Board Thread:False Info and Speculative Discussion/@comment-108.161.118.168-20140421224216/@comment-11533671-20140423171942

Not to ruffle any feathers but isn't the definition of a forum a meeting place to discuss things openly and to share ideas? I understand keeping fan fic and opinion out of the pages that deal with information about the show but when one goes to the "forum" of any website, especially when it is titled  False Info and Speculative Discussion board, doesn't the title alone invite those very things? It is borderline insane to expect anything else. Of course here on TW wiki the definition of the forums seems to include the idea that opinions and headcanon is too taboo for discussion (thus rendering the true definition of forums, as well as the actual titling of these forums, null and void).

IF one wants the truth then all they need to do is look it up in the categories or ask Paul, which seems to work. Forums by definition do not equate to truth or canon and I believe that most ppl would agree and not expect them to. I don't look in the Yahoo comment section when I want the truth of an article, I look for it in encyclopedias, dictionaries and other reputable sources. IF ideas, theories and all that is unwanted then why not just take out the forums all together?

Oh well, as I stated, I completely understand the desire to keep information about the show completely canon within the pages of the wiki but I disagree with the idea that forums should be banned from such trivialties. I also figure the real problem has to do with search engines picking up on the forums when someone queries a question. I wish there were a way to keep that from happening but I suppose that the way Paul does it works as well as it can given the reality of things. Oh well, it is what it is. I'll continue to obey the "laws" of the land here and go about my way.
