suggestion to split animespot
 
Just suggestion... I wonder if it's possible to split animespot forum? I think the discussion in the animespot bit unsorted between anime manga discussion if all the talk crammed into one place. In some thread, the discussion of manga might spoil the anime watcher and vice versa.
I think the forum should be splitted into a forum and two subforums to make things bit sorted.:)

So it may turns into like this:

Anime & Manga general discussion
Subforum: Animespot
Subforum: Mangaspot

anyway, it's just suggestion, I hope you would consider it :)

The problem you described can just be easily solved by creating two separate threads instead of two separate forums. It worked well previously for certain series, there's no need to further divide forum traffic especially considering that Animespot is nowhere near the most active forum in Gamingforce Network. Plus, you'll find that activity will be disproportionately skewed between the two proposed subforums -- there aren't nearly as much manga exclusive threads compared to animated series.

Hmm, since NigBlah has said so... I guess it's okay then. :) I thought it's forbidden to create same thread since there has been similar thread around.

I guess you should add this rule to animespot rules since it wasn't mentioned in the stickied thread.

If the existing thread is (for example) about Naruto anime, then how is a Naruto manga thread the same? Answer: It's not. They discuss different things, and so I'm guessing they are both OK unless they break the rules in some other way. The manga thread would be discussing a completely different story arc in this example, so it's hardly like duplication.

It sounds like that's what Blah's saying.

Or, ya know, not, because it's obvious.

Naturally, if there is a series thread you wish to create a manga-exclusive (or anime-exlusive) counterpart of, it's good form to ask the thread creator beforehand and/or obtain the opinion of the thread participants. If not, then the moderators will determine whether your split is warranted.

Indeed. We also have this unwritten rule that if there is a shitty thread for an anime or manga and someone wants to make a much better one with links, synopsis, character details, pictures, etc. then we'll axe the old thread in favor of the new one. Generally we try to inform the older thread creator or put a link to the new thread for some sort of continuality (is that even a word?) but if it's a thread from a notoriously bad thread creator like how chato used to be and to some extent still is then we'll just forget the whole message and link to new thread thing and replace it with the new thread should one arise.

We did until just now.

While on this topic, can we get some sort of rule for spoilers than states users need to at least say
Manga:
Frodo destroys the ring.
so if I only see the anime, I don't have to click, find out its the manga, then possibly ruin my experience?

(Fuck you if you say "Your fault for not reading it")

I think creating two separate threads--one for the anime and one for the manga--would be more useful in the end, but, if there isn't too much discussion about the anime or manga in a given thread, I'm all for at least asking that users specify which they're talking about.

FatsDomino Jun 20, 2006 01:27 PM

I wouldn't mind if more people tagged their spoiler codes with spoiler=whatever, Lukage. That'd be mighty fine.

Or at least just say "Chapter 103"
Spoiler:
Darth Vader is Luke's father


I find myself doing a lot of *click* *intentional quick glance* "OH SHITS ITS THE MANGA!" *unclick* Rather than 2 subforums, stick with 2 threads for each..."Oh man sorry, I swear I was in the manga forum"
