Guidelines

[xita]

This is your basic guidelines.. nothing that goes against w/t .. ever.



1. Only members of more than a month and more than 25 posts can join. They should also have posted in the last 2 months.



2. They must have never have said a bad word about the kittenboard or kittens in general anywhere.



3. Buffy stuff can be posted that doesn't violate the FAQ, i.e. w/t the couple, and that means no w/other. The focus is still willow and that shall be the main thrust of discussion.



4. You come in with the understanding that the board supports the Lesbian Cliche FAQ and that there will likely be some anger. The terms of the Kitten FAQ would still be in effect, that means no bashing of anyone, but there will be negative opinions. If this makes you uncomfortable, this would not be the board to join.



5. Membership on this board does not necessarily mean you will be watching, but if you are interested in just reading what is going on, then you might want to join up.



6. Do not replicate any of the posts anywhere.



7. Membership to the season 7 board can be taken at any point if any of these rules are violated.



8. There will only be one spoiler thread per episode, no more mini spoiler threads. General spoilery/speculative information can go into the main spoiler thread. There will also be only one thread for the multimedia of season 7 and it should be, as with the spoiler and episode discussion heavily Willow or Willow/Tara focused.

Tara: (to Willow)And we’re gone.

Xita,



What are the guidelines for topics, etc. Are we going to have similar to the old spoiler thread and discussion thread and multimedia threads?



I know a lot of you won't be watching but want to know what happens etc.



I will be watching and such and will be happy to provide screen caps or whatever depending on how Xita wants to handle things.

Thank you Xita, i cant tell you how much i appreciate the fact that ill be able to keep up on whats happening with our Willow..I know i will miss W/T soooooo much Anyway thanks for all your hard work, you are a goddess

[xita]

Yeah pretty much the old rules apply. Except no spoiler board it's all in here. Spoilers should stay in the one thread, though for the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would want to watch unspoiled



Other threads, like the rant thread will likely have spoilers.



Also, Willow focused... that's what we still have left, so it's imperative that people focus their energy on that, again, we won't waste space on long debates about spike or whatever. No need to get hard feelings up about that.

Thank you for all this Xita. I know you & the other Mods must have had a lot of thinking to decide what to do for the best of everyone, I think the Closed Forum is definately going to work the best.

Just wanted to add my thanks for setting up this space. I'm in it for the long count even if I spend all my time muttering bitterly at the screen. So I appreciate being able to talk about it in my home. Thanks!

This is such a great thing, Xita, thanks.

Willow made a small fist and waved it at her (Tara), and the two grinned in that secret knowing way lovers ever did. It amazed him now, looking back upon it, that he had not realized sooner that Willow and Tara were more than merely friends. -Giles, "The Wisdom of War"

Thanks Xita - At least we can share the bitterness together.

[VampNo12]

Just want to chime in with my thanks Xita, it's greatly appreciated! I probably won't be watching, but can't seem to let Willow go completely so having spoilers on what's happening in her life seems like a good solution for me. And yes I too can't wait to chime in on the bitterness.

[maudmac]

This is great. Thanks, xita. I forgive you for loving avocados.



I will be happy to have a safe place to attempt to articulate my raging bitterness. There's no other place I'd rather be.



Whatever goes down, BtVS-wise, at least we'll all be amongst family here.

Xita, I've been scratching my head ever since the whole Season Sux fiasco began, wondering how we could all manage to deal with S7 as a board - and frankly, I had no idea and kinda thought it would be almost impossible. But there you are, and now here's this forum, and it's just the best idea. Thanks for that.

This is definitely a good way to keep the show away from the rest of the board for people who want to stay away and to give people who want a safe place to talk about it to do so. Thanks for deciding to give us this.

Thanks xita. For everything.

[kbk3022]

Xita, this was a great idea, and I'm glad you've decided to do this closed forum, now we don't have to deal with people lying to us with fake spoilers. (ed anyone?) Anyway, thanks.

Xita and all the mods, thank you so much for this forum. I am still undecided about whether or not I'll watch S7 but at least this will give me a safe place to come to give me some idea of what to expect. Thank you all again, Wendy Rae

xita, thank you for this forum. I truly like that is a "kitten" friendly place.

Glad to see a safe and spoiler full place to get out our angst over season 7 willow and her grieve for tara. Going to be a long hard season as we grieve right along with our favorite red head.

[BytrSuite]

Yes, thanks xita for doing this. I appreciate all the extra work you're going through for it. It'll be nice to have a safe place to be bitter and annoyed with this piece of crap show.

[Pipsqueak]

Xita, I just wanted to thank you for coming up with this solution, I think it's a great idea. Also, thanks for keeping the spoiler stuff in a separate thread. I am probably one of only a few Kittens who doesn't want to be spoiled for next season, but it's very nice of you to accommodate the 2 or 3 of us. I'm braving the unspoiled waters because, let's face it, Tara's gone and W/T is over. Nothing they could do from this point on would shock me anymore. It's like, what's left to get upset about?



And on that note, this is my last post as a Flaming O. It was fun while it lasted.

Thanks Xita for setting up this forum.

[xita]

Thanks guys. I just want to make most kitties happy or in this case happier, cause let's face it, no w/t.. how happy can we be.



I have been trying to find a way for us to co-exist. I knew that no matter what we said, people would be upset and come to bug us. Oh, you are still watching, aren't you happy Willow visited the grave etc. We may disagree here but at least we are kittens. And we love w/t unconditionally.



Anyway, I thought a private board, would take us away from people who hate us. We may dislike each other from time to time but hey that's not hate. And it would shelter those who absolutely do not want to hear anything about season 7.



I didn't do this to squelch opinions, I did it for the sake of the community. Anyway, the private forum has been in the works for a while. We just had an administrative disagreement for a while but it all worked out which gives me even more faith in the kittens.



I am not out to ignore lurkers, if you want to vouch for someone, I am more than willing to listen.



Anyway, it will be a difficult year, and know that the things I do for w/t and for the kitties. It's really nothing personal.

Thanks for setting up this forum, Xita! It's appreciated.

Cheers, Xita...Don't know how the hell I'd make it through S7 without the Kitten board, and all the Kittens who dwell within

[walker]

Thank you so much Xita, this must have taken a hell of a lot of work. Just letting you know it's appreciated.

This is such a great idea, Xita. It's wonderful to feel comfortable posting here without fear of someone jumping in to trample all over us.

thank you for this forum. i was pretty confused when i just couldn't find the former threads. as i wouldn't watch season 7 even if i were able to, it's great to have this place.

Yesterday that latest Joss interview where he talks about how depressing life is had appeared in the "I Want Tara Back" thread. Now that thread has disappeared, and we have the spoiler thread in this forum.



If I wanted to bring up the Joss interview again and discuss it, where would I do that? Somewhere in this forum, or on the main board?

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a huge number of 'I've always been a lurker so even though I've only posted twice please let me in'?



I know I'm a cynical old girl, & I know they're probably all genuine, it just seems coincidental that they've all suddenly found their voices...
