It's either "allow discussions about the series" or "not at all". There is no "in-between". I have to completely disagree with you there. That all or nothing thinking is half the reason these things get out of hand. They have to have rules and they have to be moderated, that's how all successful forums operated. If you and I both have theories and opinions on chapter 780 why should there be two separate threads? Even if our opinions are different its still the same topic. Likewise, there's no need to have 37 different topics on shipping when one thread would be far more organised. It's not about restricting the discussions people have so much as containing them to key areas. Most systems flourish best under some restrictions.
