Admittedly, this is the first TV show wiki forum that I’ve ever cared enough to participate in but from what I’ve seen it is doing what I thought a “Speculation and Spoilers” section would. Now, I’ve only been on a few weeks and I have seen zero spoilers on here (I guess Jeff Davis runs a pretty tight ship) but the speculations I’ve participated in I thought were appropriate:  Why didn’t Lydia want Scott to know she told Peter about Malia, what is the secret Scott’s father is hiding, why is Scott weaker than we would expect an Alpha to be, why does Kira’s 800+ year old mother look in her 20s in the 1940s but in her 40s now, etc? Most of these will definitely be answered on the show and all of these could reasonably be answered.

I did see a little bit of the “everyone is a Fox” dialogue. It is not a theory I would subscribe to or give much thought to but everyone has a right to an opinion and are excited about the show.

I will say that the Forum name change, while mildly amusing, would have caused me to not take this entire Forum seriously if I saw that before I was already a participant and may dissuade some new people from participating if that is the first thing they see when click on the site. For some more cynical or ironic people, it may actually embolden them to put even wackier theories out there.

I would suggest possibly going to something else. If you don’t like a simple “Speculation and Spoilers” section how about “Spoilers, Speculation on Unresolved Questions and Unproven Theories” or something else indicating the mixed range of discussion type?
