered what the function of the shout box actually is since it seems as though it may be more trouble than it is worth.

Thank you. This is not me condemning the offenders, but it's been extremely difficult to come to NL since the episode and even before, when people would say "I won't talk spoilers but..." As someone who needs 12 extra hours to watch the show if I do things right, I feel a bit better

Tbh I don't see how its so hard to just NOT talk about spoilers. People know the rules, and they ain't hard to stick to.
