Chy, I'm with you! I peeked into the "clues and speculation" discussion thread after being told it wasn't that bad. Well, it was that bad. I don't want to even know about texting clues and slo-mo clues. So, yeah, I'm still not sure why we can't have an "episode" discussion thread and a "clues, clues, clues" thread.

Jimmer - can we have an "episode" discussion thread - with no discussion brought over from other boards - just us!! If its too much one episode thread - but I think it may be more like the other threads that some posters are asking about - the Week 3 June 23 Mole episode... just a thought of course!! pretty please?? (<reader waves to Kar in case she's our moderator dujour>)

In these episode threads, can we point out potential clues and speculate about them? Because otherwise the "clues" people won't have anywhere to chat about the show! I'm not sure there's an easy answer to this!

Well, there's that thing call majority. Reader, Curly, Brenda, Madelane, Webchiq and myself like talking about the show w/o seeing JKHGJH kind of "Clues". Colr, Kitt, C'smom ... seem to have different ideas as to which are the kind of clues ... whatever, I'm lost as well... Pamy, Happymom & Scoot doesn't really mind the thread numbers, they just love Mole! Tnt, Lexie-girl, LT, Sugar, ... are posters who want nothing to do with more threads. However, Brenda, Kitt and Happy also said they like it the way it is. Even Reader in the beginning! (Almost missed that!) (You two-timers! ) Maybe there could be a thread for speculations(which is the reason to watch this show ) from what we saw on the show only, If it turned out to be not so worth-while with Reader, Brenda, Webchiq, Madelane, Curly and myself posting in it, the Mods could always lock it and say: Never again! (Actually, I could even see Color, Kitt, C'smom, Pamy, Happy, Lycan, even Scoot posting in it here and there!) I much rather spent this energy posting about my thoughts on the Mole-acting players from the things they do on the show .... , if only I know for sure which thread I'll fit!! Now I will probably catch flogs from misrepresenting people's thoughts.... Please don't banish me though, I'll just do the self-exile from Mole if I'm not welcomed.

Even though I don't watch the Mole, this is my favorite thread about the Mole! It makes me smile when it comes up on new messages. You know, because it's another thread about the Mole.

Kitt, the clues people have two threads. Three counting the Spoiler thread. Four if they remember not to talk clues in that no nothing thread. Five if we count this one, In my counting anyways. Posters who want to speculate from what's seen on the show but not want to be influenced by the odd clues have no threads to be in. , Period. Sorry, don't mean to shout, thought I point out the differences ... (getting frustrated, though )

LOL Kit! At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, all we really want to do is try to make everyone happy and enjoy posting here. If that isn't possible, then we want to make as many people happy as possible. Now we've just got to figure out the best way to do that. What we do want to avoid is people getting into heated discussions about what is posted in each thread so it spoils the fun of watching the show. Because this is a show that we all like, enjoy and want to support! We're listening to what everyone is saying (so you are welcome to keep making suggestions) and I'll have a couple of suggestions about threads coming up.

Okay. I'll try to sum up what we've been hearing here. Fan A: These are the "Too Many Threads" fans. People who already think we have too many threads or at least don't particularly want any more threads. At this point there isn't a whole lot we can do there because we aren't likely to be going back to one thread. However, we can suggest that there will probably be at most two threads that you might want to post in regularly, so that isn't too bad. Fan B: Then there are the "No Clues and Speculation" fans. As it turns out, these fans really seem to be the "No invisible clues" fans. They kind of want to approach the show in the view of the contestants on the show. They don't want to use slow motion, stop frame, text messaging, web clues, introduction clues to try to figure out who The Mole is. Rather they want to do it as if they were actually playing the game as one of the contestants and speculate who the Mole is that way. So no "Producer" clues. Fan C: Fan C just wants to see and analyze everything possible (except true outside the show spoilers). LOL – They may be reading the players' tea leaves to try to figure out who The Mole is! -------------------------------------- So here is an idea for how we can rearrange the threads: The General Discussion (No Clues and Speculation) thread becomes The General Discussion (no Producer Clues) thread. Everyone above should be happy posting in this thread. The East Coast show discussion can also take place in this thread. People can discuss clues that the contestants would have seen while playing the game as well as speculate about who the Mole is based on those clues. The General Discussion, Clues and Speculation thread becomes the Producer Clues Discussion thread. This will be a thread for discussing things that viewers have found using slow motion, freeze frame, text messaging, web clues and introduction clues. These are what we will call "Producer Clues". Clues that the viewer can see but that weren't available to the contestants when they were part of the show. The other threads stay as they are. --------------------------------------------- So what does everyone think? Yay?!?!?!?

I'm a Fan C. (Albeit mis-represented by Chy! Voting irregularities!) The compromise Jimmer suggested sounds fine, although I would rather not have to edit myself at all, it would be a lot easier the way it's proposed. I still don't "get" Fan B types (as elaborated in my earlier post) but there are a few of you on here so we can all work together. Yay team! Thanks Jimmer!!!!

I accidentally was placed in the wrong group by Chy also, because I'm a Fan C type, with big splash of Fan A and think we should be able to speculate and share everything in at least one thread because it's fun to have lots of clues to put together. I can see why people would be Fan B. because there are a lot of smart people out on the Internet analyzing everything and it would be possible to know who the mole is. I think I have enough information now to know for sure and I enjoy watching that person's action as I'm sure they are the mole.

LOL - Hmmm .... You never know. Thanks everyone for all the great comments! It sounds generally favorable so I think we'll go ahead and make that proposed change now and see how it goes. Remember .... just two threads to look at for Fan A people.

So we made the changes. Hopefully this works better for most people. Please everyone - don't get frustrated or stressed out about which thread to post in. It's not life or death! And thanks again to everyone for all of their enthusiasm and support for the show and this discussion. As a fan of the show, I'm happy to see so much interest.

A definite Fan B here (and unfortunately the original cause of all the commotion, I think)...and I'm totally in awe of Jimmer! You do know you'd have a career in politics, don't you? What better place to make so many people, so happy?

After dealing with a problem Roto-rooter guys finally fixed for us, this is the best thing! Thank you very much for the tireless work from Mods!As a Fan B, I will now be able to go read and post in the designated thread now! I promise to cease this OT discussion and stop giving you headaches! As for all the posters I misrepresented, I'm very sorry! My bad! It was very late on the East Coast, and I had the thought that I might not be able to go to any thread for the show I'd so longed for. I think I had a panic attack!?! Please forgive me! But I think our wise moderators know what's what.

Jimmer, no one loves speculations/spoilers more than I do. In fact, during Survivor and TAR, I live in the spoiler sections. You can send mail to me in the spoiler sections. I sleep in the spoiler sections. My only concern was that there were going to be a billion threads for a show that is not being "spoiled" like Idol, Survivor and TAR. I'm not saying The Mole isn't spoilworthy, but the fact is no one is spoiling it.
