Structuring RoW spoilers differently than normal

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

One problem with Oathbringer's spoiler period was that people couldn't find what they were interested in discussing. Some individuals wanted to talk about lore/magic stuff and cosmere theories. Others wanted to discuss characters and relationships. That OB spoiler board was crazy busy. 

So, to that end, we are expanding the Rhythm of War Spoiler board into an entire section. This Rhythm of War and Dawnshard Spoiler Area has three different RoW boards: General Thoughts, Character Discussion, and Lore/Cosmere Discussion. Hopefully this will mean individuals of different mindsets can more easily see topics they are interested in. The RoW Lore/Cosmere Discussion board can have full cosmere spoilers unlabeled, effectively replacing what we normally did where we allowed new book discussion things in the normal Cosmere board. That will not be permitted this time around. All new spoiler content will be in this category.

Since Dawnshard's prologue is coming in the newsletter later today we have also made a dedicated Dawnshard board. The Dawnshard board will not have Rhythm of War spoilers, but the other RoW boards could discuss Dawnshard details as a "full spoiler" zone. 

Obviously, there's some overlap of character vs. lore/cosmere discussion, and I don't think we need to be super strict about that. But generally, I'd say lore/cosmere stuff is more about magic, Realmatics, and the mechanics of how things work. Character Discussion focuses more on characterization and relationships. There is some middle ground for sure, but use that as a rule of thumb. I've moved a variety of topics already. If you want a topic in a different board, just report it. 

Hopefully this will make things a lot more manageable for people to find things they want to interact with. Certainly in Oathbringer's time, things got very busy.
